Dark Match: Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford def. Riddick Moss and Tino Sabbatelli

Ruby Riot def. Kimberly Frankele

Nikki Cross was at ringside.

Andrade Cien Almas def. Danny Burch

Drew McIntyre def. Oney Lorcan

Post match: Drew says he could have signed anywhere. He has all the Raw talent and can lay the Smackdown on anyone, but NXT has the biggest prize and he’ll run through everyone on the roster if he has to in order to win the NXT title.

In-Ring Segment: Shinsuke Nakamura Says Goodbye

Shinsuke Nakamura comes out. He says one year ago, he challenged himself. He wanted a face the best in the world. He was already a champion in Japan. He says NXT is energy, it’s passion.

In-Ring Segment: Bobby Roode and Hideo Itami

He says he’s upset Shinsuke Nakamura got in his ring and that the rest of the roster came out and celebrated. Roode says you didn’t see him on the stage. He didn’t want to listen to the crap coming out of Shinsuke Nakamura’s mouth. He says none of the people in the crowd and none of the people on the stage belong in his NXT.
