Notes
– During Week 2, Sanity and Killian Dain came out to new music. In Week 3, they were back to the original theme.
– Speaking of themes, there was new NXT music for the opening, but reverted back to the current theme as the tapings went on.
– Tickets for the Mae Young Classic were put on sale for the Full Sail crowd after the taping, ahead of Friday’s on sale.
– Seating for the Mae Young Classic will be set up like a regular NXT show. It is NOT the same layout as the Cruiserweight Classic.
– There was no Bobby Roode championship celebration filmed for the audience, so it will likely be a pretape.
– As always, some of these matches may air out of order or even used as dark matches.
