Dark Match: Fabian Aichner defeated Raul Mendoza
Week 1 – To Air June 27
In-Ring: Aleister Black, Tommaso Ciampa – NXT Champion Aleister Black opened the show with an in-ring interview before being interrupted by Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa said he only needs one opportunity to take the championship and the aura from Black.
Kona Reeves defeated Max Humberto via Samoan drop.
Candice LeRae defeated Lacey Evans via lionsault.
The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) defeated Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven) & Ricochet – NXT Tag Team Champions Moustache Mountain were set to face two enhancement wrestlers when Undisputed Era destroyed the opponents on the stage. It was about to be three-on-two against Tyler Bate and Trent Seven, but Ricochet ran down to even the odds. They had an excellent match that had great action. Undisputed Era won after Ricochet was caught on the outside and Strong destroyed him with a backbreaker, with him being pinned by Cole after Strong rolled him in.
Weeks 2, 3, 4 (?)
Dakota Kai defeated Santana Garrett – Kai used her Kairopractor sunset flip lungblower for the finish. The crowd loved Garrett in her home state.
In-Ring: Shayna Baszler – Shayna Baszler did an interview in the ring where she ran down the women’s division and said no one can take the title from her.
Handicap match: The Mighty (Shane Thorne & Nick Miller) defeated Otis Dozovic – It was implied that Tucker Knight, whose family just welcomed the birth of their daughter, was injured backstage. The Mighty won with a lariat to the back of Dozovic’s head.
Kairi Sane defeated Vanessa Borne via her Anchor submission. After the match, she said she could beat Baszler again, again, and again, with the crowd joining in with her.
Velveteen Dream defeated Chris Dijak – Dream was even more popular with the crowd than before and used a spinning DDT for the victory. EC3 interrupted Dream’s exit before the next match.
Johnny Gargano defeated EC3 – Gargano used a much more vicious style, winning a physical match with the same draping DDT that Ciampa defeated him with in Chicago.
NXT North American Champion Adam Cole defeated Danny Burch via Shining Wizard to the back of the head.
Lacey Evans defeated Dakota Kai – Evans controlled this throughout and was able to survive Kai’s big comeback before hitting the Woman’s Right punch for the win.
Kassius Ohno defeated an enhancement wrestler – Ohno connected with the knockout elbow to win in less than a minute.
Kairi Sane defeated Candice LeRae and Nikki Cross in a triple threat number one contender’s match – Sane will challenge for Baszler’s NXT Women’s Championship at TakeOver: Brooklyn. The crowd was very into this one with split reactions for everyone involved. Sane won with an elbow to the back of LeRae, who had already hit a lionsault on Cross and was going for the pin. Great finish. Baszler was on commentary and had a staredown with Sane after the match.
The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) defeated Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven) to win the NXT Tag Team Championship – Unbelievable crowd reaction for this. There were dueling chants for both teams throughout the entire match. O’Reilly and Strong destroyed Seven’s leg for so long that Bate had to throw in the towel. Excellent match — this is must-see.
