NXT Tag Team Championship

Segment: Undisputed Era

Undisputed Therapy for Roderick Strong, who has been haunted by Dexter Lumis. Adam Cole says they’re going to get Strong professional help. Strong can get back to being himself after this.

In-Ring: Adam Cole, Keith Lee, Finn Balor

NXT Champion Adam Cole is interviewed backstage. Cole is staring at the hourglass left by Scarlett last week. He’s asked about Karrion Kross’ challenge. Keith Lee walks up to him and asks for a word. Lee says Karrion Kross isn’t taking the NXT Title from Cole. Lee smashes the hourglass and says it will be him. Cole angrily walks off, and Lee says, “Tick, tock.”

After commercials, NXT Champion Adam Cole makes his way to the ring. Cole says he’s been champion for 381 days and not one of those days has been taken for granted. He’s the hardest working and greatest champion in the history of this business. For 381 days, people have tried to knock him down and failed. You can’t just throw your name into the hat and get a title shot. For example, Karrion Kross beat Tommaso Ciampa and wants a title shot. He’s beaten Ciampa already.

As for Keith Lee, Lee may have his eyes on the NXT Title, but Cole has his eyes on the North American Championship. He was the first North American Champion. Maybe he wants to hold that title for 381 days. Maybe he wants two titles and will be known as “Champ, Champ bay-bay.”

NXT North American Champion Keith Lee makes his way to the ring. Lee gets in the ring… and Johnny Gargano’s music hits. Gargano comes out to the stage and says this is a cool moment. However, he doesn’t care about moments anymore. Gargano cares about results. Gargano pinned Lee last week and is coming after the North American Championship… but why stop there? He’s the first-ever triple crown champion in NXT. It’s about time he gets the title reign he deserves. They’ll be the first couple to ever be NXT Champion and NXT Women’s Champion. Lee asks Gargano about Candice LeRae and says he seemed to care more about her than Gargano. Lee picked her up, and LeRae apparently

Finn Bálor comes out and says if they’re done being marks for themselves, they can be marks for him. Bálor says he’s had championships all over the world, but he’s never held the North American Championship. Gargano says Bálor has never been a triple crown winner. Bálor says he doesn’t wait in line. He’s going to take Lee’s title. When he does, he’s coming for Cole. Bálor says Cole is a great transitional champion… Cole says he beat Bálor’s record. Just like Bálor’s career, Cole shows up and betters him.

NXT General Manager William Regal appears on the screen. Next week, Johnny Gargano and Finn Bálor will face Keith Lee for the NXT North American Championship. Whoever wins that match will face Adam Cole in a Winner Take All Match on July 8.

Backstage: Keith Lee, Candice LeRae, Mia Yim

Keith Lee is walking backstage, but Candice LeRae corners him. She’s furious over what he said moments ago. Mia Yim attacks her from behind, and they brawl big time.

Winner by Pinfall: Bronson Reed

Bronson Reed says he’s not one to forget. That’s why he’s going to do what no one else has. He calls out Karrion Kross for a match next week. Reed helps Ruff up and carries him to the back.

Segment: Damian Priest, Cameron Grimes

We go outside to see Damian Priest by his car. All the tires are slashed. Cameron Grimes drives up and asks if he should call him an Uber. Grimes laughs as he drives off.

In-Ring: Santos Escobar, Raul Mendoza, Joaquin Wilde, Drake Maverick

NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar comes out with Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde. Escobar says El Hijo del Fantasma was known in the Latin culture as the best Lucha Libre artist ever. Of course when you wear a mask, that’s all you’ll ever be – a luchador in a mask. For 20 years, that was him. Then he earned a shot at coming to NXT, a worldwide platform. Escobar knew the book on El Hijo del Fantasma was at an end. His father, El Fantasma, always told him he’d be a leader, not a luchador. Escobar tells Mendoza and Wilde that he’ll make them leaders because he’s the leader of leaders. They’ll make a new legacy.

Drake Maverick walks out to the stage and congratulates Escobar on fooling everyone. Maverick says he has more guts than brains and gets in the ring. Maverick attacks Escobar and fights off Wilde and Mendoza. Maverick hits Escobar with a suicide dive, but Mendoza and Wilde take him down. They drop him on the barricade and dump him over. They attack him some more. Escobar gets on a platform and gives Maverick the Phantom Driver through a table! Escobar stands tall with Mendoza and Wilde.

During the commercial, Drake Maverick was taken away in an ambulance.
