Ember Moon vs. Mandy Rose

We cut to the CWC and Mandy Rose comes out for her match, wearing brand new figure-fitting red ring gear. She’s accompanied by the rest of Toxic Attraction–Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne–during her entrance. Next out is Ember Moon, wearing a glow-in-the-dark green skull-looking thing. She ditches it as she heads to the ring for our first match! The crowd is behind Ember as the bell rings. Mandy and Ember take turns attempting working holds. Rose with a side headlock on Moon, who whips Rose into the ropes and thrusts her down. Moon stands over Mandy, shaking her butt at Rose to tease her. Moon shows off her aggressive side as she traps Rose in the Tree of Woe and starts laying into her. As the ref counts his warning, she backs off and goes right back for more. Jayne & Dolin pull Rose out of the ring. Ember Moon hits a beautiful Suicide Dive that wipes out Jacy Jayne. Rose looks to capitalize on this with a Hurricanrana-looking move, but Moon turns it into an Apron Powerbomb! Rose takes control as they enter the ring. Rose locks an Abdominal Stretch on Moon, and holds it for a long time. The crowd is hot and constantly chants for Moon throughout the entirety of the match. Moon takes control and sends Rose crashing to the canvas. Moon with a running strike. Moon looks for the Eclipse but Rose moves. Moon charges Rose, who hits her with a leaping knee and covers her to pick up the win.

Your Winner, Mandy Rose!

Video Promo: Legado Del Fantasma

We get a promo from LDF, in which they mock Hit Row and essentially say “you’re lucky you’re moving to SmackDown.” That’s the gist of it. Santos again pledged to go after Swerve’s North American title (which he’ll have to drop to someone as Hit Row was called up to SmackDown.)

LA Knight vs. Odyssey Jones

Odyssey Jones comes out as we head to a break, and when we return LA Knight is on his way to the ring. Vic Joseph, Wade Barrett, and Beth Phoenix–our commentary team–disagree on Knight’s tactics. The bell rings and Knight backs up, backing around the ring while constantly grabbing a top rope so Jones can’t touch him. Jones heads into the corner but Knight clocks him with a right. Knight takes a moment to celebrate, and the big man unleashes hell on Knight. Jones throws Knight brutally across the ring and into the corner. Jones’ power is completely on display. Knight runs off the ropes and right into a shoulder thrust from Jones. Knight takes control and uses the ropes to choke Jones. The ref warns him and he breaks, only to attack Jones again. This goes on for a few times before Knight runs along the apron and connects a knee to Jones’ head. Knight takes it back into the ring and leaps high up, hitting a dropping elbow. Very impressive. The crowd chants for Odyssey and insults at Knight. Knight unloads a series of punches on Jones. Knight lifts Jones, holding him cross-body style for an impressively long time, until Jones’ weight is too much. They fall to the mat with Jones crushing Knight. Jones fires up his comeback and floors Knight with a huge clothesline. Jones with a hopping knee thrust that lays out Knight.

Andre Chase hits the ring, standing on the apron. Jones moves to the ropes and slugs Chase. The distraction proves enough and Knight drops Jones with a neckbreaker and pins. Jones’ foot seemed to be on the bottom rope but Chase moved it before the ref saw.

Your Winner, LA Knight!

Backstage: Cameron Grimes

Grimes tells Mac that love is in the air, pointing out InDex and Cora Jade and her boyfriend Trey. Grimes decides he’s going to get a woman, too, when Pete Dunne & Ridge Holland approach Grimes.

They hesitate and make excuses as we go to break.

Bron Breakker! The Steiner son climbs into the ring and stands toe-to-toe with Ciampa. “Tommaso Ciampa. I’ve treated you with nothing but respect since the day I walked through the door. But I don’t give a damn if I’ve been here for 4 minutes, 4 weeks or 4 months, I want to be the NXT Champion!” Crowd pops at this. Bron goes on to challenge Tommaso at Halloween Havoc for the title. Ciampa tells Breakker “the difference between you and me is you want the NXT title, …I need this title.” He tells Bron he knows he’s using it as a stepping stone. He tells Bron that he’s got to upgrade from an Intern to a P.h.D. In three weeks at Halloween Havoc, Ciampa defends against Breakker!

Boa yells at them to get out. Persia says that was freaky and Indi says “I’ve seen freakier.”

Ikemen Jiro vs. Joe Gacy

Backstage, Joe Gacy addresses us all and babbles on about his “woke” philosophy. He tells us tonight in the ring, he’ll make it a safe space then adds his thoughts that two people can win. We head to break.

When we return to the CWC Jiro is in the ring and Gacy makes his way out. They both shake hands before going at it. Gacy with a side waist lock. Jiro escapes and runs off the ropes, but stops as Gacy talks “woke” stuff to him. Jiro and Gacy go at it again, and the crowd is hot for Ikemen. They again lock up with no man taking the advantage. Again, they shake hands. Gacy then sends Jiro to the corner, then middle of the ring, hitting multiple punches. Gacy with a standard suplex to the jeers of the crowd.

Gacy climbs up and Jiro immediately takes him down to the mat hard. Both men run off the ropes and Gacy somersaults to the ropes, off of them, and drops Jiro with a huge clothesline.

Vignette: Duke Hudson

We return to see a stack of chips and playing cards behind flicked. Hudson tells us he’s an NXT Superstar as well as a poker champion. As he tells us he’s going to take the belt, we watch him play poker with someone. He ends the segment with “better luck next time.” Okay.

Cora Jade vs. Franky Monet

This marks Cora Jade’s NXT 2.0 debut. She comes out to a good pop. Her unnamed opponent is suddenly attacked by Franky Monet, who decimates the woman on the floor.

Robert Stone yells that her opponent is Franky, and the announcer makes it a match. Franky comes off the bell fast. Monet takes Jade to the corner and stomps her. Monet with a Hard Irish Whip followed by a running knee to Jade’s face. Trey Baxter, Jade’s boyfriend, comes to ringside and encourages her. Monet maintains control for the majority of the match.

MSK comment on the fatal 4-way and the fact that they can lose the titles without being pinned. The Grizzled Young Veterans show up and accuse the MSK of being unable to defeat them straight up, so they had the match changed. Briggs & Jensen come up as GYV babble with MSK.

We cut to the ring. Dunne and his enforcer are already out. Grimes comes out to a decent reaction from the crowd. Both men ready-up. When the bell rings, both men circle. Grimes takes an early lead, showing a lot of excellent offense and appeasing the crowd. Dunne eventually takes control and begins to focus his attacks on Grimes’ left arm. Dunne uses the ropes to assist an arm submission, then takes Grimes to the middle of the ring. Dunne holds onto Grime’s wrist and takes him down to the mat. Dunne then twists the arm and drives Grimes to the mat, where he begins manipulating the joints and digits. Grimes throws a few punches, attempting to gain some separation.

They give props for being drafted to SmackDown. Swerve then answers Escobar’s challenge, telling him he accepts the challenge for the North American title. Swerve tells the camera the only way Escobar will see the belt is on Friday nights.

Tony D’Angelo vs. Malik Blade

When we return, Blade is already in the ring. D’Angelo comes out to mixed reaction from the crowd. Vic Joseph continues the probably-offensive Italian stereotypes, hinting that Tony tried to pay off the ref, his “family” are in waste management (the Sopranos), and he’ll have Blade “sleeping with the fishes.” They start off fast, with Tony easily handling Blade’s speed. Tony uses a series of working holds, wearing down Blade. Tony with a running knee to the face, followed by a side headlock. Tony gets a hot chant from the crowd. Tony takes Blade to the corner.

She threatens Rose, and says that if Rose touches Gonzalez’s belt again, she’ll put her in a body cast.

Rose calls Gonzalez a desperate champion who knows her title reign is coming to an end. Rose tells Gonzalez that they’re taking over. Gigi tells Raquel its not her fault–Rose is championship material, and she (Gigi) and Jacy are championship material. Raquel mentions bashing her with the title, giving her stitches. Jacy gets on the mic, calling Raquel desperate, then insults Raquel’s wardrobe. She claims they are the faces of NXT 2.0 and promises that they’ll be holding all the gold in the women’s division “because we’re not just Toxic Attraction, we are the attraction!”
