Nathan Frazer beats Eddy Thorpe in a men's Iron Survivor qualifier. During the match, numerous tag teams show up around the ring and the crowd to get a closer look at the match, and later on in the match, they all start brawling. After the match, multiple referees have to restore order as all the tag teams keep brawling.

At Chase University, Andre Chase talks to his students about the risk that he is taking tonight and how Chase University has become what he is after putting everything he has into it, then talks about what Chase University has done and overcome to get to where it is now. He says that those memories have made the university and that he will not let anyone or anything take the university away when he becomes #1 contender for the NXT Championship.

We hear from Giulia, who says that it has been a little over two months since she moved to America from Japan, and while America is different from Japan, she is having a fun time learning a new culture while the fans get to learn who she is. She says that the only skills she learned came from the fights she got into growing up and that she would do anything to win them, and that after she qualifies, four other women will get a taste of "the Beautiful Madness."

Backstage, Lexis King is seen talking to somebody, saying that while he has not put his best foot forward, he is turning over a new leaf and being the best person he can be, and that people are taking notice slowly and steadily. He then thanks Yoshiki Inamura, who he is talking to, for not judging his based on his past.

Jacy Jayne says that they are the three most powerful women in the ring and have made sure they are sitting and staying at the top. Fallon says to stay at the top, one must hold championship gold, and says people should be talking about her and not the women's Iron Survivor Challenge. Jazmyn Nyx says they are above every athlete, no matter how good they are, and Fallon says she can either sit at the top or put her title on the line, and proposes an open challenge for the NXT Women's North American Championship next week. Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson show up wanting a piece of the action, as does Nikkita Lyons, and this leads to a brawl involving the entire NXT women's division. Meanwhile, Tatum Paxley sneaks up behind Fallon, who is still in the ring, and hits her with the Prism Trap.

Backstage, Niko Vance meets with Brooks Jensen and Shawn Spears, and tells Spears that he has his title match next week.

We hear from "All Ego" Ethan Page, who says that he does not waste opportunity and that he picks his opponents and his spots, and that all he has to do is qualify for the men's Iron Survivor Challenge next week.

Backstage, as Nathan Frazer says that "All Ego" Ethan Page being in the men's Iron Survivor Challenge will prove interesting, Axiom says Ethan will not, because Ethan will be facing him. Nathan likes the idea, but Axiom reminds him that they will have to face off if he wins.

At Chase University, Andre Chase says that tonight is the biggest match of his career and that Chase University is nothing but conventional. He says that while he has been tough on his students and apologizes for absolutely nothing, as he will give Ridge Holland a Chase University-sized ass whupping as he becomes NXT Champion.

We hear from The Miz, who says it has been an emotional couple of weeks, and that now, he can honestly say and truly hope that it was the performance of a lifetime as Karrion Kross laughs behind him.

After he tells Kaiser to take care of business, he takes off his jacket and attacks Priest - who he suddenly notices - from behind only for Priest to get the upper hand.

Sami tells Rollins he did this before with Cody Rhodes last year, and asks him to do it again. Rollins says he would stand side-by-side with them, but he will never do that with Roman Reigns, as much as he would love to tear "Big" Bronson Reed in a steel cage, and says that it is not worth it for him. He then says he will solve their problems tonight by dropping "Big" Bronson Reed so he does not make it to Survivor Series WarGames. Rollins then wishes them good luck before saying he is out.

He says the trust of the innocent is a liar's most useful tool. He says The Wyatt Sicks offered salvation and freedom from the pit, but that The Miz has damned himself.
