Charlie Caruso interviews Tommaso Ciampa, but Ciampa is surrounded by The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson). Ciampa fights them, and the brawl spills into the arena and into the ring. Ciampa easily falls to the numbers game. Dawson then says that everyone is a tough guy until they face reality, and calls The Revival "reality." He says Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa got a reality check at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II. Ciampa crawls back into the ring, but The Revival hit him with a Shatter Machine.

Steve Cutler beats Kenneth Crawford.

Hideo Itami says that hitting Austin Aries with the GTS was a huge moment, but in the end, Aries disappointed him. He calls Aries "a little baby who doesn't want to feel pain," and tells him to get out of his ring or else he'll make him go to sleep again.

We look back at "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura's match against Finn Balor from July 13th.

He has faced Sami Zayn, Finn Balor and Samoa Joe, and through the pain, he is now NXT Champion. He respects Samoa Joe, but says Joe's era is over, and that his era has now begun.
