The Undisputed Era (Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish, Roderick Strong) retain the NXT Tag Team Championships against Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic after Keith Lee shoulder blocks Adam Cole - who is running towards the ring - into the first and second rows near the ramp. During the match, Bobby Fish is injured after being tossed into Kyle O'Reilly from the ring to the outside by Keith Lee, and he is replaced on short notice during the commercial break by Roderick Strong, who is still in street clothes.
It is announced that Tegan Nox is not here due to Dakota Kai's actions at NXT TakeOver: War Games.
Backstage, Cathy Kelly interviews Candice LeRae, who says that ever since War Games, all she has heard about is Dakota Kai destroying somebody who might as well be her own blood in Tegan Nox. She thought Dakota Kai was a friend and didn't expect her to do what she did, and says Tegan Nox will get hers against Dakota Kai. She says that Dakota Kai will meet "Tegan Nox's pissed-off big sister" instead of a friend in the ring tonight.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Tommaso Ciampa, who says that he issued the challenge against Finn Balor because he wanted it, and while Finn Balor made history in NXT, he made the NXT Championship what it is. He then says that if Finn Balor wants to stand in his way, then it is his mistake.

Lio Rush retains the NXT Cruiserweight Championship against Akira Tozawa.
Backstage, Cathy Kelly interviews Finn Balor. Finn Balor says Tommaso Ciampa is walking around like he is the toughest man in the world, but tonight, Ciampa is in his world, which is a scary place.

It is announced that Aliyah will be out of action indefinitely following last week's match with Xia Li.
Xia Li beats Vanessa Borne after "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir show up. After the match, the three of them go after Xia Li. Xia Li manages to hold her own against all three of them for a time, but the numbers game soon catches up. Baszler then takes the microphone and says that everyone is trying to take credit for what happened weekend and that nobody had a weekend like she did when she beat Becky Lynch and Bayley at the same time. As she brags that she has held the NXT Women's Championship for over a year, Rhea Ripley shows up, but Baszler, Duke and Shafir walk away as Ripley walks out of the ring. Ripley tells Baszler that she came here to say something to her face to face, which causes Baszler to go back to the ring. She congratulates Baszler for winning at Survivor Series, then says she beat her when they went face-to-face and that she will do it again, but next time, it will be for the NXT Women's Championship. Baszler says she has heard this song and dance before, and while Ripley is the nightmare, she is the reality, and that the reality will be "tappin' or nappin' just like the rest of 'em." Ripley then asks Baszler "Then why not do it now?" before telling her that she will drop her when she gets in the ring as Baszler leaves the ring again.
We see backstage footage from NXT TakeOver: War Games where Damian Priest finds out that he has at least one or two cracked ribs.
