Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Cameron Grimes, who is still weirded out after last week's match but is focused on his match with KUSHIDA tonight. When a referee tells Grimes his match is up next, Grimes runs away, thinking the referee is a zombie.
Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Shotzi Blackheart, who says that she has been allowed to pick her own opponent after hosting last week's show, and says that tonight's match is a huge test against her hand-picked opponent, Toni Storm.
KUSHIDA beats Cameron Grimes with the Hoverboard Lock. During the match, the referee is down after Grimes runs KUSHIDA into him. Another referee shows up, but it is the referee from Grimes' interview from earlier, whom Grimes thinks is a zombie. KUSHIDA then locks the Hoverboard Lock on a scared Grimes, who taps out.
We hear from Toni Storm, who says that while she respects Shotzi Blackheart, she picked the wrong woman to have a match with as she is a new Toni Storm who will use Shotzi as a stepping stone to the top of the women's division.
We hear from Io Shirai, who says that she wants to face Rhea Ripley one more time with the NXT Women's Championship on the line.
Drake Maverick and Killian Dain vs. Ever-Rise (Chase Parker and Matt Martel) ends in a no-contest. During the match, Pat McAfee, Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch and Pete Dunne show up and attack all four men while Pat McAfee mans the television camera that catches them pulling up outside.
Pat McAfee, Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch and Pete Dunne Pat McAfee, Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch and Pete Dunne are still in the ring after the commercial break. McAfee says they are the best group in NXT, then says they are men of class and the new kings of NXT. He says that as the new kings, he says it is only proper to pay tribute to The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) and their accomplishments in NXT. As Pat McAfee mocks the history of The Undisputed Era, Pete Dunne says Roderick Strong taught him he had to trust the right people in this business and that he finally returned the favor last week. McAfee then says The Undisputed Era got more greedy and that NXT changed their business philosophy to prop them up, while people like Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch were held back. Burch says that people told him and Lorcan they would never make it, but they are now tag team champions. Pat McAfee then says that The Undisputed Era did whatever they wanted, and that it took a run-in with him for it to all to start crashing down. McAfee says that he and his group have hated The Undisputed Era for various reasons, and that putting Adam Cole was the greatest thing he has ever done. He then says it is time to put their banner up in the air so they are never head from again. McAfee then asks Lorcan, Burch and Dunne if they should put the banner up, and after a democratic vote between the four of them, they agree to throw the banner in a trash can "like Vic Joseph's face." After the banner is placed in a trash can, Dunne pours lighter fluid on it, then lights up a lighter and throws it on the banner, lighting it on fire. Pat McAfee mocks the fans, then everyone leaves. As they get in their car, however, Killian Dain and Drake Maverick attack them, but they are quickly laid out, and Pete Dunne kicks a car door into Killian Dain's head. The four of them then drive off, and there is a pool of blood emanating from Killain Dain's mouth.
We hear from Johnny Gargano, who says that he likes wheels and making history, despite recent rumors to the contrary regarding wheels. Suddenly, he gets a phone call from the cloaked figure, who says they are in the house. The cloaked figure is then revealed to be sitting next to Johnny. Johnny Gargano then says that he defends his title next week and ends his title defense curse, then wins The Game of Life against the black cloaked figure.
Toni Storm beats Shotzi Blackheart after Candice LeRae shows up on the TitanTron in the middle of a road with Shotzi's tank, saying she will watch over it for her. It is announced that Killian Dain is heading to a hospital following the attack on him from earlier tonight. After the match, Candace - still on the TitanTron - stops a Hummer, then gets in the driver's seat and runs the tank over as a lesson to those who stick their nose into her and Johnny Gargano's business. The hooded black figure sits in the back seat. After Candace LeRae says she and Shotzi Blackheart are even after Shotzi cost her the NXT Women's Championship, Shotzi is distraught, and Toni Storm tries to console Shotzi.
In footage from earlier today, Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) is confronted by Jake Atlas, who strikes Raul Mendoza with a pipe before driving off.
It's time for another live edition of Thatch As Thatch Can. Timothy Thatcher's next lesson is reversals. He says that anybody can catch a hold and that you have to ready at all times when you step in the ring. Timothy Thatcher then demonstrates a front guillotine choke with his student Akeem, then has Akeem do one so he moves to the side as he goes down and applies pressure with his forearm to forcefuly break the hold and go for a Kimura Lock. As Akeem taps, he locks it in even more, and Akeem almost gets angry with him. Thatcher then shows what to do during an escape attempt from the opponent, which leads to an ankle lock. Suddenly, Thatcher is attacked from behind by "Retro" Anthony Green, now known as August Grey.
Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Xia Li, who says that the letters she has gotten are personal letters from family and that she must turn things around. Suddenly, she gets another one from General Manager William Regal. After reading the letter, Xia Li demands a match with Raquel Gonzalez - who has dishonored her - next week. Regal says he will take care of that.
We hear from Rhea Ripley, who has wanted to challenge Io Shirai since June after this year has been "trash." She says that Io Shirai is terrified of losing her championship, and says that she will enter 2021 as NXT Women's Champion.
