We get a closer look at Sarray and Zayda Ramier, who will both face each other later tonight.
Karrion Kross and Scarlett head to the ring. Kross talks about how he made things crystal clear three weeks ago only to be met by people who said they were not afraid of him. He says he is not afraid of them, either, and decides to give the fans a fight. He says that as NXT Champion, he does not have to prove anybody wrong, and that his challengers have to get in the ring and prove themselves right. He then says he will divebomb Austin Theory on his head and leave him face down next week, then Kyle O'Reilly shows up. Kyle O'Reilly says Karrion Kross thinks everyone should be afraid of him due to sheer dominance, then says he is not afraid of him and that this is the match that he wants and that Kross wants, too. Suddenly, Pete Dunne shows up. Pete Dunne says he does not care about the match, the new Kyle O'Reilly or Karrion Kross as NXT Champion, for he is the baddest man in NXT. He dares the two of them to prove him wrong, then Finn Balor shows up. Finn says he has been there and done that with O'Reilly and Dunne, then punches Kross only to get punched himself. Dunne then goes for a cheap shot only to get tossed out fo the ring, then everyone goes after Kross until security shows up. Kross ends up being the last one in the ring, and a member of security eats a Doomsday Saito. As Kross stands in the ring, Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory try to ambush him and eventually succeed, with Gargano dropping Kross with the North American title.

Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) is in the ring. Santos Escobar says that the fans saw his road to the top, and that last week, the fans saw a premonition of his recovering what is rightfully his: the NXT Cruiserweight Championship. Joaquin Wilde says they have not forgotten about MSK, saying that they beat and embarrassed MSK, and Raul Mendoza says that they want MSK for the NXT Tag Team Championships. Escobar says the measure of a man is not what he can do for himself, but what he can do for his brothers. Suddenly, KUSHIDA shows up on the video screen and tells Escobar he made a big mistake last week, and next week, they will face off for the Cruiserweight title. Escobar tells KUSHIDA he is on.
Raquel Gonzalez and Mercedes Martinez are interviewed in separate rooms. Mercedes says she is hungry and has something to prove next week, and that Raquel does not intimidate her. Raquel says that Mercedes is going to get her ass kicked, but Mercedes says Raquel is champion because of a wrestle like her and what she has had to go through, going so far as to call her "cookie-cutter." She says that Raquel was molded after the blueprint that she created, but Raquel says that the blueprint was low and that she picked it back up and surpassed her accomplishments in a year. Mercedes says that she will end her championship reign in one night, but Raquel tells her she will be the first challenger but not the last.
