We see a post-show promo from Johnny Gargano after NXT WarGames, where Gargano thanks the fans for their support over the years before telling them to stay tuned on Tuesday night to see what is next for him.
We hear from Joe Gacy, who says that the outcome of his match from Sunday is not as important as his and Harland's bigger vision, saying they broken down division and barriers. He says that he plans to change the name of a certain show that further creates this division, then says that Harland has dealt with barriers due to people taking into account the size of his body but not the size of his heart. Gacy says it is only a matter of time before accept Harland.
Bron Breakker heads to the ring. He says that on Sunday, two teams went to war, and admits that while Team Black and Gold is tough and nails and helped build the foundation for NXT, and that he has respect for the old guard. Bron Breakker than says that he and Tommaso Ciampa are even following WarGames, then challenges Ciampa to one more match. Suddenly, Diamond Mine shows up. Malcolm Bivens congratulates Bron Breakker on his win on Sunday, calling him "the real deal," then says he was not the only one successful person on Sunday, as he has wiped the cruiserweight division clean and is now facing the best. Bron Breakker tells Bivens to get to the point before he throws him into the fifth row, and Biven says that Roderick Strong built the blueprint before saying that Strong is the champion on NXT and has his sights set on Bron Breakker. Bivens says that when Roderick Strong returns next week, he will put an end to Bron Breakker, and asks if he accepts his challenge. Breakker says he does not care who he has to go through to get back to Ciampa, and tells Bivens he will see him next week.
Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) guest on commentary for the next match.
Josh Brooks and Briggs Jensen get an upset win The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) after Briggs scores a surprise roll-up win despite Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) stealing Brooks and Jensen's tag rope.

Backstage, we hear from Xyon Quinn, who says that he hopes Elektra Lopez is watching after Santos Escobar's comments about reality hitting him in the face.
Duke Hudson heads to the ring with a platinum blog wigs. He says that one should not believe everything one reads on the Internet and that Cameron Grimes did not shave his head at WarGames. He says that he fixed his hair and put some color in it to make it good as new as the crowd chants that he looks good, then calls Grimes a disappoint to the fans, his friends and his family. Suddenly, Cameron Grimes shows up while Duke Hudson puts on some headgear. Grimes says he knew Hudson would do this, but he did not expect the lengths that Hudson would go to after he shaved him bald following what Hudson did to him. When Grimes says Hudson cannot handle losing, Hudson calls him scum and a loser, but Grimes says that where he comes from, things are handled differently, and he challenges Hudson to a no-holds-barred match. Hudson accepts the challenge, then goes for a cheap shot only for Grimes to fire back. Hudson tries to retreat, and Grimes nearly rips Hudson's wig off.
Backstage, Jacket Time (KUSHIDA and Ikemen Jiro) celebrate Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen's win when Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) show up saying they won because of him. Kacy Catanzara and Kayden Carter show up with concert tickets, and Briggs and Jensen follow them. As Grizzled Young Veterans complain about being ignored, Jacket Time tell them to be quiet, and this starts a brawl between the two teams. As this goes on, a woman with an eye mask and a pillow in her hands is watching from behind.

MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) finally meet their shaman. The shaman is Matt Riddle, who says that he has been waiting for them to knock on his door for weeks. The three of them then meditate in front of candles. Nash Carter and Wes Lee talk about their impressive debut and NXT tag team title reign, but Nash Carter fears they have peaked. Riddle says it is a long and hard journey and that it is not easy, but the view from the mountain is a chef's kiss. Wes Lee says Imperium has their number, and Nash Carter says they may be goofing around too much. Riddle says that MSK needs to be MSK all day and that they will climb the mountain again, and this time, he will be there with them. Riddle then gets to see what is in MSK's bag.
We hear from Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne). Mandy Rose says that Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin have real business to attend to unlike the rest of the women's division as she tells Vic Joseph to shut up.
Backstage, Persia Pirotta and Indi Hartwell talk about Dexter Lumis, then Persia says it is time to get back on track and that she needs Indi at one hundred percent. Indi says she is focused both on the team and on family. Dexter Lumis shows up, as does Johnny Gargano.
Toxic Attracion (Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne) beat Valentina Feroz and Yulisa Leon. After the match, Mandy Rose says this is how it is done as Toxic Attraction (Mandy, Gigi, Jacy) still stand as "the baddest bitches on the planet." Mandy says everyone wants a shot at them and talks about them, because it is expected from being as good as they are. Mandy says that they are not running from anyone, and dares anyone who wants a piece of them to bring it on, as they will be waiting. Suddenly, Cora Jade shows up. Cora has her left arm in a sling as she tells Mandy Rose that she beat her two weeks ago before moving on to win WarGames, then offers to handle things face-to-face. Mandy says no, and as she dares Cora to get in the ring, Raquel Gonzalez shows up with a chair. Toxic Attraction get out of the ring as Raquel Gonzalez gets in.
We hear from Tiffany Stratton, who says that she is a natural-born athlete as she dominated gymnastics and became part of Team USA in the Olympics. She says that her dad agreed that she is a solo star and not part of a team, and that the women's title is better than any gold medal.
Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Tony D'Angelo, who says that he has proved that he is not someone to cross, especially to Pete Dunne, whose mouthguard he stole at NXT WarGames. Andre Chase shows up and congratulates him on winning Sunday, then says he would be a real star if he took his advice. Tony D'Angelo says he has some collections to make, then challenges Andrew Chase to a match next week.
Backstage, Cora Jade thanks Raquel Gonzalez. Both of them talk about getting a potential shot at Mandy Rose, then Kay Lee Ray shows up and hands Cora Jade her bat, saying she will need it more than her. When Cora asks Kay Lee Ray what she is going to use, Kay Lee Ray says "Don't worry; I have plenty."
Santos Escobar beats Xyon Quinn. During the match, Elektra Lopez puts a brass knuckle on Quinn's right hand. Quinn takes the knuckle and throws it to Joaquin Wilde before knocking him off the apron, then Escobar hits Quinn with a jumping knee folowed by the Phantom Driver for the win.

We hear from Boa, who tells Edris Enofe he does not understand the fire he has ignited and that he will take him out of NXT as quickly as he entered it next week.
Johnny Gargano heads to the ring to address his future. He says that he regrets not enjoying NXT more in the last six years because he was always worried if he was good enough and if he was giving the fans his best, and says that he hopes he did after what the fans gave him. He was told that he would never be in NXT, but it was due to the fans that he was brought back week after week despite not being on a contract and was eventually signed. Gargano says he cannot thanks the fans enough for helping him live his dreams, especially when he is still the shy, chubby eight-year-old wrestling fan with issues of self-doubt who never felt more special than when he was in the ring. He says that he has been in NXT for so long because he loves it and believes in it, and while his family might be in Cleveland, Ohio, he has a family backstage and in the Performance Center. Gargano then says that change may be scary, but sometimes it needs to happen, and if there is one message he wants to leave the fans, it is that "you will never fail if you bet on yourself." He says that he does not know what the future hold and he will do some things here and there, but in February, he will become a father. Suddenly, he is hit in the back with a chair by Grayson Waller. He says that he does not know what the future hold and he will do some things here and there, but in February, he will become a father. Suddenly, he is hit in the back with a chair by Grayson Waller. Waller then looks into the camera and says that this is his house, not Gargano's, as the crowd chants "piece of shit" before the show fades to black.
