Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Pete Dunne, who says Tony D'Angelo talks away too much and that he has stopped talking after being beaten by Cameron Grimes. He then says he will finish their business in a steel cage next week. Draco Anthony shows up and says that while D'Angelo may not respect him, he does, and says it is an honor to share the ring with him tonight.

Pete Dunne beats Draco Anthony. During the match, Joe Gacy and Harland are seen on the balcony, which briefly distracts Draco. Later on, Tony D'Angelo shows up to hit Dunne with a crowbar, but Dunne sees it coming a mile away, dodges the crowbar and lays him out. After the match, Tony D'Angelo tries to choke out Pete Dunne on the ring apron, but Dunne snaps his fingers and pulls out some weapons from underneath the ring.

D'Angelo accepts the proposition.

Wade Barrett moderates a championship summit between Santos Escobar - who is already in the ring with Legado del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza, Elektra Lopez) - and Bron Breakker, who is introduced to the ring by Barrett. Breakker says that he respects Escobar, but at Vengeance Day, he will beat Escobar and there is not a thing he can do about it. He also proposes they flip the table and start fighting like with all contract signings, but Escobar says he would not expect a different answer from someone so new, so young and so naive, for he is pulling all the strings. Escobar says that he also plans to end Breakker's career and future before they even start, then Dolph Ziggler suddenly shows up. Ziggler sits down at the table and says he is a big fan of Breakker before saying he works Tuesdays and asking Breakker who he is. Breakker says he is the reason Ziggler is here and that he will take care of him after Escobar. Ziggler says Breakker is making a big mistake looking past Escobar to him before mentioning his accolades and stating that the NXT Championship is not among them. He says that he does not have to be better or stronger than Breakker - which he is - and that all he has to do is be in Breakker's head when Tommaso Ciampa shows up. Ciampa says Ziggler as NXT Champion is a hard pass for him and tells Ziggler that while he loves his spirit, then Escobar wants to know what is going on before calling Breakker and Ciampa "frenemies" and saying Ziggler is only here over a mean tweet. Escobar threatens to deal with both Breakker and Ciampa, but Ciampa threatens to beat him up if he interrupts him again and get next in line for the NXT Championship unless Ziggler has a problem with it. Ziggler says the fans clap their hands like seals no matter what Ciampa does and that Ciampa acts like NXT is his home before asking it will end. Ciampa boots Ziggler in the head and brawls with him on the outside. Back in the ring, Legado del Fantasma attack Bron Brakker, but Breakker fights back. Breakker nearly puts Escobar through the table, but Mendoza and Wilde put Breakker through it instead. Escobar then tells Breakker that everything happens on his time and that this is him time, then tells him he will see him next week.
