Trick shows up and says he knows Dragunov is not backing down and neither will he, then says he wants to talk first. Dragunov says Trick is brave for making demands and tells him not to take one step further, but Trick says that when they last fought, it was bad for the both of them and that Dragunov proved he was "The Mad Dragon." After Trick says that he has a proposition for him, Dragunov blames Trick for him not having the NXT Championship, but Trick reminds Dragunov that he said that "collateral damage happens in the middle of a fight" and that Dragunov ran into the NXT title and that he did not hit him.Trick then proposes that they both have a match in which it can be known that he can back up his words and prove that he is no sidekick and instead one of the best, and Dragunov asks Trick if he knows what he is asking for, as his eyes burn red when anger and wrath consumes him.Dragunov says that this time, there is nothing that will hold him back, and he will break him.

When Andre Chase and Duke Hudson shows up, Thea tells Chase that unlike him, Rey would not throw in the towel.



Bron Breakker beats Von Wagner. After the match, Bron Breakker grabs Mr. Stone and threatens to press slam him, but Von Wagner hits Breakker with a big boot followed by a powerbomb through the announce table.



We hear from Eddy Thorpe, who says that he likes to isolate himself with nature as he can hear his own thoughts. Eddy says he is furious after being decimated twice by Dijak, and says it is his fault that he lost. He says he must take responsibilty, re-focus and re-adjust, and he must forward without fear in order to beat Dijak.

Noam reluctantly does this, then Nathan gives him a shot at the real cup as promised.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Tiffany Stratton. Tiffany says she has a lot on her mind right now, having splurged on a shopping spree for herself and not knowing what to wear before deciding to stick to pink.

After the match, Rey Mysterio confronts Rhea and Dominik, then Lyra confronts Rhea from behind. This leads to a brawl in which Rey and Lyra quickly come out on top.
