Shawn Spears quickly beats Uriah Connors. (Uriah Connors is Brogan Finley, who is the brother of New Japan Pro Wrestling star David Finlay and the youngest son of Fit Finlay.) After the match, Shawn Spears says it takes a certain man to hold a mirror to the truth, as most will not like what they see, and are forced to be who they are instead of what they want to be. He says that Ridge says he competes in the ring for his family, but he feels he is lying to himself. He says that darkest of thoughts get to everyone, including him, but the difference between them is that he is not ashamed of who he is when he looks in the mirror. He tells Ridge to be a man, then Ridge Holland shows up.

"Channing" Stacks Lorenzo and Luca Crusifino show up, and Stacks says that D'Angelo will see Dragunov at Stand & Deliver. Draguno says he looks forward to the main event.

No Quarter Catch Crew (Drew Gulak, Charlie Dempsey, Damon Kemp, Myles Borne) is in the ring. Drew Gulak says Charlie Dempsey is one of the greatest grapplers in the WWE, and thanks to Dempsey , they have the Heritage Cup. Charlie says this is an honor and that he has held interest in the cup for some time, as it represents competition in line with the pure arts of the sport. He says the cup is not just his alone, then Damon Kemp says it is time for the cup to be honored by the like-minded and that the four of them are champion as a collective. Gulak then mentions that they will be in the upcoming tag team tournament and that No Quarter Catch Crew will be tag team champions. Suddenly, William Regal shows up, leading to "He's your father!" chants, and says the Heritage Cup means a lot, as it represents the best of European wresting, and every time it is contested, it is a tribute to those who came before him and he takes it personally. Regal hopes that they will defend the Heritage cup with the honor and integrity that it depends. Dempsey says he will defend the title better than he ever could, and Regal says he will be watching.



Backstage, Lash Legend and Oro Mensah are concerned for Noam Dar, and when Lash tries to get Noam's attention, Noam smiles and says it is time for bigger and better things.

Backstage, Mr. Stone is watching a video of Lexis King badmouthing him when Von Wagner shows up and tells him that he is not done with Lexis. Mr. Stone says Lexis had made this personal, and asks Wagner to step aside so he can fight him.

Tony D'Angelo beats Carmelo Hayes to face Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Championship at Stand & Deliver. After the match, D'Angelo apologizes for the stunt he pulled, then says he is a giving Don and says he has a present for Carmelo.
