It's time for Supernova Sessions. Tonight's guests are Lyra Valkyria and Roxanne Perez. Roxanne is introduced first, followed by Lyra. Lyra's arm is not in a sling as she heads to the ring. Roxanne says that on Saturday, she will get back the title that she never lost, and Lyra says Roxanne is not champion because Indi Hartwell climbed a ladder faster than her. She says that Roxanne blames everyone but herself for her failure and calls Roxanne hypocritical for being okay with suddenly winning a title only to be angry when Lola tries to do it. Roxanne tells Lyra not to talk about her like she knows her, then says she will knock her off her high horse and all the way down and see how her moral compass is then. She says she is a whole new person, and now she has it in her to snap her arm. She says that losing the NXT Women's Championship did not make her snap; instead, it made her more dangerous. Lyra tells Roxanne to save the excuses and that she is in for a fight Saturday, and tells her that while she wins, all Roxanne does is bitch. She then says Roxanne will have a lot more to bitch about after Stand & Deliver. Roxanne stands up and says Lyra wants to be seen as "the perfect champion," then says there is no perfect champion and that she has a whole year of rage pent out to let out on Saturday. Roxanne slaps Lyra, and Lyra fires back by putting Roxanne through a table with a Death Valley Driver.

Back at the warehouse, Tony D'Angelo thanks Ilja Dragunov for coming and tells him he has taken care of the wheel clamp. Dragunov admits he is impressed with D'Angelo's mind games, but also knows what the warehouse represents. D'Angelo says the warehouse represents the end of Dragunov's title reign, and Dragunov says that while people have claimed they will beat him, nobody has done it. D'Angelo says he is not just anybody, but Dragunov reminds D'Angelo that he himself has called him unbreakable and that he will leave NXT Champion. D'Angelo grabs Dragunov's hand and says he could have taken him out any time he wanted to and could do so right now, but he will wait until the fans watch on Saturday when he breaks the unbreakable and leaves as NXT Champion.

Carmelo Hayes heads to the ring with his security detail. Trick Williams soon shows up and joins him, and says they should both be happy that they are main eventing the biggest show of the year, then says it should not have been this way due to the bond they had. He says that as happy as he is, he is going to war with someone he used to call his brother. Carmelo says Trick came a long way, and Trick says that he was nervous and did not know if he belonged in the business, but he looked to his side and saw Carmelo with him. Carmelo says it was once them against the world, but now they are facing each other with the whole world watching and that the whole world will watch like when Trick ruined everything. Trick says Carmelo ruined everything, but Carmelo says he did "when the hero tells the story." He also says that Trick tried to go around his back to become NXT Champion as he tried to get the North American Championship back. He says that Trick went from being his brother to his enemy, but Trick says they both knew he was blowing up and he had to take a chance on himself, with Carmelo being happy with this. Carmelo says he paved a way for Trick, but Trick wanted to believe the hype and think he was ready for a position that was not open for him, as that position was and still is his and Trick will always take a back seat to him. Trick says his days of taking a back seat are long gone, and Carmelo says Trick used to be so humble before stating Trick was hot for six months while he was hot for three years. He tells Trick the fans will love him when he is on the rise, but soon the fans will "Switch on him like Nintendo," but Trick chalks everything up to jealousy that is written all over Carmelo's face. Carmelo says he does not care what the fans think of him and that only he will be in the ring with him when he learns the hard why he has been on top for so long. Trick says Carmelo already learned the hard way, and that he will be the one to knock him off the hill. Carmelo and Trick brawl, and security fails to hold them both back. The locker room rushes the ring to stop the brawl as the show ends.
Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!
