(Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson).

Ridge confronts Lexis when Duke Hudson steps in and causes Lexis a pompous airhead, but Lexis tells Hudson that he just pissed him off and leaves.

It's time for Supernova Sessions. Tonight's guest is Trick Williams. After we see a short video package of Trick Williams at WWE headquarters, Trick demands to know what is inside Lash Legend's manila envelope, but Noam Dar says this is his show and that he decides when, then tells Lash to reveal what is in the envelope. We then see a photo of Noam Dar with his foot under the rope when he beat him in their match, and says everything Trick has built has been on a lie. Trick is unimpressed and tells Noam that if he wanted a title match, all he had to do was ask, then says he is not the father, much to the surprise of Lash Legend, who is almost forced to reveal that she has a relationship of some sort with Trick and possibly the mother of his child. When Trick tries top stop Lash from walking out of the ring, Noam lays Trick out with an elbow and holds up the NXT Championship.
