In backstage footage from earlier today, Jordynne Grace meets with General Manager Ava when Cora Jade interrupts, saying she will beat Masha Slamovich to become Total Nonstop Action Knockouts World Champion and make it more important than it has ever been. Jordynne says the day Cora Jade wins the title is the day that she retires, and Ava steps in and makes a match between the two of them.
Backstage, Trick Williams meets with General Manager Ava regarding when Uriah Connors and Kale Dixon shows up with a package with Ava. Trick tells them to come back later and go bother Andre Chase, and Kale Dixon blames Trick Williams for Chase University being on the line in the first place. Trick shoves Dixon into a wall and says he is not playing, and that he will deal with him while Ava makes a decision regarding Eddy Thorpe.
Jaida Parker beats Kelani Jordan.
Backstage, Kelly Kincaid interviews The D'Angelo Family (Tony D'Angelo, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino, Adrianne Rizzo). Tony D'Angelo says that if you have nothing good to say about a woman, say nothing, and while he has a lot to say about Izzi Dame, he goes on to the next question. He knows that Stacks is concerned about his back, and while Shawn Spears is putting his own family together, his family is the only family in NXT.
Oba Femi takes questions from a series of interviewers. Oba Femi says he does not take being champion lightly and says that his clash with Moose is one he cannot afford to lose. He says that Moose is a big man and that Moose can go, but he has fought men of all sizes and he hits first and hard. Oba says he will make Moose wish he never left the NFL. Oba concludes by stating that he will still be the ruler and champion of NXT after Roadblock.
The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) head to the ring. Jeff says the last few weeks have felt surreal and that it feels good to be in NXT, and that it feels "damn good" to be back home in WWE. Matt says he can feel the love to come back home and appear on NXT for the very first time and beat a top-notch team in No Quarter Catch Crew (Tavion Heights and Myles Borne), and while they have been everywhere in the business, the passion in NXT is off the charts. He says that something special is happening in NXT, and Jeff says that the hunger and the passion is infectious. Jeff says he saw the same fire that took them to unimaginable heights in Nathan Frazer and Axiom when Hank Walker and Tank Ledger show up. Tank says they are here to thank The Hardy Boyz for showing what it means to be a tag team, and wants to ask them for advice. Hank says they are missing something that will take them to the next level, and want to know what it is. Matt says that he respects the both of them, but says that sometimes, you have to break the norm to get noticed, and Jeff says sometimes you have to go to the extreme. Jeff says it means getting out of one's comfort zone and stretching one's self past one's limits. Matt says he sees hunger and passion in Hank and Tank, and says that he and Jeff were willing to better themselves to get noticed. Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura show up, and Briggs tells Hank and Tank to remove their lips from The Hardys' asses. Inamura says they see what Hank and Tank are doing. Briggs says The Hardys can give Hank and Tank all the advice that they want, but they will be wasting their breath. He tells Hank and Tank to stop playing the damsel in distress as they will not get a title shot from The Hardy Boyz. Inamura then says it is his and Briggs' time. Hank and Tank dive at Inamura and Briggs, and both teams brawl to the back. Meanwhile, Nathan Frazer and Axiom show up from behind The Hardy Boyz, and Matt Hardy notices. Axiom says they have seven days, and Matt tells Frazer and Axiom to bring their best. Frazer says they will as they put the discussion as to who the best is to bed.
We see a video package for Stephanie Vaquer vs. Giulia for the NXT Women's and NXT Women's North American Championships at Roadblock.
Total Nonstop Action Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich is seen in the crowd.
Jordynne Grace beats Cora Jade by referee stoppage after Cora Jade slips off the bottom rope and bangs her left knee. (It is feared to be a knee injury at first, but it turns out that she hit her head. Nevertheless, she is fine after the match.)
"All Ego" Ethan Page and Je'Von Evans are interviewed in separate rooms. Ethan says WWE is the opportunity of a lifetime for Je'Von, but it took Je'Von's entire lifetime for him to get here. He chalks up snapping on Je'Von and breaking his jaw on jealousy and being too soft. Ethan says he is at his most dangerous and that NXT is silly enough to give him a street fight. Je'Von says he could not talk for three months because of Ethan and that Ethan took everything from him, and next week, Ethan will now longer be able to run, and nobody will hold him down anymore.
Trick Williams beats Kale Dixon via referee stoppage with a Trick Shot as soon as the bell rings. After the match, Trick Williams says Eddy Thorpe's life just flashed before his eyes before calling him out if he wants a piece of him. Eddy Thorpe appears on the balcony and says Trick is struggling with no longer being the man in NXT, yet walks around like he is. Thorpe says he should be the man in NXT, and while he beat him at Vengeance Day, he has to beat it into him and the fans and make it definitive. Thorpe then challenges Trick to an NXT Underground Match in two weeks, which Trick accepts.
Backstage, Roxanne Perez is stopped from attacking Jordynne Grace with a metal folding chair by referees, who then keep Roxanne away from Jordynne as they check on her.
Moose takes questions from a series of interviewers. He says he is a prizefighter who fights for the biggest prize in the game, and when Total Nonstop Action teamed up with NXT, he waited for the right moment to cross the line and face Oba Femi. He says there is no bigger fight and admits that Oba Femi has been "one hell of a champion in NXT" and will be a big player and ruler of NXT, but he will not be NXT Champion after he leaves Roadblock with two titles. General Manager Ava takes the podium after Moose leaves, then announes that Roxanne Perez will face Jordynne Grace at Roadblock. Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) then shows up, with Fallon wanting to know where her Women's North American Championship rematch is. Ava says she will not talk about it here and walks away.
Backstage, Ricky Saints meets Ridge Holland, who says that Ricky should not be here. Ricky tells Ridge to get used to seeing a whole lot of him, then runs into Shawn Spears. Spears says the revolution will be televised when he becomes North American Champion.
Shawn Spears beats Tony D'Angelo to become the NXT North American Champion following a brawl between D'Angelo's and Spears' family when Izzi Dame grabs Shawn Spears' foot during a pinfall attempt by D'Angelo after hitting Fuggedaboutit, which leads to Spears shoving Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo into D'Angelo and hurting his back, which in turn causes D'Angelo's back to give out during a spinebuster attempt, which causes Spears to be on top of him for the pin and the win.
