Dempsey and company leave, then Lola Vice shows up and wishes Sinclair luck before telling Kendal that nothing will stop her from winning the NXT Women's Championship at Stand & Deliver.
Ricky Saints heads to the ring. Saints says that nothing can dampen his spirits because he is the real main event and things are looking up, and after a small setback, he and "All Ego" Ethan Page are pivoting back into title competition. He says that he and Ethan beat Myles Borne and Joe Hendry because they are a great tag team, then says that if it were not for The Vanity Project, they would be in the tag team tournament; thankfully, they only want singles gold and the tag division is safe. Saints claims that he will soon take his place as a two-time NXT Champion when "All Ego" Ethan Page shows up and reminds Saints that he pinned Joe Hendry. Saints lets Ethan call out Borne, but Ethan wants to be a two-time NXT Champion, not North American. As Saints says this was not part of the plan, Joe Hendry shows up, and while he gives Ethan credit where credit is due, he says that Saints does not want it as badly as Ethan. He then says that they only thing both of them will get is medical attention if they think they can step up to him, and admits that Saints has none of the musical talent that he does. Ethan and Saints soon argue with each other, then attack Hendry at the same time only for Hendry to bounce back with a double clothesline and two Fallaway Slams. All of a sudden, Hendry is hit out of nowhere with a Spear by Tony D'Angelo, who soon lays out both Ethan and Saints right after that.

Vic Joseph is in the ring to introduce Booker T for Booker T Appreciation Night. Booker T leaves the commentary table to head to the ring. We see a video package where Booker T's peers as well as current and former NXT Superstars mention their memories of Booker T before Booker T is presented with a plaque commemorating Booker T Appreciation Night. Booker T says he has been doing this for 35 years and that it has been an amazing ride. He thanks the fans for making this possible, then Keanu Carver shows up, attacks security guards, and threatens to beat Booker T up if he does not leave the ring. Two of Booker T's students are in the ring, and Carver makes quick work of them before Jasper Troy shows up and fights Carver. Jasper clotheslines Carver out of the ring, adn Carver is forced back to the back. The locker room empties out and gives Booker T a standing ovation, and Booker T wants to know what is going on, saying this should not be happening in his city.
