When Adonis confronts Karmen for meeting with Lennox, Lennox proposes that the four of them face each other in a mixed tag match.

General Manager Ava speaks with multiple tag teams in a conference room to see who wants to step up and become the #1 contenders for the tag team titles, and this leads to all the tag teams arguing with each other. At the beginning of the meeting, Josh Briggs is shown as being in the room before he quickly walks out.

Trick Williams heads to the ring. He addresses winning last year's men's Iron Survivor Challenge and his tag team match last week with Bubby Ray Dudley before calling Ridge Holland out for what he did to him. Andre Chase shows up and says that he still has beef with Ridge, and Trick mentions how Chase always lands on his feet with every setback and recognizes him for the hard work he has done in NXT. Trick then mentions that Chase has done almost everything except win the NXT Championship, and as he proposes an NXT Championship match between the two of them, Ridge shows up and objects to this. Ridge tells Chase that he has moved on and tells Trick that he made the 2300 Arena fall silent when he pinned him, and Chase says he wants one more match with Ridge after everything he has put his university through. Ridge refuses even after Chase puts his university on the line, saying he only cares about the NXT Championship, and Trick proposes a match between Chase and Ridge where the winner faces him at Deadline, and admits that he is pulling for Chase. After Trick mentions that Chase and Chase University have a connection with the fans, Ridge says he will take that, and says that if he wins, Chase University will be done as he walks into Deadline with a title shot while Chase has nothing. Ridge says that this is a big gamble for a man who has never won the big one, and when he asks Chase what he will do, Chase says "You're on," then says Ridge will get a Chase University-style ass whipping. Ridge punches Chase, Trick hits Ridge with an Uranage, then Chase and Trick hit Ridge with the Chase U stomps.

He says he will not let anything break them up and that he has to make this gamble, but Thea, Duke and Riley are concerned.

We see a vignette for Zaria, courtesy of Progressive. Zaria says she is here in NXT to rip and tear, and she wants to take part in the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge and leave no mystery as to who she is.

Je'Von Evans beats Lexis King in a men's Iron Survivor qualifier.



Backstage, Nathan Frazer and Axiom talk about the state of the tag team division, and Frazer mentions that he has gotten a men's Iron Survivor qualifier and needs some tips from Axiom, who is frustrated after hearing this. After Frazer leaves, OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price) confronts Axiom over Frazer going for singles gold, and The D'Angelo Family (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Luca Crusifino) confronts OTM. Referees have to step in.

THE NXT LVL - NXT LVL UP recap for August 16, 2024

Mark Coffey beats Cutler James.

We see Adriana Rizzo and Layla Diggs in an Instagram video where Adriana teaches Layla confidence. Izzi Dame shows up and says the only thing Adriana will teach Layla is how to hide a body, and this leads to Layla stopping things before they get physical and then lifting Adriana up as she challenges Izzi to a match on NXT LVL UP.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Cutler James, who gives Mark Coffey credit yet says that it does not make the loss any harder to take. He says he fought his hardest and fell short again, and he can either sit here and sulk in defeat or he can learn from this experience. He says this game is all about mindset and that he does not lose; he learns and keeps moving forward, which is what he plans to do.

Adrianna Rizzo beats Izzi Dame.

Meta-Four (Noam Dar and Oro Mensah) beat Mr. Stone and Von Wagner after Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson distract the ref, allowing Oro Mensah to hit Von Wagner with a chop block as Von Wagner goes for a powerbomb on Noam Dar to give Noam Dar the pin and the win.



At Chase University, everything is back to normal. Andre Chase apologizes for the delay in the start of the spring semester, but thanks to Jacy Jayne, they have made some it through some dark clouds. Adriana Rizzo shows up. Jacy Jayne hands her more money than Adriana was expecting, and Jacy tells Adrianna to see if Chase U can get a tag team title shot if The D'Angelo Family (Tony D'Angelo and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo) can retain. Adrianna says she will see what she can do.

Ridge Holland beats Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) in a Gallus Gauntlet Match by disqualification after Joe Coffey pulls Ridge Holland out of the ring as he is about to pin Mark Coffey. After the match, Mark Coffey and Wolfgang hold down Ridge Holland so that Joe Coffey can hit Ridge with a chair, but Ridge boots it out of his hands, breaks free, and tees off on all three members of Gallus with a chair. Ridge cannot believe what he has done afterwards.



Backstage, Mr. Stone and Von Wagner are met by Lexis King. When Lexis King says Von Wagner must be tired of losing, Mr. Stone and Von Wagner get agitated, then King says Mr. Stone's kids must be looking forward to seeing a real model like him. Mr. Stone is angry, and Von Wagner tells him Lexis King is not worth it.

Backstage, No Quarter Catch Crew (Drew Gulak, Charlie Dempsey, Damon Kemp, Myles Borne) admire the NXT Heritage Cup and what it represents when Noam Dar and Oro Mensah show up to make fun of them. The Crew make it clear they plan on winning the cup and representing it correctly.

Lola Vice beats Tatum Paxley by submission as Lyra Valkyria cheers Tatum on at ringside. After the match, Lyra has to carry Tatum to the back.



Backstage, Luca Crusifino wishes Tony D'Angelo luck in his match tonight, then Adriana Rizzo shows up as Crusifino leaves and says she is ready for Jaida Parker. D'Angelo tells Stacks that they are cracking skulls and asking questions later in their match tonight.

Backstage, Shotzi shows up as Lyra Valkyrie places Tatum Paxley on a road crate. Shotzi says they can keep going at it on social media, or they can do it in the ring. Lyra Valkyria gives her a title shot, much to the delight of Shotzi, who says that she has met with General Manager Ava and that all Ava needed was the green light from Lyra. Lyra says she will see Shotzi next week and that she will enter Elimination Chamber empty handed. After Shotzi leaves, Tatum wakes up and reveals she was awake the whole time when she mentions Shotzi.



Jaida Parker beats Adriana Rizzo.



Dijak watches footage of Joe Gacy interfering in his most recent match, and is tormented by Gacy's laugh. He then looks inside of a bag before leaving and taking the bag with him.

Backstage, Baron Corbin meets with Bron Breakker concerning their tag team title match. As Breakker thinks about the money he will get when he performs on the main roster, Corbin says he has not had a title in six years. As for their "Wolf Dogs" nickname, he will say it once if they win the NXT tag team titles.

Carmelo Hayes beats Joe Gacy. After the match, Dijak shows up out of nowhere and attacks Joe Gacy with a nightstick, then pulls a straitjacket out of his bag and puts in on Joe Gacy as referees tell him to stop. Dijak then clocks Gacy in the face with a Cyclone Kick. This leads to a "Fee Joe Gacy" chant.



Backstage, Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson show up as Kelani Jordan and Karmen Petrovic talk with Brinley Reece before Brinley's match. Lash says Kelani will be waiting a long time before she is champion, and that leads to Kelani mockingly asking Lash what Noam Dar sees in her. This leads to Lash and Jakara acting like Kelani, Karmen and Brinley are beneath them.

In the women's locker room, Roxanne Perez gets irritated with Lola Vice costing her a one-on-one title match and Shotzi getting one out of nowhere. When Wren Sinclair proposes that Roxanne face the winner, an angry Roxanne slaps her in the face.

We see another message: "Goodness is a man's struggle. Evil, however, is human nature."

Oba Femi heads to the ring. Oba says it takes more than a fighting spirit to take the North American title from him, and while a title brings prestige, it brings his supremacy. He says Dragon Lee was the first casualty, but not the last, and while anyone can send anyone else for the title, they had better not send anyone they want back. Lexis King shows up and congratulates Oba Femi for all his success, then admits it is a little funny that Oba Femi calls himself the ruler of NXT when he is the king and he placed the title on his shoulder after he softened Dragon Lee up for him. After Lexis King says that he plans to take the title off him, Oba Femi says he does not deal in empty threats. King says this is a promise, not a threat, and that a king always keeps his promises. Oba Femi tells him he will get his title opportunity, but promises King that his throne is not one he will sit on any time soon. Lexis King punches Oba Femi in the face, but Oba Femi blocks him from hitting the Coronation, and Lexis King retreats.

Backstage, Edris Enofe and Malik Blade talk about Brinley Reece's match. Malik feels bad for Brinley, but Edris says she will know how they feel. Malik says she was there for them, and they should be there for her. Brinley shows up more motivated than easier. Malik says Brinley practices what she preaches.

Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin beat The D'Angelo Family (Tony D'Angelo and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo) to become the NXT Tag Team Champions!
