The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) head to the ring. Woods mentions that Kofi Kingston is now a Triple Crown Winners as a singles and tag team competitor, and that he has the most reigns in WWE history at fifteen.

Duke Hudson shows up and asks them what makes them thing their oversized egos will not ruin everything, but Price tells Hudson that the way he is talking means he wants his face beaten in, and challenges him to a tag team match.

Backstage, Roderick Strong is met by The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed). Julius says that their match against The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) is tainted because of Roderick when the match was supposed to be a challenge, as Roderick inserted himself into the match when it came time to dig deep, and Brutus says it is not about the win, but about how they won. He says that there will be no excuse and no interference, and next week, they will face The Viking Raiders again and they will beat them the right way. Roderick Strong says that he believes in them and that he is going to bring in someone who will help them get to the NXT Tag Team Championships: the newest member of Diamond Mine, Damon Kemp. Julius says new members are a group decision, but Roderick Strong says that is not the case anymore.
Joe Gacy heads to the ring with two men in red cloaks. Gacy says that as he left Bron Breakker in the wilderness last week, he told him that he must face the next chapter of his journey all alone. He says his personal journey in NXT started months ago and he opened the doors of inclusivity to everyone, no matter who they are, as they could be a part of real change. He then says two men seperated themselves from the pack and proved their worth to him and themselves while going above and beyond to commit to his cause by taking that extra step, and the rest are no more. Gacy says his cause and message have been received, and that these are the faces of change. He says their expansion has begun and that change takes place one person at a time, then appeals to Bron Breakker and tells him to consider this his personal invitation, saying he does not have to do this alone and that he can join them and become part of their movement and this change, as the result is eternal joy. Gacy then says hardship and affliction awaits those who resist.
Backstage, Andre Chase and Bodhi Hayward get ready for tonight.

He says AJ Galante should not have been at the meeting, as he made himself fair game and could not survive in Legado's streets.

Solo Sikoa heads to the ring. He says this is supposed to be Carmelo Hayes' and Trick Williams' time, because it is his time now.

He says he respects Solo Sikoa just like the crowd does and he understands that he wants another chance at the North American Championship, but it will be him and Carmelo Hayes one-on-one at In Your House.
