Grayson Waller calls Roxanne "Booker T's favorite wrestler" says Roxanne was #1 because she had to win before bedtime and that he was partying after his match, then admits that they had the biggest wins of their career and that Roxanne has peaked at 21 and will never beat Mandy Rose. Bron Breakker shows up and stands up for Roxanne and defends her talent, and that nobody gives a damn what Grasyon Waller thinks because Roxanne Perez is the future NXT Women's Champion. Grayson Waller asks Bron how his jaw is feeling before bragging about his two falls and becoming the next NXT Champion. When Waller says he is about making moments, Bron says they can make a moment right now and chases Waller out of the arena. Suddenly, Roxanne is attacked from behind by Mandy Rose, who tells Roxanne that she will never be champion.



In footage from earlier today, JD McDonagh learns he is cleared in the trainer's room when he notices The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) show up. After Julius Creed talks about his status and Brutus Creed tells McDonagh he will hurt him, McDonagh says he is glad he never had to wrap his hand around a brotherly relationship.

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. Kofi says that as special as the moment is for him, it is an even special moment for Woods, who was in NXT when it started ten years ago and was in the first NXT match ever against Big E.

Dragunov talks about how he conquered an unbeatable machine to become champion and how he walked into the arena and struggled and succeeded like a gladiator, and says that he became "the Tsar" because pain has always been his best friend. He says he has returned to repeat history and destiny to become champion one more time, but instead of Gunther, he is facing Bron Breakker. Suddenly, JD McDonagh shows up. McDonagh says the people do not know Dragunov like he does and calls him "a dirty little rat" who followed him to America. Dragunov mentions beating McDonagh to force him out of NXT UK, but McDonagh says Dragunov's body was so battered and broken he had to relinquish his title.McDonagh says this is his time, not Dragunov, and tells him to stay on the sidelines like he has been doing for the last few months, because if he has to stop him one more time, he will end his career. Bron Breakker appears and welcome Dragunov to America, saying that while he is a warrior, the NXT Championship is not going anywhere. McDonagh suddenly has a great idea: Breakker and Dragunov beating each other up so he can take his shot afterwards.

He says that while things still have a haze to them, one thing is crystal clear: Grayson Waller had better keep an eye out for him, as he is not done yet.



Backstage, Ilja Dragonuv runs into Xyon Quinn, who tells him that he has hear about him and says he could not hold the weight that comes at being champion, then says that he has never carried the ball because no one would get it back.

Andre Chase and Bodhi Hayward are seen in the Chase University section before Grayson Waller attacks Nathan Frazer's opponent, Guru Raaj. He says that nobody cares about Frazer's debut and that things will get embarrassing if he takes one more step, because this is his show. Grayson says he does what he wants, when he wants, then sees Chase and Hayward and tells them that their university is a scam and that their sorority is "built like refrigerators." As Hayward and Chase confront Grayson Waller, Nathan Frazer attacks Grayson with a missile drop kick out of nowhere and overpowers him, then Andre Chase says that this is a teachable moment.

We hear from Wes Lee, who talks about his six-month journey back to being a tag team champion and the anger from losing the titles, then says going alone means new challenges and new risks. He says he can either bitch and complain or knuckle up and make waves. (Throughout the promo, Nash Carter - who was fired following allegations of abusing his soon-to-be-ex-wife, fellow professional wrestler Kimber Lee as well as a selfie of Nash Carter performing a "sieg heil" hand signal with a Hitler-esque mustache - is not shown or even mentioned by name.)

Backstage, we see Joe Gacy surrounded by people cloaked in black robes as he says "Let's go change the world."

Joe Gacy heads to the ring. Gacy says the journey to change and embrace the world has come far as his black-cloaked figures approach the ring. He says that NXT is clay of acceptance of everyone that he has molded for the last six months, but the mission is not done. He says that not everyone buys into his way of life and asks why, before saying it is time to break away from the masses of people who want to live in the past and commit to the future and his vision willingly, because after next week, there will be no choice. Gacy says that Bron Breakker has not mentioned his injury because he knows that Breakker is not cleared to defend the NXT Championship because of what he did and because of Breakker's "fall from grace." Gacy says he will become the next NXT Champion, and the clay that he molded will be hardened into the vision of how he sees the world. Suddenly, Rick Steiner shows up. Rick tells Gacy that he has it all wrong and that Bron Breakker is cleared to defend the NXT Championship next week, then Gacy tells Rick that he picked either a great time or the worst possible time to come back before the black-cloaked figures surround the ring. They all step off the apron when Bron Breakker shows up, and Breakker levels a few of the black-cloaked figures on the way to the ring before levelling even more. As this happens, some of the black-cloaked figures hold Rick Steiner back in the corner. Gacy, however, is able to take out Breakker with a clothesline. The black-cloaked figures then pass the NXT Championship over to Joe Gacy, who lifts it over a downed Bron Breakker to end the show.

Bron Breakker heads to the ring. Breakker says Joe Gacy wanted to send him a message and got his attention by kidnapping his father Rick Steiner.

We hear from Joe Gacy, who says that we are a society that lives through social media and emotion and ruled by the court of public emotion and not the court of law. He says the truth is what people believe, not what they know. He says that people do not know what they want until they are given what they need, then says that Bron Breakker is carrying NXT on his back when he is the only one who can lead NXT. He says that Bron Breakker is too emotional and that he can easily control, and while he desires to destroy everything in his life, he plans to hand on to his father Rick Steiner's ring, which he pulls out of the campfire and wears.



Backstage, Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Elektra Lopez, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) is met by Tony D'Angelo, who says that they had a little misunderstanding last week, then gives him an envelope in case things do not go his way tonight. Escobar puts the envelope back in D'Angelo's jacket and says respect is worth way more than money.



Cora Jade heads to the ring. She says WrestleMania weekend was the most important weekend of her life, and it was bigger than she could have ever imagined and her parents got to see her perform. Cora says she held her own against three talented women in the ring, and while she came up short, she now knows she needs - not wants - to become Women's Champion, as she wanted to be a champion since she was a kid. She says that she has always meant that and that she will work to become a champion and be like the women that she looked up to. Suddenly, Natalya shows up. Natalya thanks the fans for their support and says the Performance Center brings back so many memories, then says it is good to finally meet Cora Jade, who is a big fan of her.

Gacy says Draco should not be disappointed with his loss, as he gave it his all and he does not have to do it all by himself. Gacy says he is here to listen to both his actions and his words, then bids him a good night before Harland stares down Draco.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Pete Dunne, who says Tony D'Angelo talks away too much and that he has stopped talking after being beaten by Cameron Grimes. He then says he will finish their business in a steel cage next week. Draco Anthony shows up and says that while D'Angelo may not respect him, he does, and says it is an honor to share the ring with him tonight. Dunne shrugs it off and says he is in the mood to snap his fingers before heading to the ring.

Pete Dunne beats Draco Anthony. During the match, Joe Gacy and Harland are seen on the balcony, which briefly distracts Draco. Later on, Tony D'Angelo shows up to hit Dunne with a crowbar, but Dunne sees it coming a mile away, dodges the crowbar and lays him out.

Breakker says that he respects Escobar, but at Vengeance Day, he will beat Escobar and there is not a thing he can do about it. He also proposes they flip the table and start fighting like with all contract signings, but Escobar says he would not expect a different answer from someone so new, so young and so naive, for he is pulling all the strings. Escobar says that he also plans to end Breakker's career and future before they even start, then Dolph Ziggler suddenly shows up. Ziggler sits down at the table and says he is a big fan of Breakker before saying he works Tuesdays and asking Breakker who he is. Breakker says he is the reason Ziggler is here and that he will take care of him after Escobar. Ziggler says Breakker is making a big mistake looking past Escobar to him before mentioning his accolades and stating that the NXT Championship is not among them. He says that he does not have to be better or stronger than Breakker - which he is - and that all he has to do is be in Breakker's head when Tommaso Ciampa shows up. Ciampa says Ziggler as NXT Champion is a hard pass for him and tells Ziggler that while he loves his spirit, then Escobar wants to know what is going on before calling Breakker and Ciampa "frenemies" and saying Ziggler is only here over a mean tweet. Escobar threatens to deal with both Breakker and Ciampa, but Ciampa threatens to beat him up if he interrupts him again and get next in line for the NXT Championship unless Ziggler has a problem with it. Ziggler says the fans clap their hands like seals no matter what Ciampa does and that Ciampa acts like NXT is his home before asking it will end. Ciampa boots Ziggler in the head and brawls with him on the outside. Back in the ring, Legado del Fantasma attack Bron Brakker, but Breakker fights back.

He then brings up Bron Breakker, then says actions speak louder than words and asks who has the balls to take the NXT Championship from him. Suddenly, Bron Breakker shows up. Bron says he has treated Ciampa with nothing but respect since he walked into the door, but regardless of how long he has been in NXT, he wants the NXT Championship, saying he has the biggest balls in the locker room and wants to face Ciampa for the title. Ciampa says the difference between himself and Bron Breakker is that while Bron wants the title, he needs it, as the title is a stepping stone to something bigger and better to Bron, while to him, it already is something bigger and better. Ciampa tells Bron he has three weeks to "go from an intern to a Ph.D.," then says "Challenge accepted."
