Backstage, Je'Von Evans runs into Shiloh Hill and Drake Morreaux, The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe), and Chase University (Andre Chase, Kale Dixon, Uriah Connors) as he heads to the ring.

Je'Von Evans heads to the ring. Je'Von says that last week was crazy after The Undertaker met with him and told him to take on the biggest dog in the yard, then says he might as well do it right now. Trick Williams shows up and says "the biggest dog has finally arrived," then warns him that he should not mess with him, as they have danced before and he came out on top. Je'Von says Trick should slow down, especially after The Undertaker choke slammed him to Hell, but Trick says he is still Total Nonstop Action World Champion and the biggest thing in TNA. Je'Von tells Trick he was really talking about Oba Femi and not him, but Trick Williams says Oba Femi wishes he was him and entertains taking what he has. Je'Von warns Trick he has no problem taking him out if he gets in his way. Suddenly, The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe) shows up, and Wes Lee says that while Je'Von will have his road to the championship, it will be long, for The High Ryze will stop him in his tracks. Je'Von says he will start tonight with Wes Lee, then punches Wes Lee in the face.

Blake Monroe heads to the ring. Blake says that Jordynne Grace is not a superstar and is more of a background player, or as some would say, an extra. Blake continues to mock Jordynne through older pictures of her and claims that Jordynne sees "gym membership material" when she looks in a mirror. She then states that she considers herself "star power" and what to build a brand around, and that WWE knew about her before she started wrestling, and that when one looks as good as her, one does not need to change a thing. All of a sudden, Lola Vice shows up and says that while Blake is beautiful on the outside, she is ugly on the outside, then says that Blake Monroe will not be champion of the NXT women's division. As Lola says she knows how to make viral moments, Jaida Parker shows up and says she does not need anybody to make any kind of noise and that she is chasing championships and not clout. As Blake mocks both Lola and Jaida, Jordynne Grace's music hits, but Kelani Jordan shows up instead and says that she is the future and dares Blake to face her in a match, saying that on her best day, she cannot do it like her. Blake states that Kelani finally has a personality and threatens to put her in a medical facility with Jordynne Grace before headbutting her. This starts a brawl, and Lola and Kelani come out on top before Jaida shoves Blake away from her on the outside.

Je'Von Evans beats Wes Lee in a match that also sees interference from Tyson DuPont and Tyriek Igwe. After the match, Oba Femi is on the balcony as Trick Williams is on the outside.

Backstage, Vic Joseph interviews Myles Borne. Myles talks about how he was born deaf and how he almost died soon after he was born, how he had to learn to read lips and how he has learned to block the hate out with people like Lexis King.

As General Manager Ava gets injury updates from Robert Stone and Stevie Turner - Ricky Starks will be back in no time following a bruised sternum, while Jordynne Grace has avoided serious spinal injuries - Lexis King shows up and says Myles Borne is not really deaf and is being "a con man," saying that if Myles is deaf, then he is blind as a bat. Lexis gets a match against Myles Borne next week, and Lexis says he looks forward to proving that Myles is a fraud in the ring as much as he is out of it.

In backstage footage from during the break, Nia Jax shows up as Fatal Influence argue to brag that Lash Legend got dropped and does not measure up.

"All Ego" Ethan Page retains the NXT North American Championship agianst Santino Marella after using the referee as a human shield against the Cobra before thumbing Santino in the eyes and hitting Twisted Grin to win and retain.

Jordynne admits that getting to this point was the hardest thing she has ever done, but last week reminded her that she thrives under pressure, and the bigger the struggle, the greater the win. She says that she is going to make history among the best women's wrestlers in the world, but to do that, she has to be something she is terrified of being: vulnerable. Jordynne questions if she is really good enough to be here and if she belongs in WWE, even after doing everything she had to do to get her and become someone that could not be ignored. As she says that she will beat Jacy Jayne and remind herself of who she is, The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) shows up. Jacy asks Jordynne if she is done with her sob story and says that Jordynne will never carry the women's division like she can, then says Jordynne will never beat her for the NXT Women's Championship. She says that Jordynne is like Blake Monroe in that she thinks she can walk in and have everyone bow down , but The Fatal Influence will remind her of where she stands.
