WWE NXT starts on Netflix!
Robert Stone arrives at the General Manager's office, where Shawn Michaels is waiting for him. Michaels recalls that Stone has done everything the company has asked of him for the past seven years. "It's been a real pleasure, Shawn. I love NXT," Stone replies. "I know it is. That's why I'm naming you the new Interim General Manager of NXT," says HBK. Stone can't quite believe it. "Look, I know this place can be crazy, but in a way, I like it that way, you know?" says Shawn. "Thank you, sir, I won't let you down," says Stone as he shakes his hand. Michaels leaves the office to end the segment.

Izzi celebrates her victory in the ring with Spears and Vance.
We move to the women's locker room, where Wren Sinclair and Kendal Grey congratulate Sol Ruca for her great performance at the Royal Rumble. Zaria approaches them. Sinclair and Grey decide to leave them alone. Sol regrets that Zaria couldn't be with her in Arabia. The Australian, however, complains that it's always Ruca who gets opportunities. Sol reminds her that she doesn't decide who gets them and who doesn't. "I got a call and they asked me not to say anything. What would you have done?", asks Sol. "I probably would have done the same. I just need to win tonight for myself. Now it's my turn," says the Australian before leaving.
We see a video recorded before the show. In it, Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors accompany Andre Chase in the infirmary. It seems that the leader of Chase U has jaw problems after Keanu Carver's brutal attack last week. Connors and Dixon step away from Chase to talk. Connors makes it clear that he's tired of waiting for opportunities that never come. Chase was supposed to boost them, but they still don't see results. That's why he decided to take matters into his own hands last week, and he won't apologize for it. Lexis King, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, and Arianna Grace approach them. Lorenzo wonders if what he's hearing is a discussion between teammates, because it brings back memories. King goes straight to Kale to scold him for hindering Connors' desire to make a name for himself. Dixon is surprised that King cares about someone other than himself. That said, he asks Connors if he really wants an opportunity, because they have it right in front of them. Grace asks Kale if he's proposing a tag team match against his teammates. Lorenzo and King approve of the idea, as they can prove something with a victory. "I see a lot of potential projecting in front of me. The question is, which of you two is it?", asks King before leaving with his teammates.
Tony D'Angelo makes his entrance with a new theme song. With a microphone in hand, Tony recalls that it's been seven months since he last addressed the fans. D'Angelo asks the production team to light up the place so he can see the fans. "Tony, Tony!" chant the fans. D'Angelo lists his achievements in NXT, a brand where he had everything. He had friends. He had a family. People he could count on, and who could count on him. And suddenly, it was all taken away from him. And then he had to pick up the pieces.
Tony recalls his life on the streets of Chicago, where he had to learn to survive. That's how he built a team, a family. That implied a responsibility. But then DarkState came and ruined everything. That's when he had to take some time, get away from it all, and reflect on who he is. "I had to remember that I was a national champion. I had to remember what I do best. And that's smashing people's heads against the canvas," he says.
D'Angelo explains that his chaotic return to NXT had a purpose. Leaving bodies lying here and there wasn't just random. It was calculated. "Suddenly, in a business where everyone knows everything, nobody knew anything. And I liked that," he says. Now, everyone wonders what reasons brought him back. And that's something he's going to explain to them. D'Angelo reveals that there are two reasons why he decided to return. The first is DarkState. Tony wants to end it, but not out of revenge, but as a punishment. "You took everything from me. Now I'll take everything from you," he says. "Reason number two... you'll know it when I'm done with DarkState," says D'Angelo to end the promo. Tony gets out of the ring to head backstage. And so we reach the end of this segment.

Kelly Kincaid interviews Joe Hendry backstage. The Scotsman acknowledges that he's not at 100% after last week's attack, but he won't let anything stop him from competing in the most important match of his career. Joe recalls that it's been seven months since he held a championship. Besides, he didn't come to NXT to entertain, but to win the top championship. So no matter how many times they knock him down, because he won't stop getting up over and over again until he climbs to the top of the ladder and takes the belt. "I'm going to give the NXT Universe a bigger reason to believe in Joe Hendry. Say his name and he appears: New NXT Champion," says the Scotsman to end the interview.

Ethan Page congratulates The Vanity Project (Jackson Drake, Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor) for their attack on Joe Hendry last week. Drake points out that he just wanted to arrive fresh for tonight’s Ladder Match. “All Ego” knows perfectly well why he did it. Baylor asks Page about his issue with Myles Borne. Ethan notes that the former No Quarter Catch Crew member attacked him with his own championship last week. Page laments that Myles refused to listen to his advice, but he no longer cares. He’s done with him. Luckily, there are three promising talents who do listen to his advice. Smokes doesn’t understand how anyone wouldn’t want to take notes from what the longest-reigning WWE Champion currently has to say. Ethan points out that NXT can be an easy road if they use their heads. And that’s exactly what Smokes and Baylor will need next week if they want to defeat Hank Walker and Tank Ledger. On the other hand, Page advises Drake not to rush things tonight. He must pick the perfect moment and capitalize on it. “It’s advice from a double champion to a future double champion”, says “All Ego” before leaving.
We see a video recorded outside the venue before the show. In it, Jaida Parker was interacting with fans when she was suddenly attacked by Blake Monroe. Venue security had to intervene to separate the Brit from her victim.

Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid) make their entrance. Jayne recalls her participation in the Royal Rumble. A moment, on the other hand, that was long overdue for her. And everything was going well: she eliminated Kelani Jordan, the fans chanted her name (because all over the world they know she is the most important piece of this brand). But then Sol Ruca eliminated her from the battle royal. And, as usual, everyone is talking about Sol and her viral moments in the Rumble, ignoring the fact that the woman whose back carries the weight of NXT is named Jacy Jayne. But she doesn’t care. “It’s fine, Sol. IT’S FINE. You can steal my moment, that’s perfectly fine. Because in the end, all I have to do is be the one who silences everyone and kills the hype. That’s why my next opponent for the NXT Championship will be…”, Jayne says before being interrupted.
¡Zaria appears on the scene!
The Australian begins by berating Jayne for sending her teammates after her last week, stating that it wouldn’t be enough to take her out. Besides, Sol has received too many opportunities, so now it’s her turn. Zaria steps into the ring to advise the NXT Champion to worry about her and not Ruca. “Oh, Zaria, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but there’s a reason you don’t get any opportunities. Everyone loves Sol. They just tolerate you. Sol has proven time and time again that she deserves opportunities. You, on the other hand, have done absolutely nothing to deserve them”, says Jacy. Fallon and Lainey step between Zaria and their partner.
¡Kendal Grey and Wren Sinclair storm onto the scene!
Kendal reminds Jayne that she needed her two partners to defeat her at New Year’s Evil. And even then, she was close to beating her that night. That’s why she wants another match. “Give her a chance!” chant the fans. “I used to wonder if I was ready. What I wonder now isn’t whether I can beat you and become NXT Champion, it’s whether I’ll do it by three-count or by submission”, says Grey. “Kendal, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll stay out of my way,” says Zaria. Wren states that Grey deserves this opportunity more than the Australian. Zaria, for her part, wants nothing to do with a lackey. Kendal defends her partner, making it clear that they don’t keep secrets from each other. Besides, had they been the ones competing for the Knockouts World Tag Team Championships, they wouldn’t have let them slip away.
¡Sol Ruca joins the conversation!
Sol wants everyone to calm down. Ruca is aware that Kendal wants a title opportunity. She wants it too. Even Wren would be thrilled to have that chance. “And they’re still friends, right Zaria?” asks Sol. “Kendal didn’t sneak off to go to the Rumble, Sol,” replies the Australian. Jayne interrupts the conversation to make it clear that she’s only interested in defending the title against one of them, and that is Sol.
Robert Stone appears on the scene with a solution that will solve this problem. The Interim NXT General Manager announces that WrenCQQ will face ZaRuca in a tag team match next week. The woman who scores the victory for her team will become the next challenger for the NXT Women’s Championship. A match that will take place in Atlanta in three weeks. Jacy raises the championship in front of her four potential challengers as the segment comes to an end.
Cathy Kelley interviews Kelani Jordan backstage. Kelley asks Jordan why she attacked Lola Vice in the first match of the night. “Kelley, let me ask you a question: How is Lola Vice supposed to knock someone out when I’ve just broken her hand?” replies a smiling Kelani before walking off.
Kendal Grey and Wren Sinclair talk backstage with Charlie Dempsey. Grey and Sinclair are excited about the opportunity within their reach. Charlie doesn’t share their joy, as he has been eliminated from the WWE Speed tournament. Lexis King, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, Arianna Grace and Uriah Connors approach Dempsey. “Charlie, have you given some time and thought to what we talked about?” asks King. And so we reach the end of this brief segment.
