Winner and STILL NXT Women's Champion: Kelani Jordan
A furious Wren Sinclair storms the ring to attack Jordan. The referee (Victoria D'Errico) tries to stop her but ends up being knocked out by the former WWE Speed champion. Sinclair exits the ring to grab a kendo stick to continue attacking Jordan. She flees to ringside, but Wren goes after her to keep hitting her with the stick. Several officials have to intervene to stop Sinclair.
We see a video recorded yesterday in the office of Robert Stone. After filming a promo for social media, Stone was visited by Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno. The Europeans recalled what happened last week. Both got a great tag team victory, only for the celebration to be ruined by The Creed Brothers. Moreno pointed out that Stone should do something about it. Robert stated that he brought back The Creeds because they are former NXT tag team champions and Dusty Cup winners, not to attack anyone. That's why he apologized to them. However, the Europeans didn't want an apology, they wanted a match against Julius and Brutus to get their revenge. Stone accepted Dar and Moreno's request, informing them that they would have their desired match tonight.
Tavion Heights watches a video message on his mobile phone sent by Myles Borne. "T. How much did what I did to you hurt? It made me think: 'Did I throw away all the brotherhood for being paranoid?' I repeated to you over and over that I didn't want to be betrayed, and I thought you were coming for me, so I acted first. Then I heard you in the interview saying that you would never have betrayed me. Maybe I misjudged this whole damn thing. I believe you. I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. I guess I may have completely messed up. Maybe I owe you an apology. I looked you in the eyes and told you that you could be a champion, and I firmly believed it. I wish I could be out there by your side. Good luck against Jackson, T," says Myles. Hank Walker and Tank Ledger are with Tavion. Hank thinks Myles is being sincere. Tank asks Heights if he has had the chance to talk to Borne face to face about what happened. Tavion replies that he hasn't. And it's a matter that will have to wait because tonight he has a championship to win. Heights picks up his towel and leaves the place. Hank and Tank encourage him for his match.
Tag Team Match

Winners: The Creed Brothers
We see a backstage video before the show. In it, the members of BirthRight criticize Zilla Fatu for rejecting their offer last week. Uriah Connors points out that the Samoan THINKS he's better than them when he's actually ONE of them. Charlie Dempsey is tired of the lack of respect the faction receives week after week. It's time for this situation to change. Fit Finlay and William Regal approach them. Regal points out that it's time for BirthRight to step up and earn NXT's attention. "You were stripped of your title, Lexis. What else will they take from you?", Finlay asks Lexis King. Regal notes that the problem with Zilla Fatu is not over yet. Lexis promises that he will take care of the Samoan. "I know you could, but I have a long history with Zilla's father. Charlie is the right man for this job. Bring us a piece of him tonight," says Regal. Dempsey immediately leaves to follow his father's orders.
Robert Stone approaches Wren Sinclair to scold her for what happened tonight. The former WWE Speed champion reminds the General Manager that Kelani Jordan not only injured her best friend but also has been mocking both of them. And she won't let her continue. If Kendal Grey can't be there to defend herself, she will do it for both of them. "That won't happen," says Stone. Wren asks why. "Because you've left me no choice. I have to suspend you," says Stone. Two security members appear to escort Sinclair out of the venue.
We see Charlie Dempsey in the center of the ring. "Enough. For almost six years, I've kept my head down and my mouth shut. And the more I do that, the more I realize how little I'm really valued... despite everything I can do in this ring," he says. Dempsey knows that many don't consider him an entertaining talent, which includes executing flashy moves, having great mic skills, or catchy catchphrases. "I've always valued substance over style. Facts over words. Maybe that's what's left me behind in NXT," he says. But at least he can go home, look in the mirror, and feel proud of not being a sellout. He has never compromised his principles to play this game, as some of his locker room colleagues have.
So when BirthRight approached him to recruit him, he ended up accepting. Because they all have wrestling in their blood. Joining the faction meant a fresh start for him. One that would allow him to show everyone that he is the best grappler in WWE. Instead, every week he goes to NXT to look like an idiot. Everyone in BirthRight suffers the same. Last week, the only shred of credibility left for the faction (the WWE Speed Championship) was taken from them. "But you know what? I'm tired of being treated like a joke all the time. I'm sick of this. I'm not going to sit here waiting for NXT to take me seriously. Why should I keep contributing to a company that's more concerned with picking up a bunch of failed footballers and turning them into something they're not while turning their backs on the real wrestlers who give their all in this every day?", he wonders.
Charlie believes it's time for those who truly deserve this attention to take it by force. And that's exactly what BirthRight will do. Dempsey promises that no one, absolutely no one, will be able to stop him. And certainly not Zilla Fatu. Charlie knows the Samoan is watching right now, so he wants to send him a message. "Dempsey admits that Zilla has something his faction needs. In return, he could help him on his path to becoming a great superstar. They started off on the wrong foot last week, so he proposes to forget what happened. Dempsey points out that all BirthRight members are like him. They know the weight of their last names and the need to make a name for themselves. That said, he extends his hand again offering him the same offer as last week. He just has to come out and say 'yes'."
Zilla Fatu makes his entrance!
Zilla acknowledges that Dempsey is right about many of the things he has talked about. Fatu carries a heavy burden for being his father's son. Zilla admits he can't compare to Charlie as a grappler, but he's sure he can raise NXT's level. "I appreciate the invitation, but I'm not going to get lost in the sauce. Because I'm not just one more (one of the ones). I'm The Main One. Zilla Fatu! And, just like last week, my answer to this is: Hello! Actually, not a chance!", exclaims the Samoan.
The rest of BirthRight members appear on the scene to surround the ring. Uriah Connors makes it clear to Zilla that this is not an invitation. "Hey, man. We're not asking you. We're telling you," he says. Charlie tries to surprise Fatu with a right hook, but he dodges it to attack Lexis King, who was trying to enter the ring. The Samoan manages to stop the assault of the BirthRight men, only to find himself face to face with Arianna Grace, who slaps him. Lexis surprises Fatu with a chair shot to the back. The faction joins forces against Zilla, who can do nothing to defend himself. Connors, King, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, and Dempsey apply a quadruple powerbomb to Fatu on the commentary table, which is left shattered. Charlie tears off Fatu's shirt to pose with it as if it were a trophy. Thus, we come to the end of this segment.
Naraku addresses Shiloh Hill in a new video promo. "There is an old Japanese saying that goes 'Saihatsu boshi,' which means 'preventing the same problem from happening again in the future.' Shiloh Hill, you seem to not understand that asking yourself about the nature of the mist only leads you down a path of pain and darkness. From your research into the mist, you will know that there are as many colors as there are ways to hurt you. You felt the red mist. Last week, you felt the green mist. Now I will give you a choice, Shiloh. Stop all of this right now or you will experience every color and every painful effect. Choose wisely, because if you choose wrong, you will regret it. Darkness awaits!".
We move backstage, where Saquon Shugars tries to come up with a plan for the match he will compete in alongside Tony D'Angelo and Mason Rook tonight. Shugars believes Mason should take care of Keanu Carver, while D'Angelo should handle Cruz Montana. Tony asks Saquon to calm down a little. D'Angelo believes everyone should do their part. And, of course, he doesn't want either of them getting in his way tonight. Tony hasn't forgotten that both Mason and Saquon have attacked him in the past. Besides, the only thing he cares about is regaining his NXT Championship. Rook points out that they all want the same thing, so they need to work as a team. Tristan Angels appears on the scene to mock them. The Brit addresses Rook, whom he describes as the weak link of this team. "Mister England" believes he should be in the position of a man who recently won his first match in NXT. Mason tries to confront Angels, but Saquon steps in. Shugars believes Tristan talks too much for someone who lost to Zilla Fatu last week. Angels points out that, at least, he had the guts to face the Samoan. "I am a leader. Saquon, you've never been anything more than a sheep," Tristan says before walking away.
NXT North American Championship Match
Jackson Drake (c) (with Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes and Myka Lockwood) vs. Tavion Heights

Drake catches Tavion off guard with an elbow, only to receive a tremendous flying clothesline in response. Heights continues his offense with a powerslam. Tavion sends the champion out of the ring before looking to build momentum off the ropes, but Smokes grabs him by the legs to trip him up. Furious, Heights gets out of the ring and knocks Ricky out with a right hand. "Stay out of my business!" Tavion shouts at Ricky as soon as he returns to the ring. Jackson catches Heights from behind and sends him out of the ring. Drake quickly goes after him and hits him with a senton.

Jackson drops a knee drop across the challenger's throat to further damage it. Drake traps Tavion in a grounded headlock. Heights escapes and charges the champion into one of the corners. Jackson avoids Tavion's charge by jumping over him. However, he hurts his ankle on the landing.
The referee approaches the champion to check on his condition. Jackson takes off his boot to examine his ankle. Heights shows zero concern for his opponent's condition and catches him off guard with a slingblade. After that, he traps Jackson's injured ankle in an Ankle Lock. Drake manages to escape to ringside. Tavion goes after him, but ends up being caught off guard by the champion, who throws him into one of the ring posts. Limping, Drake brings Tavion back inside the ring, where he unleashes a flurry of elbows. Jackson traps Heights in a crossface. Tavion grabs the champion's injured ankle to force him to break the hold.
Both men trade strikes in the center of the ring. Heights takes Drake down with several clotheslines before hitting him with a body drop. Tavion hits a slingblade on Jackson. Drake stops his opponent's offense with a big boot before hitting him with a german suplex hold. 1..2..NO. The action moves to the apron area. Jackson kicks Heights repeatedly. He blocks one of the kicks and responds with a german suplex. Tavion brings him back inside the ring and covers him. 1..2..NO. Jackson breaks the count with a roll-up. 1..2..NO. Heights tries to grab Drake's ankle, but Drake catches him off guard with a running knee strike. Tavion is completely knocked out on the mat. Jackson finishes him off with a 450 Splash. 1..2..3.
Winner and STILL NXT North American Champion: Jackson Drake
The Vanity Project celebrate on the entrance ramp. Meanwhile, Heights notices Myles Borne in the crowd. Tavion stares at his former friend before returning backstage.
We move to one of the locker rooms, where Cruz Montana, EK Prosper and Keanu Carver are gathered. Montana knows that his teammates tonight have had issues in the past, but he asks them to put their differences aside. Only then will they be able to work together to achieve their common goal. EK Prosper has no problem with that. But can the three of them play the same game? Keanu asks if that was a dig at him. Cruz tells Carver to calm down. Besides, this was his idea. Robert Stone approaches them to make sure everything is okay. Carver puts on his friendliest demeanor to assure the General Manager that they are just putting together a plan for tonight. A match that has saved Stone a lot of trouble. "It's a great match. It got you out of a jam last week," Carver says. "I'm looking forward to the match," the General Manager replies before walking away.
Zaria makes her way to the ring. "For most of the time, there was always something or someone standing in my way of the gold. And that included my self-proclaimed best friend, whom I helped hold two of those titles hostage. Seven months ago, I finally got rid of the burden that mistake had become, and look at everything I've done. One by one, I've taken out every single one of your favorites, no matter the odds stacked against me. And that continued in the triple threat title unification match at Heatwave, where I put to rest any doubts about who Zaria is. What was once the nightmare that haunted me for months became the redemption I longed for. And I was finally the one who raised two titles above her head. Now the Speed Championship is in the past, which is exactly where it belongs, and I will continue to be the most dominant North American Champion this brand has ever seen!" she exclaims.
Izzi Dame interrupts the promo from the stands!
Dame doesn't believe Zaria is the most dominant North American Champion in history just because she won a triple threat match. That's not how things work. The NXT Universe may buy into this charade, but she doesn't. Besides, she also disagrees that Zaria put all doubts to rest following her victory at Heatwave. "I can see right through this charade you're putting on. In my opinion, you've become everything you said you hated," Dame says. Zaria challenges her to come down to the ring and say it to her face. Dame considers this the typical attitude of someone trying to hide something. But it doesn't matter, because she will show the world her true face.
Thea Hail interrupts the segment!
Thea believes Zaria will agree with her on one thing: nobody cares about what Izzi Dame has to say. Hail points out that Jaida Parker has encouraged her, and she is now more than motivated to reclaim the championship she once held. Dame interrupts her, pointing out that her speech is boring. Izzi says her goal is the championship, not whoever holds it, so she will let Thea and Zaria settle this between themselves. With that, Dame walks away. Hail gets into the ring. Thea doesn't care who has the title either. Her goal is to win it and prove to everyone that she isn't the kind of talent who only holds one championship throughout her career. Zaria points out that Hail wouldn't have come out there if Jaida hadn't suggested it. And that's why she'll never be champion again. The Australian says relying on other people to think for you will never work. Thea believes Zaria is somewhat jealous because she has found a real friend. "They will never be on your side. They will always abandon you. Always. When will you understand that?" Zaria asks. "Maybe I'll understand when you forget about Sol," Hail replies. Furious, the Australian headbutts her. Zaria tries to hit her with an F5, but Thea escapes her grasp and takes refuge in one of the corners. Zaria charges at Hail. Thea dodges her, causing Zaria to crash into the turnbuckle. Thea sends her into the opposite corner before trapping her in a Kimura Lock. The Australian taps out. Hail releases her hold and runs around the ring. Thea poses on the entrance ramp to bring the segment to an end.
A dejected Myles Borne runs into Hank Walker and Tank Ledger backstage. Borne says there is nothing left to do. Tavion Heights has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with him. Walker and Ledger assure him that there is always something that can be done, so they suggest apologizing to his friend. Myles points out that he has already done that. Tank tells him that he needs to do it properly. "Face to face," Walker says. That's what Borne was trying to do tonight, but Heights left. Tank and Hank remind him that he had just lost a title match. It wasn't the best time to talk. Myles thinks they're right, so he asks where he is. Walker and Tank inform him that he has already left the building. "Okay. Next week I'll apologize to Tavion face to face," Borne says. Ledger and Walker assure him that he can count on them for anything. Myles thanks them for everything. Hank and Tank walk away, bringing the segment to an end.
BirthRight approach William Regal and Fit Finlay backstage. "You wanted a piece of him? Here you go," Charlie Dempsey tells his father as he hands him Zilla Fatu's shirt. The legends congratulate Dempsey and his teammates. "Violence is the way forward," says Finlay. "We're proud of you," Regal adds. The Vanity Project appear on the scene. Jackson Drake is also expecting congratulations after his first defense as North American Champion. And against none other than a former Olympic wrestler. Regal places his hand on Drake's shoulder. "Congratulations, sunshine. But don't get too comfortable. BirthRight are on the hunt," the legend says before walking away with his faction. Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux appear on the scene to make their intentions of winning the tag team championships clear. The Creed Brothers join the conversation to declare exactly the same thing. Drake mocks Julius and Brutus, whom he describes as the "old men" around here who now want to play with the younger guys. Osiris Griffin and Cutler James appear on the scene to confront The Creeds, leading to an argument between all the teams. Thus, we come to the end of this segment.
Sarah Schreiber interviews Kali Armstrong backstage. Armstrong is annoyed by Thea Hail's comments, as she intends to cut the line for a shot at the NXT Women's North American Championship just because her friend asked her to. "Has she beaten Zaria one-on-one like I have? Of course not!" Kali exclaims. She points out that Thea can't do anything without help from others. She, on the other hand, doesn't need anyone. Lizzy Rain interrupts the interview. The Brit wonders why Armstrong doesn't "steal" the opportunity she believes she deserves, just as she "stole" her interview two weeks ago. "How about I steal you instead?" a defiant Kali asks. The two women begin arguing, forcing several officials to step in and break them up.
Grayson Waller joins the commentary desk to watch tonight's main event.
