Hit Row hit the ring first and they talk about it being Ladies' Night this week in NXT.

After some banter, Legado Del Fantasma head down, and the women will start their match.

* No Disqualification Match: B-Fab vs. Elektra Lopez

They battle outside the ring before the bell, and eventually they get in the ring to signify the match officially starting. B-Fab dropkicks her, they fight outside the ring again, and Elektra shoves her into the steel steps. Joaquin Wilde introduces a trash can, but Top Dolla swats it away, and now the two groups are fighting into a commercial break!

When we come back the ringside has cleared out and now it's just Elektra choking B-Fab with her boot. Elektra pulls out a table, B-Fab cuts her off, but Elektra picks her up, B-Fab slips off and shoves her into the edge of the ring, then slams her leg into the table legs. Elektra brings in a couple of kendo sticks and a few chairs into the ring, then body slams B-Fab onto the chairs. B-Fab hits her with a chair and a kendo stick, but then Elektra hits a crosbody through a chair, drops her on the top of another, and plants her with a spin-out powerbomb for the win! WINNER: ELEKTRA LOPEZ!

We look at the honeymoon of In-Dex now, and it's them on the beach. Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae are on a hotel balcony watching over them. Gargano decides to pretend to be a shark to scare them out of the water. Breaktime.

Joe Gacy is sitting on a chair in the middle of the ring, and he calls the ring a safe space. He says he made an impact last week, and he's not cancelled, and says he stood up to Tommaso Ciampa, Roderick Strong and Bron Breakker and didn't throw a punch. He continues talking and says they can solve issues by talking about it... on a wrestling show. "I don't want to take up too much of your time. I know there's a match coming up. Thank you for your open mind."
