* NXT North American Championship: Carmelo Hayes vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Cameron Grimes {C}

The crowd is firmly behind Solo for this match. Hayes gets attacked by both men, suffers a back body drop by Sikoa, and Grimes kicks him in the chest, but he ducks out the ring to avoid a double superkick. The action picks up with near-fall after near-fall between Grimes and Sikoa, while Hayes keeps getting knocked down and off the apron. Hayes finally gets in and walks into a kick to the chest, he gets hiptossed into a hurricanrana on Sikoa, clotheslines Grimes, hits a springboard clothesline to Sikoa, springboard legdrop to Grimes, and now he's found his groove. Grimes throws Hayes out the ring, kicks him in the chest, hits a diving crossbody to Sikoa, and Hayes breaks up the count with a kick to the head. Sikoa clotheslines Hayes, Grimes hits Sikoa with a hurricanrana, Sikoa hiptosses Grimes into the turnbuckles, Hayes does a tilt-a-whirl facebuster, Grimes hits the flipping moonsault slam, and Sikoa breaks up the count with a senton! Sikoa is in control before our first commercial break.

We get picture-in-picture here, Sikoa avalanches Hayes in a corner, Hayes clotheslines him and stomps him down. Grimes gets back into it, Hayes pulls him down by the hair, and Trick Williams mouths off at ringside as Hayes dumps Grimes out the ring. Sikoa is back to his feet against Hayes and hits a legdrop onto the right arm for a 2-count. Hayes rolls away from a legdrop, hits a basement dropkick, trips Grimes up on the top turnbuckle, and he's proud of himself. Grimes and Sikoa start attacking Hayes, Hayes fights back, all three men attack each other, Sikoa sends Grimes into the corner, and Hayes kicks Sikoa in the head.

When we come back full-screen, Hayes is in control, Sikoa headbutts him, Hayes puts the knees up to block a senton, Grimes hits forearm smashes to Hayes, counters, Sikoa superkicks Grimes, and Hayes does a sunset bomb as a result! Sikoa clotheslines Hayes in a corner, uppercuts him, they battle in the corner, Sikoa catches Grimes, so Grimes is in perfect position to superplex Hayes as Sikoa powerbombs him! All three men are down, the crowd chants that this is awesome, all three punch and chop each other, Grimes kicks Sikoa in the head, Hayes kicks Grimes in the head, Grimes kicks Sikoa, then Sikoa gets both men in a corner for the running hip attack! Sikoa hits a release German suplex to Grimes, powerbombs Hayes onto Grimes, spinning urinage to Hayes, and Grimes breaks up the count. Sikoa goes up top, Grimes kicks him, goe sup top, jumps over Hayes, double hurricanrana to both men, delivers the poison 'rana to Hayes, and covers for 2.5! "TO THE MOON!" Hayes counters The Cave In with the lungblower, covers, and gets 2.9! Hayes hops up top, Sikoa superkicks him on the way down, hits the Samoan Splash onto Grimes, and Hayes breaks the count at the very last second! Hayes and Sikoa go back and forth, Sikoa picks him up, Grimes hits THE CAVE IN to Sikoa with Hayes on his shoulders, and covers Sikoa for the 3-count! WINNER and STILL NXT North American Champion: CAMERON GRIMES!

Earlier today, Mandy Rose went to a tanning salon and put a sticker on her hip. Wendy Choo snuck in and messed with the controls. Rose comes out all red, and Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne tell her that they can't go to the beach like that. Nathan Frazer gets interviewed and says Mandy Rose looks like a strawberry, he is super excited to have his debut match on NXT and he's really ecstatic. Breaktime.

Diamond Mine are prepping in their gym. Roderick Strong walks in and speaks with a demeaning attitude telling The Creed Brothers they need to focus. Strong reminds them that he's the leader of the group and they need to listen to him if they want to succeed. There's definitely some tension heating up.

Indi Hartwell is looking at her empty ring finger with a sad face (because Dexter Lumis has been released from WWE) when Duke Hudson enters the locker room. They look at each other, awkwardness, and they walk off disgusted.

* Grayson Waller vs. Nathan Frazer

Waller mocks the newest NXT 2.0 superstar at the beginning, until Frazer does an armdrag from the middle ropes. Frazer dropkicks him, headlock takeover, Waller gives him a hiptoss, but Frazer comes back with the headlock takeover. Frazer outsmarts Waller, hits a missile dropkick from the middle turnbuckles, and Waller runs away from a dive attempt and sits in a beach chair. Frazer goes after him, gets him back in the ring, and Waller is all over him right away. Chase University is in the crowd cheering and waving their banner and they capture Waller's attention. Frazer battles back with chops, waller blocks a springboard, clotheslines him on the floor, he takes a beach ball and rips it open before the break.

We get picture-in-picture again, Waller throws him into the steel steps, brings him back in the ring and continues the attack. Frazer does a sunset flip for 2, schoolboy rollup for 2, Waller kicks him in the face, elbow drop to the back, Frazer lands on his feet from a suplex, but Waller dropkicks him in the leg, hits the diving elbow drop, gets a near-fall, and puts him in a chinlock.

When we come back, Frazer kips up, hits an enzuigiri, Waller hits a leg lariat, plants the sit-out spinebuster and gets a near-fall. Chase U taunt Waller, the crowd starts the wave, Waller mocks Frazer's mentor Seth Rollins, Frazer fights back, clotheslines him out the ring, finally hits the suicide dive, throws him back in, springboards, Waller slides out and rolls back in the ring, Frazer counters with a superkick, a low superkikc, covers, and Waller grabs the bottom rope. Frazer goes up top, rolls through the phoenix splash, Waller puts a boot up, hits a flipping bulldog, covers for 2.5, then jabs him in the jaw. Frazer puts him on the top, dropkicks him, goes for the Spanish Fly, but Waller pushes him off the ropes! Waller stands on the top rope, then he's scared and falls when Andre Chase blows an air horn, Frazer with the PHOENIX SPLASH and gets the 3-count! WINNER: NATHAN FRAZER!

We get a video package for Fallon Henley, she knows how to ride a horse, and will compete in the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament. Legado Del Fantasma step out of their vehicle, and Tony D'Angelo approaches with his crew for a sit-down meeting. Breaktime.

We see Bron Breakker getting ready for his match later tonight. Vic Joseph and Wade Barrett lead us into the sit-down meeting between Santos Escobar and his group along with Tony D'Angelo and his crew. Tony says they got off on the wrong foot but tonight they settle this before it gets too far. They try to talk business, but neither man wants to follow the other's lead. Santos offers a truce, they agree to a peace, but there's still distrust on both sides. Breaktime.

The Viking Raiders get interviewed when we come back, they say Creed Brothers have never been in a battle, and they are ready to raid. Pretty Deadly show up to say they can't wait to watch them tonight. The Vikings don't like being interrupted, and if the champs do it again they have no problem shifting their focus to the titles. Pretty Deadly take the hint and they walk off.

Joe Gacy shows up on screen to tell us to accept change, and he says he is the change to a new beginning. "You should fear what happens if I don't win the NXT Championship. But don't be afraid, because tonight I will change the world."

* Nikkita Lyons & Cora Jade vs. Lash Legend & Natalya

Cora and Lash start the match, Lash throws her around, Cora fights back, does a springboard hurricanrana and hits a high knee, but Lash powers her back into the corner. Natalya tags in, Cora with a sunset flip for 1, mahistral cradle for 1, crucifix for 2, and Natalya scampers to the ropes. Natalya offers a handshake, Cora blocks a kick, and slaps her on the chest. Nikkita tags in, double snapmare into a kick, and Nikkita covers for 2. Natalya takes over, kips up, Nikkita puts her in a headlock, they go back and forth, Natalya rolls her up for 2, and tags out. Lash and Nikkita have their own beef with each other, they go at it for a while, Lash delivers a suplex, kips up, and she does the Cactus Clothesline before the break.

Once again we go picture-in-picture during commercials tonight. They get back in the ring, Lash body slams her, hits a jumping elbow drop for a 2-count, picks her up on her shoulder, they tumble down in a sloppily, and Nikkita tags out. Cora gets distracted by Natalya which gives Lash a chance to get the upper hand. Natalya tags in, beats Jade down in a corner, Cora rolls her up for 2, Natalya prevents the tag, slams her down, covers for 2, and slams her into Legend's boot. Lash and Natalya tag in and out before the break ends.

When we come back, Natalya puts her in a Canadian backbreaker. Lash tags in, attacks her in a corner, Natalya tags in, snap suplex, Cora rolls her up for 2, Natalya covers for 2 and puts her in a chinlock. Cora counters, reaches, Natalya blocks the tag, Lash tags in and attacks her some more until Natalya tags back in.

Nikkita clotheslines Natalya twice, triple kicks, knocks Legend off the apron, Natalya rolls her up for 2, Nikkita counters for 2, and hits a flipping neckbreaker for another near-fall. Nikkita blocks the Sharpshooter, Lash gets the tag, dropkicks Lyons, mounted punches and knees, Nikkita rolls her up, and Natalya ends up with a boot to Legend in a miscue. Nikkita hits a German suplex, Cora tags in, Nikkita hits the split legdrop, Cora hits a senton drop and gets the 3-count. WINNERS: CORA JADE & NIKKITA LYONS!

We get a video package for Tatum Paxley, she works out in the gym lifting weights, and she visualizes her hand raised in the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament. The tournament begins next week!

Earlier today, Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne head to the beach talking about what happened with Mandy Rose. Wendy Choo and Roxanne Perez are spying on them, Roxanne says she should be training for the Breakout Tournament, and Wendy says this is necessary because Toxic Attraction have been making life a living hell for the women of NXT. Gigi and Jacy enjoy their beach weather and the water, while Wendy and Roxanne steal their shoes and car keys. Gigi and Jacy have to run on the hot pavement just to get their things back.

* The Viking Raiders vs. The Creed Brothers

Ivar and Julius Creed start the match for their respective teams. Erik tags in, knocks Brutus Creed down, Ivar clotheslines Julius, gets the tag, they down Brutus in the corner, Erik tags in, they hit the Viking Experience, and Julius kicks out! Julius catches Erik with an inside cradle for 2, Brutus tags in, knocks both men down, clubbing blows to the chest, knocks Ivar down, and hits a gutwrench suplex to Erik. Julius gutwrench suplexes his brother onto Erik, covers for 2, tags out, and Brutus Judo-throws his brother onto Erik. Ivar eventually gets the tag, hits a diving splash to the floor, and we take a break.

Tonight's a special night because we get another picture-in-picture. The Viking Raiders beat Brutus down in the ring, elbows in the corner, Erik tags in, and the battle continues. Erik puts him in a front chancery, and switches to a rear chinlock.

When we come back, Brutus gets to his feet, counters with a back suplex, and both sides make hot tags. Julius hits both men, tackles Ivar's legs, Erik gets the tag, Julius exploder suplexes him, Brutus tags in, double team powerbomb, covers for 2, Ivar throws Julius out the ring, and Brutus lifts Ivar over the ropes.

Julius powerslams Erik, Brutus tackles Ivar out the ring, Erik hits a hard knee to the jaw, Roderick Strong hits a drive-by knee strike, Julius hits the sliding clothesline, and the brothers get the victory! WINNERS: THE CREED BROTHERS!

The Creed Brothers just saw Strong's interference on the big screen and they are unhappy they won that way. Roderick Strong only cares that a win is a win.

Back in the parking lot, Santos Escobar wants to talk with AJ Galante and says he respects his wisdom. He says Tony D'Angelo is lucky to have him and would be lost without him, and with that the most dangerous place of NXT is proven once again as Legado show up to capture AJ Galante and drive off with him. Breaktime.

When we come back we get a video for Alba Fyre (f/k/a Kay Lee Ray) and she re-debuts next week. Briggs and Jensen were in the trainer's room earlier this week and the doctor says that his recovery time will be short, then asks why his right hand is stronger than his left. Really. He suggests it's because he's right handed, will put a cast on his right hand, and he will have 6-8 weeks of recovery. We get a reminder that the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament begins next week. Also next week, Toxic Attraction take on Roxanne Perez and Wendy Choo.

* NXT Championship: Joe Gacy vs. Bron Breakker {C}

Both men spill out the ring at the bell, but they get back in and scuffle around until Gacy exits the ring for a break. Breakker keeps him at bay, hiptosses him back in, backs him into a corner, no-sells the turnbuckles, Gacy hits a cheap shot, hits elbows to the head and rips at his face. Breakker tosses him out the ring, kicks him down, Gacy knocks him down, swings around for a clothesline on the floor and we take our final break.

Picture-in-picture here shows Gacy is control over the champion and locks in the body scissors. Breakker counters for mounted punches but Gacy controls the pace with a suplex, knees to the back, body slams him, covers for 2 and puts him in a crossface.

Gacy hits a urinage, covers for 2, hits a running legdrop, 2-count, applies an armbar, Breakker battles back, but Gacy headbutts him. Breakker drops him on the top rope, hits shoulder tackles, clotheslines him. Gacy hits a reverse DDT for 2, and the camera zooms in on a mysterious hooded figure in the back of the crowd.

Gacy side-steps him in a corner, hits an elbow drop to the back, Alabama Slam, sit-out powerbomb, and gets 2.5! Gacy vows to take the title from him, Breakker ducks the lariat, hits the SPEAR, and covers for 1-2-3! WINNER and STILL NXT Champion: BRON BREAKKER!

As Bron Breakker celebrates his victory retaining the NXT Championship, two mysterious hooded figures stand behind him on the apron, and that's how NXT goes off the air.
