Lyra says she's always been mentally and physically stronger than Perez and that after Vengeance Day, Perez will always be behind her. Ava breaks things up before they come to blows. Lyra and Roxy sign the contract but face off in front of the table.

Lyra is remarkedly taller than Perez. They shake hands, and Lyra leaves the ring. As she does, Tatum Paxley comes out from under the table to put Roxanne through it. Paxley runs to hug Lyra, but she pushes her down to the ground before asking her 'what the heck she is doing.'

Roxy adds that she had to pick herself up and jump through every hoop to get a rematch for the title she had never lost. Lyra says Roxy had a great run, but she has replaced her at the top of the division. She adds that the last person she needs to prove that this division is hers too is Perez. Roxy adds that Lyra will lose at Vengeance Day, but will she handle all that comes with losing, like the fans being fickle and having to rebuild herself?

Ava introduces both women as they come. Roxanne says that she knows they both respect each other, and this is a Stand & Deliver caliber match. Perez says Lyra has had a great first year, but it's familiar because she was where Lyra was a year ago.

Correction - Ava is the NXT GM, not the assistant NXT GM, as I mentioned earlier.

Another vignette for the No Quarter Catch Crew airs with them praising the sport and not the 'entertainment' side of the sport they love. They again mention the 'No Quarter' clause, which lets them pick whichever member of the group will wrestle. Trick and Carmelo Hayes argue backstage, with Melo yelling at Trick to "wake up" to what Ilja is doing.

Briggs clotheslines Trick right after he gets up from the pin. Melo and Ilja stare daggers at each other. Officials have to hold Ilja back from Melo. Trick isn't happy that Melo came out. Backstage, Jacy and Thea are moping around because Chase U shut down. Lexis King walks up to ask how he can improve things. He disgusts the girls.

Riley Osborne comes over to tell King to buzz off. King uses a Vanilla Ice line, meaning the ladies should 'drop the zero and get with a hero.' He walks off as Hail drools over Osborne. He says he wants to talk to her alone later. Jacy tries to tell her to slow down and have some restraint.

The two men run into each other. Trick lands in front of Ilja at commentary. Briggs goes for a big boot on Trick but hits Ilja instead. Trick lands a roundhouse kick on Briggs. Williams climbs to the top, but Ilja tries to get in the ring.

Noam Dar vs. Von Wagner for the Heritage Cup and Elektra Lopez vs. Lola Vice are set for next week's show. The last semifinal match between the LWO and TrickMelo also goes down.

Lyra Valkyria looks over footage on a tablet until Tatum Paxley comes in. She says tagging with her last week was the highlight of her career.

Lyra tries to say that their "partnership" isn't working because her focus needs to be on Roxanne Perez right now. Paxley accepts the explanation and will likely attack lil Roxy.

In the back, Edris Enofe and Malik Blade are moping about not winning in the Dusty Classic last week. Brinley Reece runs in like a ball of positive energy. She says we only lose if we don't learn. She also says that next week, they will write down five things they liked about their match and five things they didn't.

Edris tries to say they don't want/need her help, but she convinces them differently with a loud chop to Enofe's chest. She cartwheels out of the ring before Blade says, 'We've tried everything else, so this couldn't hurt.'

Lopez gets in the ring to 'burn Vice City down to the ground' right now. She tackles her over the furniture as refs try to keep them separated.
