Xia is in control of the commercial break. She has Lyra in a rest hold, but the champ busts out of it. She hits a few kicks to Xia's chest. She goes for a third kick, but Xia catches it and loosely locks Lyra in a face lock that doesn't look like it hurts. Lyra fights back but is hit with another kick to the gut. Xia hits an Airplane Spin for a two-count.

A star-studded match is set for next week!

Lyra rushes to the ring to defend her title. She punches Xia, but Xia shrugs her off. Lyra quickly recovers to land a dropkick and a hip toss.

She lands her kick through the middle rope to ground Xia. The Champ goes to the top but is pulled down by Li. Her head hits the turnbuckle on the descent.

Jerry Lawler will pick next week's competitors in the Iron Survivor Challenge. It's also revealed that Cameron Grimes, Bronson Reed, and Johnny Gargano will join Wes Lee in the Fatal Four-way next week for a shot at the North American Title.

Arianna Grace cuts a promo, looking into a mirror, saying that her attack has gone unnoticed. She isn't happy that the NXT Universe enjoyed "such aggressive behavior." She adds that the NXT Universe stinks but that "she loves them all."

We shall see if art imitates life for Carmelo Hayes and Lexis King.

It looks like Lyra Valkyria will indeed attempt to defend her championship against Xia Li. It seemed like it should have been the slam-dunk main event anyway.

Blair Davenport joins the field for the Iron Survivor Challenge!

Gulak, Borne, and Dempsey attack Thorpe after the win. They work over his arm and stand tall to end the segment.

We then pivot to a pasta-filled extravaganza with several mooks handing Tony D envelopes that totally don't have money in them. One guy is short because of "inflation."

Tony D and Stacks wrap up the dinner after Adrianna Rizzo departs. They remark how she's turned into an enforcer. As they leave the building, Humberto and Angel blindside them before leaving in a Jeep. Tony D screams, "They want it, they got it!" before the confidantes save him and Stacks.

Thorpe goes on a run of offense, hitting several kicks and punches. He adds a big boot in the corner but is stopped when he goes for a side suplex. Dempsey stops the progress, locking in an Octopus-like submission. Thorpe counters out of it into a pinning combination for the win.

Result - Eddy Thorpe defeats Charlie Dempsey by pin.

Up next is Eddy Thorpe taking on Charlie Dempsey. Thorpe is outnumbered three to one as Drew Gulak and Myles Borne accompanied Dempsey to the match.

Dempsey hits a Butterfly Suplex with a bridge for a near fall. Thorpe and Dempsey exchange strikes until Dempsey kicks him in the gut.

Up next is a video package recounting the feud between Ilja Dragunov and Baron Corbin. Corbin narrates Ilja's part, saying that all he has in the US is the NXT Championship, as his family is across the world in Russia. Corbin says he has generational wealth, can kiss his family and wife every day, and that it has come easy for him.

After control in an armlock, Hail battles back. She goes for a Sunset Flip, but Davenport counters it into an armbar. Jacy cheers her on and even pushes the ropes closer so Hail can break the submission, but it doesn't work. Blair hits a kick to Hails's side. She leaves the ring to confront Jacy, allowing Thea to hit a Suicide Dive and a suplex on the outside.

Hail hits a Somersault but wastes time. She goes for a Trust Fall off the middle rope, but Davenport hits her in the back with her knees. She then hits a V-Trigger type knee strike to qualify for the Iron Survivor match.

Result - Blair Davenport defeats Thea Hail by pin.

Thea comes out to her usual Chase U music, but Jacy Jayne gives the 'cut the music' gesture, leading to Hail's own entrance theme. Hail lands a few counters until Blair lands a stomp on her arm. She lands a big boot for a two-count.

Josh Briggs privately celebrates his win. He's briefly encountered by Tiffany Stratton, who says, "See you at Deadline" before walking off. Brooks Jensen and Fallon Henley come over to congratulate him, but Henley is confused with the interaction with Stratton. He says, 'Let's go celebrate' to change the subject.

Up next is an expose on the Chase University scandal. The history is recounted, including HBK requesting that Andre Chase come and meet with him. So... nothing new, just a polished video package.

All it does is lead to the announcement that Andre Chase will address the situation next week. We then cut to Thea Hail, trying to keep her head on straight for her match against Blair Davenport. Jacy Jayne tries to calm her down by saying that she always has Thea's back. The two hug before heading out for the match.

Wes then says he'll do anything to get the title back. Dom announces that Lee will have to get past three former North American titleholders next week for another shot. He adds that if Lee doesn't win next week, he won't get another shot at the belt.

Dom says that Wes lost to Melo and Ilja two months ago and then came back and lost to Corbin. He doesn't deserve a title shot after a string of losses. Dom says he made the title more relevant than Lee ever did.

Lee says Cody and his team will take care of the Judgment Day at WarGames, but Dom will survive like a cockroach.

Wes Lee comes out to say he feels empty without the North American Title. He also mentions that they all got their gold, starting with the North American Championship. Lee wants one more shot at Dominik for the belt. Dom comes out to his usual chorus of boos.

The mind games continue as Lexis King continues to target Carmelo Hayes.

Lyra Valkyria also claimed that she'd defend the title tonight even after the cowardly attack from Xia Li earlier.

Those kids were friggin adorable!

Before Wes Lee addresses the NXT Universe, we see Von Wagner arriving at Mr. Stone's house for dinner. He brought some brownies but ate some before he got there. He greets Mrs. Stone and Stone's two adorable kids with ponytails like Von.

He sits between the kids, but all three have plates of spaghetti and kielbasa but no asparagus. It's cute how they have the kids cosplaying as Von. The kids look at Von's scar, but he doesn't get angry. The kids say the older kids bully them at school, and Von says he'll go there and take care of them.

Melo counters a chokeslam with a facebuster. He is then distracted by Lexis King, but he kicks King off the apron. Briggs then takes advantage to hit a boot, a clothesline, and a moonsault for the win.

Result - Josh Briggs defeats Carmelo Hayes by pin.

Briggs overpowers Melo, but Melo counters with a kick to Briggs' face in the corner. Both men hit the mat. Vic and Booker keep referring to Briggs as "a tag team specialist," which is funny. Melo hits a Crescent Kick, a rotating DDT, and a Scissors Kick for a two count. Booker chuckles on commentary after the kick.

Briggs hits a gutbuster on Hayes, adding a big boot in the corner and a Sidewalk Slam for two. The two trade strikes until Melo hits three chops. Briggs battles back with another side slam.

Briggs hits a shoulder block for a near fall. He tries to dump Melo on top of the announcer's table, but Melo escapes.

Melo then slaps Briggs, only angering the big man. He throws Melo into the ropes and hits a clothesline. He tosses Melo over the announce table as the show heads off to the commercial break.

Carmelo gets the upper hand first, hitting a dropkick to send Briggs to the outside. He tries to land more offense, but Briggs bashes his head on the ring apron. Briggs tries to re-enter the ring, but Hayes takes his legs out from under him.

The two fight on the outside. Briggs tries to get in the ring again, but Melo hits the Fadeaway Legdrop. He then hits a crossbody on Briggs on the outside. Melo climbs on top of the barricade, but Briggs catches him. He drops him on the apron and decks him in the face.

Before the next segment, Josh Briggs is preparing for his match with Carmelo Hayes. Brooks Jensen and Fallon Henley pump him up and say they'll have his back out there.

He says he appreciates the gesture but that JBL gave him "the biggest career opportunity." I guess that singles push is going ahead.

After a cheap shot from Humberto, Blade levels the playing field. Enofe comes in off the hot tag to hit an Enzuigiri on Garza. He goes for a 450 Splash, but Garza moves.

Humberto catches him and hits a powerbomb. Garza and Humberto land a pop-up kick for the win.

Result - Humberto Carrillo and Angel Garza defeat Edris Enofe and Malik Blade by pin.

Garza and Humberto land a Gory Bomb/Blockbuster combo finished with a kick for a two-count. Humberto looks like he borrowed Zack Ryder's old gear, the one-legged pair of pants.

Enofe and Blade take control early on until Garza makes a blind tag. He holds up the middle rope, causing Blade to fall through. He then hits a sliding knee with a visible knee slap for sound.

I guess Xia Li doesn't understand that she can't win the NXT Title if the match doesn't start. Way to blow your shot. Instead, we get Edris Enofe and Malik Blade taking on Humberto and Angel next.

As Lyra makes her entrance, she is blindsided by Xia Li. She lands one of her kicks to drop the unsuspecting champion. Security escorts Xia from the entrance area as people help Lyra up.

Before the next match, we see Tony D and Stacks relishing in becoming two-time NXT Tag Team Champions. They arrive at a restaurant for a surprise celebration with their "compadres."

Arianna Rizzo and her interesting accent give a toast to another successful title reign. We then shift to Trick Williams trying to hype Melo up for his qualifying match. Melo is noticeably conflicted with his feelings. Trick says that since he (Melo) was ringside last week for him, he'll be ringside for Melo tonight.

What a surprise ... Noam Dar lands another cheap shot between rounds of a Heritage Cup defense.

After the match, JBL reveals his picks for tonight's Iron Survivor qualifying matches. He picks Carmelo Hayes and Josh Briggs because Hayes is the best, and Briggs is a big man who reminds JBL of Kane, Undertaker, and other prominent men. He then chooses Blair Davenport because she reminds JBL of himself and Thea Hail.

Some shenanigans take place after the match. Lash decks Maxxine and Otis and Oro stand-off. Maxxine then slaps Lash, causing her to fall into Otis' arms. Her acting is... not great.

Result - Noam Dar retains the Heritage Cup due to a historic tie (Dar 1, Gable 1).

Dar lands a short elbow for a two-count. He goes for his flying Enzuigiri but misses. He rolls Gable up for a two-count. Dar gets another near fall. Gable lands a Razor's Edge into a DDT for a two-count.

He goes for a moonsault but is met by Dar's feet. Gable anticipates it and puts Dar in an Ankle Lock. He Grapevines the leg, but Dar only taps out after time expires.

After 6 Rounds: Dar 1, Gable 1.

Gable starts Round 5 with a Somersault Kick, followed by the Chaos Theory for a pin in Round 5.

After Round 5: Dar 1, Gable 1.

As usual, Meta Four lands a cheap shot between the rounds. Dar rushes Gable with a few strikes and a near fall. Gable counters with a Brainbuster, but he goes to the top instead of going for the pin.

Dar catches him as he goes for another Flying Headbutt. Dar locks in a Triangle Choke, but Gable slams him to break it, getting a near fall.

Dar and Gable trade submission attempts, with Dar getting a Rear Naked Choke. Gable shrugs Dar off but gets leveled with a knee from Dar for another two-count. The two end up slapping each other on their knees.

After Round 4 - Dar 1, Gable 0.

Gable lands a suplex in the early stages of Round 4. He hits a flying headbutt for a near fall. They land on the ring apron, with Gable trying to hit a German Suplex off of it.

Dar trips Gable with a sweep before hitting a modified Flatliner on the mats. Gable beats the 10-count but gets hit with a back elbow for a two-count.

Two-thirds of Round 3 happens during the commercial break, so nothing is missed as usual. The two combatants climb to the top for a superplex at the end of the round.

After Round 3 - Dar 1, Gable 0.

Gable gets a few pin attempts in the second round. Dar hits a few strikes but Hotdogs it after landing them. Gable locks in an armbar while tangled in the ropes. And... there it is.

As Dar moves out of the way in the corner, Oro Mensah lands a kick to Gable's head to give Dar an opening for a kick and a pin.

After Round 2 - Dar 1, Gable 0.

As usual in Heritage Cup matches, the first round is a bunch of counters and counters and counters. Gable gets Dar in the Ankle Lock, but time expires.

0-0 after Round 1.
