The winners hoist the titles of the men they just defeated. Foreshadowing much?

Result: Legado Del Fantasma defeats MSKushida by pin.

The medical team comes out to check on Kushida. Legado does a flurry of strikes in the corner on Lee. Legado hits some tandem offense for a near fall.

That leaves Wes Lee by his lonesome against Legado. He tries to fight back but Wilde pounds on him.

We pan out from the interview to see that O'Reilly was watching it. A promo for the Diamond Mine airs. Who could that be?????!

He also says he's upset that people are thinking that O'Reilly took his spot. but he says wherever he goes next, he'll be the best. Interesting.

Cole says he's been carrying NXT on his back for the last four years. "Kross is good but is he great yet?" Cole says and that he "Kross" hasn't had to deal with him yet.

Next up is the interview with Adam Cole BAY BAY.

In the ring, Jessi Kamea and Aliyah celebrate as if they won the titles.

Out come Shotzi and Ember to fight Robert Stone Brand. Before they can get in the ring, some gifts from someone are waiting for them ringside. Before they can get in the ring, Candice and Indi blindside them.

We go back to Cameron Grimes in the jewelry store. He's settled on a watch but "it's not a million-dollar watch" says Hall-of-Famer Ted DiBiase. He does his signature laugh before exiting.

Their tactics may be questionable, but their wins are irrefutable. #IMPERIUM picks up a victory over @WWEMaverick & Killian Dain on #WWENXT. @Marcel_B_WWE @FabianAichner @TheWWEWolfe pic.twitter.com/2YpNmSzMJy

After the match, Pete Dunne is saying that the entire NXT roster is afraid of him after he proved he's the toughest. Says he can go after any title he wants, calling out everyone from WALLY to Karrion Kross.

Inside the ring, Maverick and Aichner battle it out. Imperium hits their finisher on Maverick for the win.
Result: Imperium defeats Maverick/Dain by pin.

After sending Barthel outside, Dain follows but is kicked in the face. Barthel tells Wolfe to hit him a chair while he distracts the ref. Wolfe hesitates . . . Interesting.

Dain waits on the apron for the tag but is pulled off the apron by Barthel as Drake attempts to tag out. they stomp on Drake in their corner as Dain comes in and houses both opponents.

Drake Maverick's belt falls off mid-ring as he's down . . .

Barthel stands over Drake smiling as we come back from break. They stop him from tagging his partner in as Drake kicks out at two. Aichner swings Drake around by the seat of his big boy jeans.

Dain tags the little guy in and Drake is shocked. He hits a few basement dropkicks to Barthel before Barthel takes over. It doesn't last long as Drake hits a Hurricanrana. Drake goes to the top but gets pulled off by Barthel. In comes Aichner.

Dain asserts his power early on but Aichner tags Barthel in. He jumps on Dain's back but Dain sends him outside.

Drake is still acting paranoid but Dain starts the match. against Fabian "looks like a grown baby in a man's body" Aichner.

Up next is Imperium vs. Dain/Maverick.

Reed stares the champ down after the win.

He follows Indi around the ring and she gets in it. She stands by the ropes with Lumis on the apron. Theory comes storming off the ropes and Lumis pushes Indi out of the way. Gargano tries to interfere but Reed pops him one. Reed goes for the Tsunami off the top rope and lands it.
Result: Bronson Reed defeats Austin Theory by pin.

Theory hits a super kick and then tries to end things, but Reed counters it into a suplex. After a near fall, here comes Lumis down the ramp.

The height, the landing, the excruciating pain. 😬 #WWENXT @bronsonreedwwe @austintheory1 pic.twitter.com/6zGCnhZXSg

Reed stops the momentum and gets a near fall. He picks reed up and attempts to hoist Reed onto his shoulders. Reed throws him into the rings and hits a Samoan Drop as Indi Hartwell looks on forlorn that "Lumis" sent flowers to someone else.

Reed gains control with a press slam and some other offense. He hits a splash in the corner and a chokeslam followed by a Senton. Two count.

Theory still has the momentum back from the break.

Without a doubt, @JohnnyGargano is @austintheory1's biggest cheerleader. @CandiceLeRae @indi_hartwell @bronsonreedwwe pic.twitter.com/f5zAJ31DHx

The Way is ringside to distract Reed and the Colossal One has a staredown with Johnny Wrestling. Theory hits a move on Reed that knocks him out of the ring. Candice Wrestling distracts him so Johnny can superkick Reed. Lumia should be showing up soon . . .

Theory tries a shoulder block off the ropes but Reed literally shrugs it off, sending Theory flying. Hilarious.
