We returned to NXT Million Dollar Champion LA Knight and his butler Cameron Grimes. Knight had a massive plot of land that he expected Grimes to mow. He assumed Grimes would hate it, but Grimes wasn't bothered whatsoever.
During the break, Indi Hartwell came to the ring to pick Dexter Lumis up and carry him off. They didn't get far as Hartwell fell to the ground. However, they still nearly ended up with a kiss. Candice LeRae ran down to ringside, barely breaking them up before they could lock lips.
