El Vagabundo was quite noticeably Elias Samson, a man who had been asked to leave NXT after he lost to Kassius Ohno. Vagabundo played a song but was stopped by Lorcan, who said that everyone knew that he was The Drifter. Lorcan asked Vagabundo to drift away, and El Vagabundo replied with a flurry of kicks. Vagabundo body slammed Lorcan and tossed him outside the ring immediately, as the crowd chanted his name. At that point, we went into a break.

We came in from commercial to see Vagabundo deliver a running knee to the side of Lorcan’s face. Vagabundo seized advantage with punches and chops and even slammed against Lorcan in the corner. Vagabundo continued with a suplex and a chin lock. Lorcan evaded Vagabundo’s offence in the corner and delivered 7 running knee/hip shots in the corner. Vagabundo fought back and lifted Lorcan for a body slam, but was unmasked in the process. A rolling blockbuster from Lorcan put away Elias Samson for the three count.
