Ted DiBiase was out for the match and joined the NXT commentary team. Grimes hit some good early offense but a distraction from LA Knight let Briggs take him down. Grimes hit his flying crossbody power slam and then the Cave In for an extremely quick win over Briggs.

InDex was dominating the match and were delivering a double beatdown before Franky Monet grabbed Dexter by the feet and tried to pull him out. Lumis instead brought the former IMPACT Wrestling star into the ring and the referee caught Monet and sent her off backstage.

Stone was hit with a spinebuster after he tried to negotiate with Dexter to get him to back off. Hartwell almost got the pin but Stone dragged her away from the attempt. Kamea got a Boston Crab in but Indi found the ropes.
