Will InDex live on? LA Knight continues to torture Cameron Grimes

Dakota Kai turned on NXT Women's Champion Raquel González last week. Kai claimed that Raquel would be nothing without her. She was responsible for Raquel capturing the title, and has been there for every single title defense. Without Kai in her corner, González won't be champion for long.

NXT Breakout Tournament Opening Round: Trey Baxter vs Joe Gacy

Joe Gacy ran over Trey Baxter in the early goings, but escaped a running powerslam and sent him to the floor with a dropkick. Gacy caught a suicide dive, bouncing Baxter off the ropes for a forearm.

Back in the ring, Gacy's smashmouth style hammered Baxter into the mat. Forcing Baxter against the ropes, he was battered by a trio of deadly clotheslines. The suplex earned Gacy a two-count.

Baxter responded with a springboard dropkick, followed by a pair of suicide dives and a Fosbury flop. Gacy fought out of a sleeper, though, cannonballing into the corner with Baxter on his back.

Gacy took Baxter up top, but Baxter sent him down to the mat. A 450 foot stomp sent Baxter to the semi-finals of the NXT Breakout Tournament.

Baxter will face Odyssey Jones in the semis while Carmelo Hayes battles Duke Hudson.

We saw the NXT Women's Tag Champions at a sushi restaurant. Io Shirai ordered something, with Zoey Stark just saying she'd have what her partner had. Though Shirai ate hers, Stark hid hers under the table and across the restaurant. Shirai thanked the waitress and even hugged her, to Stark's surprise.

Shirai left Stark with the bill. When Stark asked the waitress if she knew the former NXT Women's Champion, she said they just spoke the same language.
