We got footage of L.A. Knight, who debuted for NXT at TakeOver: Vengeance Day on Sunday. Knight said that everyone that comes into NXT is considered "the hottest free agent." However, with him, it's true. Now he's off the market and looking to solidify himself as THE man on the Black and Gold Brand.

Stark missed a big stomp, giving Feroz a chance to light up the newest NXT star with a dropkick and judo throw. Feroz seemingly only woke Stark up. Stark dropped her face-first on the top turnbuckle, following up with a straight kick to the jaw.
A half-and-half toss suplex sent Feroz across the ring onto her neck, and a sliding knee strike nearly knocked her out cold. Stark finished Feroz off by spinning her in mid-air and rocking her with a knee to the jaw.
Results: Zoey Stark defeated Valentina Feroz via pinfall on NXT.
Grade: B
We saw a message from Karrion Kross and Scarlett for Santos Escobar. Clearly, Kross wasn't facing Escobar for the gold, but if he failed to show up next week, he would lose the title. Kross said that you can't outrun time or fate, and whether it's next week or even if Escobar continued to duck him, he'd eventually have to pay the toll. Tick tock.
Pete Dunne, Oney Lorcan, and Danny Burch vs Finn Balor, Kyle O'Reilly, and Roderick Strong on NXT
Oney Lorcan kicked things off with Kyle O'Reilly in the NXT main event. The multi-time NXT Tag Team Champion dominated the Boston Bruiser, taking him to his corner to tag Finn Balor.
O'Reilly and Balor trusted one another but kept Roddy Strong out of the match. They worked over Lorcan's arm for a while, but Lorcan was eventually able to get to the Guvnor of NXT. At this point, Balor did get tagged out by Strong, though it more than likely wasn't what he was looking for. Danny Burch took Strong to his corner, allowing Pete Dunne to enter the ring.
Pete Dunne dumped Strong to the floor, and Strong's partners tried to make the save as the NXT Tag Champions looked to drive him into the steps. The ref put a stop to it, and Strong fought his way to Kyle O'Reilly after a great backbreaker on Dunne. O'Reilly battered Burch and then hit two dragon screws on Dunne and Lorcan. O'Reilly, though, was nearly knocked out with a forearm by Dunne as he flew off the apron.
Dunne took over during the break, attempting to weaken and snap the limbs and fingers of O'Reilly. Dunne and the NXT Tag Champs took turns tearing apart O'Reilly throughout the break and into the final segment of the night. When O'Reilly made it to his corner, Strong was taken out by the opposition, leaving the NXT Champion as the only man to tag out to.
Finn Balor lit up all his opponents, coming in like a house of fire. Strong dropped Lorcan with a wrecking ball dropkick, leaving Balor and Dunne in the ring. Balor countered the Bitter End and dropped Dunne with the sling blade. The shotgun dropkick connected, but it sent Dunne into the referee.
Adam Cole then appeared to send Balor into the ref again. After that, Cole spiked O'Reilly on the steel steps with a brainbuster. Oney Lorcan crawled in as the smoke cleared and picked up the title to attack Balor. Strong laid him out, but when he went to hand it to Balor, The Prince hit a blind Pele kick, assuming it was one of his opponents.
Pete Dunne took advantage of the confusion, planting Balor with the Bitter End.
Results: Pete Dunne defeated Finn Balor via pinfall on NXT.
Grade: A-
Adam Cole attacked Balor after the match and held the NXT Title over the prone body of the champion.
