Enofe and Blade were backstage on NXT and Bron congratulated them before we headed for the main event.
Walter vs. Roderick Strong on NXT
Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.
Walter locked in a hold right away and Roddy powered through before the two hit very loud chops on each other. Roddy went down with a boot to the face before Bivens was caught by Walter on the apron and the distraction let Roderick get a dropkick.
Roddy broke out of a sleeper hold and caught Walter on the ropes before hitting a superplex for a near fall. After a few more hard-hitting moves, Strong reversed the Powerbomb but was driven into the corner before taking a big slam.
Walter finally managed to get the powerbomb and picked up the win on NXT.
Result: Walter def. Roderick Strong
Walter ushered in Imperium after the match and they attacked Roddy in the ring before the Creed Brothers also came in and joined the brawl as NXT went off the air.
