The NXT North American Champion was nearly speechless with the return of a "Pretty" familiar face

The blue-chipper picked up his first win against wrestling royalty

Sean Maluta vs Mansoor

Maluta took Mansoor to the ground, but the high flyer was easily able to escape the hold before sending Maluta overhead with a hurricanrana and a dropkick. Maluta answered with a spinning heel kick and a running boot, followed up by a Samoan drop.

Mansoor tried to pick himself up in the corner but was met with a running knee, followed by a leaping Code Breaker from the top rope. Mansoor kicked out and was caught in a neck crank, but escaped again and rocked Maluta with several forearms and a springboard neckbreaker. Mansoor finished off Maluta with a spinning reverse suplex-style facebuster.

Results: Mansoor defeated Sean Maluta via pinfall.

Backstage, Cathy Kelly was waiting outside William Regal's office while a commotion was heard from inside. The NXT GM was arguing with the Undisputed Era, who were furious about being jumped by Riddle and Gargano earlier in the night.

After they stormed off, Regal informed Kelly that Riddle would take on Roderick Strong at NXT TakeOver: XXV. However, tonight would see the King of Bros team up with Johnny Wrestling to take on the Undisputed Era's Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly.
