NXT saw three 205 Live Superstars go head-to-head on Tuesday night as Ashante "Thee" Adonis squared off with the OGs. However, Top Dolla, a man well over that weight limit, effortlessly stacked both opponents on his shoulders for a double Wasteland slam.

Dolla dragged Daivari into the corner for Adonis to take over. Ashante hit a picture-perfect dropkick, dropping Daivari Dinero to the mat. Dolla tagged in and crushed Daivari in the corner as Adonis hit the Long Kiss Goodnight superkick on Nese.

Dolla finished the match, and Hit Row's NXT debut, with a fireman's carry brainbuster.

Results: Hit Row defeat Nese & Daivari.

Grade: B-

Hit Row bragged about their dominant performance tonight. However, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott let it be known that he would be focusing on that NXT North American Championship match tonight. Swerve hinted that he'd be the next man up, regardless of who walked out on top.

As far as the NXT Women's Titles, Shotzi and Ember will face NXT Women's Champion Raquel Gonzalez and Dakot Kai next week to determine the No.1 contenders for the championships.
