Io Shirai was asked backstage why she didn't help Rhea Ripley and Ember Moon against Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez. The NXT Women's Champion said they weren't her problem. The belt is her one and only problem.
The Undisputed Era was backstage cheering up Kyle O'Reilly after his loss to Finn Balor at NXT TakeOver: 31. They were proud of him and said he put on the match of a lifetime.

Ever-Rise vs Killian Dain and Drake Maverick on NXT
As we all probably assumed, Killian Dain hated the new theme song. Drake Maverick asked for the tag, and Dain nearly chopped his hand off.
Maverick started the match with Chase Parker. The Conspiracy Theorists of NXT dominated Drake Maverick momentarily, but a big heel kick to Matt Martel turned things around. As Dain put his hand out...barely...for the tag, Martel yanked Maverick back for a rear clothesline.
Dain broke up a pinfall attempt. When Martel called him fat, he took matters into his own hand, dragging Maverick to their corner for the tag. Dain cut Martel in half with the Divide.
Dain planted Parker and set up for the Vader Bomb, but Maverick tagged in looking to get the win. Furious, Dain blasted Parker with a pump knee strike and powerbombed his own partner onto Parker for the win.
Results: Drake Maverick and Killian Dain defeated Ever-Rise via pinfall on NXT.
Grade: C
Drake Maverick tried to get Killian Dain to celebrate and dance with him. It uh...It went about as well as you'd expect.
We got a Toni Storm vignette with the former NXT UK Champion explaining how she'd essentially recharged her batteries and was ready to get back to business.
