A Street Profits video from this past Monday showed the former champions in New York. The Profits were upset about not holding the titles anymore but decided the best way to kick of NXT on USA Network was to challenge the Undisputed Era for the gold.
Raul Mendoza vs Cameron Grimes
Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE
Grimes tried to end the match fast with an early pinfall, but Mendoza escaped and rolled Grimes around the ring with a schoolboy. Grimes escaped as well, but couldn't keep up with Mendoza's speed, who sent Grimes overhead with a running hurricanrana.
Mendoza ended up crashing to the ground outside as he attempted a springboard, getting taken out by a dropkick. Back inside, a clothesline set Grimes up for a near fall. Mendoza was forced to the mat with Grimes pushing down on his shoulder. He broke away, though, and sent Grimes into the corner with a series of kicks. A running single knee to the jaw left Grimes stumbling to the middle of the ring where a rope-walking dropkick gave Mendoza a near fall.
Grimes slung the middle rope into Mendoza's face as he crawled away for safety. Mendoza responded with a high kick to the head. A phoenix splash from Mendoza didn't connect, and Grimes drove him into the mat with a running double stomp.
Results: Cameron Grimes defeated Raul Mendoza via pinfall.
Backstage, Candice LeRae entered William Regal's office, demanding to know why Io Shirai was placed in the triple threat match for a shot at Shayna Baszler's Women's Championship. Regal responded by putting LeRae in the match and added that if Rhea Ripley won tonight, there would be no reason why she shouldn't be added to the #1 contender's bout as well.
