Backstage on NXT, Trick Williams was concerned about looking like a sidekick and wanted to face Ilja Dragunov in a singles match to further his own career.
Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio were out next, and they were interrupted by Dragon Lee. Lee wanted to tell Dom that Rey was the greatest luchador in history and that Dom was nothing without his 'mami.'
Lee wanted a title match next week, and Dom accepted it before Rhea said that she will be there too. Lee said that he won't be there alone either before Rey showed up on the Titantron. Rey said that he would be in Dragon Lee's corner next week to help him with the NXT North American Title.
Wes Lee was furious about losing thrice in a row, and Carmelo Hayes told him to chill out. Noam Dar showed up with his fake trophy and Oro Mensah before a brawl broke out between them and Lee & Hayes.
Chase U was in a backstage interview, and Thea Hail was understandably unhappy about Andre Chase forfeiting the title match for her on Sunday. Baron Corbin came in and tried to tell Hail that she wasn't good enough before Andre got in his face and challenged him to a match.

Meta Four were backstage when Tyler Bate came in and challenged Dar to a match next week.
The Schism was out next with some new masked members. They wanted to get to the bottom of who attacked the Dyad last week. All the new members were asked to take off their masks, and one of the guys turned out to be Ikemen Jiro, who we haven't seen in a while.
The last two masked guys were in the ring, and the Dyad attacked them. It turned out not to be the Creed Brothers who they thought it would be. The real Creed Brothers showed up on the Titantron, and they were pretending to be on vacation while clearly sitting in front of a green screen.
Joe Gacy called for all of his followers to find the Creed Brothers, essentially putting out a bounty for the two.
Cora Jade stormed into the locker room and said that she was leaving.
