Bron said that Briggs was a joke before Trick Williams came out to tell them that he had had enough. Dijak tried to taunt him before a brawl broke out, and we headed for another break.
Trick confronted Melo backstage after Hayes was seen asking Ava to do something. Trick asked if Melo texted Lexis King to take him out, and Melo said that he would 'never work with the s*cka.'
Ilja Dragunov and Baron Corbin were out next, and Corbin taunted the NXT champ, talking about his family to get him riled up. Dragunov took his jacket off and threatened to unleash on him before saying that he would never be able to take his title away and calling him a 'materialistic S.O.B.'
Corbin continued talking about Ilja's family before the champ flipped the table. Corbin turned his back on the champ to assert his dominance, but Ilja hugged him instead of taking him out, and the men's Iron Survivor competitors came in brawling as NXT went off the air.
