Winner: Mason Rook & Kam Hendrix via Pinfall 

– We saw DarkState preparing for tonight’s main event. They ran through The Hardy Boyz, The Bouncy Boys and The Belly Boys. Tonight, DarkState has got the chance to become 3X NXT Tag Team Champions. Cutler James says that this is the first time he hasn’t earned Dion Lennox and Saquon Shugars arguing with each other in a month. They got to create history. When Osiris Griffin mentioned last week that, if Lennox and Shugars if didn’t win tonight, they were going to make a change. What did he mean by that? Shugars says that Lennox shouldn’t trip, because that doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters right now is DarkState going back to what they do, and that’s walking down this entire roster, striking fear in their hearts. Shugars knows that he and Lennox have been having problems, but it’s all love, because at the end of the day, they have each other’s back. There’s only one thing left to do, get back what belongs to them, because when DarkState strikes, ain’t nobody safe.

– We got a video recap of Kelani Jordan beating Kendal Grey in the main event of last week’s NXT.

– During the commercial breaks, multiple WWE PC Talent came out to cut promos in front of the audience testing out their new gimmicks. WWE NIL Signee Meghan Walker was a standout.

– WWE LJN Wave 2 Action Figures are now available exclusively at Target.

Lola Vice, Izzi Dame, Kelani Jordan, Kendal Grey Segment 

Kelani Jordan: Cut the music. Cut my music. Can somebody tell me what a girl has to do around here? I walked through those Performance Center doors, and in nine months, I was a main player on NXT, which makes me the fastest home-grown talent in all of WWE. Last week, I beat Kendal Grey, mind you someone that you guys think should already be in the Hall Of Fame. So, I’m gonna tell it like it is. I’m better than all those women they called up to Raw and SmackDown. I’m better than Fatal Influence. I’m better than Blake Monroe. I’m better than Sol Ruca. I’m better than any women sitting in the back listening, right now, I am. I am the only woman to make Lola Vice tap out. Not just pin her, not catch her on a bad night, but I made our current NXT Women’s Champion tap out. That alone should’ve put me at the front of the line, a long time ago. But the crazy thing is, watch this, is I never even gotten a chance to go for the NXT Women’s Championship, never. Not never, not once, never. Instead, I’ve had to sit back and watch all these women who aren’t half as athletic, half as gifted, half as complete as I am, fumble opportunities, left and right. People love to call words like potential when it comes to me, but potential is for other girls who are still trying to figure it out, and I’ve already done that. I already done it. So, it’s my time to get a chance at the NXT Women’s Championship, because let me tell you, everybody is getting way too comfortable overlooking me. But that’s the easy way out, because it’s easier than realizing that The Standout is the most underrated woman in the whole NXT Locker Room.

Izzi Dame: Oh, Kelani, Kelani, Kelani. Are you seriously trying to jump the line, again? Did you forget that I’m the one that actually pinned Lola? And then I was the one, right here, that booted her head off. Point being, if anyone is gonna get a shot at the NXT Women’s Championship, it’s me. So, why don’t you do what you do best, and get your ass to the back of the line, Kelani?

Kelani Jordan: Oh my god, that’s so funny.

Lola Vice: Both of you, stop wasting everyone’s time. Yeah, you both had wins, but I’ve won when it mattered, which is actually why I’m the NXT Women’s Champion.

Izzi Dame: By luck. Not for long.

Lola Vice: Kelani, you talk a lot. You want this, but you couldn’t handle these (fists), remember? And Izzi, you’re the one who picked a fight with me, which is why I’m gonna start with you. Last week, you hit me in the back of the head, and you thought you were gonna get away with it? I said I was going to be a fighting champion, so I’m gonna give you your 15 seconds of fame. Next week, me and you for my NXT Women’s Championship.

Izzi Dame: And New!

Kelani Jordan: Of course, Lola, you would put the title on the line against this one.

Lola Vice: Mama, after I’m done with her, I’m going to remind you.

Izzi Dame: You gotta get through me first.

Kendal Grey: Hold on, hold on, hold on. Lola, my eyes are still on the NXT Women’s Championship, but you, Kelani.

Kelani Jordan: I already beat you last week, and I already know what you’re gonna say. So, let me get this straight, it’s gonna be Izzi, then you, and then me? I don’t think so.

Kendal Grey: Well, I don’t think so, either. I mean, I don’t think you’ll even get close to the NXT Women’s Championship, because you’re going to deal with some bigger issues.

Wren Sinclair attacks Jordan with a crutch. Lola Vice kicks Izzi Dame out of the ring to close this segment.

– We see Sean Legacy talking to Dorian Van Dux in the backstage area. Legacy is not happy about Tate Wilder being overzealous and costing them their 6-Man Tag Team Match against The Birthright. DVD says that Legacy is too good to let one lost keep him down. Robert Stone told Legacy that he’ll be facing DVD in a WWE Speed Championship Tournament Match next week. Legacy and DVD start bickering with each other as Romeo Moreno and Noam Dar walks by. Noam says that Romeo doesn’t need to be nervous, he’ll probably get better a result than he had last week. Romeo said that Noam had Jackson Drake’s number, and if it wasn’t for Myka Lockwood, he would’ve won that match. Noam says that he’s trying to play catchup. Romeo still looks up to Noam and his resume. Romeo says that it would mean a lot to him if Noam was his corner man tonight in his match with Tristian Angels. Noam accepts Romeo’s offer.

– Coming out of the commercial break, we see Layla Diggs and other members of the NXT Women’s Division watching the Nattie/Jaida Parker confrontation on Busted Open Radio last Thursday. Jaida is still looking for Nattie. Layla says that Nattie is not here, and it’s funny how Jaida always talk people running their mouths when she does the exact the same thing. Jaida said that she liked Layla before she started opening her mouth. The difference between Jaida and Nattie is that Ms. Parker will talk smack to your face while Nattie has to stand behind a microphone calling her soft. Layla says that she respects Nattie and her resume. Layla points out that Jaida has lost 2-3 matches, and now she thinks the whole world is against her. Jaida tells Layla that she’ll give her the opportunity to step in the ring next week, so she can drag her ass all over The PC. Layla accepts Jaida’s challenge.

Shiloh Hill: Well, good day, Mr. England. I mean, you said I could never outclass you, but look at me now.

Tristian Angels: You are the definition of a disgrace.

Shiloh Hill: Oh, good heavens, very impolite. However, I beg to differ, which is why I’ve officially started my campaign to crown myself as Mr. NXT. So, let’s start things off with asking the crowd. Do you guys want to see me, Shiloh Hill, as Mr. NXT? Or do you want to see this guy?

Tristian Angels: How did you get that?

Shiloh Hill: By the way, your top hat sucks. One more time for Shiloh Hill, and one more time for this Bumbling Bafoon.

Tristian Angels: Order, Order, Order, Order! Unfortunately for you and half these people, neither of your opinions are valid. You are incomparable. It’s impossible for you to understand real beauty. And mark my works, Shiloh Hill, you will pay dearly for attempting to ruin my perfect in-ring debut.

Sarah Schreiber: Kam Hendrix, a very impressive debut win with Mason Rook tonight. The two of you took down the NXT Champion, Tony D’Angelo and pinned the NXT North American Champion, Myles Borne. Now, do you think this lined you up for a title match against Myles Borne in the near future.

Match number one, and Kam Hendrix is already putting himself in the record books. Now, everyone could see quickly why they call me, Show Time. Now, I can go for the North American Champion, like you said, but Kam Hendrix is in NXT to be the number one superstar, and the best way of becoming number one is by winning the big one.

Hell, without me, you wouldn’t even be out here right now calling a shot, let alone calling your shot at a champion. So, what I’m gonna do, I’m gonna give you a favor, and I’m gonna give you a chance, a chance to give credit to the man who’s big, who’s bad.

Kam Hendrix: I don’t know what to tell you, big boy. No one is even gonna remember you were in the match, just that Kam Hendrix beat the champions. You better get with it or get lost, because it’s everyone for themselves, big boy.

Hendrix pats Rook on his stomach.
