Tonight’s episode of NXT was supposed to close with a tag team match featuring Velveteen Dream & Keith Lee taking on Adam Cole and Roderick Strong of The Undisputed Era. However, just as the match began, Damian Priest snuck to the ring, and delivered a vicious assault to Lee that forced him to leave.

Just as it looked as if Dream would have to take on Cole and Strong alone, he got help from a surprising figure. Dexter Lumis – the mysterious superstar who recently began appearing on NXT – popped up at ringside, seemingly out of nowhere. After offering his hand to Dream, he was tagged in, and proceeded to help take down Undisputed Era. With some new momentum, Dream eventually tagged back in, and was able to land a Purple Rainmaker on Cole for the win.
