-Danny Burch vs Oney Lorcan in a rematch from the last set of TV tapings. The finish came when Lorcan locked the Boston Crab on Burch, but Burch reversed it and scored the pin fall. The two showed a sign of respect after the match despite the fight they had at the last tapings.
-Andrade “Cien” Almas with Thea Trinidad defeated No Way Jose. After the match, Trinidad got on the mic, and said that Almas deserves the spotlight in NXT. She added that if the brand’s “golden boy”, Johnny Gargano, wants an opponent for NXT Takeover Brooklyn, he’s got one.
Out next is William Regal for a contract signing between Asuka and Ember Moon for their NXT Takeover Brooklyn match. Moon puts over Asuka’s title reign, and it lasting longer than Goldberg’s historic streak, but that she is now better than she has ever been thanks to facing Asuka in the past. Asuka then signs the contract and starts running down Ember Moon in Japanese, to end the segment.
-The Street Profits, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins, defeated Lars Sullivan & Chris Silvio. Another quick squash match, with Ford hitting the frog splash for the win.
-Ruby Riot defeated Billie Kay via pin fall. After the match, Peyton Royce got on the mic and ran down Riot and her look, saying that a “gross, tatted out” person like her would never be iconic in NXT.
-Drew McIntyre vs Roderick Strong. Good back and forth match until Bobby Roode hits the ring and attacks both men. Roode slammed Strong into the steel steps, then hit the Glorious DDT on Drew McIntyre. The taping ended with Roode standing over McIntyre screaming this is “his NXT.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
