NXT kicked off with Fatal Influence talking about this Sunday’s champion vs champion match where Jacy Jayne will take on the TNA Knockouts champion Masha Slamovich. They were interrupted by Masha, Sol Ruca and Zaria who started a massive brawl.  As a result of the melee, there will be a six woman tag team match later in the evening. 

Match One

Six Man Tag Match:

TNA Heavyweight Champion Trick Williams, Mike Santana and Joe Hendry Versus Dark State Ends In A No Contest. 

The makeshift team of future opponents wasted no time and attacked Dark State before the bell even sounded. Once the match started, Williams took control by slamming and overpowering the men he is suspected of being in business with. Throughout the match, Santana and Hendry did not want to tag in Williams who got duel right hands for addressing the lack of cohesion. Before any alliances could be confirmed or disproven, TNA’s group ‘The System’ came out and attacked Darkstate forcing the official to throw out the match.  

Match Two

Evolve Women’s Championship Match:

Kali Armstrong (Champion) Defeated Karmen Petrovic Via Disqualification

The first few moments of the match were fairly even, with Karmen utilizing her speed advantage and Armstrong demonstrating her very raw power. Before either woman could gain any real momentum, an irate Jordynne Grace stormed the ring and laid out both women starting with Armstrong giving her the victory via disqualification. 

Jordynne Grace took over the ring and demanded that Blake Monroe come out and  tell her why she betrayed her at WWE Evolution. Monroe did not come out, opting to send The Juggernaunt a very disrespectful video message “inviting” Grace to sit front row next week to watch her match. This further angered Jordynne who flattened members of NXT management Stevie Turner and Robert Stone.   

Backstage, Trick Williams disrespected the members of ‘Team Undertaker’ from  LFG. It would later be announced that the Undertaker will confront Willams  next week in Houston.

Backstage, NXT GM Ava told Jasper Troy that due to his attack on Ricky Saints at the Great American Bash the two will have a match next week. 

Match Three

Triple Threat Match:

‘The Don of NXT Tony DeAngelo Defeated Luca Crusifno and  NXT Heritage Cup Champion Channing ‘Stacks Lorenzo Via Pinfall

For most of the very personal show down dubbed “family business”, the three very familiar former family members countered each other’s offense to the point where no man could gain much of an advantage. Before long, Stacks used his signature crowbar and scrappy style to try and prove he is more than an underboss. Crusifino broke out some rather creative and powerful offense to step out and make a name for himself. But in the end, Tony used his strength to spear Luca threw a wall and pin Stacks after a vicious spinebuster; reminding everyone why he was the family’s don. 

Backstage, The NQCC were discussing Wren Sinclair’s upcoming match against Blake Monroe that’s happening next week. 

In the ring, Josh Briggs was discussing what happened at The Great American Bash. Briggs was interrupted by NXT Champion Oba Femi and his friend Yoshiki Inamura. After the three men exchanged some harsh words, it was decided that they will compete in a triple threat match next week. 

Match Four

Six Woman Tag Team Match:

TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich, NXT Women’s North American Champion Sol Ruca and Zaria Defeated Fatal Influence (NXT Woman’s Champion Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx) Via Pinfall

During the first few moments of the match, the Knockouts Champion and ZaRuca battled Fatal Influence with cohesive tags and innovative offense. The two future opponents Slamovich and Jayne had a very competitive back and forth exchange, giving everyone a preview of their upcoming match. During a chaotic scene in which all the women were taking turns laying out their opponents, Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley came out to taunt their recent rivals ZaRuca; eventually all four women fought to the backstage area. Despite not having her partners, Slamovich was able to drop Jayne with a spinkick and a northern lights bomb to pick up the victory for her team.
