Singles Match
Tony D’Angelo defeated Dexter Lumis (w/ Indi Hartwell) via pin following swinging fisherman’s suplex.
Match time:
– Before the finish, Duke Hudson distracted Dexter Lumis. At the same time, Tony D’Angelo grabbed his crowbar, which first Indi Hartwell and then Persia Pirotta prevented. The latter engaged in a brief tug-of-war with Tony D, which ended with Pirotta releasing the crowbar and hitting D’Angelo Lumis with the iron. The ref didn’t see this as he stood between D’Angelo and Lumis and ducked under the punch.
Ton D’Angelo then grabs a microphone and explains that he cast out the bait for Ciampa and he bit like a small fish. Of course, he will defeat Ciampa on Stand and Deliver. Suddenly, his opponent’s music hits and Tony D turns to face the stage, but Ciampa enters the ring from behind D’Angelo, surprising him and allowing him to easily complete the Fairytale ending. Ciampa then grabs the mic and promises, if need be, that he’ll write his own Fairytale Ending.
Grayson Waller promises to win his qualifier match once morest A-Kid tonight and be crowned the new North American Champion on Stand and Deliver.

He shows Quinn a video of Gacy urging Anthony to join him and improve his life. Angered, Anthony slams his phone once morest the wall, and Quinn lets him know that Anthony knows exactly what to do. Should he need Quinn, he would be there for him.
McKenzie Mitchell welcomes Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic inaugural finalists Wendy Choo and Dakota Kai. Choo tells us that the two will win the tournament, just like Dakota Kai did before. Only, unlike Raquel González, she will not oppose Kai because they are now best friends. Choo wants to further explain how González wronged Kai back then. but Kai intervenes and explains that Choo may have had a few too many shakes, but she’s right regarding the content.

Dexter Lumis stands in the locker room with Indi Hartwell and cools his head. Persia Pirotta and Duke Hudson arrive and Indi asks Persia if she gave the crowbar to Tony D on purpose, which she denies. To Persia, this sounds like an excuse; something her duke would never do. Dexter Lumis is suddenly overwhelmed by creativity and grabs a pen, with which he quickly sketches something on a ready canvas. He presents us with a drawing of Gunther, following which Indi challenges Hudson to have a match once morest Gunther.
Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray prepare for the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
Andre Chase is standing at Chase University and his student Bodhi Hayward is giving a lecture on the topic of steadfastness. So despite the black eye that Von Wagner gave him, he showed up for class and didn’t miss a single lecture. He is interrupted by a question and, in the best Andre Chase manner, taunts his classmate, which Chase obviously doesn’t like. He intervenes and asks where Bodhi learned these words, to which Bodhi replies that he learned them from Andre Chase. Chase takes a deep breath and seems ready to unleash another tirade, but instead lets Hayward know that this may have been the most beautiful thing he’s ever heard. Next week Hayward will get his revenge on Von Wagner.
5. Match
NXT North American Title Ladder Match Qualifier – Singles Match
Grayson Waller (w/ Sanga) defeated A-Kid via pin following the rolling cutter.
Match time: 2:52
– Solo Sikoa watched the match from the stage.
Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams then enter the ring. The two noticed that with Santos Escobar, Solo Siko and Grayson Waller three of the four challengers have now been determined, but one place is still free. Therefore, the three losers from the qualifiers next week will get a second chance when they face off in a Triple Threat match and battle it out for last place. He also lets A-Kid know that while he’s an A-Kid, he’ll never be an A-Champ. Trick Williams also steps in and says he’s going to have a good time with A-Momma, for which he then takes an Enzuigiri from A-Kid, who then flees and lets himself be celebrated.

Match time: 3:52
– Indi Hartwell was also at ringside to watch the match.
Gunther then explains that it’s cheeky that he continues to be overlooked despite being NXT’s most dominant Superstar. At the same time, LA Knight might get an NXT Championship match with a few words. This same LA Knight does not take long to ask and enters the ring where he would like to speak to us. But Gunther interrupts him and explains once more that LA Knight stands for everything that’s wrong in this business. He himself should get a title match, but LA Knight talks his way into match following match but is never able to win even one. Knight warns Gunther not to interrupt him because he absolutely hates it. He also wanted to use his words once more this week to get a match, but Gunther made him change his mind. Instead, he now wants to use action. He drops the microphone and delivers a slamming punch to Gunther, who staggers, but Aichner and Barthel immediately deal with their leader’s attacker. They set it up for Gunther to do the powerbomb, but MSK’s music hits and Wes Lee and Nash Carter storm the ring, where they deal with Aichner and Barthel, knocking them out of the ring. LA Knight body slams Gunther and clotheslines him out of the ring before calling out a challenge to Stand and Deliver!
Cameron Grimes will do whatever it takes next week to secure the final spot in the Stand and Deliver ladder match.
The commenters tell us that the LA Knight vs. Gunther pairing for Stand and Deliver has already been officially confirmed. Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen take on Legado Del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde & Raul Mendoza) next week. Also scheduled is the Last Chance Triple Threat Match between Cameron Grimes, A-Kid and Roderick Strong to determine the final spot in the North American Title Match. Von Wagner gets to have fun with Bodhi Hayward, while LA Knight teams up with MSK (Wes Lee & Nash Carter) to take on Imperium (Gunther, Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel).
Toxic Attraction will be seated in the Toxic Lounge, this time right on the Ring. The finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic are upon us. Main event time!
8. Match
Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic – Finale – Tag Team Match
Io Shirai & Kay Lee Ray defeated Wendy Choo & Dakota Kai via pin by Io Shirai on Wendy Choo following the moonsault.
Match time: 10:21
Following this, Io Shirai & Kay Lee Ray are celebrating in the ring with the Dusty Rhodes Classic Trophy when they are interrupted by NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose, who enters the ring alongside Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne and asks for silence. She wryly congratulates the winners, but at the same time makes it clear that the two would never be able to take the tag team titles away from Gigi and Jacy. Kay Lee Ray takes the floor and explains that destroying Toxic Attraction was her plan from the start and in doing so she was taking away what matters most to them. Io Shirai agrees, explaining that instead of cashing in the Dusty Rhode Tag Team Classic win for a Tag Team Title match, the NXT Women’s Championship match between Mandy Rose and Cora Jade at Stand and Deliver will now be a Fatal 4- Way Match! Toxic Attraction then launch an attack on Shirai and Ray, whereupon Cora Jade comes out and supports the two. Together they can route Toxic Attraction, bringing NXT 2.0 to a close this week.
