First broadcast: September 20, 2022
Today’s episode starts with a look back at the past edition, the one year anniversary of NXT 2.0. Backstage, Solo Sikoa and Carmelo Hayes arrive at Shawn Michaels’ office. Michaels asks Solo Sikoa to hand over the NXT North American Championship to him. The fans would have voted for Wes Lee, which is why everyone else can’t just come out and compete for the title. Those are the rules, even if Michaels isn’t happy with them himself. However, Michaels wishes the newest member of the Bloodline every success on RAW, SmackDown or wherever his path may take him. Hayes now wants to take the title, but Michaels won’t let him. Hayes would have attempted to circumvent the system by taking out Wes Lee. He couldn’t just accept that. Michaels wants to keep the North American Championship with him for now. At NXT “Halloween Havoc” on October 22nd, five men will compete in a ladder match and the title will be reassigned. The qualification matches for this will already start today.

In a clip, Alba Fyre congratulates Mandy Rose on a historic title reign. But last week she saw the fear in the eyes of the champion. She wants to get the gold. Mandy Rose is watching this clip on a TV monitor as Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin walk in. Rose says she wants to do the same thing to Fyre as she will to Fallon Henley next week. She will keep the gold for a long time.
Damon Kemp speaks out again about his scam at the Diamond Mine. A long time ago he accepted an offer from Tony D’Angelo to help him win. When Roderick Strong announced that he would use surveillance footage to dismiss Julius Creed’s allegations of failure at the Diamond Mine, he thought he was caught. But he dismantled Roddy’s phone first and then Roddy himself. Kemp also agreed to get in the ring against the Creeds, but only against one while the other had to stay backstage. He is available for this fight anytime and anywhere.
In the locker room, Ivy Nile can’t believe Damon Kemp betrayed the Diamond Mine like that. Tatum Paxley tries to reassure her that Nile needs to focus on the upcoming match.

Now he has to face the consequences. They want to make the world a better, more inclusive place and sometimes sacrifices have to be made to do so. Gacy now wants to push through these changes with an iron fist. Having heard enough, Edris Enofé and Malik Blade storm into the ring where they brawl with Reid and Fowler, as a result of which a tag team match begins between the two parties.

Kelly Kincaid visits Oro Mensah in the locker room. She reveals that his debut against Grayson Waller today is his first qualifier for the Halloween Havoc ladder match. Mensah wants to decide this for himself, because Oro means gold and he wants to get it.
Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams are now in the ring. Hayes declares himself the uncrowned North American Champion and voted or not, he’s still the best NXT has to offer. After previously declaring the match between him and Sikoa illegal, Shawn Michaels is now demanding that the people responsible for playing Sikoa’s music and ringing the bell be fired along with the referee. The result is Andre Chase, Bodhi Hayward and Thea Hail. Andre Chase thinks this is an instructive moment, which Hayes and Williams are not enthusiastic about and want to launch an attack, but Hayward and Chase knock the two out of the ring for the time being before a match starts.

Gallus have made themselves at home backstage. They are attended by Josh Briggs, Brooks Jensen and Fallon Henley. Briggs first asks what the “X” on the banner stands for, which is the Scottish flag. Jensen wants to sit down on a chair, but seconds later Mark Coffey’s feet are there. Gallus aren’t particularly friendly with guests, and a fight threatens to break out, but security guards rush in and separate the two groups.

Von Wagner defeated Sanga (w/ Mr. Stone) via pin from a Death Valley driver.

Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo says this behavior is stupid because Lee now has to take on NXT’s Don next week.
