Bron hits a belly-to-belly suplex followed by a standing moonsault for a two-count.

As has been the case the entire night, the crowd is down the middle cheering for both men. That means two things - the crowd is being told to cheer that way or Bron and JD haven't done their jobs right. I don't know which one it is but the crowd is ALWAYS annoying. Anyways, Bron slaps JD in the face, and JD smiles. Bron is confused. I'm guessing he gets confused a lot at crossword puzzles too. Bron hits a suplex before sending JD into the corner. He falls out of the ring and falls on his weird head.

A video for the "Super Diva" Quincy Elliott airs. Guess Sonny Kiss can't get work anywhere . . . After that, Grayson Waller blabs about Apollo Crews stabbing people in the back. He also announces the debut of the Grayson Waller Effect Talk Show, i.e., every other talk show in WWE history. The KO Show is the only exception.

Rose goes for her jumping knee but Stark evades it twice. Rose finally lands it and only gets a two-count. It befuddled Mandy since she's always won with it. Rose then takes the other brace off of Stark's leg and puts it on her knee. Rose hits another knee and gets the three.
Result - Mandy Rose defeats Zoey Stark by pin.

Stark goes for a move but Mandy counters and drops Zoey on her head. She gets a near fall. Zoey hits her finisher but her knee keeps her from making the pin. Rose rolls out of the ring as Zoey tries to pin her. Zoey goes to follow, but Rose ties her knee up in the ropes. She stomps on it a few times and takes off the brace.

Rose locks Stark in a single-leg Boston Crab, but Zoey gets out of it by kicking Rose. Rose falls out of the ring and Zoey gets in some offense. She hits a few strikes and a sliding kick for two.

After control during the break, Jacy Jayne interferes. The ref catches it and ejects Gigi and Jacy from ringside. As they stand on the apron to protest, Nikkita Lyons runs down and sends them off. Zoey capitalizes and gets a near fall but Rose then re-targets her injured knee.

Rose tries a punch early on but Zoey catches it. Zoey tries for her finisher but Rose counters out. Rose rolls out of the ring but Zoey knocks her over with a sliding dropkick. Rose recovers enough to run Zoey into the apron. She then tosses Stark over the announce table. The crowd cheers more for Rose.

A video package for Wendy Choo and Tiffany Stratton airs. The two will have ANOTHER match next week where Stratton will beat Choo again probably. It will be a "Lights Out" match, and not the type that AEW runs.

Indi Hartwell congratulates Katana and Kayden for winning tag team titles. She reminisces about the past before a courier gives her a letter. It's a picture of "InDex Forever" clearly drawn by recently returned Lexter Dumis. Blair Davenport shows up to rip the picture in half while also claiming that she's the future NXT Women's Champ. Good additions tonight!

The two hold each other on their knees as they both eye weapons on opposite sides of the ring. They both run for them and hit each other simultaneously. D'Angelo falls on top of Escobar and sends Santos packing from NXT.
Result - Ton'y D'Angelo defeats Santos Escobar by pin.

Wilde tries to pass a weapon to Santos but Tony D stops it. Santos tells Elektra to hand him a crowbar, but D'Angelo accidentally knocks her over. It pisses Santos off as both men return to the ring.

The Dahn Of NXT hits Escobar over the head with a trash can for another near fall. D'Angelo mocks Escobar and says "this is my NXT" but it fires Santos up. He hits a flurry of moves including a Hurricanrana and a flying chop off the top rope. Elektra slaps Tony before Santos hits a suicide dive out of the corner of the ring. Tony D recovers and shoves Santos into the ring post. Lorenzo looks for a weapon under the ring but Cruz whacks him with a weapon.

Off the commercial break, D'Angelo traps Escobar's hand behind the steel steps. He lays out a bunch of chairs and suplexes himself and Santos on top of them. D's head hit the bar of one of those chairs. Ouch. He rolls Santos into the ring and gets a two-count. D'Angelo hits a Falcon Arrow for a near fall.

Escobar begins to target D'Angelo's legs. He lands a jumping knee for another near fall. Santos hits a crossbody off the top. He looks over to Legado, but Channing Lorenzo takes the field out. Wilde takes Lorenzo out as Santos goes for the Arrow From the Depths of Hell Suicide Dive, but Tony D hits him in the face with a trash can lid.

Before the bell even rings, Santos tosses a chair at Tony D. He sets it up and bashes D'Angelo into it face-first. He then hits a Hurricanrana that sends Tony D into the chair. He gets two.

Let them fight! #NXTHeatwave #WWENXT #JoshBriggs @BrooksJensenWWE @FallonHenleyWWE @WolfgangYoung @Joe_Coffey @m_coffey90 pic.twitter.com/lSVhGs0xSr

Escobar gets a great entrance from outside, complete with a Lucha mask and Legado accompanying him to the ring. Being a street fight or no holds barred, anything can happen. Don't be surprised if someone interferes or betrays Santos.

After the match, Mac Mitchell interviews Briggs and Jensen and they say some stuff. Gallus interrupts, saying that those NXT UK titles don't belong with the two big goofs. They're right, cuz they are NXT UK titles.

Perez hits a leg sweep variant for another near fall. She goes for Pop Rocks but Jade counters out. She hits a running knee and another move for a near fall. Jade goes to get her weapon from the steps but whiffs. Roxy kicks her in the gut and brandishes the weapon. The ref tells her to put it down and she does. Jade then hits a DDT on top of the weapon.
Result - Cora Jade defeats Roxanne Perez by pin.

Jade keeps Roxy in a submission but Roxy counters out with a pin attempt. The two trade several more pin attempts before they both deck each other at the same time. They both fall over after kicking each other at the same time. Roxy takes over for a bit, including some clotheslines and European uppercuts.

Strong says let's get stuff straight, since May you've had problems with me. As he tries to go on, Gallus from NXT UK blindsides Diamond Mine.

Brutus tries to sound like a human, asking Julius "is this true?" and he stands behind his bro. The meathead says that Tony D slapped the mat to give Roddy a single to hit Julius with a jumping knee.

Julius talks for a few minutes and the crowd immediately does the "You Deserve It" chants. Julius then looks to the entrance and "calls out" who was responsible for Diamond Mine having trouble lately. He turns around and says Roderick Strong. He says what I have been saying, that Roddy started Diamond Mine.

Mr. Stone and Von Wagner cut a promo about how Solo Sikoa won their match but is out with an injury. Wagner is still around and could walk onto any NFL preseason field. Don't worry, Sikoa will be back and immediately be given a title shot like he has in the past.

The self-appointed leader of Diamond Mine claims he saw what went wrong in the eight-person tag match a few weeks ago. Since he's named himself leader, instead of Roddy who actually started the faction, he's going to "address it in front of the NXT Universe." With lisps, of course.
