Could this lead to a "Loser Leaves NXT" match? Santos is more than ready to move on.

As Melo goes to the top, D'Angelo crawls toward his Family. Melo pulls him off the ropes but Tony D counters out and hits a throw on the Champ. Lorenzo distracts the ref as D'Angelo yells at Santos to give him the brass knucks. Santos sends them to Melo instead to the chagrin of the Italians. Melo decks D'Angelo with the knucks and picks up the win.
Result - Carmelo Hayes defeats Tony D'Angelo by pin.

Tony D stands Melo up and yells "I'm the Dahn" before slapping him a couple of times. Melo waits in the corner for Tony and moves out of the way as Tony hits the middle buckle. Melo hits a Codebreaker for two.

Melo breaks the submission and hits a few chops in the corner. He hits a flipping clothesline before mounting Tony D and decking him. Melo goes for a Pump Kick but Tony catches it. He hits a throw and gets a near fall.

Next week on #WWENXT! pic.twitter.com/StUT59CEYT

D'Angelo sends Melo head-first into the steel steps right before the commercial break.

Both men have moments of control early on. The factions, or groups, stand up on the apron but Williams gets down first since he's outnumbered 5 to 1.

D'Angelo is wearing baby blue tracksuit pants along with his usual wifebeater.

Announced for next week are:
Xyon Quinn vs. Sanga
Kayden and Katana vs. Cora and Roxy with the winners getting a shot at Toxic Attraction

The main event is next, featuring two braggarts who love themselves in Tony D'Angelo and Carmelo Hayes.

Legend goes for a Pump Kick in the corner but whiffs and gets tangled in the buckle. Fyre takes advantage and hits the Gory Bomb. She goes for the Swanton, but Legend rolls out of the ring. She grabs Fyre's bat and hits Fyre in the throat with it.
Result - Alba Fyre defeats Lash Legend by Disqualification.

Fyre goes for the Gory Bomb but Legend counters it into a move that looks like it would hurt both people equally. Fyre regains control and hits a kick or two. Legend fights back and hits a spinning side suplex for a near fall.

Fyre hits a dropkick to Legend's chest for two. She lands a few chops before Legend hits a sloppy kick to take over.

I like how WWE has Legend and Stratton bragging about how they won stuff in other sports before coming to WWE. That's great, but this is pro wrestling and WWE. What you did before doesn't mean you'll translate it to success. But WWE is gonna WWE.

Up next is Words vs. Actions, aka Lash Legend vs. Alba Fyre.

Cameron Grimes is sitting in the locker room after his match. Bron Breakker comes in and says "that's the Cameron Grimes that I want to face at the Great American Bash." Grimes adds "No, it isn't. If you face this Cameron Grimes, you're looking at the next NXT Champion."

Jensen goes for a move off the top, but Wagner turns it into an arm drop. He hits the Olympic Slam to pick up the win.
Result - Von Wagner defeats Brooks Jensen by pin.

Wagner traps Jensen's injured hand in a turnbuckle. He then slams it against the ring several times. Jensen fights back with a big Lariat but it only drops Wagner for a few seconds. Jensen hits a DDT off the middle buckle for two.

Jensen comes off as a big goober kid, but he is exactly a big goober kid. He drops Wagner with a Spinning Heel Kick. Wagner drops Jensen with a big boot before working over the injured wrist/hand.

Nikkita Lyons is great, but she says she doesn't do patience. She's always in motion and goes after what she wants. Lyons will return next week apparently.

Grimes helps Edris up and tells him that that was what he was talking about. They hug and shake hands. I'm glad they shook hands and didn't have a heel turn there. Up next, 18-year-old just graduated high school Thea Hail shows up at the dorm room at Chase University. Bodhi Hayward turns out to be her roommate because he's the only other person that goes to Chase U. Hail has loads of energy and goes for some food.

Enofe hits a kick that sends Grimes outside of the ring. He adds a Torpe Con Giro before tossing Grimes back into the ring. He goes to the top but misses a 450 Splash. Grimes hits a spinning uranage before hitting the Cave-In for the win.
Result - Cameron Grimes defeats Edris Enofe by pin.

Grimes kicks Enofe in the chest a few times. He pumps himself up and tells Grimes to keep kicking him in the chest. Grimes hits a kick off the ropes but Enofe jumps up and the two exchange strikes. Enofe drops Grimes with a jumping knee off the middle ropes.

After some back-and-forth, Edris hits a dropkick for a near fall. Grimes fights back with a Hurricanrana and a soccer kick on the apron. He tosses Edris back into the ring and lands a flying crossbody for two.

Jordan Devlin joins Fabian Aichner as weirdly shaped head guys who have undergone name changes.

Never bet against an ace.

Mac Mitchell interviews Indi Hartwell until she is interrupted by Kiana James. James says that Indi has set the women's movement back because she jumps from friend to friend and can't stand by herself. She also says she trusts numbers and facts and not emotions. Indi says she'll punch her in the face next week.

Mandy tells Roxy not to cash in the contract for a title shot. Roxy says that even though she'll be NXT Women's Champ one day, winning the tag team titles with Cora Jade would be sweeter. Chance and Carter come out and say that the line for the tag titles starts behind them, but Jade reminds them that they had their shot at TA and lost. The two teams battle it out on the entrance area as TA laughs on from the ring.

TA mocks Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade after their "fluke" win from last week. Jacy and Mandy mention action figures and posters, and that Roxy should put up posters of real Superstars like Toxic Attraction.

I wonder if Gigi thinks the roses taste good, cuz she's always biting them.

Donovan and Lorenzo tell Legado that it was their fault that they lost, not because Donovan didn't pay attention. Mac Mitchell interviews Giovanni Vinci, until he is interrupted by Ikemen Jiro. Vinci says that he won with style, and Jiro says something about Style Strong. A future match is imminent.

Wilde takes Kemp out with a Pescado as Del Toro and Roddy battle. Donovan inadvertently trips Del Toro, thinking it was Roddy. Roddy takes advantage of the misstep and hits a jumping knee to pick up the win. I wonder if that's why Donovan got released. I'm kidding, I know it isn't.
Result - Roderick Strong and Damon Kemp defeat Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro.

Kemp hits a slam but misses an elbow. Strong and Del Toro come in off tags and Del Toro hits several moves, including a Hurricanrana. He walks the ropes and hits a dropkick to Roddy's chest for a two-count. He goes for a lift, but Roddy elbows him in the head. He hits an Olympic Slam but Wilde breaks up the pin.

Roddy starts off with Wilde and he drops him immediately and locks in an armbar. Del Toro tags in and Legado uses tandem offense highlighted by a springboard moonsault by Del Toro. Roddy kicks out and tags Kemp in. Kemp is confused that Del Toro is fighting back and he goes to whine to Roddy. Roddy slaps him in the face, and it fires Kemp up. He hits several moves and throws on both men.

Up next is Roddy Strong and Damon Kemp taking on Wilde and Del Toro.

After some more insults, Lee says that Williams only really plays second fiddle to Hayes. Lee says cut the crap and just come in the ring and fight, but Williams says he'll do it on his time. He then leaves after saying he's going to do what all of Lee's friends do - leave.

Lee says that over the last three months he's gone through the highest of highs and lowest of lows. As he was picking up the rubble and trying to find himself, he's been angry and trying to prove himself. He tries to go on, but Trick Williams cuts him off. Williams says he doesn't care what Lee has to say and that maybe, he left his friend behind.

Funny how the same crowd that relentlessly booed Lee and MSK is now chanting "You Deserve It" meaning the adulation from the crowd.
