Ilja says he didn't do it. Melo says that Dragunov would get the most to gain by separating TrickMelo. Melo says he had Ilja beat at Halloween Havoc until Trick came out. Ilja then questions if Melo even got attacked.

Trick doesn't like that comment from Ilja. Ilja reiterates that he did not attack either man. Melo says that Dragunov doesn't deserve the title like Trick does before grabbing it. They fight over the belt until it ends up blasting Trick.

The champ says he's suffered too much and will do whatever he can or must do to remain Champion. Carmelo Hayes then limps out for some spotlight.

He apologizes for interrupting but says this is the business they must take care of. Ilja says he'll see Trick at New Year's Evil, but Melo tells him to stay before saying Ilja attacked both men.

As he mentions New Year's Evil, Ilja Dragunov comes out. Ilja says Trick is riding a wave of momentum that hasn't been seen before. He is proud of Trick since they battled months ago.

Dragunov says his journey will end at New Year's Evil. Trick says he would have believed Ilja months ago, but this new version is ready and prepared to be the new NXT Champ at NY Evil.

Trick Williams copies Booker T's commentary during his entrance, honoring the WWE Hall of Famer. He says he would usually come out and "cut up" his opponents, but he is proud of everyone in the Iron Survivor match.

He also thinks it should be "Match of the Year." He says he's "clutch in the fourth" like Steph Curry, Kobe, LeBron, and Michael Jordan. He said 23 a lot.

She is my friend, not yours, Nikkita Lyons!!!

Announced for next week are the following:
Two more Men's Breakout Tournament matches.
Izzi Dame/Kiana James vs. Thea Hail/Jacy Jayne.
Dragon Lee vs. One of Gulak's crew
Fallon Henley vs. Tiffany Stratton

Jade celebrates in the entrance area. Lyons consoles the Champ back in the ring, but Tatum Paxley rushes in and tosses Lyons out of the ring. Paxley tries to console Lyra, but she is confused by the situation. We then go backstage to find Tank and Hank still angling for a fight with Gallus.

Their overall charisma cannot be contained, likely leading to the highest ratings of all time for NXT. I'm kidding. Joe Gacy then appears behind the backhoe to say "Joe" many times.

Lyons goes for a tag, but Jade knocks Lyra off the apron. Davenport comes back in, but Lyons is able to tag in the Champ. Lyra hits her combo of strikes before hitting a Fishermen's Suplex. Blair rolls out of the ring, but Lyra drops her on the outside with a dropkick.

As Lyra returns to the ring for more offense, Tatum Paxley emerges from the crowd to distract the Champ. Davenport goes for a move, but Lyons breaks it up. Lyons kicks Jade, but Davenport kicks Lyons down. She hits a Falcon Arrow, but Lyons breaks up the pin.

Jade and Lyra run into each other. Blair hits her knee strike as Lyons pulls Blair out of the ring. Jade then covers Valkyria for the win.

Result - Cora Jade and Blair Davenport defeat Lyra Valkyria and Nikkita Lyons by pin.

Lyra tags in Lyons, and she tosses Cora across the ring because she wants Davenport. Davenport comes in but gets body slammed. Lyons hits a few kicks before Blair distracts her in the ropes. Davenport tags in and keeps Lyons grounded.

Lyra and Blair start for their teams. They trade moves and misses until Cora Jade comes in. Lyra grounds her quickly.

Riley Osborne walks backstage, and Thea Hail creeps behind him with Jacy Jayne. He thanks her for supporting him in the crowd tonight. She stumbles over her words, and Jacy says she has "room for improvement."

Kiana James and Izzi Dame, not Tiffany Stratton or Lacey Evans, come by to tell Thea that Riley is a "full grown man" and Thea is a little girl. Up next is Blair Davenport and Cora Jade taking on Nikkita Lyons and Lyra Valkyria.

Finally, the bracket for the tournament is revealed!!!

Dragon Lee is backstage after his win. Drew Gulak and his goons walk over to "congratulate" Dragon Lee. Gulak asks if the "tribute" to Wes Lee is a weekly thing or a one-off. He says that they accept for next week and that Dragon will have to wait until next week to see which of the four he will face. I thought Gulak was gonna say "all four of us" in a handicap match.

Carver has Riley in a neck lock but he fights out. He slaps Carver's chest and hits a few kicks. A dropkick sends Carver to the corner but he hits a pounce as Osborne comes off the ropes. Riley kicks Carver down before hitting a Shooting Star Press for the win.
Result - Riley Osborne defeats Keanu Carver by pin.

Carver uses the collar and elbow tie-up to slam Osborne. Riley gets a pin attempt for two. He hits a standing Moonsault for another near fall. He goes for a move but gets blasted with a loud Lariat.

Carver catches Osborne off a crossbody. He tosses him effortlessly over his back. Carver then works on Osborne's back in the corner before slamming him to the mat for another near fall.

Carver is huge. Osborne is jumpy.

Cora and Blair get ready for their title match. Cora adds that she wouldn't have interrupted Blair had Lyra not taken away Blair's moment. They both agree to take out the other's enemy and that Blair will be the champ after New Year's Evil.

Next is Keanu Carver vs. Riley Osborne in the second Men's Breakout Tournament. Vic says this is Carver's in-ring debut.

The Bake Sale - $66. The Car Wash - $220. Duke says that those numbers don't do anything to cover the cost of what they owe. Duke says that Andre Chase "looks like sh*t" because he's been so immersed in the ongoing issues.

Thea is more interested in watching Riley Osborne's match, and Jacy says, "We can go out and watch it in the Chase U section. It's our section." Mr. Chase lets them go. Scrypts then show up with a case and a proposition. Yes, pay back one lone shark by accepting money from another questionable person...

Dijak first dumps Thorpe on the exposed middle buckle ribs to rub salt in the wound. They should probably have a "Loser Leaves NXT" match at NY Evil.

As the fight continues, part of the ring falls apart. Things slow down for a few seconds until Dijak picks up the loose buckle and rope to bludgeon Thorpe. Refs have to break it up.

Result - Eddy Thorpe vs. Dijak ends in a No Contest.

Eddy Thorpe comes out for his match with Dijak, but Dijak rushes him into the entranceway as he does his usual dance. The bell hasn't yet rung as they battle around the ring.

Dijak yells that Thorpe cost him the Iron Survivor Challenge, but Thorpe recovers to toss Dijak into the ring. The match officially begins.

Before the next match, Lexis King is basking in his attack on Trey Bearhill. Ava is flustered outside of HBK's office. She says the rest of the field wants to get their hands on King. Ava then reveals that King will replace Bearhill in the tournament.

The two men shake hands and hug after the match. Backstage, Briggs and Jensen go over their win. Briggs says that he should be next in line for the Heritage Cup since he pinned Dar.

Brooks says it isn't exactly his style, but Briggs says that the Iron Survivor Challenge wasn't either, and he almost won it. Fallon comes in a huff as she hears what Stratton told her. She says that Stratton is garbage and that she sees red every time she sees pink (Stratton's color).

After some discussion, the trio supports Briggs, declaring he wants to go after Dar and the Heritage Cup, especially since they want to "take a drink" out of it.

Bate drops Lee with an airplane spin for a close call. Lee and Bate exchange strikes. Lee hits a snap German Suplex, but Bate pops back up to hit a springboard clothesline for two. The Big Strong Boi climbs to the top but gets stomped by Lee.

Lee then goes for the powerbomb, but Bate counters it with the Tyler Driver 97. Lee counters into a pinning combo, but it's broken up. After some strikes and counters, Lee hits his spinning finisher, Operation Dragon, for the win.

Result - Dragon Lee defeats Tyler Bate by pin.

Bate hits a jumping forearm off the middle buckle. He lands a big splash over the top rope. Bate adds a half-and-half suplex and a standing Shooting Star Press for a near fall.

Lee blasts Bate with two big kicks before landing a Suicide Dive. He adds his trip and kick combo with Bate grounded. Lee adds the Torpedo Dropkick for a two-count.

Oba Femi beats Myles Borne in the first match of the Men's Breakout Tournament!

The two trade counters and moves early on, leaving the match in a stalemate in the early going.

I didn't know Tatum Paxley had fiery red hair like that . . .

Lee's opponent is Tyler Bate!

Tiffany Stratton "vents" to Kelly Kincaid that Fallon Henley "cost her" at Deadline. She talks down to her, calling her a server and someone who should wait on her.

Up next, Dragon Lee makes his first defense of the North American Championship against...

We then go backstage to see Lyra and Nikkita preparing for the tag team match. Lyra runs down everyone gunning for her. Lyons says she desperately wants revenge on Blair for knocking her out of action for nearly a year. Lyra opens her locker to reveal a snapshot of her and Becky in the ring after their match, but Tatum Paxley has put her face over Becky's.

Borne controls the action early on, hitting a stomp to Femi's back for two. Femi fights back, decking Borne a few times. He plants Borne with a pancake before hitting a splash in the corner.

Borne counters a move with a snap powerslam for a near fall. Oba goes to the outside and Borne gives chase. Oba trips him. The action returns to the ring with Femi hitting a pop-up powerbomb for the win.

Result - Oba Femi defeats Myles Borne by pin.

As the rest of the competitors prepare, Lexis King comes out and hits Trey Bearhill with a chair. Refs escort him to the back. The first pairing is Oba Femi vs. Myles Borne. Borne hits a dropkick, but it doesn't seem to phase Femi.

Before the first match, the competitors are introduced: Trey Bearhill, a former NCAA OL; Oregon State's Dion Lennox; Luca Crusafino, the sweater-vested star; Tavion Heights, a Greco-Roman wrestler; Keanu Carver, an NCAA OL; Riley Osborne from Chase U, Myles Borne from Drew Gulak's camp, and Oba Femi, who we saw briefly a while back.

Carmelo Hayes is checked on by the training staff. He is cleared for action as he can "tolerate" it. He thinks he knows who didn't because he's been "hit like that before," but he doesn't want to disclose who he believes attacked him. He and Trick part ways to deal with their problems.

Tiffany Stratton comes out to attack Fallon Henley, and the two fight to the back. Dar hits a big kick on Brooks, but it sends Jensen to his corner. Briggs cleans house, hitting a big Lariat on Dar to pick up the win for his trio.
Result - Brooks Jensen, Josh Briggs, and Fallon Henley defeat Meta-Four (Oro Mensah, Noam Dar, and Lash Legend) by pin.

Meta-Four has neutralized Jensen. They keep working on his possibly injured knee. Dar tags in, and he and Mensah hit dueling punches on Brooks Jensen. Dar keeps the Man Child in his corner until he escapes with a big clothesline. He goes for the tag, but Noam holds his leg. He syncs in an ankle lock.

Jakara Jackson gets on the apron to distract the referee, and Jensen makes the tag to Briggs. The ref doesn't see it, and Jensen gets double-teamed by Dar and Mensah. Fallon breaks up the pin but falls over the top rope, taking Lash with her.

Briggs and Jensen drop Dar as he rushes into the ring. They slide to the floor, followed by a punch on Oro and Noam. Fallon goes for a Suicide Dive, but Lash intercepts her and tosses her over the ropes and onto Briggs and Jensen on the outside.

Nikkita Lyons and Lyra Valkyria vs. Blair Davenport and Cora Jade is announced for later tonight. Footage shows Tiffany Stratton watching the match backstage.

Meta-Four attacks the good guys as they enter the ring. Fallon and Lash start things off with Lash getting a quick near fall. Henley jumps on Lash's back a few times. She blasts Legend's chest after getting shrugged off.

Lash does the Matrix pose, but Henley kicks her in the knee and face. She tosses Henley into her corner, and she tags Brooks Jensen in. Oro comes in for Meta-Four.

Before the first match of the night, Kelly Kincaid interviews Dragon Lee. He says Saturday night was a dream come true. He gives a shoutout to Wes Lee and hopes he has a speedy recovery. Starting tonight, Lee also says he wants to defend the title as Wes did.

Someone attacked Carmelo backstage, unless he felt left out that Trick was attacked backstage before he was . . .

Blair Davenport comes out next to say that Lyra needs to focus on her right now, not Cora. Lyra adds that she's surprised that Cora and Blair aren't friends because they like to jump people from behind.

Out comes Nikkita Lyons in genie pants, but Blair decks her as she gets into the ring. Cue the tag team match for later in the night.

She says, "Things are always better with Cora Jade around" and that "no one was talking about any of the women in the Irion Survivor match" because of her return and blindside attack on Lyra.

Lyra comes right out to address the situation. She says nothing has changed because Cora still takes too many shortcuts, but things have changed since she's been gone.

We get a recap of all the action from Deadline, as well as a few unaired scenes. One is Roxanne Perez declining to speak to interviewers after her Steel Cage loss.

Another is Meta-Four mocking Josh Briggs, Brooks Jensen, and Fallon Henley after they both lost Iron Survivor matches.

As we go back to live action, Carmelo Hayes is acting like someone attacked him backstage, much like Trick was attacked. We then pivot to Cora Jade in the ring, addressing her five-month hiatus for *reasons* we may/may not know.

Tonight's show opens with Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams walking through the parking lot on their way into the building. As Trick stops to answer questions, Melo walks into the building since he isn't front and center for once.
