Wes Lee walks in on Tyler Bate in meditation. He thanks Bate for having his back last week, while also promising to do the same for Bate this week against Charlie Dempsey. Bate didn't hear most of it because he was meditating.

Dijak forgets how matches work and is mad that he lost by DQ. He continues to assault Ilja after the match, even trapping him under the steel steps.

The two trade strikes until both men fall over. Dijak tosses Ilja across the ring. He hits a discus kick for a near fall. The big man gets angry. He grabs a chair from ringside, but the ref tries to stop him.

Backstage, Mr. Stone and Von Wagner are bonding over favorites until some random guy mocks how Von had medical issues as a kid. Von doesn't take it kindly, grabbing the guy and shoving him into equipment.

After the match, we see Thea Hail with some Chase U students talking about where Andre Chase is. Javier Bernal walks by to ask Hail if failing is why she isn't in the women's tournament.
Duke Hudson walks up and reveals that Thea got an 88 on some quiz. It will lead to a match between Javy and Duke.

All hell breaks loose as Ivy Nile storms the ring area to attack Ava. The Creeds try to pull her off of Ava, causing the Dyad to be distracted. Gallus hits the finisher to thankfully end the match.

Result - Gallus defeats the Dyad via pinfall and retains the NXT Tag Team Championship.

As required by NXT bylaws, the Creeds randomly show up in a picture-in-picture shot with blue masks on, mocking the Dyad. Ivy Nile is mad that they are taking it seriously. They don't need to.
They will get shot after shot until they win the belts again because they are the chosen team. Back in the ring, Wolfgang tags in, and he hits a few moves.

The Dyad has control off the ads. This has been a very boring match.

Tony D and Stacks are watching from the random pulpit in the arena. Gallus gets the first pin attempt. There's A LOT of exchanging of rest holds early on until Jagger Reid gets the hot tag and hits a flurry of offense for a nearfall.

Before the next match, we get the Barber Shop segment that never does anything special. Carmelo Hayes is actually there but not medically cleared.

.@tiffstrattonwwe moves on!

The start of the NXT Women's Championship Tournament highlights a very important night on the road to #NXTBattleground!

Gigi fights back, dropping Tiffany with a boot. She goes for another move, but Tiffany kicks her arm. She lands a handstand splash but misses another double stomp.
Gigi takes advantage with an STO before attempting her finisher. Stratton breaks out before hitting a sloppy rolling Senton followed by the Prettiest Moonsault Ever for the win.

Result -Tiffany Stratton defeats Gigi Dolin by pinfall.

Dolin gets a nearfall on a bridging pin, followed by another one after a kick to Tiffany's chest. Stratton kicks out and lands a running stomp for a two-count. Booker T is clearly behind Stratton in this match. Stratton starts to work on Dolin's injured left shoulder.

After a strange decision to book Indi Hartwell to win the NXT Women's Title and then get injured during a defense and drafted, she just relinquished the belt last week. One of the least impressive title reigns that led to nothing in NXT.
The tournament starts tonight with Tiffany Stratton, one of the favorites, taking on Gigi Dolin. Look for Stratton to win, possibly due to outside interference from Jacy Jayne.
