Elektra Lopez shows up to even the odds. She blasts B-Fab in the gut and tosses her weapon to Swerve in the ring. Santos rolls Swerve up for the win.
Result - Legado Del Fantasma defeats Hit Row by pin.

Mendoza lands a Phantom Driver on Adonis but Swerve breaks up the pin with a kick. Swerve and Escobar tag in. Swerve lands a rolling Flatliner and he heads to the top. Wilde and Mendoza battle Dolla and Adonis on the outside and Dolla takes all three out. Swerve and Escobar battle in the ring until Escobar gets tossed out. Santos gets control but B-Fab interferes again, pushing Santos into the ring post.

Dolla holds all three members of Legado on his shoulders and drops all three. Dolla tags in Adonis. Escobar shoves them into each other and kicks Dolla in the knees. He rushes Adonis and Wilde/Mendoza land tandem offense for a two-count.

Mendoza and Swerve battle it out as Swerve attempts to tag a partner in. Mendoza hits Wilde with a tag and Swerve tags Dolla in. Dolla uses "big-guy offense" to turn the tides, including a splash and a sidewalk slam.

After a commercial break, Legado uses a lot of quick tags to single out Swerve. Their matching orange gear is interesting. Santos lands double knees to Swerve's chest and then a delayed suplex. Wilde/Mendoza land a tandem move for a near fall.

It's main-event time as Legado del Fantasma battles Hit Row. Once again, Hit Row has an extra person advantage with B-Fab ringside. Legado jumps Hit Row before the bell, isolating Top Dolla. Santos goes for a move off the ropes, but the extra person, B-Fab, pulls Escobar's leg. The ref didn't see it.

Malcolm Bivens appears with the Diamond Mine. Roddy is training with the security guards that Bivens handed his cards to. Bivens says Strong is issuing an open challenge next week.

Don't push it, Xyon Quinn. #WWENXT @FearTianSha @DanielVidot pic.twitter.com/xhHZZAIJ5j

Johnny Gargs is arguing with Willy Regal to cancel the InDex wedding. They argue over the pronunciation of bananas before LA Knight rushes into Regal's office. He pushed both men outside of the office before calling them both buffoons.

Boa battles Xyon Quinn in Quinn's first NXT appearance. Boa lands some strikes, turns to Mei Ying, and gets hit with a flying forearm. Quinn pins Boa.
Result - Xyon Quinn defeats Boa by pin.

Sportsmanship never gets old. Congratulations to our 2021 #NXTBreakout Tournament winner, @Carmelo_WWE! #WWENXT @oshow94 pic.twitter.com/5wJlKbq7DT

Willy Regal hands Hayes the contract. Hayes says "it's way too early" to pick which Champ he'll go for. Smart chioce.

The #NXTBreakout Tournament and a championship contract are on the line.

And @oshow94 & @Carmelo_WWE are leaving it all on the mat! #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/gvcExdUgbW

Hayes rolls out of the ring and Jones chases. Hayes lands two kicks to Jones' face and gets back in the ring. Jones hits his shoulder on the ring post and Hayes lands a top-rope scissor kick. He goes for another but Jones lands a splash. Jones gets a two-count but Hayes counters it and gets the win.
Result - Carmelo Hayes defeats Odyssey Jones by pin.

The sleeper puts Jones on his knees. Hayes hits a few kicks and a jumping knee to Jones. Hayes lands a spinning slam and a pump kick for a two-count. Hayes goes for another move but Jones counters into a shoulderbreaker.

Jones is in control back from the break. Hayes jumps on his back with a sleeper. Did you know that at least three WWE stars use a choke/sleeper as a finisher? Variety folks!!

Now would be the wrong time to strike a nerve with @KORcombat. #WWENXT @sixftfiiiiive pic.twitter.com/OkfRCGZGRF

Hayes hits a dropkick to the face, one to Jones' knee, and an enzuguri. He goes for a springboard move off the ropes but Jones catches him and plants him on the mat.

Jones puts his hand out for a shake and Hayes obliges - and turns it into a headlock. Jones tosses him around a few times, sending him out of the ring.

Willy Regal is ringside with a title contract waiting for the winner. It's Vince Guy vs. What NXT Used To Be Guy.

"@WWEShop Replica Championship?!" That DAMN @MDMTedDiBiase switched the titles on @CGrimesWWE! #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/1Fs4Ggr9t9

McKenzie Mitchell tries to get a word from KOR but Duke Hudson interrupts, saying that it looks like KOR has had a rough night. They engage in fisticuffs before the fight is broken up. Look for a match next week. Up next is the finals of the NXT Breakout Tournament, Odyssey Jones vs. Carmelo Hayes.

New #NXTChampion @SamoaJoe never runs from a fight. #WWENXT @NXTCiampa @RidgeWWE @PeteDunneYxB pic.twitter.com/Nh3NgiNf7v

Ciampa looks longingly at the title as we fade out to Grimes and DiBiase. Grimes hands the title to DiBiase and Dibiase gives it back to him. It turns on Ted gave him a fake belt to get the real one back. Oh, that wily old DiBiase!!

Holland comes out and blindsides KOR as Dunne and Joe square off. Before anything goes down, Ciampa comes in and attacks Dunne. Holland headbutts Ciampy. Knight tries to get one up on Joe, but Joe pushes him off. I smell a six-man tag coming.

Out comes Pete Dunne, calling back to their staredown a few weeks ago. Dunne says to go to Regal and make the match. LA Knight comes out quickly after Dunne challenges Joe. Knight says it would have taken him 43.5 to "dust" Karrion Kross. Dunne says "take one more step and I'll break every one of your fingers." That brings out Kyle O'Reilly and his saw/gear video package.

Join @WWE_MandyRose and never look back. #WWENXT @gigidolin_wwe @jacyjaynewwe pic.twitter.com/34bQVnGREd

New NXT Champ Samoa Joe hits the ring to address the NXT Universe. Who will come out to confront Joseph of Samoa?

After their loss to Kacy/Kayden, Mandy Rose says "if you never want to feel that way (losing) again, come with me." They follow the Golden Goddess, taking her up on her offer.

.@Kay_Lee_Ray is ready for the #WWENXT Women's Division, but is the #WWENXT Women's Division ready for @Kay_Lee_Ray? Time will tell. @ValentiFerozWWE pic.twitter.com/3qU9km3hSL

KLR maintains control but Feroz lands a few moves. KLR hits a superkick off the ropes and a Gory Bomb for the win.
Result - Kay Lee Ray defeats Valentina Feroz by pin.

Feroz decks Ray a few times but KLR lands a front suplex. She hits a body slam, a knee drop, and gets a two-count.

Up next is Kay Lee Ray vs. Valentina Feroz. Good luck, Feroz.

Direct and to the point, @FrankyMonetWWE will make her #WWENXT #WomensTitle intentions known in plain sight.

Vic Joseph says something along the lines about the TikTok Tandem and some other social media stuff. If that's their direction going forward, count me out.

Carter lands some offense in the corner and a dropkick in the ropes. She gets a two-count. Dolin tags Jayne in and she lands a big boot on Carter. Kacy breaks up the count and tags Kacy in. They land their finisher on Jayne for the win.
Result - Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter defeat Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne by pin.

Dolin hits a Bronco Buster and Jayne lands a powerful Cannonball to Kacy. Jacy tags Gigi back in and she bullies Kacy. Lots of quick tags from the new duo. Dolin/Jayne land a tandem move for a near fall. Dolin tosses Kacy out of the ring but she uses being small as a distraction to get a tag to Carter.

Dolin and Carter start off. Carter gets a quick pinfall attempt but gets kicked off, tagging Kacy.

Up next it's the Lil' Ladies - Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter vs. Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin. Vic Joseph actually asked if the "fun they had this weekend on TikTok would translate tonight." Huh??
