After the match, the champions are sent packing by NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai.

Bayley and Sasha Banks defeat Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox via submission to retain their titles.

Wait... Is @itsBayleyWWE 𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝑔𝒾𝓇𝓁 again?

Nope. False alarm. #WWENXT #WomensTagTitles @TeganNoxWWE_ pic.twitter.com/v6jac4Xnmr

Bayley brings a chair inside to break it up, but is stopped by Nox. The ref thinks Nox brought it in, allowing Bayley to counter Blackheart's submission. The Bank Statement is locked in, and that is all it will take to put the challengers away.

Back inside, Nox and Blackheart set up for the Doomsday Device. Banks escapes, sending Nox face first into the corner. Blackheart still hits a dive and locks Banks into a modified cattle mutilation.

Nox tags in and drops Sasha with a chokeslam on the floor. A dive from Blackheart takes the champs out.

Blackheart took Banks out with a roundhouse/forearm/switchblade kick before going for a wrecking ball dropkick through the ropes. Sasha avoids and hits the meteora.

"You're welcome, Huntah!"

Bayley struggles to handle Blackheart's unconventional offense and nearly gets rolled up as well. Still, the SmackDown Women's Champion gets the upper hand with a running knee to Blackheart's dome.

Sasha Banks takes Tegan Nox to school early, but a tag to Shotzi Blackheart nearly loses the Golden Role Models their titles.

It's time for the MAIN EVENT!

Sadly for Drake, the numbers are too much to overcome. A Phantom Driver sends Maverick through the table and the concrete floor. Maverick is taken to an ambulance during the break.

NXT North American Championship match set for next week; Winner gets a shot at Adam Cole

Drake Maverick comes out, says he has more guts than brains, and takes the fight to Escobar and his flunkies.

"If you wear a mask... that's all the world sees," - Escobar

This guy is killer on the mic

Santos Escobar is here. Looking sharp.

Bronson Reed with a top rope splash and that's the end of that/

Result: Bronson Reed defeats Leon Rush

Reed then calls out Karrion Kross, then carried Rush over his shoulder to the back.

And he's facing Leon Ruff. This should be short.

After a Mercedes Martinez promo, we get Bronson Reed out to the ring.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

NEXT WEEK: @RealKeithLee will defend the #WWENXT #NATitle against @JohnnyGargano & @FinnBalor!

Whoever walks away as the champion from that match will face @AdamColePro on July 8th in a CHAMPION vs. CHAMPION 𝑾𝑰𝑵𝑵𝑬𝑹 𝑻𝑨𝑲𝑬𝑺 𝑨𝑳𝑳 𝑴𝑨𝑻𝑪𝑯! pic.twitter.com/FxFm070sG0

And as we head to another ad break, we get another Karrion Kross tease.

And the blink of an eye, Dakota gets the submission win....

Result: Dakota Kai defeats Kayden Carter

Dakota Kai vs Kayden Carter right now

Back from break and Candice Larae is confronting Keith Lee and talking smack. Keith just points behind her and Mia Yim is on the attack.

OH SNAP!

Next week... NXT North American Champion Keith Lee vs Johnny Gargano vs Finn Balor for the NA championship. The winner takes on NXT Champion Adam Cole faces the winner ina Champion vs Champion match on July 8th!

Did Adam Cole just make a Bullet Club reference?

And here comes William Regal.

Finn Balor is here, too. This is getting interesting.

Lee makes his way to the ring, but before they can talk, Johnny Gargano comes out, as well.

Adam Cole is trash talking both Karrion Kross AND Keith Lee. Cole also says he'd love to defeat Keith Lee for his North American championship and hold both belts.

NXT Champion Adam Cole makes his way to the ring.

Roddy is about to get into the trunk of a car, much like Jake Roberts had Ultimate Warrior get back into an airtight coffin, after the Undertaker locked him in one. He runs away.

Adam Cole is being interviewed about the hourglass Scarlett left for him last week. Cole is dismissing it, and here comes Keith Lee to talk some smack of his own.... because Keith Lee is the greatest.

Adam Cole and Bobby Fish have taken Roderick Strong to a psychologist.

I think it's Bobby O'Reilly.

Timothy Thatcher is in a vignette for his "Thatch as Thatch Can" school, where he's basically tearing apart his students, Stu Hart-style.

Robert Stone, drunk as a skunk, climbs on the ring apron and... pukes into the ring. Aliyah uses the opportunity to look Xia Li up and get the win.

Result: Alyiah defeats Xia Li

Alyiah helps a drunken Robert Stone to his feet and helps him to the ring to be in her corner.

Robert Stone has been kind of a punching bag lately.

Xia Li is up next.

#WWENXT #Cruiserweight Champion @EscobarWWE will begin to rewrite history TONIGHT. @RaulMendozaWWE @joaquinwilde_ pic.twitter.com/58BtPGlNnO
