Yeah. That's it. Weird.

Great show, though. Let's go over the match results and look at some GIFs.

And.... that's the show? There's like 9 minutes left.

.@WalterAUT never turns down an opportunity for a fight!

AND WHY ARE THERE KENDO STICKS UNDER THE RING? SERIOUSLY!

They're bringing the fight backstage to the ring!

Wait. Why is security breaking up Riddle and Dain?

And, as Mauro pointed out, it's as if the whole NXT roster is fighting right now!

Oh man, this is incredible.

And the fight is taken outside and....

Whoa! Imperium attacks Riddle

Dain has Riddle on the ropes and grabs a Kendo stick from under the rin...

OK... this has bugged me for twenty years...

WHAT POSSIBLE EXPLANATION CAN THERE BE FOR KENDO STICKS BEING UNDER THE RING?!?!

Tweet me your thoughts at @SKProWrestling

Oh, Dain's not messing around as he charges Riddle as soon as he hits the ring.

Say whatever you want about Killian Dain but, dang, that's some incredible theme music.

I bet Matt Riddle has, like, a million sandals.

Street Fight time between RVD 2.0 Matt Riddle and Angry Irishman Killian Dain.

That... was a great match.

RUSH WITH THE FROG SPLASH AND THE WIN!

Lio Rush defeats Oney Lorcan to become the #1 Contender to the Cruiserweight Championship

Lio nearly passes out from... the other submission move... but reaches the ropes.

Sensational stunner from @itsLioRush!

We got it Oney, you're from Boston. There's other submission moves.

And again.

Rush goes for a Frog Splash, Lorcan moves. Rush lands on his feet, but hurts his damaged knee.

Lorcan with a half crab again.

SPRINGBOARD STUNNER BY RUSH!!! HOLY MOSES!

I can't believe that didn't finish it. Oney kicks out at 2.

IT'S LIKE HE BRINGS CAPS LOCK INTO THE RING, TOO!!! @_StarDESTROYER #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/ygqVT2ZL6f

Lio kicks Oney in the face to get himself free, so Lorcan just chops him in the chest, big slam and then a pinfall attempt.

Kick out.

Sorry, folks. My network feed went loony toons on me again, but I'm good to go.

Mauro with the Lance Storm reference.

And suddenly Lorcan has a half crab on Lio!

.@itsLioRush came to collect!

Three Tope Suicidas from Rush onto Lorcan and Lio has control of the match now.

Oney Lorcan goes NUTS on Lio Rush (he's baaaaaaaaaack) and goes for the early pin. Kickout.

.@KUSHIDA_0904's time is now!

Up now: Oney Lorcan vs Lio Rush

WALTER says that any who disrespect them will have Imperium to deal with. Kushida appears and says that it's his show. He took out the three other members of Imperium and then challenged WALTER to a match.

WALTER tried to destroy him, but he managed to slip out of his grasp.

After they threw him out of the ring, WALTER appeared with the NXT UK title and walked down to the ring.

The Performance Center's Denzel was out for a match but Imperium came out of nowhere to decimate him. They attacked him and swarmed him to destroy him. Only three members of the stable were there, as WALTER was missing.

.@XiaWWE connects!

Xia Lee has the advantage early on. She hits Aliyah with several shots to the head and chest. She downs her with a Tornado Kick and that's all she needed to pick up a win in quite the short time.

Results: Xia Li defeats Aliyah

Up now: Xia Li vs Aliyah

It appears Oney Lorcan will face Lio Rush in a match for the Cruiserweight title contendership. He's back.

Dunne locks in the finger breaking submission viciously to end the match. The number of finger casts that Dunne's opponents must need is incredible.

Results: Pete Dunne defeats Arturo Ruas

After stomps to the chest, Dunne locks in the Triangle. Ruas does a sudden cartwheel to escape!

Pete Dunne comes out with a German Suplex and then stomps on his fingers. He then hits the X-Plex. Dunne is obviously incredibly powerful and Ruas does not know where he is.

Ruas looks good, better than anyone expected. Both men want a win in what is obviously a huge moment for WWE and NXT.

Ruas is trying to break Dunne's fingers as if there's no tomorrow.
