I won't be running the coverage for Friday Night SmackDown on Friday, as usual, but I hope you'll still come by and check us out anyway. Please, if you don't mind, follow Sportskeeda Wrestling on Twitter at @SKProWrestling and, I dunno, maybe me at @HeyImKevinSully?

We'll have the full results for NXT tonight here shortly and I will talk to you guys... tomorrow, I guess, as I'll be writing articles tomorrow. Whatever. Have a great night, my friends!

OK! So, that was a pretty exceptional show. Great matches, intriguing ending, very tight two hours. Looking forward to next week very much.

Holy smoke, that was AMAZING

My future is my past....

BULLET CLUB

And Balor attacks Gargano!!!

Think we're setting up for War Games?

Oh, THERE'S Finn.

And here comes Johnny Gargano to back him up!

And here comes my dude! Tomasso Ciampa heads to the ring to cause some havoc against the ERA.

Now the UE are attacking Lee. That's mean.

Strong with a running kick on Lee after Lee goes for a pin and STRONG GETS THE WIN

Result: Roderick Strong defeats Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic

KEITH LEE WITH A GOTDANG PLANCHA ON DIAJKOVIC!

Yes, crowd, HOLY SH.... that thing you said.

Dominik with the pin after a.... whateveritscalled Bomb... but only gets a 2.

Dijakovic lifts up Keith Lee with ONE ARM.

Lee and Dijakovic knock Strong out of the equation and both agree to settle this in the ring together.

I love it when people get along.

Strong with an Olympic Slam on Lee and goes for the cover, but only gets a 2.

Crowd thinks this match is awesome. Hard to argue.

Well, I was wrong. Strong with a backbreaker on Dijakovic.

We're back from break and... wait a minute... weren't we supposed to see Finn Balor tonight?

Well... who DO you think is gonna win?

Watching this #NorthAmericanTitle match on @WWENXT. These guys are going IN!

Who do you all think is gonna win?

Lee and DIjakovic are focusing so much on each other, that they're nearly forgetting about Strong.

Nearly.

Dijavoic just punched Strong in the face.

DIjakovic just suplexed Lee onto Strong, basically nailing him with a senton. He still only gets a 2.

Strong with a Superplex on Dijakovic and gets a 2-count. Lee tries to get back into the ring, but Strong kicks him back to the floor.

We're back! And so am I! And Strong just gets thrown to the outside by Lee and continues the fight against Dijakovic in the corner.

Strong comes back in and knocks Lee to the floor.

Strong gets knocked back to the outside and Lee and Dijakovic start going at it as we head to an ad break.

Which is good, because I need a break myself. Just for a second, though.

The bell rings and Strong bails to the outside, but his two opponents surround him.

Do you really see Strong hitting either of these guys with a backbreaker?

Or do you really see this match ending without the Undisputed ERA getting involved?

Keith Lee vs Dominik Dijakovic vs Roderick Strong - triple threat for the North American Championship

Keith Lee is heading out, while we bask in his glory, as we get ready to rock for this North American Championship title match.

Just a heads up... I'll be doing this very thing on October 31 during WWE Crown Jewel, so be sure to... I dunno... come on by?

Wow! @WWEAsuka and @KairiSaneWWE vs @TeganNoxWWE_ and @DakotaKai_WWE next week. This is the kinda stuff we need in our lives 🥳

Kabuki Warriors are on the screen, talking smack to Nox and Kai in Japanese.... so I have no idea what they said.

And it looks like we're getting the North American Championship triple threat coming up next.

My money's on Keith Lee. I mean, it would be if I gambled on pro wrestling. And if I had money.

Nox nails Duke with the Shiniest Wizard! BOOM!

Result: Kai and Nox defeat Duke and Shafir to be the #1 contenders to the women's tag titles

Kai manages to get the hot tag and Nox starts cleaning house... you know... like you do after a hot tag

Kai is taking a beating but she only stays down for a two count.

Duke starts the match with a big boot to Kai's face and the MMA Horsewomen are starting this match very aggressively.
