Then a sunset flip into a powerbomb into the railing.

Banks goes for a running dropkick to Io, but Shirai pulls herself up and Sasha crashes into the turnbuckles

Shirai tied up in the Tree of Woe, with Banks slapping her and talking trash.

Cameron Grimes is being interviewed, and is asked about the challenge from Damien Priest. Grimes laughs, says he can't focus on the past and he considers himself the #1 contender to all the titles in NXT.

Breezango is here to back up Drake! They chase the luchadors out of the ring.

NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar is out with his flunkies and is talking about empires and whatnot, when Drake Maverick interrupts.

He charges the ring, but the numbers game is too much to handle.

Candice Larae and Johnny Gargano are being interviewed when a fight breaks out around them.... and I didn't see what happened because my TV got shut off by my kid. I'll figure it out in a minute.

Lumis uses the strap to tosses Strong into Fish, knocking his fellow UE member to the floor. Side slam and then Lumis uses the strap itself to put Strong into The Silence and Strong taps out,

Result: Dexter Lumis defeats Roderick Strong

Bobby Fish is out at ringside and BLINDSIDES Lumis!

Strong with a Superplex on Lumis and nearly gets him a pinfall! Only a 2, however.

Roddy uses the strap to tie Dexter's ankles together and pull it back for a Boston Crab!

Lumis with a vicious lariat onto a charging Strong, then nails him with another one into the corner. Goes for a pin but only gets a 2.

With nowhere to run, @roderickstrong finally looks fear in the 👁 in this #StrapMatch against @DexterLumis . #WWENXT #NXTGAB pic.twitter.com/mFZMEkS0AB

Back in the ring and Roddy is using the strap as a weapon, cracking it against Dexter's chest and punching away at him with it.

Roddy to Dexter: "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!"

Oh no. This can't be good for @roderickstrong's phobia. #WWENXT #NXTGAB #StrapMatch @DexterLumis pic.twitter.com/OiB62ZtsM8

Lumis has opened the trunk to one of the cars on the set. Roddy fights like his life depends on it to make sure he doesn't end up in there again.

Olympic Slam by Strong onto Lumis! Nice!

Strong somehow manages to get an advantage on Lumis, attacking him in the corner.

It's an advantage that doesn't last very long. Both men are on the floor again.

Oh man.... Roddy is doooooooooooomed

Strap in, Roddy. #WWENXT #NXTGAB #StrapMatch @roderickstrong @DexterLumis pic.twitter.com/Oz6GgxgMuy

Strong is extremely hesitant to get the strap attached to him.

He attacks Lumis from behind before the strap can come on. Lumis is back up, attacks Strong and puts the strap on him,

Dexter Lumis is apparently from Wyoming.

I dated a girl from Wyoming for a few years.

She was a sociopath, too.

Much be something in the water there.

We're getting the Roderick Strong vs Dexter Lumis strap match... NEXT!

Double submission by Ripley on both Stone and Alyiah and they both tap immediately.

Result: Rhea Ripley defeats Aliyah and Robert Stone

Stone and Alyiah attempt a double suplex, but Ripley reverses it and suplexes them both.

Commercial ends and we see Robert Stone with a Boston Crab on Ripley while Alyiah has her in a sitting headlock.

Stone holds Ripley's arms back and Alyiah kicks her right in the gut and... OK, now it's just commercials....

Stone is knocked outside and Alyiah charges in for an attack. Stone grabs Ripley by the leg and Alyiah charges in with a knee into the corner.

Gotta admit... Stone looks like he's in pretty good shape.
