Last week's NXT saw Kassius Ohno in action, the Forgotten Sons arriving, Kairi Sane compete and a huge main event between Velveteen Dream and Johnny Gargano. Plus a continuation of Regal's investigation into Aleister Black's attacker.
On this week's show we get more of the same with Regal continuing to interview various NXT Superstars who may have witnessed or be involved in what happened to Black, plus tag-team action, former NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler wrestling, Raul Mendoza hoping to topple Lars Sullivan and a great main event between Nikki Cross and Bianca Belair.

So, without further ado lets kick things off on this week's NXT results and dive straight into the action!
#1. Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan Vs Adrian Jaoude and Cezar Bononi
The last time we saw Burch and Lorcan was in the extremely great NXT TakeOver match where they competed against The Undisputed ERA for the NXT Tag-Team Titles and then Lorcan suffered an injury.
However, they're back and they're facing off against the new tag-team of Cezar Bononi and Adrian Jaoude who are teaming up together on NXT television for the first time (but have been a team on the house show circuit for a while)
Lorcan and Burch was the clear victors in this match from the offset, especially as not so long ago they were challenging for the top tag titles on NXT. The finish came when a hot-tag to Lorcan paved the way for the duo to hit a Double-Team DDT to put their opponents away.
Result: Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan Def. Cezar Bononi and Adrian Jaoude
NXT's tag team division is so big at the moment with Undisputed ERA not even having to feature for two weeks, and tag teams like Heavy Machinery and The Mighty not having wrestled in weeks either. Yet, NXT still manages to fit everyone in.
#2. Tomasso Ciampa denies attacking Aleister Black
After weeks of backstage promos, NXT Champion Tomasso Ciampa finally graces the live crowd at Full Sail University with his presence, in order to address the elephant in the room, did he attack Aleister Black?
Okay, so the first thing he addresses is that he has new entrance music, Ciampa mentions it and says that his new entrance music is a message to the rest of the locker room. Then he moves on to whether or not he attacked Black, and basically he denies it, saying if he wanted to attack Black, he'd do it when everyone was watching!
He then goes on to say everyone in the locker room should follow his lead.
#3. Shayna Baszler Vs. Violet Payne
The feud between Kairi Sane and Shayna Baszler continues this week under the guise of the NXT Women's champ and former NXT Women's Champ getting strong wins over random non-NXT contracted wrestlers. Last week we had Trish Adora and this week we had Violet Payne.
Violet Payne had quite an apt name, as pain is exactly what Baszler put her through for the duration of the match, with the 'Queen of Spades' wasting no time in releasing some of her anger and aggression on the plucky rookie.
Baszler picks up the win with the Rear Naked Choke. However she isn't done with Payne yet as she reapplies the vicious hold again after the match and the bell has been run. Sending a clear message to Kairi Sane.
Result: Shayna Baszler Def. Violet Payne
#4. Lars Sullivan Vs Raul Mendoza
This match came about because Lars Sullivan attacked Mendoza and obliterated him a week or two ago. So naturally the best thing for Mendoza to do is to wrestle Sullivan in a sanctioned match.
The match consisted of him getting thrown around like a rag doll with Sullivan seemingly seeing how far across the ring he could throw a person. That being said, Mendoza did have a brief moment during the match where he looked to upset Sullivan, but that was quickly and literally squashed
The finish came when it looked like Sullivan had knocked Mendoza out with a series of incredibly vicious and stiff looking clubbing blows to the head and neck, followed up with a massive looking Freak Accident.
Result: Lars Sullivan Def. Raul Mendoza
#5. Champion Vs. Champion match hype
Next week's NXT will see WWE NXT Champion Pete Dunne take on NXT North American Champion Ricochet in a Champion Vs. Champion match where the winner takes both titles.It's the first time ever NXT have done a champion vs champion match and its set to be a huge event!
We see a backstage promo with Pete Dunne saying that he's not worried about Ricochet because he's only been a champion for five minutes whilst Dunne is the longest reigning champion in the WWE.
Ricochet retaliates by saying that even know he's only been champion for one month, Dunne knows that his entire career has been spent fighting through high-pressure moments even before NXT. Ricochet then says that Dunne is just another mountain to climb, another hurdle to leap over.
#6. William Regal interviews Kairi Sane and Kassius Ohno
We see the end of Regal's interview with Kairi Sane with Regal thanking her and then Kassius Ohno enters. Regal tells Kassius that he actually doesn't need to speak to him. This angers Ohno, who tells Regal he's sick of being overlooked
Ohno says that he was the next big thing after coming back to NXT but has since seen new guy after new guy come in and push him to the back of the line. He tells Regal he's ready to fight whoever the next new guy is
#7. Nikki Cross Vs. Bianca Belair
The 'EST of NXT' takes on the 'CraziEST of NXT' in the main event of this week's episode of the yellow brand. this match came about when Bianca Belair interrupted Nikki Crosses' questioning a couple of weeks ago and challenged Cross to a match.
It was a decent match with Bianca wrestling seriously and Cross proving difficult to get hold of and alternating between zany comedy and eclectic offense which seemed to put Bianca off guard!
The question was, could Bianca Belair keep her undefeated streak in singles competition, and the answer was yes! Although, she didn't exactly win. Cross locked on a sleeper hold outside of the ring and Bianca slammed her onto the entrance ramp, but both women were counted out.
Result: Double Count Out
That wasn't the end though, as both women continued brawling after the bell with several WWE officials being unable to tear them apart. The episode ends with Nikki Cross wiping out Belair and all of the NXT referees with a huge cross body off of the announce table!
