WWE NXT Results: Huge brawl after main event; Returning superstar becomes Waller's insurance policy

LA Knight rolled up to NXT in his Corvette and made his way to the ring to kick things off.

On the way, he passed Andre Chase and said that he had a teachable moment for him, at Grayson Waller's expense before wishing Briggs and Jensen luck in the Dusty Cup tonight.

In the ring, Knight called out Waller but he was a no-show. LA Knight had to make fun of him and remind him of his past losses before Waller showed up and said that he got a restraining order to make sure Knight doesn't get within 50 feet of him.

Knight said that he may not be allowed near Waller, but Dexter Lumis didn't have such restrictions before bringing him out to face Waller. Lumis came out from under the ring and Knight asked which of them Waller wanted to face in a match.
