LA Knight vs August Grey on NXT

LA Knight finally made his in-ring debut for NXT tonight, and utterly demolished August Grey. A slingshot shoulder block dropped Grey to the mat. A powerslam planted Grey in the middle of the ring, but Knight was then distracted by Bronson Reed who pulled a classic "Tommy Boy" fat guy in a little coat moment.

Grey took advantage, dropping NXT's latest signing with a neckbreaker. The tight-rope walking cross body missed, and Knight took his frustration out on Grey. A cravate knee strike and headlock driver dropped Grey for the three-count.

Backstage, Raquel Gonzalez was excited about her opportunity against the NXT Women's Champion. Dakota Kai came in to reveal that they'd be facing Io Shirai and Zoey Stark next week.

Gonzalez was confused as to why she needed that match, but Kai stated that it was about sending a message to the women's division and getting back on track as a tag team.

William Regal was asked about the situation regarding Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly. If the police dropped the charges, he'd deal with them next week.
