WWE NXT

-R.I.P. Bruno Sammartino.
-Commentators:  Mauro Ranallo & "Showtime" Percy Watson.
-Johnny Gargano & Candice LeRae kicked off the show...after Johnny thanked the fans and his wife for their support, Candice said she would be taking care of unfinished business against Zelina Vega tonight.  Gargano didn't waste any time in aiming high, saying that his goal was to challenge new NXT Champion Aleister Black.
-Ricochet d. Fabian Aichner with the 630 Splash (4:39).
-The War Raiders(Todd Hanson & Raymond Rowe) d. J.C. & Chris Metro; Hanson pinned Chris after he and Rowe hit the Fallout(back suplex/top-rope legdrop combo) (1:51).
-Earlier this week:  NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler didn't mind showing up late for a meeting with the women's division...she told the whole group that things would be different with her on top, punctuating her message by removing Ember Moon's nametag from a locker and replacing it with an ace-of-spades card.  She made a point to get in the face of Dakota Kai when she merely wanted to excuse herself.
-Returning soon:  Kona Reeves.
-Earlier today:  United Kingdom Champion "The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne said he would be back in a few weeks and we would find out exactly what he thinks of Roderick Strong when he rips his head off.
-Lars Sullivan d. Killian Dain in a no-DQ Match after the Freak Accident(waistlock uranagi) onto two chairs (10:49).
-Candice LeRae(w/ Johnny Gargano) d. Zelina Vega(w/ Andrade "Cien" Almas) with the Garga-No Escape(arm-over-head Crippler Crossface) as Gargano caught Almas in the same hold when he tried to interfere (3:28).  After the match, Gargano officially challenged Aleister Black to a title match...and Black made an appearance to accept, telling him he could have his shot next week!
-Next week:  Adam Cole vs. Oney Lorcan for the NXT North American Title, plus Aleister Black vs. Johnny Gargano for the NXT Title.
