NXT, Mae Classic, LU

WWE NXT

-Commentators:  Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness, & "Showtime" Percy Watson.
-Kassius Ohno d. "The Finest" Kona Reeves via rolling elbow (1:46).
-The Forgotten Sons(Wesley Blake & Steve Cutler)(w/ Jaxson Ryker) d. The Street Profits(Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) after interference by both Ryker and The Mighty-61(Shane Thorne & Nick Miller), leading to Cutler pinning Ford after he and Blake hit an inverted DDT/second-rope flying stomp combo (6:35).
-Backstage:  General Manager S. William Regal continued his investigation into the attack on Aleister Black, interrogating Heavy Machinery(Otis Dozovic & Tucker Knight); Dozovic confessed to destroying the Performance Center toilet after one too many cups of coffee, but Knight did say that he saw NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa in the general vicinity.
-Backstage last week:  NXT North American Champion Ricochet and United Kingdom Champion "The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne had a heated discussion about the miscommunication that led to their tag team loss last week.  Sounds like a match in the making...and it'll happen in two weeks with BOTH titles on the line!
-NXT Women's Champion Kairi Sane d. Trish Adora(non-title) with the diving elbowdrop off the top rope (2:26).  Shayna Baszler made her way to the ring afterwards, dumping over Kairi's treasure chest en route and starting a fight...Kairi battled back and Shayna retreated after Sane delivered a spear.
-Elsewhere:  NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa said that he wouldn't show his face in Full Sail until he had a number-one contender...with Aleister Black and Johnny Gargano in his rear-view mirror, he is truly the last man standing.
-Backstage in Regal's office:  Lars Sullivan admitted that he was at the building that night and looking for Aleister Black...but he was already down and out when Lars found him.  He saw the Undisputed Era(Adam Cole, NXT Tag Team Champions Roderick Strong & Kyle O'Reilly, & Bobby Fish) driving away and that was about it.  If he had been the one to attack Aleister, he would have been standing over him and he would be on the shelf a lot longer.  Regal didn't appreciate what Lars did to Ethan Carter III or Raul Mendoza; with EC3 out of action for the moment, Regal booked Lars to face Mendoza on next week's show.
-"The Velveteen Dream" Patrick Clark d. Johnny Gargano after the Dream Valley Driver(cartwheel DVD) (15:55).

WWE Mae Young Classic Tournament

-Commentators:  Michael Cole, Renee Young, & Beth Phoenix.
-Tournament Round 1:  Tegan Nox d. Zatara Cabrona after the Shiniest Wizard (6:11).
-Tournament Round 1:  Rhea Ripley d. "The Afrolicious" M.J. Jenkins with a pumphandle sitout powerbomb (6:42).
-Tournament Round 1:  Lacey Lane d. "The Mountain" Vanessa Kraven with a crucifix bomb (4:51).
-Tournament Round 1:  Meiko Satomura d. Killer Kelly via Death Valley Driver (7:41).

Lucha Underground Season 4 Episode 13

-Commentators:  Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-Backstage:  Catrina Perez told Mil Muertes that she had her life back and would no longer do his bidding.  She gave Mil his stone before departing...but ran into ring announcer Melissa Santos on the way out, touching off a fight.  Melissa chased Catrina into an upper area of the temple, where Catrina locked her in a cross-armbreaker and told her that Fenix never loved her...but he died so that she could live again.  Melissa got the upper hand, but Mil interrupted the fight as Catrina was hanging from the roof...he reached out for her hand, only to return the stone and drop her to her apparent doom.  Aero Star approached Melissa, asking for her half-medallion so he could give her back her heart's desire.  He seemed to draw some kind of energy from Catrina before time-traveling back to the moment where Catrina stole Fenix's life energy...he used that energy to revive Fenix, then brought him back to the present day to reunite him with Melissa.  Aero Star said that since Fenix was "taken out of time", he would need to adjust to things...
-Melissa Santos returned to ring announcing for this episode.
-Matanza Cueto(w/ promoter Antonio Cueto) d. Joey Wrestling with the Wrath Of The Gods(rewind powerslam) (2:55).
-Killshot d. "Big Bad" Steve Pain(w/ Beautiful Brenda) after the top-rope double-stomp (7:22); Son Of Havoc watched the match from ringside.  Killshot confronted Havoc after the match and swatted the popcorn out of his hand, sparking a ringside brawl.  Killshot tried to get away from Havoc, but in the process Havoc managed to pull off his mask!  Killshot retreated while frantically covering his face...
-With Johnny Mundo temporarily out of commission after the fallout from last week's wedding, he was not in the house for his scheduled Lucha Underground Title match with Pentagon Dark.  Pentagon Dark was disappointed that he couldn't give Mundo the wedding gift of a broken arm since he wasn't cleared to compete...so he threw out an open challenge.
-Pentagon Dark d. Shawn Hernandez with the pumphandle Michinoku Driver to retain the LU Title (7:05).  Pentagon set up to break Hernandez's arm, but he was blindsided by King Cuerno who planted him on the title belt with the Thrill Of The Kill(cradle Tombstone).
