-Commentators: Rich Brennan, Byron Saxton, & Corey Graves.
-NXT Champion Kevin Owens kicked off the show...he said he was going to get rid of a problem(Alex Riley), but Sami Zayn intervened. Owens had no problem with fighting Zayn...but General Manager S. William Regal came out to the ring instead. Zayn made his entrance but Regal declared that it wouldn't turn into a free-for-all like the previous week. Regal made the match for the next live special on May 20th...Owens balked at putting the belt on the line, but Zayn goaded him into accepting the match (a role-reversal from the setup for their previous bout).
-Earlier today: Greg Hamilton encountered a heated discussion with Enzo Amore, Colin Cassady, & Carmella Van Damme. The guys took their leave, leading to NXT Tag Team Champions Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy trying to make a move. Carmella told them that only she was allowed to insult her boys...then Alexa Bliss told her off and got slapped.
-Backstage: Regal had Zayn sign the contract for the title match...Alex Riley stormed in and demanded another shot at Owens, but Regal said that he had run out of opportunities. Zayn tried to interject himself into the discussion, but that got under Riley's skin and led to a match being set up between the two.
-Enzo Amore & "Big Cass" Colin Cassady(w/ Carmella Van Damme) d. NXT Tag Team Champions Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy(non-title) when Enzo pinned Murphy after the Rocket Launcher (3:19).
-Backstage: Becky Lynch said that winning the NXT Women's Title meant everything to her career. She started training in her mid-teens, moved to Canada to train, wrestled in Japan...she didn't plan to be just another name in the women's division.
-Backstage: Devin Taylor interviewed Bayley Rose about her upcoming match with Dana Brooke...but she was unfocused since she didn't have her T-shirt and hairbands. After Bayley left, Emma Tayla passed through the interview area and wondered if Bayley would be needing the hairbands that she happened to be carrying...
-Dana Brooke d. Bayley Rose; Emma came out to Bayley's music in her shirt and hairband, mocking her usual entrance. That distraction led to Dana winning with the Whiplash (4:16).
-Backstage: Regal announced a triple threat match for the next NXT Title shot: Hideo Itami vs. Finn Bálor vs. Tyler Breeze.
-Hideo Itami d. Adam Rose(w/ Rosebuds) with the flying boot (2:52).
-Backstage: Bayley went looking for Emma...she promised that she would get her shirt and hairbands back.
-Becky Lynch d. Sarah (Crazy Mary) Dobson with an armbar submission (2:14).
-Backstage: Rhyno responded to a Baron Corbin vignette from earlier in the show...he said Corbin had a lot to learn.
-Sami Zayn d. Alex Riley by DQ; NXT Champion Kevin Owens did commentary and left the table to attack Zayn for the finish (4:40). Owens finished by taking out Riley with the apron powerbomb.
-Next week: Itami vs. Breeze.
