NXT + LU

WWE NXT

-Commentators:  Tom Phillips & Corey Graves.
-General Manager S. William Regal announced the second annual Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament...woo.  The finals will take place at NXT Takeover Toronto and the first-round matches will start on next week's show.
-Tye Dillinger d. Angelo Dawkins with the Tye Breaker(Death Valley Driver onto the knee) (2:24).  After the match, Bobby Roode came out and said he was impressed by Dillinger's performance...he was looking for a partner for the Dusty Classic and the team he had in mind was "Perfectly Glorious".  They shook hands and the partnership was formed.
-Backstage:  Charly Caruso interviewed Hideo Itami about his match with Lince Dorado...Itami said that Dorado was a great competitor and had heart, unlike Austin Aries.
-NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival(Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder) vs. The Ealy Brothers(Gabriel & Uriel)(non-title) never started as Samoa Joe stormed the ring to attack the Ealys.  Joe sent a message to Regal that the beatings would continue until his decisiveness improved...he wanted NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura or he wanted "his" championship.
-Debuting next week:  Dan Matha.
-Ember Moon d. Mandy Rose with the Eclipse(flying Stone Cold Stunner off the top rope) (3:07).
-Backstage:  Dasha Fuentes interviewed Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano about their issues with The Revival...they said the Dusty Classic held special meaning for them since that was their first experience in NXT.  They plan to win this year and then capture the NXT Tag Team Titles.
-Coming soon:  Sanity.
-The Authors Of Pain(Akam Dhinsa & Rezar Selmani)(w/ Paul Ellering) d. Jesus Yurnet & Jonathan Cruz when Akam pinned Yurnet after the Authors hit the Russian legsweep/lariat combo (1:19).
-Backstage:  Charly interviewed Regal about Nakamura's status...Regal said Nakamura is a bit "different" and difficult to contact, so he doesn't know much about his situation.  When the topic turned to the Dusty Classic, Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy threw their hats into the ring...but they couldn't even get through THAT without arguing.
-NXT Women's Champion Asuka Urai d. Liv Morgan(non-title) with a double-armbar submission hold (0:55).  After the match, Cathy Kelley interviewed Asuka, who reiterated that "Nobody is ready for Asuka!"
-Next week in the Dusty Classic:  The Revival vs. Cedric Alexander & Andrade Almas.
-Hideo Itami d. Lince Dorado via Go 2 Sleep (6:55 aired).  Afterwards, Austin Aries attacked Itami from behind...Itami attempted to turn the tide, but Aries escaped from the ring before he could strike back.

Lucha Underground Season 3 Episode 4

-Commentators:  Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-Backstage:  Promoter Dario Cueto crossed paths with Gift Of The Gods Champion Sexy Star...he asked if she was concerned about her friend Willie Mack being destroyed by Heavyweight Champion Matanza Cueto last week.  She said she would never be afraid again...but Dario noted that she had not yet chosen to cash in her title for a shot at Matanza.  He told her that she would be teaming up with Trios Champions Fenix, Drago, & Aero Star tonight against the Worldwide Underground foursome of Johnny Mundo, Jack Evans, P.J. Black, & Taya Valkyrie...as Cueto left, Mundo entered the scene and "formally introduced" himself to Sexy Star as the next Gift Of The Gods Champion.  She was decidedly unimpressed.
-Prince Puma d. El Siniestro De La Muerte with the Flatliner after fending off an attempt at interference by Mil Muertes(w/ Catrina Perez) (4:50).  After the bell, Puma attacked Mil with a suicide dive, kicking off another brawl between the two until Catrina called off her man.
-Backstage in Dario Cueto's office:  Cortez Castro entered the promoter's office and Dario greeted him with a hug...saying that he was sorry about what happened to "Francisco"(Mr. Cisco) and he hoped that they could find the real killer.  Castro turned to leave, but he heard the ring announcer introduce him for the next match...
-Pentagon Dark d. Cortez Castro after the package piledriver (1:09).  Afterwards, Pentagon snapped Castro's arm with the armbar/hammerlock combo.  Pentagon vowed that whoever won between Dragon Azteca Jr. or Chavo Guerrero Jr. would suffer broken bones at his hands.
-Johnny Mundo, Jack Evans, P.J. Black, & Taya Valkyrie d. Gift Of The Gods Champion Sexy Star & Trios Champions Fenix, Drago, & Aero Star; Evans pinned Sexy Star with a bridging backslide after Mundo stunned her with a superkick (8:53).
-Backstage:  Mil and Catrina stood over a kneeling Siniestro...Catrina said that he had failed them for the last time and she snapped Siniestro's neck, telling Mil to do the same thing to Prince Puma.
-Dragon Azteca Jr. d. Chavo Guerrero Jr.; Rey Misterio Jr. was the special guest referee.  Chavo picked a fight with Rey, leading to Azteca getting the three-count with a spinning rana into a pinning combination (7:01).  Rey got some post-match retribution with a 619 on Chavo.
-Elsewhere:  Black Lotus said that she was sending her "triad" to destroy Pentagon Dark and avenge her broken arm from Ultima Lucha Dos...
