-It was reported that Hideo Itami had suffered an injury and would be unable to team with Kota Ibushi in the Dusty Classic.
-Earlier today: Tye Dillinger said that he took a beating from Sanity(Eric Young, Sawyer Fulton, Alexander Wolfe, & Nikki Storm), but he's more concerned about Bobby Roode and challenged him to a match at Takeover.
-Backstage: Dasha Fuentes interviewed Austin Aries about the identity of his tag team partner for the Dusty Classic. He said the tournament wasn't for everybody...case in point, Hideo Itami. Aries noted that Itami received an MRI and suffers from lack of a spine.
-Bobby Roode d. Sean Maluta after the elevated DDT (2:55). After the match, Roode addressed Dillinger's challenge...he claimed that Tye begged him to be his partner but he just couldn't bring Dillinger up to his level. Roode's words provoked Dillinger into rushing the ring, sparking a brawl between the two...Tye got the better of the fight and clotheslined Roode out of the ring.
-Backstage: Charly Caruso interviewed Liv Morgan about her issues with Billie Kay & Peyton Royce...but the interview was cut short when Billie & Peyton attacked her from behind, dragging her out to the entrance stage. Billie & Peyton said the NXT women's division belonged to them...and that included NXT Women's Champion Asuka Urai.

-Commentators: Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-Backstage: Vampiro wished Prince Puma luck in his match with Mil Muertes, but Puma made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with Vampiro and told him not to interfere.
-Promoter Dario Cueto spun the Dial Of Doom to determine Matanza Cueto's challenger for the Heavyweight Title: Killshot!
-Matanza Cueto(w/ Dario Cueto) d. Killshot with the Wrath Of The Gods(rewind powerslam) to retain the Heavyweight Title (3:59). After the match, Dante(A.R.) Fox entered the ring with dogtags around his neck; Killshot recognized him as his long-lost comrade-in-arms and embraced him, but Fox attacked him and laid him out with a straitjacket fisherman buster. Fox told Killshot "You left me for dead" and left his dogtags on Killshot's fallen form.
-Coming soon: The Rabbit Tribe.
-Dario announced that Aztec Warfare III would take place in four weeks...and Matanza's title would be at stake as he would be entering at #1! Dario offered Fenix the #20 spot(since he had been #1 in the previous two Aztec Warfares)...but said the Trios Champions would have to compete against each other for that honor. The winner would get #20, but the two losers would be out of Aztec Warfare.
-Trios Champion Drago won a triple threat match with Trios Champion Fenix and Trios Champion Aero Star when he pinned Aero Star after a running Buff Blockbuster (8:35).
-Backstage: Drago was approached by Kobra Moon; she told him that the scales had tipped in his favor and he should bring the title back to their tribe. Drago insisted that he left their tribe a long time ago and would never return. Vinny Massaro walked into the locker room as Drago was leaving..."I thought this was the men's room?"
-Backstage in Dario Cueto's office: Johnny Mundo entered with a briefcase full of money. He said that he needed to be the champion...he said that the last time they had a dispute, Dario left with a black eye and Mundo left with the briefcase (from a ladder match in Season 1). Mundo noted that he had to "pay someone off" so not all of the money was there...Dario: "Oh, that's right...the Internet photos." Dario finally granted Mundo's request for a Gift Of The Gods Title shot at Sexy Star on next week's show.
-Prince Puma d. Mil Muertes(w/ Catrina Perez) after the 630 Splash (8:46).
-Elsewhere: Rey Misterio Jr. had a chat with Chavo Guerrero Sr. about his issues with his son. He asked "Chavo Classic" where this feud would leave him with the Guerrero family...he didn't think they could coexist in the same temple. Chavo Sr. simply said that he wished there could be another way...but the Guerrero family would endure.
