WWE NXT

-Commentators:  Tom Phillips & Corey Graves.
-Charly Caruso updated the fans on the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament.  The first round is over and we'll see exclusive footage from two quarterfinal matches that took place in California.
-Austin Aries was not dressed to wrestle for his tag team matchup with Roderick Strong; he suffered an eye injury in a recent match with NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura.  Aries claimed that he was declared too valuable of a commodity to be put at risk, so he wasn't cleared to compete.  Aries asked TM-61 to forfeit the match so they wouldn't be embarrassed by losing to Strong in a two-on-one bout.  General Manager S. William Regal made his decision:  One member of TM-61 would face Strong in a singles match to decide which team would advance to the semifinals.
-Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic:  Shane Thorne(w/ Nick Miller) d. Roderick Strong(w/ Austin Aries); Aries and Miller had a confrontation outside the ring and Strong took out Miller with a dropkick through the ropes, but Thorne small-packaged Strong for the flash pin (7:06 aired).
-Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic:  Do It Yourself(Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano) d. NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival(Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder)(non-title) by forfeit; Dawson walked out to the entrance stage on crutches and claimed to have suffered a severe knee injury, so it was in their best interests to pull out of the tournament.
-Backstage:  Dasha Fuentes interviewed Cedric Alexander about his arrival to NXT.  He said Andrade Almas taught him a valuable lesson about bringing a mean streak to the game.
-Backstage:  Dasha interviewed Ciampa & Gargano; they weren't surprised that The Revival had dodged them.  They plan to win the tournament and then win the NXT Tag Team Titles.
-Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic:  The Authors Of Pain(Akam Dhinsa & Rezar Selmani)(w/ Paul Ellering) d. "No Way" Jose Valenzuela & Rich Swann when Rezar pinned Jose after he and Akam hit the Last Chapter(Russian legsweep/lariat combo) (7:18).
-Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic:  Sanity(Sawyer Fulton & Alexander Wolfe)(w/ Eric Young & Nikki Cross) d. T.J. Perkins & Kota Ibushi; Fulton pinned Ibushi after he and Wolfe hit their powerslam/neckbreaker drop combo (8:15 aired).
-Next week:  Ciampa & Gargano vs. Authors Of Pain and TM-61 vs. Sanity in the Dusty Classic semifinals.
