NXT + LU

WWE NXT

-Commentators:  Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness, & "Showtime" Percy Watson.
-Sanity(Killian Dain & Alexander Wolfe) d. Hideo Itami & Kassius Ohno when Dain pinned Itami after a cross-bodyblock (6:10 aired).  Ohno was away from his corner and confronting Wolfe at one point when Itami wanted to make a tag, so Itami refused to tag him once he had returned to his corner.
-Earlier today:  Ember Moon was interviewed about challenging NXT Women's Champion Asuka Urai...Ruby Riot said that she should be in the mix as well since she hasn't had a one-on-one shot yet.
-Backstage:  Drew McIntyre was interviewed about his pursuit of the NXT Title.  The undefeated Killian Dain was brought up as another contender, but Drew said he'll beat anybody who stands between him and the championship.
-Returning next week:  Johnny Gargano.
-Billie Kay & Peyton Royce were interviewed about the Mae Young Classic Tournament; they were decidedly uninterested since they won't be in it.  In the background, an argument erupted between Andrade "Cien" Almas and Thea Trinidad...
-"The Glorious" Bobby Roode d. Roderick Strong after an elevated DDT on the floor, then another in the ring to retain the NXT Title (18:38 aired).  Strong initially thought he'd won after the Falcon Arrow backbreaker, but the referee waved it off because Roode's foot was under the bottom rope.

Lucha Underground Season 3 Episode 25

-Commentators: Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-Earlier today:  Dante Fox went for a jog and had flashbacks to his time as a prisoner of war.  He was saved from execution by American soldiers, but he had been told that his partner(Killshot) had escaped and never forgave him for "abandoning" him(Killshot thought Fox had been killed in battle).  As Fox continued his jog, he saw Killshot standing on the roof of the Lucha Underground Temple and looking down at him...
-Cueto Cup Tournament: "The Darewolf" P.J. Black d. Sexy Star by DQ; Taya Valkyrie interfered and passed brass knuckles to Black, but Sexy Star got them and hit Black with them in front of the ref (4:17).
-Cueto Cup Tournament: Son Of Havoc d. Son Of Madness(masked Johnny Goodtime) via rollup (8:45). Madness stole Havoc's kutte(biker vest) after the match.

-Backstage: Rey Misterio Jr. met with Dragon Azteca Jr.; Azteca vowed to win the tournament and face Rey for the title at Ultima Lucha Tres.  Prince Puma interrupted the conversation, saying that he wanted his Ultima Lucha rematch with Rey and he wouldn't lose this time around.
-Cueto Cup Tournament: Dante Fox d. Dragon Azteca Jr.(w/ Rey Misterio Jr.); Worldwide Underground(Heavyweight Champion Johnny Mundo, P.J. Black, Jack Evans, Ricky Mandel, & Taya Valkyrie) attacked Rey, leading to Azteca diving to the floor to help his mentor. Fox took advantage of the loss of focus to win with the Fox Catcher(straitjacket fisherman buster) (9:06).
