WWE NXT

-Commentators:  Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness, & "Showtime" Percy Watson.
-Backstage:  Several wrestlers and security guards were found down and injured...General Manager S. William Regal surveyed the situation.  It was unclear who did it, but the commentators speculated that it was Adam Cole and reDRagon(Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish).
-New NXT Champion Drew McIntyre kicked off the show to celebrate his title win...he put the locker room on notice, especially Cole and reDRagon, and said that anyone who wanted a title shot was welcome to challenge him face to face.  That brought out Roderick Strong...Strong said that he had his grudge rematch with Bobby Roode later in the night, but his ultimate goal was still the NXT Championship.  Drew respected Strong's honesty, but said he would fall like the rest.
-Next week:  Injured NXT Women's Champion Asuka Urai would give an update on her future.
-Peyton Royce(w/ Billie Kay) d. Ruby Riot after Billie BOOTed Ruby on the floor, allowing Peyton to win with the Perfectplex (7:15 aired).
-Backstage:  Regal was interviewed about the chaos at the top of the show...Kassius Ohno(sporting a sweet Mitsuharu Misawa-Stan Hansen T-shirt) interrupted to ask for another match with Hideo Itami.  Regal granted his request, but Ohno upped the ante by wanting it to be no-DQ; Regal made it so.
-Heavy Machinery(Otis Dozovic & Tucker Knight) d. Damien Aweel & Edwin Negron; Dozovic pinned Negron after he and Knight hit the Compactor(assisted World's Strongest Slam) to drop Negron onto Aweel (2:14).
-Backstage:  Regal told Lars Sullivan that he had beaten up three tag team partners, so he would be in a three-on-one handicap match on next week's show.  Sullivan seem unfazed by this news.
-Roderick Strong d. "The Glorious" Bobby Roode after hitting the End Of Heartache(Falcon Arrow backbreaker) twice in a row (14:27 aired).  NXT Champion Drew McIntyre came out to stare down Strong after the match, but Drew was ambushed by Adam Cole and reDRagon; Regal and security guards arrived to restore order, but Cole and company were just leaving.
-Next week:  Kassius Ohno vs. Hideo Itami in a no-DQ match and Cezar Bononi vs. Andrade Almas.
