NXT + Mae Classic

WWE NXT

-Commentators:  Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness, & "Showtime" Percy Watson.
-Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch d. Cezar Bononi & Adrian Jaoude; Burch pinned Jaoude after he and Lorcan hit the double-team elevated DDT (3:42).
-NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa made it clear that if he was the one who attacked Aleister Black, he would have done it in front of the biggest audience possible and crowed about it the loudest.  He certainly WANTED to injure him, but someone beat him to the punch.
-Shayna Baszler d. Violet Payne with the Kirifuda Clutch(sleeper with bodyscissors) (1:27).
-Backstage:  Heavy Machinery(Otis Dozovic & Tucker Knight) talked about how they think Ciampa attacked Aleister Black...unfortunately for them, that drew the champ's attention.  General Manager S. William Regal made sure things didn't escalate...a potential match would happen another time, but Regal wanted to speak to Ciampa in his office.
-Backstage:  The Undisputed Era(Adam Cole, NXT Tag Team Champions Roderick Strong & Kyle O'Reilly, & Bobby Fish) talked about their recent issues with the War Raiders(Todd Hanson & Raymond Rowe).  Cole felt like talking about next week's title-vs.-title match between NXT North American Champion Ricochet and United Kingdom Champion "The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne, saying he would challenge the winner of that match.  With no current goings-on, Fish was content to hold the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic trophy.
-Lars Sullivan d. Raul Mendoza with the Freak Accident(waistlock uranagi) (4:13).
-Earlier today:  Pete Dunne said that things are working out in his favor since he'll have a chance to add more gold to his resume.
-Backstage:  North American Champion Ricochet was interviewed about the match with Dunne; he was fine with being underestimated and said he was ready for the fight.
-Backstage last week:  Dakota Kai and "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo had a confrontation with Lacey Evans & Aliyah Areebi; that tag match will happen on next week's show.
-Backstage in Regal's office:  Regal wrapped up his talk with NXT Women's Champion Kairi Sane, then welcomed Kassius Ohno to the room...Regal said that he didn't have to talk to him since Kairi's statement gave him an alibi as well.  Ohno had a chip on his shoulder, saying that he feels ignored in favor of whatever new "shiny toy" is in front of Regal..."bro".
-Nikki Cross fought Bianca Belair to a double countout (5:19).
