WWE NXT

-Commentators:  Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness, & "Showtime" Percy Watson.
-General Manager S. William Regal kicked off the show, but he was almost immediately interrupted by The Undisputed Era(Adam Cole & NXT Tag Team Champions Roderick Strong & Kyle O'Reilly).  They didn't want to hear about the Aleister Black investigation; Strong & O'Reilly wanted to hear about repercussions against The War Raiders(Todd Hanson & Raymond Rowe) for repeatedly attacking them, while Cole wanted to hear about his rematch for the NXT North American Title against Ricochet (especially with United Kingdom Champion "The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne getting a title shot before him).  Regal wondered if someone doth protest too much and noted that Cole never ASKED for his title rematch against Ricochet until after Dunne conveniently wore him down.  In two weeks, Cole would get his shot at Ricochet...but it would be a triple threat match with Dunne included.  As for Strong & O'Reilly, they would defend the NXT Tag Titles against The War Raiders in three weeks.
-Earlier today:  Johnny Gargano was interviewed about facing "The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese on next week's show.  He said that he didn't like where his head was at, but he's seeing more clearly now and he's refocused on climbing the ranks.  As Gargano took his leave, he and Candice LeRae were confronted by Lacey Evans who said that a good wife and "lady" should stand by her man at all times instead of splitting off on her own career direction...
-Backstage:  "The Velveteen Dream" Patrick Clark blew off an interview attempt after a photo shoot...though oddly he brought up the Aleister Black situation without the interviewer bringing it up.  Hmm...
-Lars Sullivan d. Victor Orchant(aka Vordell Walker) by DQ when Ethan Carter III attacked Sullivan (1:28).
-Backstage:  Regal found Nikki Cross in his office...she wanted to "play" with Bianca Belair again and Regal said that he would take it under consideration.  After that, Nikki walked off while saying "I know...I know...I know..."
-The Mighty-61(Shane Thorne & Nick Miller) d. The Street Profits(Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) when Thorne pinned Ford with a figure-four jackknife cradle (7:41).
-NXT Women's Champion Kairi Sane d. "The Vision" Vanessa Borne(non-title) with the top-rope diving elbowdrop (3:06).  Shayna Baszler made her entrance to announce that she was invoking her rematch clause...and Kairi accepted the challenge, saying they would meet at Evolution.
-Earlier today:  "Limitless" Keith Lee felt like his successful start in NXT would lead to championship gold soon...he crossed paths with "The Finest" Kona Reeves, who wasn't all that impressed with him.  Lee responded that he wasn't impressed with Reeves' recent lack of in-ring success...perhaps they shall settle it in the squared circle in our near future.
-Next week:  EC3 vs. Lars Sullivan, plus The Forgotten Sons(Jaxson Ryker, Wesley Blake, & Steve Cutler) in action.
-NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa d. Otis Dozovic(w/ Tucker Knight)(non-title) after the hanging DDT (9:39).
