* War Raiders def. Vandal Ortagun & Chico Adams
* Gargano out without the NXT North American Title, he said it has been an interesting few weeks. Not only has he showed the WWE Universe what NXT is all about as a member of the Raw & Smackdown Roster. Last week he had one of his most difficult matches, and when he had his first challenge as a champion, he failed. Crowd is chanting “Johnny Failure”. Ciampa out, he says that Johnny Gargano is at his best when he’s with Ciampa, together they win on Raw & Smackdown, but last week when Gargano was on his own and refused Ciampa’s help, and that’s why he lost. Ciampa offers Gargano to join him in the Dusty Rhodes Classic. That is where it all started for them, and the winner of the Dusty Rhodes Classic get a Tag Title shot at Takeover New York, this could be their moment. Gargano shakes Ciampa’s hand, they will be a tag team in the Dusty Rhodes Classic.
* Vanessa Borne & Aliyah def. Xia Li & Taynara Conti
* Dominik Dijakovic vs Keith Lee goes to a double count out. Match goes to a double count out, crowd is chanting “let them fight” and “restart the match”. Crowd chanting “we want Regal” in hopes the match will get restarted. These guys aren’t done but the match will not be restarted.
* Shayna Baszler def. Mia Yim
* Dusty Rhodes Classic Match: Aleister Black & Ricochet def. Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel
* Dusty Rhodes Classic Match: Forgotten Sons def. Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch
* Velveteen Dream Out, he’s out to remind everyone that he is the NXT North American Champion, he has another reminder... Then Matt Riddle comes out! Matt Riddle wanted to congratulate Velveteen Dream, but real talk, he wants to challenge Velveteen Dream to a title match. Velveteen Dream is not Matt Riddle’s Bro and the spotlight is only on Velveteen Dream. The lights go out and there is a spotlight on Velveteen Dream. When the lights go on Matt Riddle is gone.
* Dusty Rhodes Classic Match: Mustache Mountain def. Street Profits
* Dusty Rhodes Classic Match: DIY def. Undisputed Era. War Raiders out to stare down DIY from the stage.
* Luke Menzies defeats Eric Bugenhagen. The crowd is NOT happy. Bugenhagen has a tremendous encore that takes him through the majority of the arena.
* Sasha Banks is here, Bayley too! Sasha says it’s good to be home, you never forget where you came from, their journey started in NXT. Bayley says the last time Sasha was in the NXT ring was the first ever Women’s Iron Women Match at NXT Takeover: Respect. They want to share the belts with NXT! They say the belts will be defended on Raw, Smackdown, or NXT, so the ladies backstage need to step up!
* Pat McAfee is introduced and joins the broadcast team
* Adam Cole def. Punishment Martinez
* Adam Cole says he is the first NXT North American Champion and yet he has not got a one on one rematch for the title. Cole calls Velveteen Dream the biggest moron of them all. He’s the champion, but not for long, 2019 is the year of the The Undisputed Era. Velveteen Dream Out, he slaps Cole, they brawl briefly, then Punishment attacks Cole and Dream gives Cole a top rope elbow drop.
* Forgotten Sons defeat Mustache Mountain to advance to the finals
* Shayna Baszler out for commentary
* Io Shirai vs Bianca Belair, winner challenges Shayna at NXT Takeover New York. Match goes to a double DQ when Shayna attacks both of them, Kairi runs in but also gets choked out. Io is eventually able to make a comeback but also gets choked out
* Ricochet & Aleister Black defeat Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano to advance to the finals. DIY came out in DIY shirts and DIY gear. Ricochet pinned Ciampa.
* Candice out to check on Johnny after the match. Ciampa and Candice help Gargano up the stage, Ciampa tries to throw Gargano into the tron, but Gargano was playing possum, he throws Ciampa into the tron, beats the crap out of him, implies he’s going for the belt, and poses with Candice.
That's all. Definitely should be a fun few weeks.
