NXT North American Championship : Wes Lee (c) vs. Dijak
Combat very divided between a very physically powerful fighter (Dijak) and a faster and more agile one (Wes Lee). After several near falls from side to side, Wes Lee looked like he was about to succumb when he was trapped in a Crossface Chickenwing with Bodyscissors , but managed to escape the submission.
Dijak returned to the charge and was again close to triumph after a brutal Lariat , but when he prepared for a Powerbomb from the top rope, he saw Wes Lee reverse the maneuver for a Hurricanrana .
More near falls followed . When Dijak was preparing for a Diving Moonsault over Wes Lee when he was sitting in a chair, Tony D’Angelo appeared to give his chest to the bullets, and Wes Lee took the opportunity to achieve triumph after a Jocay-le ( Back handspring Pele kick ).
Winner : Wes Lee
Rating : 8/10
NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship:
Katana Chance and Kayden Carter (c) vs. Fallon Henley and Kiana James
Balanced combat, lasting about ten minutes, in which Fallon Henley and Kiana James did not mind cheating, while the champions mainly tried to play fair. That’s how Henley and James achieved victory, with an assisted settlement when only one should have been involved in the decision.
Winners: Fallon Henley and Kiana James (new champions)
Grade: 5.5/10
Vengeance Day : Two out of three falls match: Apollo Crews vs. Carmelo Hayes
Combat that started off very technically, but quickly slipped into another, more physical dimension. And also for the cheating, with Trick Williams causing some distractions to Apollo Crews.
Even so, Carmelo Hayes ended up winning the first fall cleanly, making Apollo Crews submit through a Crossface .
Carmelo Hayes almost won the second fall by countout , but Apollo Crews managed to return to the ring in time. Meanwhile, Trick Williams exposed one of the corners, but Carmelo Hayes was the one to hit with his back. Shortly afterwards Dabba-Kato appeared on the scene, but after Apollo took some time to greet him, he ended up defeated after a Diving Fame Asser .
Winner: Carmelo Hayes
Grade: 7.5/10
NXT Tag Team Championship:
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) (c) vs. Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) vs. Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince and Kit Wilson) vs. Chase University (Andre Chase and Duke Hudson) (with Thea Hail)
Four duos with personality, which was also noticeable by their clothing: The New Day, which needs no introduction, the Gallus with the British strong style , the metrosexual Pretty Deadly and the college sportsmen Chase University.
The bout had several high moments, such as flights towards the top of most of the fighters and the Gallus planting Duke Hudson on a commentator’s table. The Gallus even ended up winning and winning the title, after their double team finisher .
Winners: Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) (new champions)
Grade: 8/10

Winner: Roxanne Perez
Grade: 7/10
