Chantel Monroe arrives and says that tonight she will prove she is unique by winning the Battle Royal. Layla Diggs says that this match is personal for her tonight since she lost her chance; she will win the Battle Royal. Jordan says this changes nothing; at Halloween Havoc it will be Kelani Jordan’s moment.
– A video is shown featuring Dion Lennox reflecting on Cruz Montana. Lennox says Montana got himself into this addiction problem. He used the time to build the Dion Lennox machine, a machine that never runs out of fuel. His parents kept him on the right path and gave him the tools to succeed. But if he failed, it would be a disappointment for his family and his community, a tremendous pressure. Lennox says it took him two years to arrive in NXT and Montana twenty years. Montana may have overcome his addiction, but Montana will never beat him. When Lennox is done, he will send Montana back to his hole.
– Backstage, Lizzy Rain talks with Cruz Montana about Lennox’s video. Montana says Rain has a major opportunity tonight; she shouldn’t worry about him. Rain thanks him. Xia Brookside from TNA arrives. Brookside says Montana has really changed.

Hank and Tank vs Shido Ash and Viktor Zanov
At the end of the match, Hank charges Ash into the commentators’ table. Tank brings Zanov back to the ring and hits a Swanton. Hank tags in and they prepare their double-team move, but Zanov surprises Hank with a PowerSlam for a near fall. Ash drags Tank out of the ring. They attempt a Double Chokeslam on Hank, but he blocks it. Tank slides back in to deliver a Double Clothesline to Zanov and knock him off the ring. Hank hits a Side Slam on Ash followed by a Clothesline. Tank tags back in and they execute their double-team sandwich for the three-count.
Winners: Hank and Tank
– Backstage, Birthright has attacked Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux again! Uriah Connors declares that Legacy and Van Dux will not be able to participate in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Once again the faction leaves its mark.
– NXT Champion Grayson Waller arrives in the ring. Waller says he isn’t surprised to still be champion. Last week was exactly what he wanted. Robert Stone wanted to see him panic with the Open Challenge, but he loved it. It’s precisely what he was seeking when he came to NXT, a challenge. And he found EJ Prosper. For this first main event, he must say that Prosper performed well. Prosper had the chance to taste Waller. One day Prosper will be champion, but as long as he is champion, no one will take it from him. By coming here, he wanted to restore NXT’s prestige and make the NXT title the most important title in NXT. Now the question is who will be next to challenge him? The music of Myles Borne hits and he comes to the ring.
Borne says that now he does what’s best for him, not what people expect. He deserves to be champion. It’s time to move on from Tavion Heights’ baggage and step toward the title he’s never held. Stopping to worry about the crowd’s opinion, he can finally move forward. And Waller should understand that because he is like him. Waller says at last someone is listening to him. The music of Tony D’Angelo hits and he comes to the ring. D’Angelo says Borne picked the wrong moment to grow a spine because he hasn’t finished with Waller. Waller asks D’Angelo where he was for last week’s Open Challenge. D’Angelo says this new Waller is a lie. Back then Waller would have spent all his time complaining about the Open Challenge. So he reclaiming his spot and his title match. There will be no more excuses and he wants to regain his title with his prestige. Waller says he doesn’t even see D’Angelo’s title. Waller says that Borne and D’Angelo should fight next week to decide who deserves a chance. Borne has a face-off with Waller, but then he turns toward D’Angelo and punches him square in the head!
– Backstage, William Regal finds EK Prosper. Regal says Prosper gave his all against Grayson Waller, he put his heart into it. He has seen people come and go from NXT. He can see that Prosper has the qualities to be a RAW and SmackDown star; he must not give up. Prosper thanks him.
Robert Stone passes by and says he needs to talk with Regal. He is forced to find replacements for Dorian Van Dux and Sean Legacy due to Birthright. Regal says Lexis King and Charlie Dempsey have never gotten their shot in this tournament. Stone says he cannot reward that behavior. Regal says decisions must be made quickly in this job, Birthright is the right call. Stone reluctantly approves.
Singles Match
Naraku vs Shiloh Hill
At the end of the match, Naraku attempts his Mist on Hill, but Hill blocks him with his hand. Naraku pushes him away and tries to reapply the Mist, but Hill evades and accidentally sprays the referee! The referee stops the match as he can no longer see.
Winner: No Contest
– After the bout, Hill and Naraku exchange blows at ringside. Security arrives to separate them.
– We present the continuation of Kendal Grey with her psychologist. Kendal Grey says she has made mistakes and hurt herself. It was she who injured herself by removing the protective pad. The doctor asks if she is still that hard on herself. Grey agrees, saying she still analyzes every detail. At one point, she stopped being proud, doubting herself. Her greatest foe is herself. The doctor asks what that means. Grey says she must find a way to defeat this aspect. The doctor says he will always be there if she needs help, but it feels like they could end their session and move on.

Dempsey follows with a Suplex Bridge for the three-count.
Winners: Birthright
– After the bout, Birthright states that once again they have proven that no one can stand in their way.
