Following The Great American Bash, NXT delivered with an awesome episode that began several new feuds to finish off the Summer.
Matches:
Lyra Valkyria vs. Jacy Jayne: Valkyria was a step ahead throughout and won with her Roundhouse Kick and a Splash. Jayne was good, but it’s obvious she’s not ready yet. Valkyria continues to get better though, especially after stumbling around for her first few months.
Dijak vs. Eddy Thorpe: This is far from over but Dijak got the win with the Discus Boot.
Valentina Feroz and Yulisa Leon vs. Elektra Lopez and Lola Vice: Vice got the win in her debut with a Super Kick.
NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes and Wes Lee vs. Meta-Four: Oro Mensah and Noam Dar: The Novaroller gave Dar the win and caused friction between Lee and Hayes, which makes for a great NXT Championship encounter down the road.
Baron Corbin vs. Andre Chase w/Thea Hail and Duke Hudson: Hail is heartbroken and Corbin destroyed Chase with End of Days.
NXT Tag Team Champions: D’Angelo Family: Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo and Tony D’Angelo and Santos Escobar vs. Gallus: Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey and Wolfgang: A fun one that saw The Family pick up the win. This is just the beginning of this feud.
