To start NXT, Tommaso CIampa comes out. He says he has the greatest entrance music of all time. Mostly since it silenced the sheep. However, one sheep always wants to try to be different and that one is Velveteen Dream. He has the champ’s attention but went about it the wrong way. Ciampa says he stuck his nose where it didn’t belong with his accusations. That brings out Dream to the stage. Dream finds Ciampa’s words amusing, especially about being the greatest sports entertainer of all time. Dream doesn’t appreciate his little threats and believes the NXT Title deserves an experience rather than a guilty trip from an insecure, angry bald man. Ciampa admits he’s an angry bald man, but he’s one with a title. Ciampa knows that Dream wants what he has which is the main event, title, and spotlight. Ciampa says Dream only accused him because he wanted attention. Ciampa wants him to admit it. According to Ciampa, the title says maybe Dream isn’t TOUGH ENOUGH! Oh snap! Dream says he’s tough enough, man enough, and more man than Ciampa can handle. Dream wants a moment with the title. Surprisingly, Nikki Cross comes out to interrupt. She runs into the ring and stands between them before slamming her jacket around. The fans chant “triple threat.” She touches Dream’s jacket and Ciampa pulls the title from her. “Nikki knows a secret” chants. She bops Dream on the nose and says she knows what he did. She then listens to the NXT Title, saying she knows what it knows. Then, Nikki slaps the microphone out of Ciampa’s hand and smiles in his face. With the mic on the mat, she lays down and says she knows what Ciampa did too. Dream leaves and Nikki kicks the microphone away from Ciampa when he reaches for it. She leaves saying “I know” and the fans chant “she knows.”

Keith Lee vs. Kona Reeves

Reeves talk smack and says the people don’t care what Lee is. He calls himself the finest and Lee laughs. Kona gets a cheap shot after a corner break. Lee lays into him and wrecks his chest with a double chop. Leap frog and drop down by Lee before a dropkick. Belly to belly that sends Kona to the outside. Kona uses the ring apron to temporarily blind Lee and then hits a big boot. He fires off mounted punches and remains in control while talking trash. Lee fires up and runs through him with a shoulder block. Super Nova hits and that’s it.

Winner: Keith Lee in 3:58 [*1/2]

We get a look at Shayna Baszler ahead of her Evolution match. She says this was her year. She became NXT Women’s Champion faster than anyone else and she had a slip up in Brooklyn. She made a mistake and beat herself, rather than anything Kairi was successful about. It angers her that people think Sane won that.

Earlier today, Kairi was interviewed about competing at Evolution. She’s very excited and called it a great opportunity. When asked about Shayna, she says Shayna can train all she wants, but she knows she’ll lose again.

William Regal is asked about the Aleister Black investigation. He won’t reveal much, but needs answers and NIkki Cross seems to have them. Kassius Ohno meets up with him about their last meeting. Regal says he was cleared of wrongdoing. That annoys Ohno because he meant when he wanted to hear about Regal’s shiny new toy. Ohno calls him blind, saying he knows nothing. William Regal = Jon Snow. Regal enters his office adn Nikki comes up to Ohno, saying she knows what he did.

Next week, Undisputed Era defends the Tag Team Titles against War Raiders. That sets up a video package to hype the match.

Also next week, Bianca Belair faces Nikki Cross.
