– Carmelo Hayes is not backing down from the big names in NXT, and the newcomer even channeled the spirit of early John Cena when he faced down Adam Cole this week. Hayes came out on tonight’s show to challenge Adam Cole when Cole decided he wasn’t going to compete as directed by William Regal. Cole asked Hayes what made him think he could change Cole’s mind, and Hayes says “Ruthless Aggression!” before slapping Cole.

After a twelve and a half minute bout, Cole picked up the win with the Panama Sunrise.

– Karrion Kross came out to remind Johnny Gargano that they aren’t done, attacking Gargano following his and Austin Theory’s win over Pete Dunne and Oney Lorcan on the episode. Kross attacked after Gargano cut a promo earlier in the night saying that he showed Kross up during the Fatal Five-Way match at NXT Takeover: In Your House and should get the next title match:
