– Josh Briggs picked up a hard-fought win over Yoshiki Inamura in a Philadelphia Street Fight on this week’s WWE NXT. Briggs defeated Inamura in the opening contest of Tuesday’s show, winning the weapons-heavy match after hitting a chain-assisted lariat followed by a moonsault through a table for the pinfall.

After the match, Briggs brushed by Ricky Saints who was coming to the ring for his match.

– Joe Hendry made an appearance on this week’s show as advertised. Hendry appeared in a backstage segment with Ava and DarkState, popping out of a cabinet when Saquon Shugars mentioned his name. He said he was excited to see them compete at Heatweave and got threatened by the foursome, with Cutler James again failing to recognize the value of phrasing as he said, “You don’t want us behind you.”
