In the classroom, Andre Chase told his students he was proud they were able to beat Schism at Stand and Deliver. He gave a special shout out to honorary alumni, Tyler Bate to help keep Chase U alive. Duke Hudson pointed out that he is the one who got the job done. Chase said he was going to mention that, but then remembered what Hudson said about awards and ceremonies and knows that is not something he would be interested in. Hudson said he wasn’t talking about some trivial match. This was the biggest stakes of the year and the legacy he’s created here is something worth honoring. Chase agreed and said next week they are going to award him the MVP trophy.
In a vignette, Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn said they curse any team that will challenge them for their newly won NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Backstage, Brooks Jensen apologized to Kiana James for not handing her the bag at Stand and Deliver. James started yelling at Jensen. Fallon Henley and Josh Briggs walked in. Henley told James she can’t be serious that she is trying to make Jensen feel bad for not helping her cheat while she is cheating on him. James told Jenson that maybe she was dating around, but never once did they say they were exclusive. James told Jensen that everything changed when they shared their first kiss and she thought she could trust him, and after Saturday, that’s not true as her and Fallon are not NXT Tag Team Champions anymore. She thought what she had with Jensen was special, but she was wrong. Jensen felt bad. Fallon told Jensen that James is trying to make him feel like the bad guy. Jensen told Briggs and Fallon that he should have told James they were exclusive and he wants them to stay out of his relationship.

Breakker came out and Hayes said he doesn’t know what Breakker’s future holds, but he thanks him. Breakker said every champion has to lose to the next person.
