Lee turned around to continue his conversation with Hayes who wasn’t there and Dijak attacked Lee from behind. 

Ilja Dragunov came to the ring and called out Trick Williams. Williams came out. Dragunov said Williams is the reason he’s not the NXT Champion. Williams told Dragunov that he did not hit him with the title, Dragunov ran into the title. Williams told Dragunov that if he wants a piece of him, he wants to do it in a match. He knows Dragunov is one of the best and he wants to prove to him that he is also one of the best and he wants to prove it in two weeks at Heatwave.

Backstage, Drew Gulak and Charlie Dempsey were told their opponents, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger will not be able to compete tonight due to the Schism attack. They said Walker and Ledger are not tough and that’s why they can’t compete tonight. Damon Kemp showed up and said if it’s toughness they are looking for, then look no further. Gulak said they aren’t looking for a shortcut fighting him 2 on 1. Josh Briggs and Brooks Jenson showed up and said if they are two guys who are tough and are looking for a fight. Gulak and Dempsey said they will see them tonight.

Backstage, Rey Mysterio complimented Roxanne Perez for her performance at the Great American Bash. He introduced himself to Thea Hail. He told her he knows what it’s like to be the ultimate underdog and he knows she’s been struggling lately, but he can see her heart displayed in the ring everytime she steps in there and she will be a champion one day. She asked Rey if he still loves Dominik. Rey said he doesn’t like who he is right now as he’s made some really bad choices and he’s hanging out with the wrong people, but he still loves him because he’s his son. He hopes one day he will understand and realize who his real family is. She thanked him and he left. Andre Chase and Duke Hudson showed up. They told Hale that was Rey Mysterio, Hall of Famer. Hail said she knows and told Chase that unlike him, he would not have thrown in the towel. 

Bron Breakker vs Von Wagner (w/ Mr. Stone)

Wagner gave Breakker a running clothesline and a kick to the face. Wagner tried to pick up Breakker, but Breakker escaped, speared him, and pinned him. After the match, Breakker grabbed Mr. Stone overhead, but Wagner pulled him off. He gave Breakker a knee to his face which sent Breakker through the ropes. Wagner gave Breakker a powerbomb through the announce table.
===Winner: Bron Breakker

A vignette aired with Eddy Thorpe in the wild.  He said Dijak injured his arm and left him defeated in the middle of the ring. When he falls short, it is nobody’s fault but his own. To change the outcome of their rematch, he had to take responsibility to refocus and readjust. He thinks of his ancestors and Crazy Horse comes to mind with the battle cry Hoka Hey.

In the back, Rhea Ripley told Dominik not to let Rey distract him. Lyra Valkyria told Ripley she did what she wanted her to do and she beat Jacy Jayne. She now realizes Ripley uses people and every chance she gets, she helps Dominik hold on to the North American Championship. Ripley said Dominik doesn’t need her help and he will go down as the greatest North American Champion ever. Valkyria told Ripley to practice what she preaches tonight or will Mami have to come to his rescue again.

Backstage, Tony D’Angelo and Stacks were doing a photo shoot. Schism asked them where The Creeds are. Tony and Stacks said they didn’t know. Schism was about to jump them when Tony and Stacks pulled out crowbars. The Dyad told them they want their tag team titles. Joe Gacy told The Dyad to stay focused on the Creeds. They said they will stay focused, for now.

Josh Briggs & Brooks Jenson (w/ Fallon Henley) vs Drew Gulak & Charlie Dempsey (w/ Myles Borne)

Damon Kemp came to ringside and suplexed Jenson on the floor behind the ref’s back. Kemp threw him in the ring. Dempsey gave Jenson a full-nelson suplex and pinned him.
===Winners: Drew Gulak and Charlie Dempsey

Backstage, Dana Brooke told Kelani Jordan that she was waiting to see her killer instinct out there and she didn’t show it. This business will eat you up like it did her. People are making fun of her like they do her and she doesn’t want that for her. Jordan said that was only her third match. She doesn’t know what killer instinct looks like and she’s trying to find it. Brooke said she wants the best for her and she’s going to go in the ring next week and show her what killer instinct looks like.

In a pre-tape interview, Kiana James said Gigi Dolin failed trying to expose her wild past, but she can tap into it whenever she needs it. Ivy Nile is going to be the first of many to experience a different side of Kiana James.

Ivy Nile vs Kiana James

The Schism showed up and surrounded the ring. James hit the Dealbreaker on Nile and pinned her. After the match, Schism tried to get Nile to talk. Tony D’Angelo and Stacks came down with crowbars and cleared the ring.
===Winner: Kiana James

In a pre-tape, Humberto and Angel texted each other. They reminded each other that their grandfather brought them into the business and now they are embarrassing him. 

Backstage, the Meta-Four confronted Tyler Bate backstage and told them they wanted the Heritage Cup back. Nathan Frazier showed up with the real Heritage Cup. Frazier said maybe he can convince Bate to give them back the cup if Dar can admit that it is not real. Dar said it is real and he is the champion. Frazier then said Bate will give him back the cup and he will give Dar a shot at the real cup at Heatwave if he admits his cup is not real. Dar told Frazier that technically the cup Bate has is the cup that Mensah lost that he originally won that you never beat me for and Mensah lost it. Frazier said that’s as close to what we are going to get as an admission. Bate gave Dar the fake cup and Frazier told Dar that at Heatwave, they are going to settle this once and for all. Frazier told Bate that he owes him one.

In the parking lot, Wes Lee told Trick Williams that when he’s done with Dijak, he’s coming for Melo. Williams told him to tell him yourself and Lee drove off. Damon Kemp, Drew Gulak, and Charlie Dempsey came outside to the parking lot. They told Williams they would like to help him, but there is no training camp that can help him beat Dragunov. Williams said he doesn’t need their help and he’s got something special for them next week.

NXT North American Championship:
Dominik Mysterio (w/ Rhea Ripley) vs Dragon Lee (w/ Rey Mysterio)

Ripley slid the North American belt into the ring right in front of the referee. The ref told him not to use it. As he was ready to use it, Rey got on the ring apron and grabbed it away from him and got off the ring apron. With the referee still distracted, Ripley hit Dragon in the head with her women’s belt. Dominik hit Dragon with the Michinoku Driver and pinned him. After the match, Rey scolded Dominik and Ripley got between them. She pushed Rey. Lyra Valkyria came in the ring and attacked Ripley to send her out of the ring.
===Winner: Dominik Mysterio
