They showed footage of the Von Wagner being stretchered out last week after Bron Breakker smashed the ring steps over his head. Vic Joseph read a medical update which said Von Wagner has been diagnosed with a mild skull fracture, however, due to his history of brain and skull surgery, the timetable for recovery has yet to be determined and he is being monitored by leading specialists and WWE medical staff.
In the ring, Baron Corbin said I sat there last week and saw Bron Breakker crush Von Wagner’s skull. I don’t like Von Wagner and I’m not going to pretend I do. Von Wagner’s brain surgeries were real and Bron took advantage of that. Von Wagner will never be the same again. He said he has something to say to Breakker and he needs to come out here now. Breakker came out. Corbin told Breakker what he did last week was awesome. Breakker called Corbin an idiot. He said did you really think I did what I did last week to gain your approval? I did what I did because Von Wagner put me through a table so I ended his career. Corbin said I came out here to be nice. I was even going to offer to pay your fine. I am on a higher level than you. You should want my respect, but you spit on it. Breakker said I don’t care about your respect and I don’t need it and I don’t want it. There’s only one thing left to do and that’s me and you at No Mercy. You’re going to leave the building the same way as Von Wagner did last week. Corbin said I’m not Vaughn and slapped Breakker. Breakker slapped him back. They exchanged punches before security broke them up.

They showed Hail with Jacy Jayne. Two guys came up to them and asked what they did this weekend. Hail said Jacy took me out. They asked Hail if she stayed out past her bedtime and if she needed permission from Mr. Chase. Jacy told them not to talk to talk to her like that and slapped him. Hail said I don’t need permission, got him in an armbreaker and gave him a low blow. Hail told Jayne I don’t want to look like this anymore and next week we’re going shopping.
Dana Brooke (w/ Kelani Jordan) vs Lyra Valkyria
Valkyria slammed Brooke and followed it up with several kicks. Valkyria hit Brooke with a spinning leg kick and came off the top rope with a splash to pin her.

After the match, Valkyria offered to shake Brooke’s hand. Brooke shook her hand. Valkyria turned around to leave the ring and Brooke was going to attack her from behind, but Jordan stopped her.
In the back, Eddy Thorpe said he’s still mad at Dijak. Dijak appeared on the monitor. Dijak went to the land Thorpe visits. He pulled off his belt and said Thorpe needs to engage his viciousness because I’m going to mark your territory. Dijak whipped the tree with his belt.
Backstage, Dominik Mysterio told Carmelo Hayes that at one point he said the North American Championship was the A Championship. Now that I’m the North American Champion, I’m the A Champion. Hayes challenged Dominik to a match next week and Dominik said he will talk to Mami.
Backstage, Becky Lynch said it’s good to be home and tonight I’m going to walk out as NXT Champion. Kiana James showed up and told Becky Lynch I don’t want you here and I don’t want you as champion and if it was you and I tonight, I would send you back to RAW empty-handed. Lynch said normally I would take that as an application for an ass whooping, but when I become NXT Champion, I will be coming around here a lot more.
