The following spoilers were taped on 8/23/18. Thanks to Jacob Cohen.
– Dominik Dijakovic defeated Marcel Barthel
– Johnny Gargano walked out to the ring. He was using a crutch. He says that the fans always had his back but he doesn’t deserve it because he broke a promise to them by losing and admits that he lost himself. Gargano said that he has turned into Ciampa. William Regal walked out and asked Gargano if he attacked Aleister Black. Velveteen Dream walked out and said that he is sick of the whining from Gargano and “tonight is about The Dream.” The crowd chanted “Johnny Failure” at Gargano and they would chant other negative things at him later in the night. Regal announced Gargano vs. Dream for next week.

– Kassius Ohno defeated Kona Reeves
– Ohno grabbed the microphone after the match and said that there was so much buzz when he returned to NXT…until there wasn’t. Ohno says he became an afterthought so now he wants to go after the next guy who has a buzz and he will be the first one to welcome him. Sounds like he is talking about Matt Riddle.
