- Manny Andrade defeated Tye Dillinger
- American Alpha defeated Blake & Murphy

Per Wrestling Observer's NXT correspondent JJ Williams, this and Mandy's impromptu title shot featured a lot of headlocks and basic stuff from the Tough Enough alums. Unlike the Total Divas' star getting Hugplexed, ZZ rolling up the former Biff Busick is going to piss off many in NXT's fanbase.
I'm as excited about our American Alpha-dominated future as the next guy, but let's not sleep on the current tag champs all-around skills...
Wanna see #TheRevival put on a tag team clinic before we blow the roof off at #NXTDallas? Come NOW to #NXTOrlando.

What's next? Fittingly for after what was kind of structured like a televised 'go home' show, Axxess and then a little show in the Lone Star state on Friday, April 1st.
