We get video of Mandy Rose going to a tanning salon earlier today.
She invites the other Toxics to come join her and lays down in the bed, unawares that Wendy Choo is dressed like a shark to sneak in and turn her controls all the way up. Rose gets out of the bed a horrible shade of red and doesn’t notice until Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne greet her with confused and terrified stares.
They make their excuses and leave her to her reflection, which she screams on seeing.
Nathan Frazer is interviewed backstage.
He says this is like a dozen Christmases and birthdays rolled into one and he’s been waiting for this his entire life.
Grayson Waller makes his entrance to send us to break.
Back from commercial, Roderick Strong rolls up on the Creed Brothers to give them a pep talk and remind them that he’s the leader of Diamond Mine, with Malcolm Bivens’ departure left completely unacknowledged.
Duke Hudson rolls up on Indi Hartwell, who looks like she’s in mourning.
He’s pensive for a moment and she says “oh hell no!” which leads him to “you wish!” and me to roll my eyes.
Grayson Waller vs. Nathan Frazer
Frazer ready to go, side headlock, shot off, leapfrog, drop down, dropkick takes Waller off his feet! Headlock takeover, hanging onto it, drop down, leapfrog, hip toss but Nathan lands an upkick and another headlock!

Back from commercial, we see Bron Breakker warming up backstage.
We see Legado del Fantasma waiting as Tony D’Angelo and his boys roll up.
Tony says tonight they’ll settle things like businessmen, and Santos says no. Out on the street, everyone can trust him, but with D’Angelo, he can’t see the trust, because he keeps playing games. They talk about how peace is best for both of them and make a toast to the peace agreement.
And so we go to break.
Back from commercial, the Viking Raiders are interviewed backstage.
They say the Creeds are world-class athletes but they’re grown-ass men.
Pretty Deadly roll up to tell them they’re facing damaged goods, and the Vikings say if they interrupt again they’ll damage their goods.

Back from commercial, Natalya in control, she gets Jade up in a Canadian backbreaker rack, and follows it up with a lariat! Neidhart draws her up, tag to Legend, working Cora over as a heat segment rolls on. Tag to Lyons, running hot with kicks, trading nearfalls with Nattie, running blockbuster... NOPE!
Lash in, big dropkick into mounted punches, Neidhart has a malfunction at the junction and knocks her down, Nikkita sends her packing and drops Legend with a huge German suplex! Tag to Jade, diving senton...

Back from commercial, Toxic Attraction’s tag team are walking outside when Wendy Choo and Roxanne Perez are shown following them to the beach.
Gigi and Jacy frolic in the surf and we see Choo and Perez stealing their shoes and their car keys. They give a merry chase but get stymied by the hot pavement between them and their car.
Creed Brothers (Brutus & Julius Creed) vs. Viking Raiders (Erik & Ivar)
Vikings in control on Julius early but he’s able to kick out of Viking Experience! Tag to Brutus, cleaning house, grounded punches on Erik, following it up with a Karelin lift, slamming his own brother into the big viking!

Post-match, Roderick Strong and the Creeds jaw at each other a bunch.
In the parking lot, Santos Escobar chats with Tony D’Angelo’s pal and tells him he knows how important he is to him and knees him in the gut before kidnapping him!
And so we go to break.
Back from commercial, we get another Alba Fyre vignette.
We see Brooks Jensen getting checked out by a trainer, who says his unusually strong arm muscles mean he’ll heal from his injury sooner than the 10-12 week estimate, in about 6-8 weeks.
Bron Breakker (c) vs. Joe Gacy (NXT Championship)
Feeling out, Breakker sends Gacy to the floor where he’s slow to return but Bron pulls him back inside. Joe cuts him off with a front chancery, standing neck crank, he blasts the champion off the apron and heads out after him. Whip reversed, Tiger feint lariat sends Bron crashing down as we go to break.
Back from commercial, Gacy hangs upside down in the turnbuckles and hits a Rock Bottom out of it for two! Grinding Breakker down, throwing headbutts, Hot Shot into shoulder blocks from the champ! Off the ropes, duck a lariat, throw a big one of his own... NOPE! Inverted DDT gets another two and both men slowly rise.
Diving bulldog from the champ, front kick and the straps are down! Military press, Gacy slips out, forearm to the kidneys but Bron hits a Frankensteiner and a belly-to-belly for recovery!
