The show opens right into introductions for our opening match without wasting any time.
Chad Gable vs. Noam Dar (c) (NXT Heritage Cup)
Round One
Gable with a wristlock, Dar wriggling out of it, hip toss, Chad maintains control with a head-and-arm triangle and shifts to a front chancery. Noam with a wristlock, hammerlock, Gable squatting and stretching to reverse, fireman’s carry gets a headscissors and Chad wrenches it in when Dar tries to bridge out.
Noam out, elbow drop to the thigh, side headlock, chainsawing his forearm across the Olympian’s face, Chad to his feet and he leverages himself out and into a wristlock.

Chad blocks Nova Roller and reverses into an ankle lock! Slung off into the turnbuckles... and the feed drops and I cannot get it back, sorry y’all.
I get it back up during the next commercial break and thanks to the handy dandy spoiler machine I can tell you...
The match goes to a 1-1 time limit draw in the sixth round, ensuring Noam Dar retains the NXT Heritage Cup.
Immediately after the bell, Dar taps to the ankle lock, so we’re probably not done here yet.
Back from commercial, the D’Angelo Family are chatting about how tonight is about them, and they walk into their restaurant and say hi to everybody. Their lady associate offers a toast and the Don wants to get eating.
Backstage, Carmelo Hayes is hanging out when Trick Williams rolls up.
He talks about qualifying for Iron Survivor Challenge last week and says tonight is Hayes’ night, and he’ll get his dub. Melo says if Trick got in, he’s gotta get in, and he can’t sleep on Josh Briggs. Williams says Brooks Jensen and Fallon Henley will be at ringside, so tonight they should give the people what they want and he’ll be at ringside.
Hayes turns him down and gets ahead of himself and Williams warns him to slow down and focus on tonight.
Xia Li attacks Lyra Valkyria during her entrance and drops her with a kick! Medics check on Lyra and begin helping her to the back, and we go to break with the status of her match questionable.

Lyra Valkyria is interviewed backstage.
She scoffs and says the title match is still happening and she doesn’t need to be at 100%, but even at 10% there’s no way she’s letting Xia Li walk away.
Wes Lee is shown walking backstage and we go to break.
Back from commercial, we get a media hype reel for Backlash being in France next year.
Von Wagner knocks on Robert Stone’s door, carrying a tupperware of half-eaten Cosmic Brownies. Stone’s wife and kids greet him and the kids are all about the brownies. Von is stoked that the pasta is full of sausages and no asparagus, and the kids complain about mean kids at recess and Wagner offers to take care of it but dad says no fights.
Except when mom and dad go to get dessert, he tells them to write the names down and he’ll take care of it. The brownies come out, everybody chows down, and that’s the segment.
Wes Lee makes his entrance and gets on the mic.
He says he feels like we all know him by now. He wears his heart on his sleeve and he’s extremely real with us, so we know why he’s out here— Dominik Mysterio. Dom has the North American Championship, and Judgment Day have all the gold headed into WarGames.
When he sees Mysterio, he sees red, and not just because he’s the lowest form of human being with a punchable face, but he has the title that belongs to him. People lose and win titles all the time, but when he was champion, he felt like he belonged. He found himself, and hell, all of us accepted him.
Including all of us through the screen.
Enter Dominik Mysterio.
He talks about how he made the title more relevant than Wes ever did, Lee fires back and says his title reign has just been Judgment Day saving his ass every time, but like a cockroach he’ll continue to survive, and that’s why Wes is coming for the title and he’s willing to do anything and everything to get it back.
Dom is willing to give him a match for it, as long as he agrees that if he loses, he’ll never challenge for it again. Lee accepts!
A video package about the Chase U “scandal” follows
Thea Hail is chatting with Jacy Jayne backstage.
Jayne gives her a pep talk and says she’ll have her back tonight and always.
And so we go to break.
Backstage, Josh Briggs has a brief run-in with Tiffany Stratton before she leaves and Brooks and Fallon roll up.
Henley wants to know what Stratton wanted but Josh brushes her off and they go off together.
Blair Davenport vs. Thea Hail (Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifying Match)
Davenport with an armbar early, hanging on through an arm drag, shift to a Fujiwara armbar, grinding Hail down. Blair on the floor, Jacy jaws at her enough for Thea to land a suicide dive and follow it up with a suplex on the floor! Back inside, somersault leg drop, fired up, but Davenport catches her...
Blair Davenport wins by pinfall.
Post-match, Jacy comforts Thea and we go to break.
Back from commercial, we get a video package where Baron Corbin talks about how Ilja Dragunov has a joyless life of putting his body on the line constantly whereas Baron has money and a family and so on.

Grinding him down with a rear chinlock, clubbing blows to the shoulder, Cobra Twist, wrist control and a chinlock, Eddy fights out with a hip toss!
Chops backing Charlie into the corner, forearms, rolling solebutt into an enzuigiri and he’s putting it together. Dempsey looking for an octopus hold, he gets it, wrenching back on Thorpe’s fingers to boot! Eddy rolls through, cover...
Eddy Thorpe wins by pinfall with a counter pin.
Post-match, Drew Gulak and Myles Borne hit the ring and beat Thorpe down while Dempsey tries to wrench his arm out of socket! The three of them stand tall and throw the Catch Point handshake up!
Back to dinner with the Don and the D’Angelo Family. Tony recieves tribute from various members of the family, he’s happy with some envelopes and unhappy with others.
They leave the restaurant and get jumped by Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo, who say the next time they see them they’ll remember what they did to them before driving off. Tony says if they want it, they got it.
We see Lyra Valkyria getting ready to head out for her match and we go to break.
Back from commercial, Arianna Grace cuts a promo about how she’s a real beauty queen and was attacked heinously by Karmen Petrovic.
