The show opens with a long video package setting up our weaponized steel cage match between Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne tonight.
Gigi Dolin vs. Jacy Jayne (Weaponized Steel Cage Match)
Jacy attacks Gigi during her entrance and beats her down outside of the cage at length! Inside the cage, finally the match begins and Jayne goes into a duffel back and comes out with a leather strap, whipping Dolin with it! Jacy sets up a chair but that gives Gigi enough time to grab a trash can lid and wallop her with it!
Jayne puts her into the chair, horsecollars her but she ducks the kick and crossbodies Jacy through it! Gigi putting her into the steel, grabbing the leather strap herself now and whipping Jayne with it over and over! Putting the trash can over her head, Dolin lays Kawada kicks in!
Putting her in the ropes with the trash can on her, Gigi dropkicks the trash can into a cover for two! Jacy turns it around and hits her with the trash can and we go to break!
Back from commercial, Jayne chokes her with a chain but Dolin throws her off and into a chair wedged in the corner! Kick combination, short-arm STO, cover... NOPE! Pile of chairs in the middle of the ring, Jacy with a neckbreaker... NOT ENOUGH! Slugging it out with forearms, Jacy blasts her with a boot and cannonballs her into a trash can for two!
Jockeying for position in front of a table, moving over to the turnbuckles, back and forth, Gigi smashing Jacy’s face into the steel over and over... AVALANCHE STO OFF THE TURNBUCKLES AND THROUGH THE TABLE DOES IT!

And so we go to break.
Back from commercial, we get footage of Tony D’Angelo getting booked and having his mugshot taken.
Gallus are hanging out backstage chatting up their successful title defense on Sunday and claiming no one can stop them when Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo appears to teach them a lesson about how snitches get stitches before being overwhelmed by their superior numbers until referees intervene and kick Gallus out of the arena.
Carmelo Hayes and Trick williams make their entrance and get on the mic.
Trick recounts Melo going to his hometown and retaining the title, and Hayes gives us a more colorful recap of how the match went before telling us you gotta take shots if you want to make shots and this is just another brick laid down in the Melo dynasty.
Enter Noam Dar and his new entourage.
He says Hayes wasn’t the only one to retain his title, pointing out that he retained his NXT Heritage Championship decisively, beating Dragon Lee not once but twice. Williams points out he cheated and tells him interrupting Trick and Melo is a super-no-no.
Carmelo gives it to him and says he’s really like that and the trophy puts him on a high level, but the NXT Championship puts him on the highest level. He may have beaten Dragon Lee twice, but he’ll bet anything that Dar couldn’t even beat him once.
Noam challenges him to defend his title tonight against him, and accuses him of not having what it takes the defend the title every night. Lash Legend says something about load management and Hayes accepts the challenge!
We get footage of Cora Jade kvetching to the women’s locker room about how she really deserves to be NXT Women’s Championship until Ivy Nile rolls up to tell her to suck it up. Jade sputters and a matchup is made for later today.
Schism make their entrance and we go to break.
Back from commercial we get another Battleground recap.
Reginald rolls up to chat with Axiom and reveals that while Reggie is his given name, his people have called him SCRYPTS forever. He just wanted to say he appreciates what Axiom did for him when he took his mask off and opened his eyes.
Now it’s like he’s living in the sunlight, and he couldn’t just sit back and watch Dabba-Kato take him out last week.

He lets her get in the ring to confront Drew and Charlie. Hail agrees not to cry or run away and she and Dempsey circle before we cut away.
Tiffany Stratton makes her first entrance as NXT Women’s Champion and gets in a ring festooned with pictures of her and tinsel.
She says she claimed her rightful spot on the tippy top of NXT and she talks about all the future Hall of Famers who held the title before her and says tonight she’s going to show everyone what it means to be a true champion, and when she thinks of what a champion is, she thinks of herself.
To continue her Tiffybration she invites the entire locker room to come down and celebrate her, but no one comes out.
She says she guesses nobody wants to know who her first challenger will be and finally the women of NXT make their way to ringside. She says she knows they’re all starstruck and want to know what’s next for her, and she thinks she’s gonna be champion for a long, long time, because nobody can sit with her.
On her way back home she had a Tiffany Epiphany and decided to give everyone an opportunity at her Tiffy Title, and it’s gonna be a #1 contender’s battle royal next week but it doesn’t matter who wins because as far as she knows and as long as she wants, it’s Tiffy Time.
Streamers and balloons rain down and Thea Hail slides in the ring to attack her, which sets off a brawl that sends Stratton running! She pouts on the floor about how they ruined her moment, she hates all of them, and they all suck.
Trick Williams is on the phone when Lash Legend and the rest of Noam Dar’s entourage roll up to talk trash about Carmelo Hayes, but Trick isn’t buying what they’re saying. Oro Mensah tells him Melo’s gonna get beat. Williams calls him a shyster (oof) and they bicker back and forth.
