Commentary talks about a Schism family meeting and we go to break.
Back from commercial, Meta-Four are interviewed backstage.
They talk about how they’re stronger than ever despite the fact that Noam Dar needs Oro Mensah to put earmuffs on him when asked about his Heritage Cup.
Schism are in the ring for a family meeting.
Ava Raine says the only remedy is through open and honest communication, and Joe Gacy encourages the Dyad to express themselves freely. Jagger Reid starts, saying Gacy said their lives would change but he’s not seeing it, and they’re just losing now that they’re with the Schism.
He says Joe preaches togetherness, but either he’s lost his way or he’s full of crap. Gacy thanks Reid for his honesty and says he owns his mistakes but to say that he never changed their life? Before he met him, he couldn’t have said the things he just said because Rip Fowler didn’t let him have a voice.
He rescued them from obscurity and gave them a new home. Fowler admits they were in a bad place when Gacy showed them a new way, but recently they’ve started to see cracks. He flips his preaching back and forth and it just doesn’t add up, and they’re realizing who they really are.
Maybe the problem was never them, maybe— Raine cuts them off and Gacy says he preached inclusivity and that brought Ava to them and he’ll never apologize for that. He asks if they hesitated to commit to the Schism, and if he’s such a dictator then why are they sitting before him different than before?
Enter Diamond Mine.
Rip says this has nothing to do with any of them, and Julius Creed says Ava used a loaded mask to win the trios match, and asks why they don’t hurry up and implode already. Joe asks what the problem is and says Diamond Mine is a poison in NXT far worse than the Schism ever was.
Creed says the Schism are cancerous and want to take over NXT, and he and his brother are standing here to let him know they won’t let that happeny. Gacy says if they want another match, they can have one, Creeds vs. the Dyad next week... this time, the loser leaves NXT!
We get a video package for Lucien Price and Bronco Nima.
Hank Walker, Tank Ledger, SCRYPTS, and Axiom are backstage talking about the impact Price and Nima will have. Hank and Tank assume Axiom and SCRYPTS are a tag team, they deny it, Nathan Frazer rolls up and Axiom wishes him best of luck defending the NXT Heritage Cup tonight, and we go to break.
Back from commercial, Trick Williams gives Carmelo Hayes a pep talk while he warms up for his title match later.
Rhea Ripley rolls up for some reason.
She’s here to send Hayes a message that helping Seth Rollins was a dumb decision and now he’s their business.

A video package of Gable Steveson training Eddy Thorpe for his match against Damon Kemp follows, and we go to break.

He apologizes for slapping Wes in the face last week and admits he got too involved in the match. Lee tells him to stick to being a really dope wrestler and Bate takes issue with the idea that Mustafa called it down the middle and asks for another shot with a real referee.
Ali says Tyler had his chance and he’d like a shot first. Bate asks to be referee for the match, he and Mustafa bicker, Wes takes the title and walks off and leaves them to it.
