DOMINIK DIJAKOVIC vs. RAUL MENDOZA : Just like last week, Dominik Dijakovic made short work of his opponent. Raul Mendoza took the advantage briefly, but when Dijakovic got it back by countering a springboard attack into a sit-out chokeslam, he didn’t give it up. He gave Mendoza the Time to Fly and then executed Feast Your Eyes for the win. (6:15) Winner: Dominik Dijakovic
Pete Dunne was interviewed about his actions last week, where he attacked his tag team partner Adam Page at the conclusion of their match. Dunne said that Page hit him first, he wasn’t looking to be anyone’s tag team partner, and he didn’t particularly care for the redneck cowboy anyway. As far as Dunne’s concerned, Page got what he deserved.
EMBER MOON vs. TENILLE DASHWOOD : Ember Moon countered a running attack from Tenille Dashwood with a Samoan drop. She kipped up and went to climb the turnbuckles. Peyton Royce of the IIconics grabbed her leg to try to keep her from getting to the top rope, but Moon kicked her away. Billie Kay shouted loudly for all to hear that Moon was on the top rope, so when Dashwood got to her feet, to did a somersault out of the way and Moon’s attempt at the Eclipse failed. Dashwood immediately connected with a discus elbow smash and then the Spotlight Kick. She pinned Moon for the win to secure her spot at Takeover: Brooklyn. (11:20) Winner: Tenille Dashwood
Kevin Owens was asked for his reaction to the news that he will challenge WALTER for the NXT Championship at Takeover: Brooklyn. Owens said that William Regal made the right choice, proving that NXT management is clearly superior to WWE management. Owens said that while WALTER may want him to leave, Owens isn’t going anywhere. He likes this gig better than his old one because he gets to spend more time with his family. Everything he does is for them. Some people might disagree with some of his actions, but they are all for one thing – to provide for his family. Ultimately, the best way to do that is to be the best wrestler on the planet, get your name on the marquee, and win championships. He’s already got two of those bases covered, and at Takeover: Brooklyn, he’ll cover the third when he wins the NXT Championship.
#DIY vs. LUCHA BROTHERS : The Lucha Brothers were setting up for their finisher on Tommaso Ciampa, when he gave Penta a back body drop to free himself. Rey Fénix attempted a diving hurricanrana on him, but he countered with a powerbomb. Ciampa tagged in Johnny Gargano, who gave Penta a superkick upon entering the ring. Ciampa tossed Penta out of the ring and together with Gargano, they gave Fénix a Meeting in the Middle. Gargano pinned him for the win. (13:09) Winners: #DIY
Dominik Dijakovic was interviewed backstage about having two wins in as many weeks. He said that he expected to have a long winning streak and predicted that it would`t be long before the NXT Championship was in his hands. Santos Escobar interrupted the interview to say that Dijakovic has had two lucky wins but Legado del Fantasma would right the record against him soon. Dijakovic asked if he wanted to step up to the plate. Escobar said that he would take him on anytime.
CHAD GABLE vs. WALTER : Chad Gable used his speed to great effect in the opening minute of the contest, but when he tried to bring WALTER to the mat, things quickly went south on him. WALTER pummeled Gable with punishing chops, forearms, punches, lariats and suplexes on route to submitted him to a Gojira Clutch. After the match, WALTER took a microphone and had a simple message for Kevin Owens. This is what he can expect will happen to him at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn. (4:48) Winner: WALTER
