- Ava announced the process that will eventually crown the NXT Women’s North American champion. Superstars will compete in a combine and the 12 most impressive going into 6 qualifying matches for a ladder match at Battleground.

- Backstage, Roxanne Perez blames Ava for not being drafted to Raw or SmackDown, despite how champions were protected.
- Also backstage, Josh Briggs told Ivar that his ribs are healed and he’s the only one who can beat Oba Femi. Wes Lee then comes over to them to say he’s looking for a shot. Briggs doesn’t want Lee to skip the line. Lee is willing to beat him to earn a shot. Ivar isn’t done with Femi, though.
- NXT Tag Team Championship Match: Axiom & Nathan Frazer (c) defeated AOP by pinfall with a roll-up due to some interference help from New Catch Republic.

- In the parking lot, Meta-Four was asked about Lash Legend’s comments from earlier. Noam Dar invited Trick Williams to be his guest next week on Supernova Sessions to reveal more. Also, Kelani Jordan was asking Fallon Henley what she was doing out there attacking Thea Hail. Henley said that it’s time for her to put herself first.
- Malik Blade, Edris Enofe and Brinley Reece talked about Enofe breaking a mirror last week and the possibility of 7 years of bad luck. To help offset that, Reece brought them some kittens, which turned out to be black cats.
- NXT Underground Match: Lola Vice defeated Natalya by knockout
- In Ava’s office, Roxanne Perez was watching this fight and is mad that she’s even in the office. Ava informed her that she’ll be defending her championship against Chelsea Green.
