- The Creed Brothers defeated Grizzled Young Veterans by pinfall to advance to the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic finals.
- Backstage, Cora Jade was interviewed by McKenzie Mitchell about how she and Raquel Gonzalez are now in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament. Yulisa Leon and Valentina Feroz popped up to talk some trash with Gonzalez that wasn’t translated.
- Wendy Choo apparently maxed out Tiffany Stratton’s credit card with Amari Miller.
- Tiffany Stratton defeated Wendy Choo by pinfall.
- Pete Dunne defeated Draco Anthony by pinfall and then fought with Tony D’Angelo before challenging D’Angelo to up the ante with their cage match. Now, that will be a “weaponized steel cage match” at Vengeance Day (aka an asylum match)
- Zoey Stark convinced Io Shirai to pick a new tag team partner who is as crazy as she is. Shirai said she knew who she’d pick, but didn’t tell Stark.
- Dakota Kai was rummaging through Wendy Choo’s clothes and said her new wardrobe won’t buy her victories in the ring.
- LA Knight defeated Sanga by pinfall. LA Knight laid out Grayson Waller after the match.
- McKenzie Mitchell interviewed Duke Hudson about how Dante Chen wants revenge on him. Hudson pointed out that Chen’s not here for a reason, then winked as he told Indi Hartwell to bring home the tag titles.
- Championship Summit: Bron Breakker and Santos Escobar talked some trash to each other and were interrupted by Dolph Ziggler, who said “You wanted to know if I work Tuesdays? Apparently, I do now.” and asked Breakker who the hell he was. Breakker said he’s the NXT champion and the reason Ziggler’s there, and after he handles Escobar, he’ll handle Ziggler. Ziggler ran down some of his accolades and what he’s capable of. One title he doesn’t have to his name is the NXT Championship. Tommaso Ciampa then came out. It’s a hard pass from him to have Ziggler as NXT champion. Ziggler asked when Ciampa’s going to take the helmet and elbow pads and training wheels off. Ciampa went after Ziggler and Legado del Fantasma used that distraction to gang up on Breakker before putting him through the table.
- Next week, Waller is going to get LA Knight arrested for breaking the restraining order.
- Sarray defeated Dakota Kai by pinfall.
- Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams sat around the barber shop talking about how Cameron Grimes has accomplished nothing so far in NXT compared to Melo.
- Backstage, Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta were approached by Toxic Attraction, who tried to get in their heads by showing them a picture of Indi with Duke Hudson, leading to a fight breaking out.
- Vignette: Nikkita Lyons is a jack of all trades who can sing and kick ass.
- Brooks Jensen botched asking Kayden Carter out and made it a group thing of hanging out with Kacy Catanzaro and Josh Briggs on Valentine’s Day, too. Jensen suggested Briggs take Kacy to the movies so he can get some alone time with Kayden and handed him eight bucks. Briggs pointed out how movies are 20 bucks a piece these days and Jensen said he isn’t made of money.
- Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament Match: MSK defeated Malik Blade and Edris Enofe by pinfall to advance to the final versus The Creed Brothers.
- Wendy Choo gloated about Dakota Kai’s loss.
- Toxic Attraction was attacked backstage by Hartwell and Pirotta, forcing Mandy Rose to go into her title match alone.
- NXT Women’s Championship Match: Mandy Rose (c) retained over Kay Lee Ray by pinfall with some help from Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne interfering. Io Shirai then came out to make the save for Kay Lee Ray after the match and took out Toxic Attraction. Shirai and Ray were left in the ring together, indicating they’ll team up for the tournament.
