Cold Open Recap of Last Week’s Title Matches

Imperium defeats BroserWeights

Thatcher and Barthel start by exchanging holds in the middle of the ring. Eventually Riddle got in the ring and ran wild on both members of Imperium. When Riddle went for the Broton, Aichner put up his knees. Imperium took back over as NXT went to commercial.

Back from commercial, Imperium had Riddle isolated. Riddle monkey flipped one member of Imperium right into Matt Riddle. Thatcher decided to take a hike as Riddle screamed for him. Riddle became a one man wrecking crew taking out both men, but the numbers finally caught up with him.

Imperium hit the European bomb and secured the pinfall victory. Imperium are new Tag Team Champions and Riddle has lost his first match of 2020.

Grimes immediately went for the cave-in, but he didn’t connect. Cameron Grimes had the advantage when NXT went to commercial. Cameron Grimes slapped Balor across the face, but Balor answered by taking Grimes off his feet and stomping him across the chest. With Grimes standing on the floor, Balor ran across the apron and hit a PK.

All of a sudden Damian Priest appeared and hit Balor with his night stick. Grimes hit the cave in for the pinfall victory. This ends Finn Balor’s undefeated streak.

Post Match

Jack Gallagher defeats Swerve Scott

Tony Nese attacked Swerve before he could make it to the ring. Nese is obviously upset about Swerve saying Nese should quit the business.

Jack Gallagher hit a running high kick as soon as the bell rang. He covered Swerve, but Scott got his foot on the bottom rope.

Scott hit the house call, but Gallagher surprisingly kicked out. Gallagher surprised Swerve with a guillotine. Jack got the pinfall victory after a discus elbow strike.

Kayden Carter defeats Aliyah

Aliyah and Carter started the match with single leg takedowns. Carter used an O’Connor roll and a slingshot dropkick, but Aliyah came back with aggression. Aliyah backed Carter into a corner and laid in some shots. Robert Stone made his way to the ringside area.

Carter wrapped Aliyah up in a submission and got the victory. This did not impress Robert Stone.

Matt Riddle defeats Timothy Thatcher

Thatcher and Riddle went for quite some time without anyone getting a serious advantage before the first commercial break. When NXT returned, Thatcher had the advantage.

Riddle went for the floating bro, but Thatcher put his knees up and cinched in the Fujiwara arm bar. Thatcher transitioned into a knee bar, but Riddle somehow worked his way into a pin and won the match.

Post Match

Thatcher attacked and put Riddle in the Fujiwara Arm Bar. This continued until NXT went off the air.
