*Jacy Jayne backstage, finds her tag title hanging from a beam…she pulls it down as Cora Jade slams cage doors closed behind her, trapping Jayne.

*Tommaso Ciampa to the ring…recaps his journey through NXT…he’s searching for his perfect fairytale ending to close this chapter…he’s not sure what that will be, but he’s not going to pass up the chance to say “thank you” to the fans…Tony D’Angelo shows up behind him with a crowbar, but respects him enough not to use it…challenges Ciampa for a match at Stand & Deliver…they shake on it & “respectful” Tony delivers a low blow & a (real) Kiss of Death.

(4)  Indi Hartwell defeats Persia Pirotta…Duke Hudson comes to ringside to distract Indi…Persia gets Indi up in the fireman’s carry…Dexter Lumis crawls out from under the ring & distracts Persia…Indi escapes & Rolls Up Persia for the win (02:25)…AFTER…the couples try to “out-sexy” each other with make out & dry humping sessions…which gets a big thumbs up from Dexter.

*Gigi Dolan is looking for her title in the parking lot…finds it on the lip of a dumpster…Gigi has to climb in to retrieve it…Cora Jade lowers the blades of a forklift to trap Gigi in the dumpster…two down, one to go.

*Scott Hall video package.

*Cora Jade considers spray painting Mandy’s SUV, but decides to go for a joyride instead…but Mandy is hiding inside & gives Jade a beating & spray paints the Toxic Attraction logo on her back…a very nWo-esque move.

*Creed Brothers to the ring, they’re not leaving until they find & face their attackers…MSK out, they swear they didn’t attack the Creeds but they’re peeved that the Creeds cost them their tag title match…Imperium interrupt from the riser, they’re ready to defend their titles in a triple threat at Stand & Deliver…they fear no one.
