*Pretty Deadly backstage with McKenzie…she reads a tweet by Drew McIntyre warning PD about the receipt they have coming from his fellow Scotsmen…the tasty treats do not seem phased by the warning.

(5)  Tiffany Stratton def. Katana Chance…when Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn distract Katana, she hesitates to deliver a high cross body & gets caught by Stratton…who powers Katana to her shoulders, hits a fireman’s carry roll & springs to the buckles for a Jumping Moonsault for the win (03:36)…AFTER…Tiffany is the best, but she wants to be NXT Women’s Champion…so she wants the winner after Roxy & Meiko fight next week.
