Match

Something happened to Finn Balor, so the regularly scheduled singles match was canceled. The match was changed to Velveteen Dream and Keith Lee vs. Adam Cole and Roderick Strong.

The referee immediately ejected Bobby Fish. While everyone was preoccupied with Bobby Fish, Damian Priest came to the ringside area and hit Keith Lee in the throat with a night stick (twice). NXT went to commercial.

Back from commercial, Velveteen Dream was wrestling a handicap match. The Undisputed Era had Velveteen Dream isolated and dead to rights. All of a sudden, Dexter Lumis appeared on the apron and Dream tagged him into the match. Apparently the match is now Lumis and Dream vs. Undisputed Era. Lumis destroyed both members of the the Undisputed Era. Velveteen Dream hit the purple rain maker to pin the NXT champion.
