Match

Strong and Riddle went through a long feeling out process. The first major move was a gut wrench suplex from Matt Riddle, but it did not earn him an advantage. Strong eventually got a couple of knees to the midsection and some high kicks before draping Riddle over the top rope sending NXT to a commercial break.

Back from the break, Riddle seemed to turn things around with a pele kick and several strikes, but Strong didn’t let him maintain the advantage for long as he cinched in the Strong Hold. Riddle came right back and hit Bro To Sleep and a German suplex for a near fall.

After a running knee to the face and an Olympic Slam, Strong got a near fall. When Strong began running the rope hitting Riddle with forearm shots, Riddle stopped him and hit the Broderick for the pinfall victory.
