Recap by: Jason Namako of Wrestleview.com
Show opens with a 10-bell salute with the entire NXT roster on the entrance ramp, along with WWE COO Triple H, to the late WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes.
We see the usual intro, then commentary welcomes us to the show.
Greg Hamilton is in the ring to interview the injured Hideo Itami, who makes his way to the ring. Itami says that he has a torn rotator cuff, got surgery and will be out for several months. Itami says when he comes back, he will come after the man who attacked him.
Kevin Owens comes out onto the rampway and says he had nothing to do with Itami’s injury, then wants Itami to apologize for calling him a bad person. Itami refuses and repeats what he has said about Owens. Owens starts to make his way to the ring to go after Itami, when Finn Balor runs out and goes after Owens. Balor knocks down Owens and goes to leap off the ramp onto him, when Rhyno nails him out of nowhere, knocking Balor off the ramp.
Balor vs. Rhyno is announced for tonight’s main event.
The Jersey Boys w/Carmella def. Jason Jordan & Sylvester LeFort by pinfall when Enzo Amore pinned Jordan with a Roll-Up. Afterwards, Jordan blamed LeFort for the loss.
