“WWE: Then. Now. Forever.”

We get a video package hyping the #1 Contender’s Match between Hideo Itami and Roderick Strong set for tonight, before the NXT intro takes us to a darkened Full Sail University as Aleister Black makes his entrance. He sits in a meditative pose in the center of the ring, before moving to the corner as we see his opponent for the night, Cezar Bononi. The bell rings, and this match is underway!

Aleister Black vs. Cezar Bononi

We see the size advantage Cezar has over Black as both men come to blows, but Black brings Cezar down with a hard kick. Cezar rolls out of the ring, and Black fakes him out before he sits in the ring. Cezar back in the ring, putting some hard rights into Black before Black goes for a kick that Cezar ducks, only to take a knee to the face!Black hits another knee to the back, followed by the Black Mass for the win!

Winner via pinfall: Aleister Black

Black sits in the middle of the ring as we get replays of the match. We look back at the chaos from last week’s Battle Royal to determine a #1 Contender for the Women’s Championship, which ended with Asuka attacking the final three competitors. We find out that Asuka will face all three of these women at Takeover, but we get an update that reveals Ember Moon is out of the title match. Moon promises that when she gets back, she will be better. Commentary hypes the Triple Threat match at Takeover as Asuka defends her title against Nikki Cross and Ruby Riot, before we see Roderick Strong getting ready for his match against Hideo Itami later tonight. Commentary hypes that main event before we go to break!

Back from break, we thank Hacktivist for “Over-Throne,” one of the official themes of Takeover: Chicago! We find out that Pete Dunne has earned an opportunity to face Tyler Bate for the United Kingdom Championship at Takeover: Chicago! We take a look at the Bruiserweight, Pete Dunne, who talks about his style and upbringing. We then get a look at one of the newest women in NXT, Ruby Riot! She talks about her tattoos, and the stories they tell…including her start in NXT! “Tonight, we start a Riot!” Commentary hypes the match for Takeover, as we go to an attempted interview with Nikki Cross…who messes around with the equipment, calling out Riot and Asuka in the process. Backstage, we see Hideo Itami getting ready for his match against Roderick Strong later tonight. We go to Drew McIntyre, asked about the #1 Contender’s Match later tonight. He’s disappointed he’s not in it, but he’s learned if something isn’t happening for you, you just have to take it. He is interrupted by Wesley Blake, who says he deserves another chance…and that Drew should just leave. Blake walks off, with Drew just rolling his eyes.

#DIY are in the ring to a great reaction from the crowd. They both have microphones, and Gargano speaks first saying the Authors are the biggest and the baddest, but they have what we want. Ciampa says the fact is, we’ve never gotten a fair rematch. Gargano says that all the other teams need to know that the line starts behind DIY! This brings out Riddick Moss and Tino Sabbattelli, who make their way to the ring with microphones of their own. Moss says it’s not about them, or about big giants. Tina says now that they’re here, the line begins behind THEM. Ciampa says if there was a line, they just crossed it! DIY attack Moss and Sabbatelli, taking them out of the ring!
