Trick says Oba Femi wishes he was Trick. He said Oba wishes he had the TNA Title. The High Ryze come out. Wes says not to let him get under your skin like that. Wes says Evans should be calling out Oba and says Trick is on a different level than Evans. 

Wes says Evans doesn't understand what it's like to be a champ. Wes says Evans will have a great journey to the title but it's a long way away. Wes says Evans won't get close to Trick as The High Ryze will stop him dead in his tracks. Evans says if he starts tonight, he'll start with Wes. He punches Wes then is group stomped on. Evans is held for Wes' cardiac kick. Wes says he will talk to Ava and get this thing set for tonight.

Connors and Dixon say they will hit them with chairs to get a match. Hank says they just gotta ask. Tank says they love Mr. Chase. 

Chase comes in. Kale says they were gonna beat them with chairs to get a shot. Chase says he didn't say to beat them with chairs. hank says they will set the match up for next week. Uriah and Kale are happy and they say if you just ask, the title match happens.

Thoughts: I liked it. It was a decent match here with Tav being a fun face and CD losing. I'm not sure where this leaves either guy right now but NQCC was not doing much for either of these guys.

They shake hands after.

Trick Williams and High Ryze talk in the back. Trick tells them to finish Evans off so he can go for both titles. Wes says if he does this, he wants a shot for his boys for the TNA Tag Titles. Trick says it's Trick-N-A. Santino Marella comes in and says Trick doesn't have stroke in TNA, he does. Santino says he's just a WWE superstar tonight and says Trick's TNA Title is coming home soon.

Thoughts: Nia getting involved was a surprise. This was a decent match from these two which is not something you would have expected at one point in time. Lash looked big and strong here and felt like she was upping her game.

Thoughts: It was a flippy style match here with not a lot of selling and some cool spots. Evans' flying was impressive as usual and there was a ton of action here. They didn't overdo it too much at least. It got a large amount of time and I liked it.

Oba Femi gets on the riser and holds his title up while Trick does the same at commentary with Evans watching on.

Myles Borne talks to Vic Joseph in a taped video. He says Lexis King is just stirring the pot. He says he's mostly deaf and he only had a 50% chance to live. He said he was put on a ventilator that kept him alive. He said it kept him alive but took 90% of his hearing. He says communication has never been his thing. He said he didn't start speaking until he was 4. He says he had to read lips and said that and hand movements helps.

He says you can't let people like Lexis King win. He says you gotta block people like that out.

Thoughts: It was alright but Santino got most of the offense in here. SM lost as expected as Page just changed up his belt and wasn't going to lose. Santino didn't really lose a step since we last saw him. 

Tony D'Angelo is in a restaurant. He says things are changing and don't call him Don anymore, call him Tony D. The drape is then closed on Tony and we cut away in a Sopranos style ending.

Overall thoughts: It was a good NXT. Tons of stuff happened as usual and they had a good night in the ring with nothing being bad. Wes/Evans was probably the best match of the night here. I'd give this one a 7 out of 10 as the show was packed with various ongoings and there was no lack of action at any point in time.
