No Contest

General Manager William Regal bringing Ember Moon and Asuka out for their contract signing. Regal says let’s make this official, but before signing, Moon grabs the microphone. She says Asuka is one of the best to ever step foot in WWE, surpassing even Goldberg which gets an “ASUKA” chant from Full Sail. One thing sticks out to Ember, though. She’s only ever taken shortcuts with her. At Orlando, she grabbed the referee, and before Chicago, she injured her to keep her out of the title match. But the champ made a mistake because Moon is motivated and better than ever thanks to Asuka’s shortcuts. And to say thanks, she is going to end her title reign and her undefeated streak in Brooklyn! Both wrestlers sign, as does Regal. The champ grabs the mic and cuts a promo in Japanese as they get in each others’ faces. Asuka holds up the belt and a staredown ends the segment.
     Street Profits are next. Before that, we get a segment in the GM’s office. He’s telling a story about how someone married Robert Plant when Lars Sullivan comes in and asks for another tag match. Regal explains his partner could lose, and he can’t have Sullivan beating him senseless after the bout. Lars promises to be good and gives him one last shot.Street Profits def. Lars Sullivan and Chris Silvio via pinfall following the powerbomb/frog splash combo; Silvio charged in when Sullivan was set to start and got wiped out, causing Montez Ford to freak out, even running into the crowd. Lars never gets tagged in, but manages to keep it together and only carry his partner to the back somewhat aggressively, but still...not kill him.Not so fast... backstage, Sullivan carries Silvio outside and throws him into the barricade, then the trash. Ranallo explains Lars only promised to not destroy his partner “in the ring”, so this doesn’t technically count.
   The Iconic Duo “makeover” video from last week, where they run down Ruby Riot, is played to set-up.Ruby Riot def. Billie Kay via pinfall following Pele Kick variant; Riot also leveled Peyton Royce with a kick when she tried to grab her from the floor. Afterward, Royce grabs a mic and says all she’s done is prove lightning strikes once. She’s still a “gross, tattooed loser” who will never be iconic.The announce trio run down the card for Saturday, with the tag title match between Authors of Pain and SAnitY getting a video package with Paul Ellering narrating AOP's rise and showing highlights of their run-ins with Eric Young’s group
Drew McIntyre vs. Roderick Strong ends in a no contest when Bobby Roode shows up to boot Roddy to the floor from top turnbuckle and then pick apart McIntyre while he was hung up in the tree of woe. The champ throws Strong into the steel steps and then hits Drew with a Glorious DDT. Roode blows a kiss to Roddy and does the Glorious pose with the belt over McIntyre, screaming this is “MY NXT” as the show ends.

They welcome us to the Uso Penitentiary. They say you come out of the Cell as a changed man so they want The New Day to come out and hear what they have to say to their faces. The music hits and out comes Big E, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston. Kofi is dancing around while Big E and Xavier are moving slower than usual due to Sunday's brutal match.The Usos say both teams went to war last night and the other teams in the back suck.

Go Home

As with yesterday's Raw, the show opens with the roster on the stage for a moment of reflection in memory of the lives lost in Las Vegas, and from there we get a recap video covering last week's portion of the feud between Shinsuke Nakamura and Jinder Mahal. Live in the arena, Renee Young introduces Shinsuke for an interview. He thinks a moment before responding and says that sticks and stones may break his bones, but the words never hurt him. He says the greatest fear of all is the fear of the unknown, but Jinder will know when he beats him and becomes WWE Champion. Enter the Singh Brothers. They're sorry to interrupt this "thrilling" interview but they have to introduce their guy in their usual fashion. He blindsides Nakamura in the ring and starts beating him down Crossface blows into a stomp to the back, drawing him up but the King of Strong Style gets a rush off and lays him out with a roundhouse. The Singhs run interference but Shinsuke dumps them with ease...
