— The show kicks off with a video paying tribute to veterans on Veterans Day.
— Vic Joseph and Booker T greet audiences at home as The Culling make their way to the ring.
Tatum Paxley says the fans have no idea how much she loves hearing them cheer and says she gets goosebumps hearing her name as NXT Women's Champion. She says if she wants to keep hearing that, then she has to listen to her friends after last week during her and Izzi Dame's Six Woman Tag Team Match didn't go the way that she wanted to.
Dame tells Paxley that herself and The Culling want what's best for her because she worked for it super long, then asks Paxley to promise that she won't do things like that if she wants to be NXT Women's Champion. While Paxley hesitates to listen to Dame, Dame asks Paxley if she wants to listen to the fans more than being a champion. Paxley says she wants to be a champion who can give everyone an opportunity and says she doesn't want anyone in the back feeling like she did. Dame reminds Paxley that the more she defends the NXT Women's Championship, the more she risks losing it.
Fatal Influence's music hits, and Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid make their way out. Jayne says no one understands how Paxley feels more than she does, then says Paxley has to decide what champion she wants to be. She says Paxley worked so hard for so long, then says the best way to prove to everyone that becoming NXT Women's Champion wasn't a fluke is to be a fighting champion.
Jayne admits Dame is right about Paxley not giving out random opportunities, then days she should give an opportunity to someone who's carried the "NXT" women's division on her back. Dame tells Jayne that Paxley won't be falling for what she's saying, but when she sees the conflicted look on Paxley's face, she tries to reiterate her point. Jayne then continues trying to talk Paxley into giving her another match for the NXT Women's Championship, but Paxley says she has to be smart about who she gives opportunities to. She says she'll do that, but after "NXT" Gold Rush when she defends the NXT Women's Championship against Jayne.
