NXT Champion Joe Hendry and North American Champion Myles Borne join forces to battle Ricky Saints and Ethan Page
NXT Champion Joe Hendry and North American Champion Myles Borne will team up against their respective rivals, Ricky Saints and Ethan Page. Hendry is coming off a successful NXT Title retention against Saints at NXT Vengeance Day, and Borne is on a hot streak after dethroning Page and following that up with an impromptu win over Page a week later.
:nxt5:
— The show kicks off with a video recapping the events of Vengeance Day on Saturday.
— Vic Joseph and Booker T then greet audiences at home as Tatum Paxley makes her way to the ring.
Paxley says she's the new Women's North American Champion, then says for the longest time, she felt like she was doing everything wrong. She said that she begged for acceptance and says she wondered if she would be a little less Tatum, then says she now holds the Women's North American Championship because of the fans rather than The Culling. She says she finally has confidence that she belongs, then says while she won the NXT Women's Championship for The Culling, she won the Women's North American Championship for herself.
Izzi Dame makes her way out and says it must've been the best day of Paxley's life when she dethroned her as Women's North American Champion. She throws it to a video of Paxley's early days in NXT before she found herself, then says she would find it inspiring how Paxley has changed if she had actually changed. She says Paxley is still the same outcast as she was walking into NXT, then says everyone will see what she does: Paxley forever being desperate to fit in. She says she wants her Women's North American Championship back now.
Shawn Spears and Niko Vance sneak up behind Paxley, opening the door for Dame to land a big boot and a powerbomb on Paxley. She holds up the Women's North American Championship belt and stands tall over Paxley.
— Ethan Page is backstage and Ricky Saints asks him what happened on Saturday and how Page screwed up his title match. Saints says this sucks and Page says the last few weeks for him has sucked. Saints says if Page pins Myles Borne he's next in line for Borne's title and if Saints pins Joe Hendry he'll be back in title contention.
— Jasper Troy makes his way to the ring. Sean Legacy and Eli Knight both follow.

Legacy and Knight then send Troy crashing out of the ring with a double superkick to him before Knight fires off right hands on Legacy in the corner.

Carver gets in Booker T's face and stares him down as Knight fires off a pair of chops on Legacy's chest during the commercial break. He delivers a bodyslam to Legacy as Troy is being checked on by several referees.
Legacy trips Knight in the ring and lands an overhand chop on Knight, but Knight sends Legacy crashing into the top turnbuckle face first and lands a shotgun dropkick on him.
