The show kicks off with a video recapping the events of Stand & Deliver.
Vic Joseph and Booker T then greet audiences at home as Tony D'Angelo makes his way to the ring.
The live crowd tells D'Angelo that he deserves it as D'Angelo says a lot of the fans have been with him since the beginning. He says he was just a kid when he got to NXT, then says he's the first ever NXT Grand Slam Champion in history and says this is something he's always wanted since he got to WWE. He says no one including Ricky Saints, Ethan Page, or Joe Hendry can take the NXT Championship from him.
Hendry's music hits and he makes his way out. He says D'Angelo is the man, then congratulates D'Angelo on executing his plan and admits D'Angelo was the better man but for just one night.
Page's music hits and he makes his way out, with Ricky Saints right behind Page. Saints says if Page put his ego aside, he would be a two time NXT Champion. D'Angelo cuts him off and says no matter who challenges him next, he will come out on top as NXT Champion.
DarkState surrounds the ring, and Saquon Shugars, Cutler James, Osiris Griffin, and Dion Lennox surround the ring. They begin brawling with D'Angelo, Saints, Page, and Hendry as security tries to get things broken up. Robert Stone and the locker room clear out to break all eight men apart during the commercial break, but D'Angelo lands a crossbody to take out several of the talent as all eight men continue brawling. Security and the locker room eventually manage to get all eight men broken apart, with Robert Stone informing D'Angelo, Saints, Page, and Hendry that they'll be facing DarkState at the top of the hour.
During the break, Robert Stone calls the NXT roster out to help break up the fight. Once the fight is stopped, Stone issues an eight man tag match pitting DarkState against Hendry, Saints, Page and D'Angelo.
