Two of NXT’s best collide as NXT Champion Oba Femi and TNA World Champion Trick Williams battle in a Winner Take All Match. Femi and Williams each believe themselves to be the alpha of NXT, and after meeting last week on "The Grayson Waller Effect," the two agreed for a titanic clash with the winner holding both titles. Who will become a double champion, and who will go on to face Ricky Saints at No Mercy?

– NXT kicks off with a recap of NXT Homecoming.

Lights Out Match: Lexis King vs. Myles Borne

Borne attacks King on the entrance ramp and dumps a garbage can and a chair into the ring. He hits him with the chair face first and connects with a dropkick on him, then fires off stomps on him in the corner. King clocks Borne from behind, then hits him across the spine with a chair and jams it into his midsection.

King sends Borne crashing on top of a chair, then hits him with a garbage can and sends him crashing into the garbage can spine first. He lands a dropkick through the middle rope, then delivers a Coronation to Borne on top of the announce desk on the outside during the commercial break. He dumps Borne back in the ring and goes for a pin, but King kicks out.

King whips Borne with his belt and sends him crashing into the ring, then slides a table in the ring back from the break. Borne hits King with King's belt, then dumps him out of the ring and looks to fly through the muddle rope. King hits Borne with his belt, but Borne catapults King into a chair in the corner and the ring steps. King responds by hitting Borne with the chair across his spine, then places his head through a chair on top of the ring steps. He looks to land a stomp on him, but Borne escapes at the last second and sends King crashing through the barricade with a spear.

Borne dumps King back in the ring and King drags the ring steps inside, but Borne hits King with King's belt on the outside and inside of the ring. King drags Borne up the ring steps next to the table, but Borne responds with a DDT to King and sends him crashing through a table on the ring steps with a jumping reverse Bulldog. He pins him for the win.

Winner: Myles Borne

– We then head backstage and see Stevie Turner and Mr. Stone talking to Ava on the phone. Turner and Stone tell Ava they've seen TNA Wrestling stars walking around backstage and asks if she invited them, but unable to hear them due to a bad connection, Ava simply tells them that she trusts them to run the show.

– Ethan Page comes out to the ring when NXT comes back from a commercial break. Page says he should be in the ring to celebrate his victory over Tyler Breeze last week. Instead, we have a special guest from AAA in the crowd, Dr. Wagner Jr and he welcomes Wagner to NXT. Page says Wagner screwed him from winning at World's Collide and then invites Wagner to No Mercy. Page then invites Wagner to the ring for a match right now.
