Jade says the attack has Toxic Attraction written all over it because they’re pissed off over last week’s title loss and scared of their reign over NXT coming to an end. Jade says more importantly, NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose is scared because she knows Perez can take the title from her. Jade says it all makes sense now, that’s why Toxic Attraction took Perez out.

We see a replay of Wendy Choo’s powder attack last week, and their match. Stratton calls Choo “some crazy girl” and says she had to crawl all over that dirty warehouse floor, and still hasn’t been able to even look at her nails but she knows there’s dirty under them. She complains about how her hair and everything else was, but says as always, she prevailed and overcame the odds. She says Choo is so obsessed with her it’s not even funny, it’s more like borderline creepy. Stratton says she needs to leave Choo along because she’s interested in the winner of the NXT Women’s Title match. She thanks the nail tech and gets up, then walks away.

– We go back to the ring and out comes a somber Cameron Grimes.

Grimes enters the ring as a “through the roof!” chant starts up. Grimes wishes he could come out here and give everyone an excuse on why he didn’t defeat NXT Champion Bron Breakker last week, but he can’t. A small “you got robbed!” chant starts up but Grimes disagrees. He says he came with his best last week, even gave the Cave-In to Breakker, but the 3 count never came. Grimes knows Bron is at home with his arm in a sling, but he’s got the NXT Title with him. Grimes mentioned the NXT North American Title and said it’s still on his mind also. Grimes says he learned last week that you can do everything the right way and still not be good enough, but that’s life, right? He says last month he lost the NXT North American Title, and that’s just life, then he goes all in on Breakker, and lost again. That’s just life and he’s destined to be a loser. He thought he’d go to the moon but he crashed into the sun.

The music interrupts and out comes JD McDonagh to mostly boos. JD says he hates to come kick a guy when he’s down, but let him come out and kick a guy while he’s down real quick. JD saw last week’s match and Grimes showed a ton of heart, which no one can take from him, but JD thinks Grimes should wrap up this pity party and do his crying in the back. JD hates to be the one to break the news to Grimes, but he became old news around here about 60 seconds after Breakker pinned him last week. JD says this whole game changed when The Irish Ace walked in.

JD goes on about how he fooled everyone here, who thought he’d debut this week instead, even that meathead Breakker thought that. JD is in the ring now. Grimes tells him to look at him if he’s going to talk. Grimes knows who JD is and saw what he did… Grimes challenges JD to attack from behind and says the fans can agree, we just see an Irish asshole. Fans chant “asshole!” now. JD headbutts Grimes out of nowhere, sending him against the ropes. JD whips Grimes to the ropes but Grimes counters. Grimes goes to jump over JD but JD puts on the brakes and escapes to the floor.

Roderick Strong walks in and turns the film off. Strong asks if he really heard Kemp say he’d love to run it back after that performance. Strong goes on and says after all this time, what he learned is Kemp just isn’t as good as he thinks he is. Strong tells Kemp to ask Ivy Nile and The Creeds, he’s not big on excuses. He says Kemp was more than happy when Strong challenged The Creeds, so Strong wants to see how Kemp feels when Strong embarrasses him one-on-one next week.
