Kushida vs. Tony Nese
Kushida is all over Nese. Kushida focuses his attack on Nese’s arm. Nese almost manages to slam Kushida but Kushida turns it into an armbar. Kushida slams his body weight on Nese’s arm over and over again. Kushida slaps on the Hoverboard Lock. Nese taps out immediately.
Winner- Kushida
The Velveteen Dream appears on the ‘Tron. The Dream says the spotlight will be too bright for Kushida this Sunday. The Dream always does his best work under the brightest spotlights.
Backstage, Grimes says he doesn’t want to talk to anyone except Mr. Regal. Grimes runs into Dexter Lumis. Lumis just stares at him. Grimes asks Lumis if he has seen Mr. Regal. Shockingly, Lumis doesn’t speak. Grimes calls Lumis a freak and storms off.
In-Ring Segment: Adam Cole
Cole says The UE has run NXT for Three years. The prophecy came true. Regardless of how much time has passed nothing has changed. Some think they can say whatever they want not but that’s not the case. Cole demands Austin Theory come to the ring and say what he said about Kyle O’Reilly to Cole’s face. Theory walks out on the stage. Cole tells him to get in the ring or the UE will beat him where he stands.
Vicious enough for you?
