Tensions were running high in NXT, with TakeOver: The End… just one week away. Everyone was on edge, including NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival. Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder declared that they were going to take back their titles from American Alpha. Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa disagreed, saying that not only can’t The Revival beat Jason Jordan & Chad Gable, Dash & Dawson couldn’t beat them. The trash-talking led to a scuffle between the two teams, with Gargano & Ciampa sending the No. 1 contenders scrambling up the ramp, setting the stage for a showdown between the duos later in the evening.

The huge challenge laid out to Finn Bálor by Shinsuke Nakamura was all the NXT Universe could talk about since last Wednesday. While Bálor seemingly accepted the challenge on the spot, nothing formal was set up for the showdown. NXT General Manager William Regal promised to change that tonight.

NXT Champion Samoa Joe was fuming that he was not consulted before NXT General Manager William Regal awarded Shinsuke Nakamura a title match at TakeOver: Brooklyn and refused to accept the match. How did he react when Regal gave him an ultimatum to either take the match or forfeit the title?

New NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura made his first appearance since winning the coveted title from Samoa Joe at TakeOver: Brooklyn II. The titleholder made it clear that Joe’s era is over. Welcome, NXT Universe, to “The Era of Strong Style.”

NXT Women's Champion turned back the challenge of Liv Morgan in seconds, leaving the entire NXT Universe wondering if there is anyone who can take down the undefeated Empress of Tomorrow.

NXT ventures to Melbourne, Australia, where Shinsuke Nakamura defends his title against Samoa Joe in a steel-cage match. Also: Aussies TM61 challenge DIY for the tag-team title; and Elias Samson and Bobby Roode vs. Tye Dillinger and Buddy Murphy.
