Here is your Fight Size update for the May 18 episode of NXT.

- Paul Heyman made a cameo during the Finn Balor vs. Karrion Kross Prime Target feature, saying Roman Reigns will have his eye on the match.
- Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell gossiped about Dexter Lumis during a spa day. Dexter Lumis did not have a happy ending. Have no fear, love is still alive as Indi Hartwell found out it was Candice that sent Ember & Shotzi flowers, not Dexter.
