- NXT Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly kicked off the show with a State of the Commonwealth address, dressed in some colorful outfits. They bragged about their success, noting that they have beaten everyone. The duo made fun of their competition. The Brawling Brutes (Ridge Holland and Butch) interrupted them and challenged them to a match. Pretty Deadly defended the gold against the duo, and the SmackDown stars nearly emerged victorious. But Imperium interfered and cost the challengers the match. After the bell, Imperium fought around ringside with the Brawling Brutes.

In the end, Wagner clinched the win by slamming Chase to the mat. Wes Lee blindsided Hayes after the match.

- Alba Fyre attacked Toxic Attraction and drove off in their car while Mandy Rose was still inside, seemingly abducting the NXT Women's Champion in the process. The scheduled six-woman tag team bout became a standard two-on-two contest.

At the end of a hard-fought match, Lyons scored the win for her team.

- Wendy Choo faced Lash Legend and picked up a decisive win over her rival.

- Grayson Waller hosted The Grayson Waller Effect and noted that he got extra security to make sure that Apollo Crews wouldn't be able to interfere. He revealed that Jade and Perez will face each other in a Spin the Wheel, Make a Deal match at NXT Halloween Havoc. After the two women traded verbal barbs, he spun the wheel, and it landed on a Weapons Wild Match. Perez and Jade brawled as Apollo Crews attacked Waller.

- Crews dragged Waller under the ring, and when the later emerged, his eyes had seemingly been gouged out.

- Ilja Dragunov discussed his road to recovery from his injury and noted that while he can't change the past, he can change the future.

Dragunov emphasized how he always gives every match his all, and he'll do what it takes to win the gold.

- Javier Bernal confronted Bron Breakker and insulted his intelligence, prompting the NXT Champion to challenge him to a match next week.

- JD McDonagh previewed the NXT Championship match at NXT Halloween Havoc and noted that the smartest man will win.

- Gallus commented on their suspension and vowed to win gold once they return to NXT.

- Duke Hudson confronted the Creed Brothers backstage when Brutus Creed was in the trainer's room. Julius challenged him to a match and went on to score a dominant win over him.

- Axiom shared his thoughts on his upcoming match with Nathan Frazer next week. He noted that he expects it to be a close match, and he looks forward to writing the final chapter.
