Match 6) Drew Gulak (with Charlie Dempsey) defeated Hank Walker.

Hank at one point dropped Drew into an armbar out of a wheelbarrow position but Drew made the ropes. Drew backed Hank up into the ropes and the referee had to separate him. Dempsey forearmed Hank in the back of the head while the referee wasn’t looking and Drew rolled up Hank for the pinfall win.

Match 7) Tony D’Angelo and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo defeated Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen.

If Briggs and Jensen had won, they would have been added to the NXT Tag Team Title Match at Stand & Deliver. During the match, NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Kiana James and Fallon Henley came to ringside to support. Tony and Stacks hit a double team move on Brooks for the win.

After the match, Briggs, Jensen, Fallon, and Kiana were in the ring. Kiana said there’s something she needs to tell Brooks but rather than tell she will show and she walks up and kisses Brooks. Brooks is happy about it as Kiana also smiles. Fallon and Briggs were not pleased with the outcome.

Grayson Waller comes to the ring to sign the contract for the match with Johnny Gargano. He signed the contract on the announce table in front of Vic Joseph as he was making his entrance. The ring is surrounded by security. Grayson talks about his history in NXT over the near almost two years he has been there. He brings up the Black & Gold vs. 2.0 War Games match and how all everyone could talk about was Johnny Gargano and how he took Gargano out of the company. He mentions how Johnny Gargano is Mr. NXT from the moments to the matches to the accomplishments and now Gargano is the one that is seeking a match with Grayson. He mentions how Gargano claims he bleeds black and gold but Grayson bleeds green. Johnny Gargano’s music plays and Grayson looks toward the stage. A masked man comes in and does a switch with one of the cameramen. He unmasks and it is Johnny Gargano. A brawl happens between the two in the ring and around the ringside area. During the brawl, Johnny appeared to get cut on his nose.

Afterwards in what may have been a dark segment for the crowd, Johnny takes a microphone and mentions his history in Unsanctioned Matches and how he will take Grayson out.
