This episode is the first following the NXT Heatwave event, which saw major title matches and the emergence of new No. 1 contenders, setting the stage for ongoing rivalries and new storylines throughout the women’s division and tag team ranks.

  • Blindfold Match: Lexis King vs. Myles Borne
  • Tag Team Match: The Culling (Izzi Dame & Tatum Paxley) vs. Wren Sinclair & a mystery partner
