*Commercial Break*

Duke Hudson is interviewed backstage about what’s next for him. He says he doesn’t care what anyone thinks or wants from him. He had to take a few weeks off to clear his head. He did that and he remembered hat nobody can measure up to him. Bron Breakker storms through Duke’s interview and yells “hit my music”.

The NXT Champion, Bron Breakker, comes to the ring. Breakker says the last time we saw him Joe Gacy dumped him in a field somewhere like a piece of trash. And now he’s asking him to join his group. Now Gacy is a persuasive guy but after everything they’ve done to each other, he’s not about to join him. He’s going to beat his ass and this time he’s going to leave him unconscious. Joe Gacy appears with his red-hooded druids on the platform above the crowd.

Bron tells him to shut up and come down to the ring. Gacy says that’s very predictable. When men become consumed by rage, they become predictable. And Gacy is very short-tempered. He can see the fire in Bron’s eyes but their journey isn’t over yet. He rejected a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join him but now he’s going to give Bron what he wants, the two of them one-on-one at In Your House. But they need to up the ante because he’s done everything he could to ruin Bron’s life. Breakker should want to destroy him… but if he gets disqualified he loses his title. Breakker says “you’re on.”

Indi Hartwell cuts a promo in which she says her life changed very quickly but she’s tired of feeling down. For the first time in her career she’s flying solo. No partners. So she’s calling her shot: Mandy Rose. If she’s he measuring stick of the division, let’s see what happens when she takes the stick and shoves it up her a$$.

*Commercial Break*

Wes Lee is interviewed backstage and he says Xyon Quinn keeps ducking him. When he’s medically cleared, whether that’s next wee, next month, or in 2030, he knows where to find him. Nathan Frazer runs up and says he knows Wes Lee wants to go tonight, so how about it? Lee says tonight’s not a good night because he’s got a lot of pent-up aggression. Frazer says if that’s the case, he looks forward to the challenge.

The match begins with Julius and Ivar, and the Creed literally box jumped over Ivar as he was running at him. Julius and Brutus makes tags and beat the life out of Ivar, forcing him to bail from the ring. Ivar gets back inside and makes the tag to Erik, who drops Julius with a forearm. The Vikings keep Julius isolated and make lots of tags to hit double team moves and earn two-counts.
