Oney Lorcan vs. Drew McIntyre

Huge pop for the returning McIntyre, who has a new theme. Big "welcome back" chant greets the Scottish star. Lorcan, who's not exactly small, is towered over by McIntyre. Drew with a huge throw and Lorcan gets sent outside. Lorcan goes outside to regroup, and comes back in with a fury of European uppercuts that send McIntyre to the outside. Lorcan heads to the top rope looking to fly, but gets caught in mid-air and sent to the floor. McIntyre in control as we head to break.

We're back just in time to hear thunderous chops from McIntyre and another belly-to-belly throw. Lorcan skips over a blockbuster and hits a running blockbuster instead. Lorcan stops a charging McIntyre with a headbutt and drapes him in the tree of woe. McIntyre lifts himself up to send Lorcan to the mat. We're now in a slugfest in the middle of the ring. McIntyre hits an extended Alabama Slam as he has hold of Lorcan's ankles. McIntyre with a running single leg drop kick that turns Lorcan inside out and busts him open. Cover and win in the re-debut.

Winner via Pinfall: Drew McIntyre

- After the match, Drew cuts a quick promo saying he has all the "RAW" talent, could put the "SmackDown" on anyone, but wants to be in NXT.

- Shinsuke Nakamura's farewell is coming up next. Nakamura's signature theme hits and makes his grand entrance donning a suit. Nakamura said he debuted a year ago in NXT. He had already been champion in Japan and came in with experience, but wanted to challenge himself. Nakamura says he's learned a lot from the NXT superstars, coaches, and fans. He says NXT is its own brand, energy, and life, and that it creates something different. He points out that he quickly found out that the NXT Universe is crazy. He puts them over for the chants, singing, and their passion. Nakamura says NXT is "their" style and that he will always be NXT because "We Are NXT." There are fans legitimately crying as the roster comes out to the ramp to send him off. The fans sing along with Nakamura's theme as he leads them one last time. A big "thank you Shinsuke" chant roars through the crowd as he greets fans heading up the ramp. Finn Balor makes a surprise appearance and they embrace as we head off the air.
