Dunne recaptures momentum and wrenches on the hands once again. Dunne sent outside and Andrews hits a moonsault from the apron, gets caught, but turns it into a head scissors sending Dunne to the stairs.

Andrews goes to the well one too many times as he tries the moonsault, lands on his feet, but gets sent into the apron by Dunne. Dunne traps Andrews' hand in the stairs and stomps on it. He tosses the smaller Andrews into the corner of the apron/LED board and boasts as we go to break.

No Way Jose vs. Bobby Roode

Two of the most over entrances in NXT don't disappoint as conga lines and choruses break out at Full Sail. Roode takes his time with his prep. Roode seems to take Jose a bit lightly and wins the initial standoff. Jose refocuses and they lock up again. Roode wrenches the arm, but Jose dances the pressure away. Jose with a couple chops, gets sent to the corner, and hits a drop toe hold to return the favor. Jose blocks a kick and lands a couple left jabs.

- After the match, Roode makes it halfway down the ramp and has an idea. He heads back to the ring and takes out Jose's knee. He locks in the half crab on Jose and out comes Kassius Ohno. Roode heads for the hills as Ohno gets a hero's welcome. Roode's reaction is priceless. Roode asks who the heck does Kassius Ohno thinks he is. Ohno says the crowd knows who he is and Bobby knows. Ohno says he's been in NXT before, and says he's always taken what he's wanted throughout his travels around the world. He says Roode has what he needs. Roode fake cries and takes a shot at Ohno's name. Roode says he's a fighting champion and we don't have to wait and teases an impromptu championship match and even calls out a ref. As Ohno takes his jacket off, Roode takes out his knee as well. He works it over but Ohno fights back and cleans house. He leaves the champ laying as we head off the air.
