- NXT General Manager William Regal heads out to the ring to talk about the attack on Aleister Black. Before he can say much out comes the Undisputed Era. Cole on the mic and says week after week it's the same old thing, Regal continues to play Sherlock Holmes rather than doing his job. Cole says Black attack is on Regal and these unprovoked attacks shouldn't happen anymore. Roderick Strong asks about him doing something about the War Raiders coming after them. Regal says it's pretty interesting that the moment he mentions the attack they show up.
Oh yeah, looks like it's nothing but soda and pizza rolls for Kool Kyle and the Rod-man. EASY STREET.

The three get in the ring and Cole isn't pleased with Regal trying to pin it on them and also trying to change the subject away from the War Raiders and NXT North American Champion Ricochet (who Cole says has been ducking him). Cole wants his title rematch right now, he's very bothered Pete Dunne got one before him. Regal says Cole is only now asking about a title match after Dunne soften up Ricochet. Regal says Cole isn't getting his rematch right now because he robbed Dunne of his title opportunity last week. Regal says Cole will get his shot in two weeks against Ricochet and Dunne. Regal then says O'Reilly and Strong will defend their tag titles against the War Raiders in three weeks. Undisputed Era isn't happy about any of this. Regal heads to the back.
- Earlier today, Johnny Gargano is asked about his upcoming match, says he's feeling good about it. He's then asked about his loss to Velveteen Dream and why he apologized. Gargano said he didn't like where he was going, so he went home to get his head right. Gargano says whining and complaining isn't who he is. Gargano heads off with Candice LeRae, but Lacey Evans walks up on them to talk some trash about LeRae not standing by her man when he needed her. Evans put her hand on Gargano and LeRae smacks it away, Evans heads off, LeRae isn't happy.
- Photo shoot, Velveteen Dream ends the session, Cathy Kelley tries to get a word from him, but he initially walks away. He finally stops and asks her want she wants to talk about. Dream says he's not going to talk about Johnny "Failure," Tommaso Ciampa, or Aleister Black. Kelley thinks Dream is implying that Ciampa is the one who attacked Black. He comes back and says he's not a snitch, the writing is on the wall though, and she should go do her job to find out.

- Backstage Regal is asked about the Aleister Black investigation. He says he's narrowed things down, but needs some answers. Nikki Cross suddenly comes out of Regal's office and says she needs to play with Bianca Belair again. She then tells Regal "I know!" over and over, then walks off.
