Parker kicks Lorcan in the gut...Lorcan shakes it off and smashes Parker's head off the turnbuckle. Big chop by Lorcan. Another.
Martel distracts Lorcan giving Parker the opportunity to gain control with a strike. Parker hits a single-leg dropkick, then grinds his elbow across Lorcan's neck while applying a hammerlock. Lorcan manages to break the hold. He nails an atomic drop, then follows up with a reverse atomic drop. Lorcan goes for a corner uppercut but Parker gets his boot up. Parker can't capitalize and runs into an uppercut. Running blockbuster from Lorcan...and that'll do it.

As soon as the match ends manager Malcolm Bivens comes out and congratulates Oney Lorcan. This gives Ever-Rise an opening to assault Lorcan and Burch from behind. Bivens sends the huge tag team of Rinku and Gurjar in the ring to inflict more pain on Lorcan and Burch. Graves asks who on NXT can stop this team?
