He then went on to state that if anyone wants to challenge him, he’ll always be one step ahead because he is the NXT Champion.
Xyon Quinn vs Santos Escobar (with Legado Del Fantamas): Quinn took control early on, but Elektra Lopez arrived and kicked him between the legs, Escobar took advantage of it and hit a Phantom Driver for the win. The victory confirmed Lopez will remain in Legado del Fantasma.
Cameron Grimes vs Damon Kemp: In the second match of the show, Kemp was no match to Grimes’ speed and offense, which resulted in a quick Cave-in triumph.
Dusty Classic Qualifier – Edris Enofe and Malik Blade vs Joe Gacy and Harland: The duo of Enfoe and Blade earned a spot in the Dusty Tag Team Classic after Harland’s rage against them caused a disqualification.
Crowbar on a Pole – Tony D’Angelo vs Pete Dunne: The first ever Crowbar-On-A-Pole match was an entertaining but chaotic battle, however, it ended when D’Angelo defeated the Bruiserweight champion by leveling him with a crowbar shot for the win.
