Karrion Kross' highly anticipated NXT in-ring debut was as destructive as promised. With the sinister Scarlett at his side, Kross made a striking entrance that was eclipsed only by his sheer malice.

Io Shirai def. NXT Women's Champion Charlotte Flair by disqualification

The Queen puts her title on the line against The Evil Genius of the Sky. Catch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

Did The Evil Genius of the Sky have Charlotte Flair on the ropes? The Queen resorted to a disqualification, apparently growing frustrated enough to blast Io Shirai with a Kendo stick. Charlotte continued to inflict damage — that was, until Rhea Ripley showed up. The woman whom Charlotte dethroned to once again become NXT Women's Champion appeared for the first time since her WrestleMania defeat, landing a few blows and sending Flair scurrying from the ring. But The Nightmare also may have made an enemy of Shirai in the process, as the two exchanged heated words and later got into a shoving match in the parking lot area.

Denzel Dejournette was more than ready for Cameron Grimes, starting off the bout with a furious pace, but The Technical Savage quickly turned the tide with the Cave-In. Grimes wasn't done picking fights. Almost as soon as he mentioned Finn Bálor during a post-match tirade, he was confronted by The Prince, and fisticuffs quickly ensued, with Bálor getting the better of the exchange and sending a message to his mystery assailant. 

NXT Champion Adam Cole def. The Velveteen Dream

Adam Cole looks to extend the longest NXT Title reign in history against Velveteen Dream. Catch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

Adam Cole and The Velveteen Dream's long-awaited duel for the top prize in NXT lived up to the billing in a highly-thrilling, seesaw affair, but the difference-maker may have been Dexter Lumis' inadvertent interference. Emerging from underneath the ring to stop Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong from getting involved, Lumis sent Strong flying into the referee, leaving him unable to count Dream's pin after he hit the Purple Rainmaker. Cole recovered to deliver a superkick and the Last Shot to escape with his gold. ​​​​​​
