Butch looked like his usual Brawling Brute self, mangling Axiom and attempting to ground the Spanish high-flier through joint manipulation.

Axiom, however, refused to stay down and nearly put the match away with a Golden Ratio, but Butch’s hand was under the bottom rope and it forced a breakup. 

Butch managed to hit a Bitter End, but Axiom kicked out just as the 12-minute timer hit 0:00.

Breakker became a man possessed as he locked in the Steiner Recliner, but Wagner’s unbelievable strength allowed him to overpower his opponent and lock him into a submission of his own.

Wagner managed to toss Breakker through a piece of the NXT ringside area and even put him through a table, but a low blow from the former NXT Champion set him up for a gut-busting spear that ended the match. . 

After the match, Breakker continued his assault on Wagner and brutalized him as the camera’s faded to black.
