The North American Championship remains in Cameron Grimes’ possession following his win over Solo Sikoa and Carmelo Hayes in a Triple-Threat to open the show.

Scheduled for next week’s NXT 2.0 is Alba Fyre (Kay Lee Ray’s) first in-ring appearance since undergoing her name change. In addition to that, NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne are taking on Wendy Choo and Roxanne Perez in a non-title bout.

MTV’s ‘The Challenge’ star Mark Long was in attendance to support Grayson Waller. Waller went one-on-one with NXT UK’s Nathan Frazer and fell in defeat to Frazer after a distraction from Andre Chase.
