Sean Maluta vs. Patrick Clark
NXT advertised “the Patrick Clark Experience” for tonight’s show, and I guess this was it. Clark appears to be doing a new take on an old gimmick. He wears a sparkly headband and occasionally stops wrestling to spread his arms wide in a way not unlike when Bobby Roode says that he’s glorious.
Clark wins clean with a fame-asser on Maluta (who is a member of the Anoa’i family)
Winner: Clark

NXT Women’s Championship
Asuka (c) vs. Peyton Royce
Royce won the right to challenge for the belt last week when she won a 3-way match with Ember Moon and Liv Morgan. Asuka picked up her 5th televised title defence in her 11 months as champion. Royce tapped out to the Asuka lock. After the match Royce and Billie Kay tried to double team Asuka but Ember Moon came out for the save. Asuka and Moon then stared each other down, making it clear that Moon will be the next to challenge for the title.
Winner: Asuka via submission

NXT Tag Team Championship Match
the Authors of Pain (c) vs. DIY (Gargano and Ciampa)
It looked as though DIY were going to win back the titles, as they had both members of the Authors of Pain in double crossfades, but the Revival hit the ring causing the disqualification. Wilder and Dawson didn’t just take out DIY however, but also the Authors of Pain. Crowd cheered the Revival. This should be setting up a 3-way tag team match down the line.
Winners: DIY via DQ
