Final Showdown

Ziggler said that this isn’t just NXT 2.0, but rather DZ 2.0. He said that he’s doing all the media because everyone wants to talk with him and not Bron. For Breakker, WWE just aired a video package of his path to destruction. They did acknowledge Rick Steiner being Bron’s father.
One More Chance
Roderick Strong vs. Cameron Grimes vs. A-Kid in a Last chance qualifying match for Stand & Deliver was booked. Strong, Grimes, and A-Kid all lost their original qualifying bouts.
The match was saved for the main event and could’ve gone a little bit longer as it was that good. These guys worked hard and had elements of the old NXT in terms of work rate. Grimes went over when he hit a double stomp to Strong.
North American Champion Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller, Solo Sikoa, and Santos Escobar have already qualified for the ladder match. A brawl with everyone in the match broke out to close the show.
LA Knight & MSK vs. Imperium
LA Knight and MSK vs. Imperium took place in a tag team match.
The bout was set up on last week’s NXT episode where LA Knight confronted and attacked Gunther while challenging him to a Stand & Deliver match. Barthel and Aichner made the save for Gunther, while MSK ran in to save Knight.
Barthel and Aichner will defend the NXT Tag Team titles against MSK and The Creed Brothers in a three-way at Stand & Deliver.
The match opened the show. Aichner levels Carter with a stiff clothesline for the pin to win.
Bodhi Hayward vs. Von Wagner
