June 28 Episode

Oney Lorcan vs. Hideo Itami was stopped. At the start of the match, Lorcan busted open Itami hardway with an uppercut. Trainers worked on him and there was a lot of blood on the mat. Possible broken nose. They stopped the match and had to change the ring apron. Itami did not look happy.
Mae Young Classic Qualifier: Vanessa Borne (Daniele Kamela) defeated Jayme Hachey (former SHINE Tag Champion Jayme Jameson). Borne won a very quick match with a tilt-o-whirl slam.
Johnny Gargano came back and cut a promo. We covered this return last night on the site. Gargano basically said that he never saw it coming from a guy (Ciampa) that he would take a bullet for. He talked about not dwelling in the past and wanting to be ready for NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III.
Hideo Itami defeated Oney Lorcan, looking to be a reset from their earlier bout. Itami won with the GTS. Itami calledout Kassius Ohno after the match. As they were face to face, Nikki Cross distracted them, allowing SAnitY to come out and lay both men out.
No Way Jose defeated Cezar Bozoni in a very quick match. Andrade Almas came out, at the direction of Thea Trinidad, and attacked Bozoni after the match. Jose ran back out to make the save.
This show will likely feature the Asuka/Cross match that was the final filmed match of the tapings (more on that later in the report).
July 5 Episode
Ember Moon defeated Ruby Riot. Said to be a very good match with lots of near falls. Ember won with the Eclipse. She said “I’m ready for Asuka” to the camera as she went up the ramp after the bout.
SAnitY defeated Hideo Itami and Kassius Ohno. Itami was hit with a running crossbody by Dain and took the pinfall after he and Ohno had problems getting along throughout the match. Afterwards, the two of them had words.
* Oney Lorcan def. Danny Burch. Burch was busted open from an uppercut. Lots of uppercuts back and forth in a hard hitting match. Lorcan won with a neckbreaker. Crowd was really into this one. They shook hands afterwards with Bruch asking for one more match and Lorcan accepting.
WWE NXT Champion Bobby Roode defeated Roderick Strong to retain the title. Originally, Strong had won the match but Roode’s foot was under the ropes. Strong had gone outside the ring and started celebrated with his wife, who was ringisde. The match was restarted and Roode went on to retain after the Glorious DDT. Sounds like it was an excellent match.
