- Next week, TakeOver: Prime Target will take an in-depth look at the rivalry between NXT Champion Adam Cole and Johnny Gargano.
- Earlier today, Matt Riddle is asked about Killian Dain. Riddle says to make an impact why not fight him face-to-face instead of attacking him from behind. We learn they’ll battle next Wednesday.
- NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler gets to the ring with a mic in hand. She cuts a promo confirming the match at TakeOver: Toronto between her and Mia Yim. She calls her a street rat who has already lost the fight even it begins. Mia Yim comes out for a counter promo and tells Baszler that the street rat is going to take her title.
- Outside, NXT General Manager William Regal tells LeRae that he’s already told Shirai she can’t be anywhere near the building at the moment. LeRae says she wants the match at TakeOver: Toronto. Regal agrees to it.
- Next week, a contract signing segment for NXT Tag Team Champions The Street Profits and Kyle O’Reilly/Bobby Fish before their match at Takeover: Toronto.
- Pete Dunne defeated Roderick Strong with a submission with a finger break.
- Post-match, Velveteen Dream sneaks into the ring and looks to clock Dunne with the title. Dunne turns around and Dream just smiles at him and does nothing. Strong yells at both of them and says the title is his at TakeOver. Dream does his pose, but Dunne snaps his fingers and gives Dream a bitter end.
