Escobar landed a strike before the bell ran and ran at Tony right off the bell, unloading on the Don. Escobar sent him face-first into a steel chair before getting a near fall in the ring.

Stacks attacked Legado outside the ring and a brawl broke out, causing a distraction before Tony smacked Santos in the face with a trashcan lid. Back from the break, we saw Tony stack chairs at ringside before hitting a vertical suplex on top of them.

Stacks tried to interfere but the Legado stopped him and ran their own distraction before Elektra Lopez was tackled down by Tony for trying to hand Santos a crowbar. Tony beat Santos down and stole the crowbar before they headed back to the ring. They both ran into either corner of the ring to get their weapons but Tony was way too fast as he smacked Santos in the head with the crowbar and picked up the win. Santos Escobar is officially done with NXT. Will he show up on RAW or SmackDown next? Let us know in the comments. Result: Tony D'Angelo def.

Back to the match, Mandy was in control in the ring while Nikkita Lyons got into a brawl with Toxic Attraction at ringside.

WWE NXT@WWENXT#NXTHeatwave #WWENXT @bronbreakkerwwe27275#NXTHeatwave #WWENXT @bronbreakkerwwe https://t.co/y9wEmgAcJk For a guy that talks a big game, JD was failing to live up to the expectations as he took a Frankensteiner from Breakker for a near fall. McDonagh got a Spanish Fly and a Brainbuster before Breakker caught him with another set of huge spears. Breakker came in with the Powerslam and picked up the rather easy win. Result: Bron Breakker def. JD McDonagh Grade: B NXT UK Champion Tyler Bate came out and stood in the ring posing with his belt while Bron did the same.
