Myles Borne, the DarkState dismantler
The North American Championship continues to elude DarkState as Saquon Shugars came up short in his effort to dethrone Myles Borne. The champion was shining early on as his X-Plex, Gutwrench Suplexes, and huge dive onto the members of DarkState at ringside brought the crowd to its feet.
Shugars caught a huge break as the top turnbuckle padding came undone, causing Borne to injure his throat when he got hung up on it. Unfortunately for Shugars, DarkState remains on different pages as Dion Lennox attempted to hit Borne with a steel chair, forcing Shugars to confront and stop him.
That distraction allowed Borne to regain momentum and hit Borne Again to retain his title. After the match, Evolve’s Tristan Angels and Kam Hendrix confronted the champion, with Hendrix even dropping him with a huge Uranage.
IN WITH THE NEW!

An Evil new challenger for Tony D’Angelo
NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo said that the more this place changes, the more it stays the same. The one constant thing in NXT is that people come and go, but now is the constant. There is no one tough enough to kick him off the mountain, including the guy who sent the package.
D’Angelo said that he wanted to know about the box and who sent it. The lights went out, and someone came to the ring. He handed something to D’Angelo. It was EVIL. After he left the ring, Tavion Heights attacked D’Angelo and hit a belly-to-belly suplex. A man from the crowd followed. Former PROGRESS and NOAH talent, UK’s Will Kroos, hit a moonsault on D’Angelo.
