Mr. NXT and his pageant

Shiloh Hill took on Birthright’s Charlie Dempsey. Dempsey executed his stretching submission moves, but Hill was able to fight out of them. In the end, Hill hit a unique suplex to get the big win. After the match, Tristan Angels challenged Hill to a Mr. NXT pageant contest.

Vice retains, and the Culling is no more

NXT Women’s Champion Lola Vice battled Izzi Dame with the title on the line. Chaos soon ensued as OTM attacked Niko Vance and Shawn Spears, running them off and leaving Dame to fight it out on her own. Dame attempted to hit a knee strike on Vice, but the champ moved out of the way, as Dame leveled the official with her knee. 

Vice nailed the backfist on Dame, but the referee was slow to get to the count, allowing Dame enough time to kick out.  Despite Dame’s valiant effort, Vice eventually connected with the Backfist to win the match and retain her title.
