Backstage on NXT, Lexis King was told he had a Heritage Cup match tonight against a surprise opponent.

Ricky Saints was out next and said that he knew that Ethan Page would always be a thorn in his side. Lexis King showed up with the Heritage Cup and said he was there to defend it, telling Saints to get out of the ring.

The two argued about who was the bigger star and who deserved the spotlight more before King asked Saints for a North American Title match in exchange for a shot at the Heritage Cup.

Saints accepted the Cup vs. Title match before officials came in and separated the two.

Grade: C

Oba Femi was out next and gave a shout-out to Je'Von Evans, saying that his best days are ahead of him. He then said that Trick might be tough, but Oba was better. Trick Williams came out and still wanted a one-on-one match.

Joe Hendry showed back up on NXT before saying that Trick had turned into a "whiny b*tch" since the last time Hendry saw him.

Trick said Hendry didn't belong there and told him to leave before Joe reminded him that he was in a WrestleMania match with Randy Orton. Joe said he had some business with the NXT Champ, but Trick refused to let them talk business.

Both Hendry and Femi started attacking Trick and tossed him out of the ring before staring each other down in the ring as NXT moved on.

We saw footage of Stacks waiting somewhere in the desert when Luca showed up and yelled at him for betraying the Don. Stacks was very serious and said Luca knew what he was here for.

Luca went silent, and the footage cut out before we headed for a break. Did Stacks just get rid of Luca for good?

Trick Williams was causing chaos and destroying the set backstage when Ava came in and kicked him out of the arena.

WWE NXT Results: Je'Von Evans & Miles Borne vs. DarkState

Je'Von came in with some big dropkicks early on before Evans hit a dive to the outside, but was caught by one of the DarkState members. Miles followed up with a dive of his own, taking them out.

Corey Graves gave an update, saying that Osiris of DarkState nearly had his finger torn off in the brawl with the D'Angelo Family a few weeks ago. His fingers were taped up tonight as well.

After a break on NXT, Lennox took some big strikes from Borne before Je'Von came in and took a big lariat for a near fall. Miles returned with a dropkick and some big powerslams before getting the knee drop neckbreaker for a near fall.

Evans was neutralised after failing to hit a big dive and was driven into the apron before DarkState got the assisted powerbomb on Miles for the win.

Result: DarkState def. Je'Von Evans & Miles Borne

Grade: B

Backstage, Yoshiki Inamura and Briggs got a tag title match against Hank & Tank next week after talking to Ava.

Don D'Angelo showed up at their restaurant, and Rizzo carefully let him in, ensuring he wasn't being followed. The Don told Rizzo that she had to disappear since he didn't know how far Stacks would go to hurt them.

They also noted that Luca had left earlier in the day and didn't return.

Ricky Saints was backstage speaking to Ethan Page when Lexis King came in out of nowhere and wiped him out, blaming him for the title loss. Ethan smiled at the champ's misfortune and taunted him before NXT moved on.

We saw footage of Andre Chase taking his Chase U sweater out of a briefcase and saying, "We're f****ing back," before we headed for the main event.

WWE NXT Results: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Roxanne Perez - NXT Women's Championship match

The champ was in control early on and got a takedown before trying for an early submission. Perez scratched her in the eyes before getting a big top rope move and taking over the match.

Perez was sent into the corner and took the running knees before Vaquer repeatedly smashed her head into the mat. Roxanne countered the finisher but took a backbreaker before dropping the champ off the ropes and locking in the crossface.

Vaquer rolled through and the two traded pin attempts before getting a nasty double leg Dragonscrew off the ropes. The champ came back with the SVB and won.
