- Welcome to this evening's NXT. We kick off the show looking back at last week's promo with Samoa Joe and the ensuing beat down and stretcher job of NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura.

- Joe heads to the ring with some papers in his hand to a chorus of boos. Joe breaks out the papers which is Nakamura's medical report and says Nakamura will be out 6-12 weeks, which is quite the range. Joe demands of William Regal that Nakamura be stripped of the title and given back to the rightful champ. Regal comes out and confirms Nakamura's condition. Regal says he will take care of the problems that Joe has caused. Joe heads down the ramp and gives Regal an opportunity to fix the situation, or the entire NXT roster will be in the same shape as Nakamura.

Oney Lorcan vs. Austin Aries

Nice reception for the Bostonian Lorcan who has gotten over quite well in the Florida live event circuit.
