[Q1] Pre-credits advertised that tonight is "Championship Week" on NXT. Charlotte vs. Bayley and Adrian Neville vs. Tyson Kidd are emphasized.

The booth is Alex Riley, Jason Albert, and Rich Brennan.

Bayley is out immediately for her match with Charlotte. Charlotte with smiles and a handslap for a kid on her way to the ring. NXT has been playing "Who's the heel?" lately. If Charlotte loses tonight, I suspect we will be seeing her on the main roster soon.

Post-match, Charlotte shows respect to Bayley, helps her up, and gives her a hug, then a handshake. Charlotte is occupying a strange tweener champion role with no strong contenders for her title left.

"Rick Viktor" is now just "Viktor" and he "Konnor O'Brian" is now merely "Konnor." Viktor is facing Hideo Itami, who once was KENTA.

The announcers point out that Itami hasn't been in NXT long enough to have any friends on the locker room. The refs flood the ring to get control of the situation. A trainer checks on Itami post-assault. Itami sells a possible concussion. Brennan leads us right into a recap discussion of the Carmella situation.
