Match is even so far as Priest is continuing his offense but Grimes just keeps concentrating on the bandaged ribs of Priest.
Priest is unable to to pull off a razor’s edge because of the ribs. Grimes capitalizes and is able to hit a Cave In and gets the pinfall victory over Priest.

RHEA RIPLEY VS. ALIYAH W/ ROBERT STONE
Robert Stone seems to be getting a little better as he at least doesn’t seem drunk this week.
Aliyah definitely seems like she is trying to impress Stone constantly. Is she oblivious to how bad Stone is right now?
Rhea is just treating Aliyah like a rag doll early on.
Aliyah is doing a good job at countering moves from Rhea to escape a lot of the big moves. She is having trouble getting in any actual offense on Rhea, though.
Some taunting from Rhea to Robert Stone at ringside allows Aliyah to get a little bit of offense in.
Stone throws a shoe in to the ring while Rhea has her submission on. She breaks the hold because of it.

Wait, are they referring to the NXT Championship as Ten Pounds of Gold now? Beth and Mauro BOTH called it that during the entrance of Gargano.
Gargano bails out of the ring immediately after the bell telling Lee and Balor to go at it. Gargano tries to pick his moment but Lee is able to fend off both Balor and Johnny as we go to commercial.
As we return, Balor and Gargano are still trying to do some damage to Lee. Balor finally slows him down with a sleeper hold.
This turns into a great back and forth with Gargano and Balor switching doing the sleeper hold once the other is thrown off.
Lots of spots to put over the strength of Keith Lee. He’s having a lot of ease taking on both Balor and Gargano at the same time.
Great spot with Lee going into the steps but only after Gargano helps Balor pushing Lee. This leads into the commercial break.
Back from break, we have Balor and Gargano fighting alone in the ring with Lee taken out on the outside.

Nice looking kick from Gargano on Balor who had Lee in a sleeper hold.
Keith Lee hits a nice pounce on both Gargano and Balor as Balor was about to hit his DDT on Gargano on the outside.
I guess that Johnny knows how Candice feels after Lee falls on Gargano.

Post Match, Cole comes out and we have a pose off with the two champions.
