– DarkState hyped up their NXT Tag Team Title match against The Vanity Project and said they could become three-time champions tonight.
– Kelani Jordan called herself the fastest homegrown talent in WWE and claimed she was better than every woman called up to RAW and SmackDown, as well as everyone backstage in NXT. She brought up beating Kendal Grey last week and said she remains the only woman to make NXT Women’s Champion Lola Vice tap out. Kelani complained that she has never received a title opportunity despite being better than the rest of the division.

Izzi Dame interrupted and reminded everyone she was the one who pinned Lola, saying she deserved the next title shot and telling Kelani to get back in line. Lola Vice then came out and said she was better than everyone, which is why she is champion, before officially granting Izzi a title match next week.
Looks like @izzi_wwe and @kelani_wwe BOTH want a shot at @lolavicewwe's NXT Women's Championship! 😮 pic.twitter.com/VXiHmvcw2P

Rook then took Hendrix out.
