Eric Young (with Alexander Wolfe, Sawyer Fulton & Nikki Cross) vs. No Way Jose
Objective: Win with Eric Young
Triple H is on the phone in his office. He is talking to his wife, telling her the night has started off in the right direction. He says Sanity can hold their own and they’ll be great ‘bench’ players that add depth for them. #DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) enter the office, as Triple H tells his wife he’ll call her back. Hunter hangs up and welcomes the two, saying he knows they’re disappointed they didn’t get an NXT Tag Team Championship shot tonight. Hunter asserts that they’re going to star in the business. Gargano thanks Triple H for the kind words, but he was wondering if there was any room to be on the card tonight? Ciampa expresses the same concerns. Triple H says everything is booked, but then remembers something. He chuckles and mumbles ‘Undertaker, Kofi, Kane… I got an idea’.
Triple H says that there are some open WWE roster spots on the current main shows, so he decides to put Gargano and Ciampa in a match tonight. The winner will receive an automatic call-up to Raw and Smackdown Live! The two are ecstatic but realize they have to face each other, leading them to split. Triple H claims he knows where they are coming from, so he adds Kassius Ohno to the match which makes it a Triple Threat Match. Hunter says he is doing it so there’s a possibility #DIY both stay on NXT together without splitting up. The two accept and leave with glee, while Triple H’s fake smile turns into a sinister grin.

Triple H is confused, but Balor reveals that he has just been called up to the main roster. Triple H, clearly acting happy for Finn and not really meaning it, congratulates Balor.
