Konnor vs Rezar
The Ascension were given another chance to prove themselves against the Authors of Pain, as Konnor took on Rezar. This was a hard-hitting, physical match at the start, as you'd expect with these two men. Paul Ellering's presence at ringside was the difference, as he helped Rezar stay in control throughout, and pick up the win with a big powerbomb.
Winner: Rezar
Drew Gulak vs Cedric Alexander
There had been a lot of trash talk on social media between Cedric Alexander and the Cruiserweight Champion Neville over the past few days, leading to William Regal giving Cedric this chance. The Queen City's Favorite Son showed us everything he has in his arsenal, taking it to Drew Gulak. The tides turned when Neville himself made his way to ringside, attempting to cost Alexander the match. Cedric hung tough, surviving Gulak's brutal offense, and capitalized with a Lumbar Check to get the win.
After exchanging words during the match, Neville immediately took off after the bell had rung. Alexander was hot in pursuit, but the King of the Cruiserweights quickly made his escape.
Winner: Cedric Alexander
Apollo Crews vs Ricochet- Loser Leaves NXT
With such high stakes, it was clear that Apollo Crews was unwilling to let his previous loss against Ricochet haunt him. He was all over Ricochet before the bell could even ring, and this turned into a very one sided match. It was all Ricochet could do just to stay in it, although he did get some offense in. He quickly fell prey to a big sit-out powerbomb, but shocked everyone when he got the shoulder up. The Elite Athlete wasn't having that, and was even more brutal, determined to show the entire roster that Apollo Crews is a name to fear. He connected with a second powerbomb to the floor, nearly breaking Ricochet in half. That still wasn't enough, as he continued the assault outside of the ring. Finally, Apollo seemed to think his message had been sent, and he rolled Ricochet back into the ring for a third sit-out powerbomb, banishing Ricochet from NXT.
After the match, Full Sail rained down boos as Crews posed in the ring. He saw Ricochet slowly recovering on the outside, and decided his job wasn't finished. He walloped the now former NXT competitor with a steel chair, before planting him with a fourth powerbomb. Apollo Crews has indeed made a statement with this despicable display: he's one of the best NXT has to offer, and he's here to stay.
Winner: Apollo Crews
