NXT TV Taping Spoilers:

– The tapings started with 49 seconds of silence for the 3rd anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting.

– The show tapings open with Undisputed Era and Adam Cole celebrating Cole’s championship win, and Cole saying they’re coming for the remaining titles in NXT. They’re interrupted by Velveteen Dream, then Matt Riddle, then Tyler Breeze, setting up a six-man tag team match for later in the tapings.

1. Damian Priest defeated Raul Mendoza. Priest is the former Punishment Martinez. He won the match with a spin kick and Cross Rhodes.

– William Regal announced the “NXT Breakout Tournament,” an 8-man single elimination tournament featuring talent that hasn’t been featured on TV yet. The winner will get a title shot of their choosing. The tournament features Jordan Myles (the former ACH), BOA, Isaiah “Swerve” Scott (the former Shane Strickland), Cameron Grimes (the former Trevor Lee), Bronson Reed (the former Jonah Rock), Dexter Lumis (the former Sam Shaw), Angel Garza (the former Garza Jr.), and Joaquin Wilde (the former DJZ).

2. Xia Li defeated Taynara Conti.

4. NXT Breakout Tournament First Round Match: Angel Garza defeated Joaquin Wilde. Garza reportedly won with a, “double underhook backpack drop,” whatever that is.
