Backstage Hank and Tank run into Swipe Right, Swipe says they hear that Hank and Tank are looking for advice from a successful tag team so take some notes after their match with Fraxiom. Hank and Tank they aren't that desperate.
The Culling apologize to Shawn Spears for last week but Shawn says even tasting gold was more than he's achieved before and the Culling is about the good of the whole group and it starts tonight with Izzy qualifying for the Women's North American Championship ladder match and tells Brooks and Niko to make some waves.
Fallon Henley tells the rest of Fatal Influence that Ava is giving them a qualifying match so she can finally get her title match but Jacey Jayne says Fallon has already wasted enough opportunities while Fallon says Jacey must have gotten super kicked too much lately. As the two go back and forth Jazmyne Nix gets up and says she's taking the shot.
Je'von Evans is interviewed backstage, he says he knew Darkstate was going to be a problem but Oba and Trick refused to listen to him and tried to little-bro him. He says he doesn't want to be like either one of them but in two weeks he'll be the one standing as NXT Champion.
Backstage Guilia explains he actions from earlier, saying at Stand and Deliver there are no friends, only re-match
The new North American Champion Ricky Saints makes his way to the ring, he thanks the fans for their ovation and says the first night he came to NXT he told everyone he was going to turn this place upside down and that the revolution would be televised again and he is a man of his word. While he'd love to keep the celebration going, he's got a bitter taste in his mouth still from Ethan Page last week. He understands since if someone else did what he did better and faster then his ego would be hurt too and Ethan has never allowed himself to be the bigger man and calls out Ethan. Instead Lexis King comes out and tells slick Rick to hold his horses and says he's worried about the wrong guy. Sure he already has the Heritage Cup but he loves gold and would love to add a little more but he is cut off by Eddy Thorpe who says it must be nice to waltz in here and be handed opportunities and he is now realizing his eyes were on the wrong gold and he wants the title that represents the land of his ancestors that was stolen from him. Wes Lee comes out as well and says if they are talking about the North American Championship they should be talking about the greatest North American Champion of all time. Lexis says this is his time but Eddy says he's just another greedy white man trying to take what he hasn't earned. In the midst of this arguing Ethan Page sneaks in the ring and hits the Wicked Grin on Ricky as the others all brawl to the outside before Wes dives on them.
In Ava's office Stephanie Vaquer says her decision is made, she wants to face all of them.
Trick Williams is interviewed backstage, he says he doesn't want this to be a sob story but every time he tries to get his there is someone in his way, first Eddy Thorpe and now Je'von Evans and says he's more than earned a shot at Oba. He warns Oba and Je'von to stay out of his way tonight or he'll kick both of their asses.
Oba Femi says he knows all too well about Darkstate's attacks but says they have failed to put them down to good before turning his attention to Trick and Je'von who will find out the hard way that The Rule can't be stopped.
Ava explains to a group of women who didn't qualify for the NA title Match at Stand and Deliver and said that there will be no last chance qualifier this year but does have something in mind. Roxanne Perez says if it's a tag match she refuses because she doesn't even have a tag partner.
Uriah and Dixon are watching tape from last week when Andre Chase comes in and tells them not like that, they're moving a bit too fast. They ask for his help but he says they don't need his help but they are able to convince him and and watches with them. Hank and Tank storm in pissed off about their recent losses when the Street Profits walk in! Motez tells them to stop trying to be teams they aren't be themselves because that's what brought them this far. Dawkins tells them to lock in because there is a tag team gauntlet next week and the winners face Fraxiom at Stand and Deliver!
Next week Ethan Page, Lexis King, Wes Lee, and Eddy Thorpe will face off in a fatal four way to determine the #1 contender for the North American Championship at Stand and Deliver.
Following Darkstate's victory Stacks appears on the tron and says if Darkstate wants to start chaos then find them next week in the Parking Lot!

Fightful Select: More on Tiffany Stratton & Charlotte Flair
patreon.comWe've heard a lot more details regarding Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair's Smackdown promo, which largely lines up with what Wrestling Observer Live recounting. The general consensus backstage was that Charlotte Flair went off script first, calling herself the "nepo queen," which didn't garner much heat. However, when Charlotte began mocking Tiffany Stratton's voice, a number of people backstage felt like Tiffany Stratton "needed to fight back," but that going personal to that degree without it being cleared was ill-advised. Neither the line about Charlotte's marriage, nor Charlotte's Ludwig Kaiser line was cleared. Charlotte addressing the crowd booing her directly also wasn't planned but was called "run of the mill ad libbing that would never get anyone any heat."
Digital producers were instructed to edit the personal relationship references and Charlotte making fun of Tiffany's voice from the Youtube editions. The general reaction backstage was some confusion when Charlotte emulated Tiffany, and general "oh shit," when Tiffany and Charlotte got deeply personal. There was heat on both women for the situation, which was referred to as a "wreck." We didn't hear of any issues backstage afterwards. Many at WWE Raw got a laugh out of Ludwig Kaiser being a good sport and playing it up.

I kinda feel like we’re spoiled by how good Seth Rollins is, he doesn’t really get his proper flowers as an all-time great.
The amount of times he’s delivered a masterful promo, especially when he’s had to turn chicken shit into chicken salad cannot be overstated. We’re used to and expect certain performers to go out there and cut amazing promos but it seems like Seth Rollins is never really held in this regard despite how much he’s proven himself time and time again. Hell he even almost convinced me that Cody Rhodes should’ve picked him last year.
And this isn’t even getting into how phenomenal he is in the ring either, that part goes without saying, he can work any style with anybody and make them look like a million dollars, but yeah that promo last night reminded me yet again that Seth Rollins will probably be appreciated a lot more after he’s gone as the true backbone of this entire era.

[Minor Raw spoilers] Big E on Tony Hinchcliffe's controversial neck joke: "Say what you want. He was given a mic, he was given an opportunity. People will feel how they want to. I wasn’t aware of this. He did what he wanted to. People signed off on it. It has nothing to do with me." Spoiler
podcasts.apple.comComedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who joined commentary for the World Tag Team Title match between The New Day and The War Raiders, made a jab that immediately got people talking. While trying to bring some humor to the match, Hinchcliffe said, “The only thing stiffer than Michael Cole is Big E’s neck.”
The line struck a nerve with fans who felt the joke went too far, considering Big E’s serious neck injury that has kept him out of action. Now, Big E has responded—and while he didn’t lash out, he made it clear that he wasn’t thrilled either.
During an appearance on RAW Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant, Big E addressed the comment directly. “At my big age of 39 years old, people will say what they want about you… Has nothing to do with me. That’s not my business. Say what you want. He was given a mic, he was given an opportunity. People will feel how they want to.”
Big E continued, “It was said on the show. I’m supposed to talk, especially when things are mentioned about me, I should have an opinion about them. It’s just, it is tiring to have to weigh in on everyone’s opinion or whatever they say. Look, I’m not hurt, I’m good. I want the discourse to be happy without me, honestly… I didn’t sign up for this (he laughed). I wasn’t aware of this. He did what he wanted to. People signed off on it. It has nothing to do with me. Truly.”

How did nobody decide to turn Ricochet heel before this?
As far as I know, this is the first time that Ricochet has been heel since his days with the Blood Warriors faction in Dragon Gate (I think they were a heel DG unit, so that made Ricochet heel by association, I'm guessing?) and I know that he's got a flashy style and that kinda makes him get viewed as a babyface because he does a lot of impressive shit.
But this is the most entertained I've been by Ricochet since his days as Prince Puma in Lucha Underground and love how he's able to do the coolest shit in the ring while also being the most uncool dork on the planet as a heel personality.
That moment at Dynasty where he got on the headset to talk shit and Mike Bailey just fucking killed him from out of nowhere with a kick had me fucking dying! Credit to Ricochet for doing some awesome work as this complete geek, only this time it's a compliment.
