Ilja Dragunov was out next and said that Trick gave everything in their match on Sunday and earned the champ’s respect and adoration.
He then called out Carmelo and called him a snake before asking to face him immediately.
Dijak came out instead and said that he should stop his obsession with Trick and Melo and focus on real challengers like him.
Ilja said that as the champion, it was his duty to teach Melo a lesson, but when he does face Dijak, he will give him the beating of his life.
A brawl broke out between the two as Dijak socked the champ in the nose before officials came out to stop them.
Backstage on NXT, Jacy Jayne was advising Thea Hail on her date with Riley Osborne and told her to play hard to get.

Osborne returned with a big slam and got a near fall before heading up to the top rope. Riley was distracted as he tried to find Thea in the crowd, and King used the moment to drop him with a kick.

Carmelo was back out and said nobody wanted to hear his story. He said that he wasn’t jealous of Trick and that he allowed him to be successful.
Melo added that he wanted to be the one to put Trick in his place since the latter stepped out of line by going after the NXT Title.
Melo said that they had an agreement: Trick sticks to the North American Title while Hayes goes for the NXT Championship.
Instead, Williams thought he could get away by trying to win the NXT Title, and Melo punished him.
We got Williams’ entrance music, but no one came out as Melo laughed it off before admitting that he was the one who attacked Trick last year.
Hayes said that Trick was always meant to be his hype man, and that’s all he would ever be before walking out.
Roxanne Perez vs. Lola Vice on WWE NXT
Perez got the first takedown, and Lola tried to flee the ring before Roxanne hit her with a big dive to the outside and dragged her back inside. The former NXT Women’s champ was delivering a beatdown but was dropped in the corner before taking a hip attack from Vice.
