An NXT veteran picked up a win in last night’s main event.

Tommaso Ciampa defeated Ridge Holland on NXT last night, hitting Willow’s Bell to get the pin. Ciampa was then immediately attacked by Pete Dunne after the match. Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch held up Ciampa for Dunne to lay him out, but MSK made the save for Ciampa. Wes Lee and Nash Carter brawled with Lorcan and Burch and ran Dunne and Holland off.

MSK will defend their NXT Tag Team titles against Lorcan & Burch next Tuesday. The match was made after Lee & Carter went to NXT general manager William Regal and said they wanted to give Lorcan & Burch a title shot.

Lorcan & Burch had to vacate the NXT Tag Team titles this March after Burch suffered a separated shoulder.

Also on last night’s NXT, Johnny Gargano lost to LA Knight when Gargano was distracted by Dexter Lumis trying to give him a high-five, NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez faced off with Jessi Kamea in non-title action, Kyle O’Reilly took on Duke Hudson, Ikemen Jiro answered Roderick Strong’s open challenge, and Mandy Rose lost by countout to Sarray after taking a dropkick to the face.

New NXT United Kingdom Champion Ilja Dragunov also cut a promo on last night’s show, and there were sit-down interviews with NXT Champion Samoa Joe and Kay Lee Ray.
