We head to another commercial break after this, with Vic Joseph and Booker T hyping the second Iron Survivor Challenge qualifying match tonight pitting Dijak one-on-one against Tyler Bate. That is coming up next.

When we return, we see Jacy Jane waiting on Andre Chase and the rest of Chase U by herself when up comes some representatives of The Family, who hand her some papers for Andre Chase. Chase walks up just as she was about to open it. He tells her that’s illegal.

Thea Hail and Duke Hudson also show up and Jane denies what she really was talking about and then brings up Chase and Hudson’s title shot. Chase dismisses the rest of Chase U and Hudson says that’s a good idea and they can now strategize for next week.

Hudson and Hail walk off. Jane walks off after making a face at Chase. Chase opens up his papers and looks freaked out as he sees them. A rematch for the tag titles seems set for next week. Back in the arena, Dijak’s theme hits and out he comes for the Iron Survivor Challenge qualifier.

He settles in the ring and his entrance tune dies down. Tyler Bate’s theme hits and out comes “The Big Strong Boi” for this Iron Survivor Challenge qualifying match. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one.

We see some back-and-forth action and then Dijak jumps into the offensive lead as we head into a mid-match commercial break. When we return, we see Bate hitting an avalanche fisherman’s suplex off the top-rope for an enormous pop to shift the offensive momentum in his favor.

Dijak takes back control of the offense and heads to the top-rope. He comes off and connects with a huge high spot and lands on his feet. He lets out a war scream and the two begin duking it out again as fans chant “This is Awesome!” Bate starts to take over again. He looks for Tyler Driver ’97 but Dijak avoids it.

Now we see Dijak hoist Bate up and launch him in the air. On the way down he catches him with a big stiff knee. He immediately goes for the cover and gets the three-count. With the win, Dijak qualifies for the 2023 Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline 2023.

Winner and QUALIFYING for Iron Survivor Challenge: Dijak

Trick Williams, Carmelo Hayes Go Face-To-Face

In the parking lot, we see Trick Williams pull up in a car and pop-out. He begins walking towards the CWC as Vic Joseph say he and Carmelo Hayes go face-to-face in the ring — next. On that note, we head to another commercial break.

When we return, it is announced that Lita will pick the Iron Survivor Challenge qualifying matches for next week’s NXT. Chase U vs. The Family for the tag titles is also confirmed for next week’s show. We then shoot back inside the CWC and we see Carmelo Hayes is already standing in the ring.

He wastes no time in calling out Trick Williams to sort things out. He says this is bigger than the NXT World Championship. The theme for Trick hits and out he comes to chants from the crowd of “Whoop that Trick!” as Booker T does the hip-hop ad-libs. Best entrance in the game, by far.

The two immediately get into things. ‘Melo says he can tell Trick has a lot to be upset about after being blindsided. They talk about their history and Trick then asks why can’t Carmelo be there for him the way he was for him when it was his time. He says it’s his time now and ‘Melo ain’t there for him the same way now.

Trick says he has to ask. Hayes says ask him what. He talks about how he knew Trick was destined for greatness from the beginning. When the NFL didn’t work out, he knew Trick was still destined for greatness. Hayes asks if that answers his question. Trick says he wants to have his moment and have his main events.

Williams says whenever Hayes needed him, he had his back. He asks where Hayes is when he needs him. He says he didn’t even see what happened, but all he knows is he wasn’t there for him. Hayes says so you didn’t see who did it?

Trick says he got hit in the side of the head and the next thing he knew he was waking up with refs over him and the only voice he heard was Hayes’. Hayes asks again if he didn’t see who did it. Trick asks why is that all he’s focusing on. Trick asks him outright if he did it. Hayes asks if he wants the truth.

Before anything else can happen, the theme for Lexis King hits and out comes the former Brian Pillman Jr. He says we have quite the paradox here. He says we’ve got the friend who was brutally assaulted and the first man at the scene of the crime was his best friend.

Hayes says he knows he’s new here and tells him to mind his business. Trick tells him the same. King says it seems to him like everyone already knows who did it. He says it also could’ve been someone new trying to make an impact. Someone who’s dark and twisted. He asks Trick if he’s sure it was ‘Melo who assaulted him. Trick warns him again to leave.

Lexis King says he wants to say what everyone else in this business is thinking. He says he’s been sucking his thumb for weeks. He goes to attack Lexis but Lexis moves and Trick ends up taking out Hayes instead. Trick looks shocked that he did that. He looks down at Hayes and offers his hand to pick him up. Hayes takes it and stands up.

The two hug but Hayes has a mean look on his face, gritting his teeth. Trick’s theme hits and the show goes off the air on that note. Thanks for joining us!
