Episode 1 – July 6
(1) Bayley beat Alexa Bliss in 8:32.
Post-match, Bayley called out Nia Jax for injuring her and usurping her spot at Takeover. Nia came out, stared Bayley down, and promptly left.

Fall #2 – The Revival in 1:24 at 19:07 total. Jordan tapped to Dawson’s leg bar submission hold.
Fall #3 -The Revival in 3:30 at 22:38 total. Revival hit a sick Shatter Machine to Gable on the apron, then rolled him into the ring for the pin by Dawson. Jason was selling the knee at ringside.
Episode 2 – July 13
NXT champion Samoa Joe entered for a promo segment. Joe said he’s out here for a few reasons. Firstly, to witness Shinsuke Nakamura versus Finn Balor. Also to assert that the implications of the match are unjust. Those implications being that the winner qualifies as a contender to his title. The reality is that Joe slayed the demon, and the premise that Finn gets another chance is disrespectful. Joe said another truth is that he is the EMPEROR of strong style, and he warned Shinsuke of what’s to come if he makes it past Finn. … Enter Rhyno. Rhyno threatened to run right through Joe, who dismissed Rhyno and bailed from the ring with a smirk.
(1) Austin Aries squashed Patrick Clark in 1:54. Post-match, No Way Jose stormed the ring and went right after Aries. Refs spilled out to pull them apart and Aries fled the scene.
(2) Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas squashed Angelo Dawkins in 2:42.
(3) NXT Women’s champion Asuka beat Eva Marie in 4:32.
Episode 3 – July 20
(1) NXT champion Samoa Joe beat Rhyno in 5:46. Rhyno tapped to the clutch. Rhyno was blown up pretty bad.
Dasha announced that a limited allotment of Cruiserweight Classic tickets have been made available
American Alpha made their entrance and were jumped by AOP on the stage. AOP entered the ring with Paul Ellering, who had a mic in hand. William Regal came out to help referees get Gable and Jordan to the back. It looked like Jordan legit hit a steel beam on the guardrail pretty hard as he fell off the stage.
A rarity, Regal consented for a brawl and released Alpha to the ring. Gable and Jordan stormed the ring and got rid of AOP.
(2) Authors of Pain (w/Paul Ellering) beat American Alpha in 6:32. Alpha had an out with the pre-match attack.
(3) Bayley beat Nia Jax in 13:49 with a top-rope Bayley to Belly.
