- Carmelo Hayes (with Trick Williams) defeated Apollo Crews in a Two-Out-Of-Three-Falls Match after a shocking return in the form of Commander Azeez.



After a cutter move, Hayes immediately applied the crossface to pick up a submission win on Crews to make the score 1-0.



Crews' former bodyguard Commander Azeez then made his return, trying to pull down Trick from the apron. But it backfired as Hayes decked him with Nothing but Net finisher for the pin to win with the score being 2-0.



After the match, Azeez turned on Crews and launched a vicious attack on him. Crews was planted on a chair with a sit-out powerbomb as Azeez stood tall to end the segment.

- Roxanne Perez (c) defeated Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne in a Triple Threat to retain her WWE NXT Women's Championship.

- Bron Breakker (c) defeated Grayson Waller to retain his WWE NXT Championship in the Steel Cage Main Event Match of NXT Vengeance Day 2023.



Waller was on the verge of a win after hitting a low blow followed by a Stunner but Breakker astonishingly kicked out of it! Waller then went for a move off the top of the cage but Breakker stopped him.



Breakker came off with a huge superplex on Waller from up there. He then connected with a Spear followed by a massive Spear (by running the ropes) to secure the pin-fall win.

After the match, Carmelo Hayes appeared on the ramp and made it clear that he’s coming after the NXT title. A stare-down between Breakker and Carmelo sent Vengeance Day off the air.
