Hey there, Wrestling Edge! Tonight’s a very special episode as we get a main event Four-Way Ironman Match for the NXT Championship. We’ll find out whether Balor, Cole, Gargano, or Ciampa are truly Mr NXT.
Legado del Fantasma vs Breezango & Isaiah “Swerve” Scott
Joaquin Wilde starts the match by diving to the outside while Legado del Fantasma starts getting weapons. While the heels start out at the advantage, Fandango evens the odds by using a ladder as a weapon against all Legado del Fantasma members. Tyler Breeze also has a comedic spot unleashing the power of a fire hydrant.

When we come back to break we see that Tyler Breeze was put through a table on the outside and Legado del Fantasma has gotten the advantage once again. Imperium come out to exact revenge on Breezango, though Isaiah “Swerve” Scott and Fandango leap off of a conspicuously placed forklift to dive on the heels. Swerve and Santos Escobar are the two left in the ring and Swerve plants Escobar with a driver to get the pin and win, with Swerve celebrating on the forklift.

Candice LeRae vs Kacy Catanzaro
Prior to the match, they play a package about Tegan Nox and her prior relationship with Candace. Kayden Carter accompanies Kacy Catanzaro for the match. The match has a lot of speed to start, also probably one of the smoothest starts to a Kacy match so far in NXT. Very cool move as well as Kacy hits a flipping heel kick on LeRae. It isn’t enough as LeRae wins with a curb stomp on Catanzaro.

Afterward Candice gets on the mic to say that with seeing Tegan’s package and the KC friendship, she would love to hash things out and treat Tegan to dinner.
"Swing by my house, dinner's on me."
Does @CandiceLeRae REALLY want to patch things up with @TeganNoxWWE_??? #WWENXT #NXTSuperTuesday pic.twitter.com/QOGYOE5WtO

Bronson Reed vs Timothy Thatcher
Reed is going hold for hold with thatcher, with the added advantage of his size in an effort to get an edge over the more technical Thatcher. Bronson maintains a major advantage over Thatcher, keeping himself on the offensive against Thatcher. Unfortunately Austin Theory comes out and attacks Reed when the ref can’t see and Thatcher is able to lock in the Arm Bar for the win.
This one-on-one battle between @bronsonreedwwe and #TimothyThatcher has quickly turned into a hard-hitting slugfest. #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/3hht8dROs9

Balor comes close to getting a pin on Gargano with a Coup de Gras, but Johnny rolls out of the way. Ciampa attempst to take advantage of this with an Air raid crash, but Finn kicks out. At one point during the picture-in-picture both Gargano and Ciampa have Balor and Cole in submissions, but neither is able to make a breakthrough. Balor finally gets an advantage by throwing cole into Gargano on the outside and following it with a kick on both after sending Ciampa through the timekeeping area. He lands the Coup de Gras full-bore on Adam Cole and this results in the first pin at the 25 minute mark
