After the match got over, Ciampa was floored at the ringside by Harland as he attacked from behind. Harland made a skeptical appearance in the crowd last week, and tonight he laid his hands on the NXT Champion. This attack could mean that Harland would be coming after Tommaso Ciampa and his NXT title in the future.

WWE NXT Highlights: Carmelo Hayes is the new NXT North American Champion

Tonight’s main event saw Hit Row’s Isaiah “Swerve” Scott defending his NXT North American Championship, the first time since winning it from Brosnon Reed, against Legado del Fantasma’s Santos Escobar.

Hit Row was moved to Friday Night Smackdown in the WWE Draft last week, so it was expected that Santos Escobar would defeat Swerve and win the NXT North American Title. However, that wasn’t the case. Swerve defeated Escobar to retain his title thanks to some assistance from Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams.

Hayes didn’t waste time as he hit a springboard and went for the cover. Swerve kicked out a close 2-count leaving Hayes stunned. Swerve tried to fight out, but he was all exhausted. Therefore, in the end, a superkick followed by a big leg drop from the top turnbuckle was enough for Hayes to pin Swerve and become the new NXT North American Champion.
