Grimes dug deep into his bag of tricks in one of his most impressive showings since joining the black-and-gold brand, but Lee was too much, dropping Grimes with a Spirit Bomb for the win.

NXT Tag Team Champions Imperium def. The Undisputed ERA

Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly try to bring an end to the age of Imperium on the black-and-gold brand. Catch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

The tension between Adam Cole and Pat McAfee took center stage, and it cost The Undisputed ERA dearly. Cole left Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly's corner to ultimately confront McAfee, who had been disparaging Cole within earshot on commentary throughout the bout. The situation was enough to distract O'Reilly's attention away from the ring, allowing Imperium to drop Fish with the European Bomb to retain their titles.

Just when the former NXT Champion and McAfee seem to have made amends, all hell breaks loose. Catch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

But the action was far from over. Despite several officials, including Triple H and NXT coach Shawn Michaels, trying to split them up, McAfee, a former All-Pro NFL punter, caught an unsuspecting Cole with a brutal punt kick, leaving him out cold.
