Mark Coffey def. Dion Lennox
In his attempts to continue bullying rookies on behalf of his likeminded Gallus mates, Mark Coffey slugged it out with intriguing newcomer Dion Lennox, who was searching for his second straight NXT Level Up victory.
Coffey, who recently scored wins over young Superstars such as Cutler James and Shiloh Hill, got an assist when Joe Coffey and Wolfgang dashed to the ring and hopped onto the apron. After the resilient Lennox slugged Wolfgang and swung wildly at Joe Coffey, he walked right into a match-ending bullhammer from Mark Coffey.
Following the bout, Gallus mercifully pummeled Lennox, but James and Hill hit the scene and stood tall in the ring after brawling with Gallus and sending them scurrying.
Izzi Dame def. Tyra Mae Steele
Admittedly hungry for her first WWE win, Olympic gold medalist Tyra Mae Steele immediately overwhelmed the arrogant Izzi Dame with an emphatic takedown and a nasty strike to the face.
Dame eventually turned the tide with by dodging her airborne opponent, yanking her to the mat and landing several vicious stomps and a backbreaker.
After playing defense for some time, Steele electrified the NXT Arena with an innovative snake eyes and a suplex, but Dame kicked out at two and soon notched the win with A Bit Dizzy, a modified flatliner.
Dante Chen & Drake Morreaux def. Kale Dixon & Uriah Connors
Though he typically likes to test NXT rookies as The Gatekeeper of NXT, Dante Chen opted to team up with newcomer Drake Morreaux, who earlier this week was confronted by Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors in the weightroom before Chen emerged to even the odds.
Despite teaming for the first time and being opponents in the past, Chen and Morreaux found nearly instant chemistry, blitzing Dixon and Connors with a barrage of tandem maneuvers.
Dixon and Connors made certain to antagonize the NXT Universe while keeping Chen isolated from his partner, but they were in dire straits as soon as The Gatekeeper tagged Morreaux. And after Morreaux tattooed each of his opponents with several wicked right hands, he hurled Connors straight into a decisive Chentle Touch.
