Week 3:

- NXT Tag Team champions The Lucha Dragons defeated Jason Jordan and Tye Dillinger
- Bayley comes out for a promo talking about how she was bullied as a kid and how she had to stand up to bullies, even though Charlotte isn't here. Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch come out and attack her and injure her knee.
- Finn Balor defeated Tyson Kidd by DQ after The Ascension runs in. Hideo Itami comes out and they have a huge brawl with a bunch of refs and Performance Center guys trying to break them up.
Week 4:
- NXT Women's champion Charlotte defeated Mia Yim. After the match, Sasha comes out and cuts a promo on her. Bayley comes out on crutches to confront Sasha, but is attacked on her injured knee. Charlotte comes to her rescue and drags Sasha to the ring. Before she can attack, Becky Lynch distracts Charlotte so Sasha can hit the back cracker.

Notes:
- The card for NXT Takeover: Our Evolution wasn't fully announced to the live crowd. Likely matches for the event are:
- Adrian Neville vs. Sami Zayn for the NXT Title. If Zayn loses, he leaves.
- Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks for the NXT Women's Title
- The Lucha Dragons vs. The Vaudevillains for the NXT Tag Titles
- Finn Balor and Hideo Itami vs. The Ascension
- (Possibly) Baron Corbin vs. Bull Dempsey
- No live mention of Kevin Steen or him appearing soon.
- NXT Takeover: Our Evolution is December 11. The next set of tapings will be Dec.12
- Dark match segment had Seth Rollins coming out and talking about how the future is now. The Vaudevillains come out with Aiden English doing his old singing gimmick. They mock Seth, but he hits Gotch with the briefcase and a Curb Stomp on English.
- One other thing needs to be said. There is a portion of the crowd that is always very vocal, yelling out stupid things and trying to get their chants over. They want themselves to be the show. At one point, Bayley is trying to sell a knee injury and make it look serious. The crowd then started doing their tribute to Family Guy by grabbing their knees and mocking the injury. They did it again during the Vaudevillains/Blake and Murphy match. A couple of times, they tried to start a "We are awesome" chant. Even Seth Rollins told the crowd "Man, you guys like to put yourselves over." Seriously, stop it. You are not the show. It's okay to be active. It's okay to cheer and boo and have a good time. But you are not the show. Quit chanting inside things and be respectful of the performers putting their bodies on the line.
