NXT kicks off with the return of Tommaso Ciampa!
Tommaso Ciampa vs Angel Garza
The match started off with some quick counter wrestling as the crowd chanted “Daddy Ciampa.”
Garza would take control and land a suicide dive to the floor. garza would maintain control in the rain and eventually do his signature stripping of the tights which would infuriate Ciampa who would pummel him down into the corner and hit a face wash. Before doing the same to the inanimate tights.
Which article of clothing should @NXTCiampa face next? ?

WINNER: Tommaso Ciampa
The Undisputed ERA would come out and hand Mauro Ranallo a USB drive. A promo for Finn Bálor appearing live tonight sent us into commercial.
Back from break, they aired the footage from the USB drive, which showed the Undisputed ERA laying waste till the Velveteen Dream backstage. Adam Cole threatened that this is what would continue happening if the group didn’t get respect.
They brutalized @VelveteenWWE. They destroyed his glasses. And they RECORDED IT ALL! ?#UndisputedERA are out here sending a message to EV-ER-Y-ONE. #WWENXT@AdamColePro @KORcombat @theBobbyFish @RoderickStrong pic.twitter.com/YGqwbcJPl2
