WWE NXT kicked off this week with a bang as The Judgment Day made their way to the ring. Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio, and WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley received a mixed reaction from the crowd. Balor took the mic and declared that daddy’s home and laid down some house rules with The Judgment Day. He introduced Priest and Ripley, but the crowd’s boos intensified when Dominik tried to speak.
However, Trick Williams and NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes interrupted the proceedings. Ripley yelled at them for interrupting Dominik, but Hayes claimed that Balor is on the NXT Mount Rushmore, but NXT is now influenced by Trick and Melo. Ripley dismissed their claims, and Trick and Priest exchanged words. Hayes suggested a match, and Balor warned him that if he comes at The Prince, he better not miss. The match was set, and the two teams faced off in the main event.
