Mustafa Ali defeated Tyler Bate

Eddy Thorpe (with Gable Steveson) defeated Damon Kemp in an Underground match
Thorpe won via referee stoppage, after Thorpe caught Kemp in a triangle. Steveson was at ringside in Thorpe’ corner, and Steveson got into a post-match scuffle with several plants that attack him.
Unlike Raw Underground having its own separate set, NXT Underground takes place on the same soundstage in the PC as the NXT show itself. It basically looked like the Bloodsport shows promoted by GCW with better production value. Wrestlers in street clothes also surrounded the ring like lumberjacks.
There was some grappling and submission attempts mixed with wrestling spots outside of the ring. At one point, Steveson his comically holding his gold medal like Paul Bearer would do the urn for The Undertaker, willing him on to victory.
The fighting spilled onto the floor a few times. Kemp posted himself shoulder first, and Thorpe then targets the arm. Thorpe catches Kemp in a triangle. Kemp tries to power out, but Thorpe reapplies the triangle. The referee then jumps in to stop the match, awarding Thorpe the match.
Steveson was celebrating with Thorpe when one of the lumberjacks that surrounded the ring earlier suddenly jumps into the ring. The plant then starts fiddling with Steveson’s gold medal. This upsets Steveson. He takes off his medal, and he starts suplexing dudes like he was Taz in ’96.
Steveson gives he first dude a German suplex. Some other plant jumps in, and he gets dumped with a suplex. Another dude gets suplexed after trying to jump in. A fourth plant that towered over Steveson gets face to face with him. So Steveson suplexed him as well, after the guy pretty much jumped into Steveson’s arms. Thorpe puts the medal back around Steveson’s neck, and everybody lives happily ever after … except those dudes that got a suplex.

The Dyad won after outside interference by a masked assailant. The Creeds are in storyline done with NXT, as they must leave the brand according to the stips.
The Dyad jump The Creeds before the bell officially starts the match. The Creeds quickly make a comeback. Brutus does a wild plancha over the ropes into a cannonball. Julius does a shooting star press and goes for a cover. Gacy breaks up the count by pulling Reid out of the ring they are in the NWO. Thus, the referee ejects Gacy from ringside as the show cuts to a commercial break.
Gacy is gone after the show returns from the break, but The Dyad are in control as they work over Brutus. Hot tag to Julius and he looks to run wild. The Dyad try to cut him off, but Julius still runs wild. He skins the cat and does a dive to the outside.

After escaping the hold, Fowler jumps off the middle rope to deliver a codebreaker.
At the urging of his brother, Brutus hulks up. He and Julius go to set up a Doomsday Device. However, Fowler trips up Brutus and puts Brutus into an electric chair. The Dyad then do their own Doomsday Device on the floor as Reid jumps through the ropes into a tope that knocks Brutus off Fowler’s shoulder.

Ava jumps in to interfere, but Ivy Nile also jumps on. Nile waylays Ava, and they brawl. An unknown assailant wearing a red hoodie and a mask hops the barricade and attacks Julius.
