Here is your post-NXT fight size update for November 15.

– In the main event, Mandy Rose defended her NXT Women’s Championship against Alba Fyre in a Last Woman Standing Match. In the closing moments, Fyre was seemingly on the verge of victory, but Isla Dawn shockingly attacked her. Fyre was unable to answer the ten count, so Rose won the bout and retained the gold.

– JD McDonagh battled Apollo Crews. At the end of the hard-fought bout, Crews defeated McDonagh to gain even more momentum. NXT Champion Bron Breakker stared him down after the bell.

– NXT Champion Bron Breakker successfully defended his title against Von Wagner. Backstage,  JD MCDonagh confronted Breakker and said the champion will never be through with him. Later in the show, Apollo Crews told Breakker that when one challenge ends, another begins.

– Indus Sher (Veer Mahaan and Sanga) competed in their first match on TV in over two years and pickeed up a dominant win. After the match, Veer grabbed a microphone and said they have great respect for the Creed Brothers. He stated that he and Sanga aren’t appreciated in America. Sanga vowed to gain respect by destroying the Creed Brothers. Julius and Brutus Creed stated that they’ll be ready to fight Indus Sher. Ivy Nile tried to offer her advice, saying they were going after the wrong people, but they didn’t agree.

– Shawn Michaels announced that there will be two Iron Survivor Challenge Matches at WWE NXT Deadline.

– Booker T hosted the contract signing for NXT North American Champion Wes Les’s title match against Carmelo Hayes next week. Hayes said that Lee’s limit is where he pulls up and starts from. Hayes told Lee that his 15 minutes of fame will end next week. Lee responded by saying he’ll prove that he’s the new standard of NXT North American Champions next week. Hayes and Lee signed the contract and stared each other down. Booker T told them to save it for next week.

– Zoey Stark commented on her actions last week, saying that her back feels lighter because she doesn’t have to carry Nikkita Lyons anymore. She noted that she was ready to beat Mandy Rose for the title until she was paired with Lyons in the tournament for the tag titles. She recalled how the tournament didn’t go their way, and once she came back, she carried Lyons. Stark said she tried to be part of the solution, but now she’s part of the problem. She then said “screw you” to the fans and told them they’re all the same. Stark claimed that NXT isn’t about the future; it’s about her now. She stated that everyone backstage is the prey, and she’s the hunter.

– Backstage, Andre Chase met with Duke Hudson, who said he threw in the towel last week so Chase could fight another day. Hudson said he bleeds black and red. Thea Hail arrived and said Hudson is growing on her. 

– Wendy Choo called Cora Jade a salty and petulant child. She said Jade is trying to open old wounds, and anyone who has a problem with her should look in the mirror. Choo made it clear that she wants to face Jade.

– In a vignette, a mysterious individual called NXT a soft society, but that will change soon. He said his environment is a product of him, and hard justice is on its way.

– Odyssey Jones prepared to party with Malik Blade and Edris Enofe. Blade revealed he wears a sweater vest as a tribute to his dad.

– Indi Hartwell faced Tatum Paxley in a singles bout. She picked up the win and showcased some aggression. Roxanne Perez questioned her tactics after the match and wondered if she went too far by taking Perez’s mask off during the match. Hartwell said she’ll do what it takes to get a spot in the Iron Survivor Challenge Match.

– Scrypts stated that NXT’s camera and guards failed to catch them. They stated that, next week, everyone will see that they aren’t the same as Scrypts.

– Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen faced Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler of Schism. Kiana James came to ringside and tried to attack Fallon Henley, and the distraction helped the Schism duo win the bout.

– In an interview, Javier Bernal issued a challenge to Axiom. McKenzie Mitchell reminded Bernal that Axiom is hurt. Bernal then challenged Ilja Dragunov to a match, but Mitchell stated that he’s hurt, too. Bernal responded by claiming that he’s being held back.

– In a WWE Digital Exclusive, Mandy Rose said Isla Dawn had nothing to do with her win, and Alba Fyre was just another unsuccessful contender.

– In a WWE Digital Exclusive, Apollo Crews stated that he was ready to face Breakker on Tuesday, but he wanted to wait until the champion is 100%. Crews made it clear that he intends to take the title from him.
