The first part of the Mr. NXT Pageant took place, judged by Aaron Rourke, Kit Wilson, and Matt Mathews. The initial category was attire, with contestants showing off three pieces. Matt Mathews appreciated Tristan from the neck down and liked Shiloh's attire. Kit Wilson, however, described Shiloh's attire as

tacky

and added

he didn't like him, he loved him

regarding Tristan. Aaron Rourke stated he

loves Shiloh's choices but he says he has to go with Tristan.

In a Number One Contender Match, Naraku defeated Mason Rook by pinfall with an STO, following an appearance by Kam Hendrix on the apron. In the LOUNGE, Tavion requested a rematch from Myles. Myles stated his previous encounter with Tavion was just a one time thing because he has to defend the title at Great American Bash. Tavion suggested

maybe he should face Myles for the title,

which Myles liked. Jackson Drake then commented,

it is nice that Myles is giving out title matches to friends like a charity case.

Tavion challenged Jackson Drake to a match next week, stating

if he wants his, then they can meet next week and the winner faces Myles at the Bash

to determine Myles' challenger at the Great American Bash.
