Episode airing March 25, 2015
Commentary Team: Rich Brennan and Corey Graves
 
Match 1:
- Tye Dillinger vs Jason Jordan
Jordan won with a Half-Nelson Pump Handle Suplex.

Match 2:
- Bayley vs Emma
Bayley won by pinfall. Emma was doing her dance during a pin attempt, which allowed Bayley to get her legs up and reverse it for the victory.

Match 3:
- NXT Tag Team Champions Blake & Murphy vs Lucha Dragons
Blake & Murphy won after Sin Cara was hit with a suplex by Murphy and a Frog Splash by Blake.

Sami Zayn came down to the ring to speak about his absence since Takeover: Rival. He said that it's good to be back and acknowledged that many knew he was overseas in Abu Dhabi. He said that the timing of the tour was interesting. He felt that he should have been thinking about how great it was to be there and to wrestle in front of his people. However, all he could think about was Kevin Owens. Owens is a different guy now, and not just because he is more experienced in the ring. He has changed from the guy Zayn faced over the past ten years. Zayn has had some time to think and formulate a plan. He will use his rematch to win back his championship, but his number one priority is to kick Kevin Owens' ass.

Match 4:
- Rhyno vs Unnamed Wrestler
Rhyno won with two moves: A belly-to-belly suplex and The Gore.
After the match, Rhyno cut a promo about how he came to NXT to make a statement and for the NXT Championship. He said that it doesn't matter if it is Sami Zayn, Finn Bàlor or Kevin Owens, anyone who gets in his way will be ripped in half with a Gore.

Match 5:  
- Two out of Three Falls Match: Tyler Breeze vs Hideo Itami
Fall One: Itami won with the Running Single-Leg Dropkick.
Fall Two: After the first fall, Breeze was down in the corner. He played possum as the ref stopped Itami from attacking him a few times. As soon as he got up, he hit the Beauty Shot to capture the second fall.
Fall Three: Breeze won the final fall with the Beauty Shot, following a sequence of both men reversing each others big moves.

News / Notes
- The next taping will be on Thursday, April 23rd.
- The shows may have been filmed out of order, as I suspect that the final episode taped may get moved up into the March 25th slot. If so, that would explain why it only had the two championship matches, since all of the non-Raw shows tend to be shorter during WrestleMania week.
- Considering that they only taped enough episodes to go up to April 8th, I wouldn't be surprised if a few episodes are filmed at their Ohio shows in March or during WrestleMania weekend.
- Make sure to not miss Zayn-Rhyno and Owens-Bàlor. Both were fantastic matches.
- Owens-Bàlor was given a ton of time to develop and tell it's story. The only thing separating it from a Takeover main event was that Bàlor didn't don the bodypaint.
- The crowd was confused as to why Alexa Bliss was facing Sasha Banks instead of Becky Lynch.
- Other than Sami Zayn, the wrestlers that Rhyno and Baron Corbin faced were not given ring introductions.
- Tye Dillinger had new music.
- Before the taping started, William Regal came out and thanked the fans for all the support and helping the NXT brand grow. He mentioned how big it will be to bring NXT on the road to the shows in Ohio and ran down some of the main events of the night.
