(Tuesday)

With TLC less than two weeks away, Luke has made a little detour back to NXT 2.0. due to Grayson Waller once again running his mouth to the Nomad, which in translation is an invitation back to his brand.

Luke: this idiot doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut

Liv giggled as she laid her head on his shoulder as they drove up to the Capitol Wrestling Center.

Liv: hmm, I wonder if Kairi is back here

Luke: I believe so, she made the choice to rejoin with Io Shirai

Liv: my friend!

Luke chuckled as he smiled at his girlfriend's cuteness. The couple then got out of the car and walked hand in hand inside the NXT arena.

(Some time later)

The show began with a women's tag team match between the team of Persia Pirotta & Indi Hartwell taking on the team of the recently reunited Sky Pirates, Io Shirai & Kairi Sane.

Kairi adjusted to the new landscape of NXT, seeing more of the young talent mixed with the veterans. The only veterans the Pirate Princess saw since returning to NXT was her best friend Io Shirai, Tommaso Ciampa and Dakota Kai.

As for the match, it was a competitive back and forth between the two teams, but it ended after Kairi took down Hartwell with a spinning forearm followed by an Insane Elbow for another successful pinfall homecoming win.

The celebration was short lived as Toxic Attraction came down for a 3 on 2 beatdown, as the NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne sees the potential threat to their tag team title reign. NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose was directing orders to her teammates, but the Toxic beat down stopped in the form of a familiar theme.

Another surprise came for the NXT crowd as Liv returned to the brand where she started, the Jersey native took in the cheering crowd while she nodded and smiled. Liv ran down the ramp and took down Rose and connect rapid punches. Gigi and Jacy pulled Liv off, but the number one contender to Becky's title fought them off and connected punches to the Women's Tag Champions. Then Liv turned her attention back to Mandy and took her down with an enziguri, making her roll out of the ring.

The Sky Pirates got back up and neutralized the rest of Toxic Attraction by throwing them out of the ring. Liv, Kairi and Io stood tall in the ring as Mandy, Gigi and Jacy retreated to the ramp with their titles.

In the ring, Kairi, Io and Liv hugged each other and raised their arms while the crowd cheered. Then a few minutes later, the crowd has received news from Shawn Michaels and the rest of management that next week on NXT 2.0. is a six woman tag team match.

In the back, Luke nodded in agreement and clapped as he saw the match card graphic.

Luke: wow, six woman tag match, this will be in the words of the wise Jim Ross, a slobberknocker

Meanwhile, Liv went to the back, saw her love and ran to him before jumping onto his back.

Liv: did you watch me, Lukey?

Luke: oh yeah I did, and you a match next week here

Liv: Kairi had her homecoming, now I will have my homecoming

Luke: oh this match will be awesome

Liv smiled as she kissed his cheek and then look up at the screen to admire the match card graphic.

(A few minutes later)

There was no main event match, but a segment as Grayson Waller came out with a group of his private security to keep the border between himself and Luke. Also standing beside the Arrogant Waller was his bodyguard, Sanga.

Grayson was in the ring with a mic.

Grayson: alright, let's get this started, shall we? Now, last week on SmackDown, myself and The Miz had the upper hand on Luke, we could've won if it wasn't for Alex Auditore. But that is done, I invited Luke, so come on out Luke, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere

Luke's theme played and the Nomad walked out to the stage, staring down at Grayson and Sanga.

Luke walked down the ramp and got in the ring where was held back by Waller's security.

Luke got a mic and crossed his arms.

Grayson: welcome back to my house, Luke. Great to see ya again

Luke wasn't amused by Grayson's comical introduction.

Grayson: not a man with many words, I see. Well I just want to address that you got lucky on SmackDown, The Miz and I really gave you a beating, and you see that the boss himself, Mr. McMahon has recruited myself and The Miz so that we can stop you and end your career at TLC

Luke: the boss himself recruited two loudmouths, an arrogant selfie fanatic and a giant tower, yeah I have to be scared, but why the hell should I be? I kicked your ass three times already, and honestly I didn't need any help on SmackDown, but Alex had a personal vendetta against the A-List loudmouth, so I don't blame him at all. And as for you, how much money you paid your giant Omos bootleg?

Sanga was provoked, but Grayson held him back.

Grayson: shut it! You shut your mouth!

Luke: I won't forget what you did to LA Knight, such cowardice

Grayson: hey hey! Knight deserved that beating and I promise you, he won't be back anytime soon-

As Waller continued to talk, coming from the crowd was NXT Champion Kenji Cruz. The Samurai was in stealth mode and waited for his queue to strike.

Grayson: -you don't have any help, Luke! You're just one man!

Luke: one man huh?

The Nomad smirked as he saw Kenji getting in the ring.

Luke: check your math, it's two!

Then Kenji ambushed Grayson by locking in a standing Ghidorah Lock while Grayson struggled. Luke rammed through the security and connected punches on Sanga before ducking a right hand and taking him down with a German suplex.

More of Grayson's security guards got in the ring and Kenji broke the hold on Waller and joined Luke on fighting off the guards. Grayson ordered more guards to take down Luke and Kenji, but as the numbers game was about to catch up, a familiar theme played.

Grayson's face expression was all shock and awe as the song belonged to former NXT UK Champion, the Fil-Brit Brawler William Tuazon who dropped his title to the Mad Russian Ilja Dragunov, an athlete he had great respect for due to his relentless and risk taking attitude. William was part of the handful of NXT UK Superstars to jump to the American NXT, joining his friend Pete Dunne and his greatest rival WALTER.

William was also not too happy of WALTER's name change and since has combatted authority. The Fil-Brit Brawler walked down the ramp and took down some security guards with clotheslines and kicks. He then got in the ring and joined Luke and Kenji in the security beat down while Grayson and Sanga can only do but watch.

The ring was cleared with Luke taking one guard down with the Super Polymerization, Kenji nailing another guard with the Gojira and William finishing the last guard off with the East Meets West ripcord lariat.

Grayson then ordered Sanga to take care of them and the bodyguard obliged and got in the ring. Kenji and William ducked the impending double clothesline and hits a double superkick, fazing Sanga.

Then Luke got Sanga on his shoulders while Grayson pleaded to Luke to put him down; Luke indeed put down Sanga in the form of another Super Polymerization.

Grayson retreated to the ramp and helped some of his security up while Kenji, William and Luke stood tall inside the ring.

With TLC around the corner, the WWE Universe has speculated an alliance between Luke, Kenji, William and Alex, but so far it's a blurry speculation, since they can see that William and Kenji came on their own and Grayson only invited Luke and no one else.

However, they can confirm the alliance between Vince McMahon, The Miz, Omos, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.

The show ended with Luke putting his foot on Sanga while Grayson stood on stage with an intimidated look on his face.
