NXT No Mercy Kickoff: Blair Davenport def. Kelani Jordan
Then, Now, Forever, Together…this is NXT.
The cold open brings us to an excited crowd in Bakersfield for NXT No Mercy as Bron Breakker makes his way to the ring for our opening contest! The former NXT Champion enters the ring, ready to take on the Lone Wolfe…as Baron Corbin makes his way to the ring via a motorcycle! Corbin rides down the ramp and around the ring before finally parking it nearby, egging Bron on…to which Breakker complies with a big dive over the top rope!
Bron goes after Corbin as the security try to intervene to no avail before the two end up brawling into the crowd! Corbin gets the upper hand for a moment, until Breakker fights back sending the Lone Wolf back toward ringside. Bron fends off security which gives Corbin an advantage he exploits, eventually bringing Breakker to the announce table…and using some steel steps that have been set up, he goes for a senton!
But Breakker narrowly avoids in, as Corbin crashes onto the table instead! Bron takes Corbin and sends him into the ring for this match to finally get underway!
Baron Corbin vs. Bron Breakker
Bron has the early advantage thanks to everything that went on before, taking Corbin down…but Baron turns it around and gets a nearfall as a result! Corbin brings Bron back to his feet, sending the former champ into the corner before taking him down hard for another nearfall. Corbin continues the attack, going to work with some mounted punches. Corbin lifts Breakker up, only for Bron to fight out of it and take the Lone Wolf down!
Breakker with some hard forearms to the back of the head of Corbin now, before bringing him to the corner and laying in a hard hip attack!

Corbin heads to the corner, egging Breakker on as Bron goes after the Lone Wolf…who seems to be enjoying himself as he stops a suplex attemp by Breakker before dropping him for a nearfall. Corbin gets turned around by Breakker who looks for a submission hold…only for Baron to get to the ropes to break the hold!
Breakker continues the attack until he gets taken for a ride with a Deep Six by Baron for the cover…BUT BREAKKER KICKS OUT!
Both men slowly get to their feet now before trading strikes, things looking even between both competitors until Bron hits a knee to the face of Corbin! Corbin gets sent to the corner because of this, and Bron narrowly avoids an End of Days to get a nearfall on Corbin instead!
Breakker back to his feet, taunting the crowd as he goes back after Corbin with a shoulder tackle before sending the Lone Wolf out of the ring! Bron gives pursuit, but this costs him as Corbin sends him through the announce table with a spinebuster! But Bron sits up…and he gets back to his feet for a spear on Corbin!
Bron brings Corbin back into the ring, but before he can more damage Mr. Stone shows up to try and intervene…only to be sent flying out of the ring by Breakker! Bron turns around, only to get caught with an End of Days by Corbin for the pin and the win!

Trick catches him again, sending the champ back into the ring…but Dom catches him by surprise, leading to an attack at ringside as he sends the challenger into the barricade.
