Ricky Saints overcame the Vanity Project in a Gauntlet Match and earned himself a match against Ethan Page at the Great American Bash.

First up was the brash Brad Baylor who took the fight to Saints, but the veteran weathered the early storm and hit a picture-perfect Tornado DDT to pin the young upstart.

Ricky Smokes entered next and immediately planted Saints on his shoulder. A sneak attack by Jackson Drake with the referee distracted worsened the injury even more.

Saints ultimately beat Smokes with a jackknife cover, but Drake systematically dissected the NXT Superstar’s compromised limbs.

Still, Saints overcame the challenge and hit Drake with a Roshambo to win the Gauntlet Match.

Charlie Dempsey def. Tavion Heights

What started as a friendly competition turned into a physical contest as Dempsey wasted no time laying into his No Quarter Catch Crew teammate.

Heights fired back and leveled Dempsey, leading to a virtual stalemate between the two Superstars.

Dempsey ruthlessly trapped Heights’ knee in the steel steps and locked in a knee bar before a modified stretch that forced Wren Sinclair to throw in the towel on Heights’ behalf.

Joe Hendry & Mike Santana def. The High Ryze

The NXT Tag Team Title remains with Hank Walker and Tank Ledger thanks to an assist from NXT Women’s North American Champion Sol Ruca and Zaria.

Spears and Vance shined early on as the powerhouse of The Culling pounced Walker so hard onto the announce table that it knocked over WWE Hall of Famer and NXT broadcaster Booker T.

Izzi Dame made her presence felt by nailing Walker with a huge Big Boot, but her and Tatum Paxley were neutralized by Sol Ruca and Zaria.

That distraction allowed Hank & Tank to hit Honk Honk on Spears and win the match.
