Slipped into the episode was a mention of Roderick Strong's social media baiting of champion Bobby Roode, with commentator Mauro Ranallo pointing out Roode's cheeky wink at Strong's wife in the audience after their match a couple of weeks ago.

The segment in itself was nothing much but it does suggests a rematch between the two being built up and cashed in for the future.

Roode and Strong put on one of the best matches NXT has seen this year and another match between them deserves a bigger stage.

It doesn't even require too much of a build, with their excellent first encounter serving as reason enough to have another one to prove who really is the best.
