<p><strong>Kick-off Segment:</strong> <strong>Roderick Strong</strong> opened the <em>TakeOver: Portland</em> go-home edition of WWE NXT amidst The Velveteen Dream chants. Strong addressed Dream’s return last week and talked about how the latter had put his wife and son on his gear. The Undisputed ERA member vowed to put an end to their personal rivalry by destroying Dream before demanding an apology and getting interrupted by <strong>Bronson Reed</strong>.</p>



<p>Reed reminded Strong of the beatdown from last week and decided to settle things in the ring.</p>



<p><strong>Roderick Strong def. Bronson Reed: </strong>The <strong>Velveteen Dream</strong>’s entrance tease distracted Strong at ringside which resulted in the latter eating up a big suicide dive from Reed. Back in the ring, Reed went for a top-rope Frogsplash but Strong caught him mid-air with a big knee strike to pick up the victory.</p>



<p>Post-match, Dream appeared on the titantron and cut a promo to further their feud. He showed how his tights sported “Call Me Marina” after Strong’s wife <strong>Marina Shafir</strong> and promised to take care of her if anything should happen to the Undisputed ERA member.  Dream showed a photo of Marina and her son followed by his painted tights as Strong stormed to the back.</p>
