Timothy Thatcher defeats Matt Riddle via submission.

Thatcher manages to lock in the RNC, eventually putting Riddle to sleep.

Riddle escapes a Butterfly Suplex off the top and rocks Thatcher with a ripcord knee. Thatcher lands on the ring below and is met with a Broton from the top rope.

Riddle gets locked in an ankle lock while hanging off the cage. He escapes but misses a Broton, and Thatcher follows up with a suplex.

Riddle escapes and the two men eventually find themselves at the top of the cage, where Riddle pelts Thatcher with a series of roundhouses to the face.

Thatcher catches Riddle going for another springboard kick and turns it into an armbar attempt. Back to their feet, Thatcher repeatedly dumps Riddle on his head before locking in a single leg Boston Crab.

I'm not gonna lie...seeing Thatcher collect his teeth is...that's gruesome.

Thatcher makes it up, barely, at nine. When he stands up, we see that he's lost several teeth and his mouth is drenched in blood.

Riddle doesn't take any time, rushing Thatcher the second he gets in. A german and a few Brotons, followed by a roundhouse off the cage seemingly knocks Thatcher out.

Rules are simple, it's knock out or tap out.

It's time for the Fight Pit/Cage Fight/Whatever it's called!

Following the match, Karion Kross appears on the ring and states that he'll put Ciampa through a world of pain he's never known.

Tommaso Ciampa defeats Leon Ruff via pinfall.

Yep, pretty quick match there for Ciampa. Two running knees and a Fairy Tale Ending is all it takes. Scarlet appeared at ringside to scout out Karion Kross's competition.

Oh, Leon Ruff is back! Oh, he's fighting Tommaso Ciampa....bye, Leon.

Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan are set on taking the NXT Tag Team Titles. The Brit-Am Brawlers are connecting on a completely different level. They've had a few shots at the belts before, but this time, they think they're truly ready.

Though Regal denies it outright, he does agree to that if Velveteen Dream is unable to defeat Adam Cole for the belt at NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

We get an airing of grievances from Adam Cole via zoom, probably. He's in a meeting with William Regal and has some demands.

1) The Undisputed Era get a fair shot at the NXT Tag Team Titles.
2) Velveteen Dream never faces Adam Cole for the NXT Championship again.

Charlotte Flair defeats Io Shirai via pinfall.

Shirai hits a 619, but Greene sacrifices herself, taking the springboard dropkick from Shirai. Flair is able to roll up Shirai, and uses the ropes to secure the win.

Flair tags herself in and locks in the Figure-4, but is immediately met with a shotgun dropkick from Shirai. Shirai tags in and sends Flair into the corner via tilt-a-whirl head scissors for a running double knee to the chest.

Shirai eventually makes it to Ripley, and the former NXT Women's Champion batters Green with a series of cravate knee strikes and a basement dropkick. The electric chair facebuster nearly gets a win, but Flair breaks up the pin with a big boot.

Back from the break, Shirai avoids a chop from Flair, which inadvertently hits Green. The Queen thought quick, and baited Ripley into rushing the ring, distracting the ref as Flair and Green attacked Shirai.

Green counters a 619, sending Shirai to the floor for a suicide dive. Flair and Green tag in and out, with Shirai getting back on top following a dive to Green.

Rhea Ripley's obsession with Charlotte Flair doesn't phase her too much in her fight with Green. A back body drop and a headbutt nearly knocks her out. However, the headbutt also sends Ripley into her corner, where Io Shrai tags in.

CALLED IT!! Chelsea Green is the partner of Charlotte Flair!

It's official, Finn Balor will face Damian Priest at NXT TakeOver: In Your House!

Gotta say it's good to have this entrance back. Rhea Ripley's stomp is a whole mood.

Next up is Rhea Ripley & Io Shirai vs Charlotte Flair and a mystery partner. Anybody got any guesses? Chelsea Green is my go-to.

Raquel Gonzalez defeats Shotzi Blackheart via pinfall.

Gonzalez moves to the floor with Kai, but they can't escape a reckless dive from Blackheart. Still, thanks to a distraction from Candice LeRae, the referee was unable to see Kai stop the Sliced Bread. A massive powerbomb from Gonzalez drops Blackheart for the win.
