EC3 vs Fabian Aichner

Johnny Gargano flustered EC3 with his appearance out of nowhere

EC3 and Fabian Aichner went at it outside the ring early on, and surprisingly, Johnny Gargano walked right past them and went to the announce table, announcing that Gargano vs Ciampa would take place at Takeover: Chicago in a Streetfight, lifting the contract.

He walked right away and EC3 seemed a bit surprised and flustered. The agile Aichner took advantage and jumped on him to the outside from the top turnbuckle. He failed to capitalise and EC3 finished him right after with the one percenter.

Ricochet vs Chris Dijak

Chris Dijak made an excellent first impression

Former ROH star Donovan Dijak made his debut as Chris Dijak. This was the debut of the 6ft8 behemoth.

Ricochet used his agility to strike and knock Dijak down. Dijak caught Ricochet when he went for a suicide die and shockingly hit a springboard elbow drop on The One and Only Ricochet. He went for a moonsault but missed, leading Ricochet to take advantage. He showed an incredible feat of strength with a suplex to the tower of a human being. A 630 splash led to a win for Ricochet.

Short but incredible match from these two competitors. Hopefully, they have another match that's longer.

After the match, Ricochet cut a promo on The Velveteen Dream, praising him and calling him a punk. Dream interfered and said that last week he proved that anything Ricochet can do, he can do it better.

Ricochet called him out for being a coward and standing across the ramp. Dream said that there needed to be a spotlight for both of them, and said he'll see him in Chicago. He reiterated that anything Ricochet could do, he could do better.

Ricochet jumped out of the ring out of nowhere and landed in superhero fashion. He stood in front of Dream, raised his hands and said "show me". Dream walked away, looking surprised.

Shayna Baszler vs Dakota Kai - NXT Women's Championship

Was Dakota Kai able to face her biggest fear head on?

Dakoti Kai did not seem confident, with all the mind games from Baszler. The champion continued to play mind games and establish her dominance. Baszler mercilessly attacked the left leg of Dakota Kai, her biggest strength.

The champion would do nothing but work on her left leg, seemingly trying to snap it in half. The crowd rallied behind Kai and it seemed to give her enough adrenalin to land an enziguri on Baszler before she made a comeback. She hit her with a series of kicks and even hit two Kaio-Kicks to Baszler. The champion caught her when Kai was ready to finish things and countered into a sleeper hold, forcing the resilient challenger to tap.

Shayna Baszler defeated Dakota Kai to retain the NXT Women's Championship

After the match, Baszler put another sleeper hold on Dakota Kai, but Nikki Cross interfered and cornered the champion. Baszler walked away, but Cross was having none of it. She ran to the ramp and snatched the title from the champ, placing it in the middle of the ring, inviting the champion. Baszler entered the ring to reclaim her title, but when she went to pick it up, Cross snatched it again and challenge her.

Nikki Cross told Dakota Kai that she was the referee. Kai was confused and Baszler went to her but Cross took advantage and hit her with the purge. Dakota Kai counted to three and Cross seemed to think that she won the title. She went with the fans to celebrate, even though it was perfectly clear that she was and is not in fact, the NXT Women's Championship.

The show ended with Cross standing tall at the ramp with the title while Baszler looked on, distraught.
