Johnny Gargano vs Adam Cole - 2-out-of-3 Falls match for the vacant NXT Championship

Bianca Belair takes both Sane and Shirai on her shoulders and slams them down together. Baszler immediately locks her in the kirafuda clutch and that's all there is to it.

Shayna Baszler (c) def. Bianca Belair, Io Shirai and Kairi Sane to retain the NXT Women's Championship

Belair counters and slams Baszler and then has Io Shirai right behind her. Shirai counters her powerslam into a facebuster and Shirai hits a series of moonsaults. She tries to get the pin but Sane breaks the pin up. Sane takes her out and then lands the Insane elbow herself, only for Shirai to break it up.

Though they're surprised that they're costing each other, they continue to battle it out. Sane goes for the Insane elbow but Belair whips her mid-turnbuckle!

Baszler THROWS Sane onto Belair on the outside and takes out Shirai. She then brings Belair back in and Shayna Baszler has her back, with the kirafuda clutch locked in!

The Sky Pirates ambush Belair, who's been talking trash about the duo. They take turns to strike, and Baszler catches Sane's legs from underneath when she charges against the ropes

Belair and Baszler are on the top turnbuckle and Shirai and Sane hit the tower of doom! With the two of them outside, Shirai throws Sane onto them. The action quickly goes inside and the women begin to take each other out

Shirai tries to splash on Belair but gets caught. Belair hits Sane WITH Shirai!

Belair uses her athleticism to counter Baszler and takes the champ down with a dropkick. Kairi Sane climsb the turnbuckle and elbows Belair. She's not taking anything from Belair and she slaps her chest. Io Shirai climbs the rope and jumps over Sane, who's thrown against her.

The Sky Pirates start going at it against each other but they aren't able to put each other down. They run the ropes and the other two pull their legs from underneath. Baszler uses Belair's hair and Irish whips her.
