Io Shirai vs Kayden Carter

Io Shirai landed on her feet after a running hurricanrana from Carter. Carter managed to roll her up for a near fall, however, leading to a bottom rope springboard dropkick that sent Shirai outside. Carter tried to follow up with a kick on the apron but was caught and dropped on her face instead.

A springboard dropkick from the apron earned Shirai a two-count. Carter rebounded with a crucifix pin attempt. Shirai blocked but was caught in a victory roll that led to a superkick. Another victory roll was blocked, with Shirai taking her overhead with a German suplex.

The top rope moonsault finished off Carter.

Results: Io Shirai defeated Kayden Carter via pinfall.

After the match, Io Shirai tried to force herself into the NXT Women's Championship picture. "Not Rhea, not Bianca," was enough to drag out the former NXT UK Women's Champion. Ripley said after Bianca Belair talked trash about her last week, she'll be shutting her up on the next NXT episode.

However, if Shirai ever speaks her name again, Ripley is ready to silence her as well. Shirai backed up the ramp as Ripley stood the ring, staring into the soul of the Genius of the Sky.


After Killian Dain demolished Boa last week, the fast paced striker is now set to take on the Beast of Belfast.

William Regal revealed to Cathy Kelly that Velveteen Dream will not be able to challenge for the North American Championship next week due to the injuries he suffered earlier tonight. However, Roderick Strong will still defend the North American Championship, and his new #1 contender will be the winner of Dominik Dijakovic and Keith Lee, which takes place next!
