Aleister Black cut a promo on Tommaso Ciampa, stating that at NXT TakeOver: Phoenix, he'd be leaving with the NXT Championship around his waist where it rightfully belonged.
Bianca Belair went out to the ring to cut a promo. Belair said it was her time, and after sending Nikki Cross packing last week, the Est. of NXT was ready to become the next NXT Women's Champion.
Belair said that regardless of the Horsewomen, Baszler won't end her undefeated streak. At this moment, Baszler, along with Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir made their way down to the ring.

Baszler claimed that she didn't understand the hype surrounding Belair, and said though she might be the fastest or strongest, she wasn't the smartest. At TakeOver: Phoenix, Baszler would tear her arms off.
Baszler then said Belair was like everyone else, and said that she was afraid of getting her arm broken or, even worse, her hype silenced. Baszler said that she would change her definition from Un-de-fea-ted to O-ver-rate-d.
Baszler was struck down by a slap from Belair and avoided Duke & Shafir, escaping before she could be overrun by the Horsewomen.
