Shayna Baszler (c) vs Bianca Belair - NXT Women's Championship

... but The EST of NXT takes them both down!

Bianca Belair got the advantage in the early going. Shayna Baszler would begin her onslaught and show the ruthlessness that she's displayed as champion before. Belair fought back and outpowered Baszler from the early going.

It was clear that Belair was the better athlete, but Baszler's experience helped her. She wasn't able to judge the distance. Her inexperience began to show as the referee got knocked down and Baszler couldn't get the pin.

The two other horsewomen Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir came in but Belair knocked them both down and slammed Duke onto Shafir. She missed a 450 splash and Baszler immediately locked in the Rear Naked Choke. Belair somehow fought back.

Despite this, it wasn't enough and she passed out, thus ending Belair's undefeated streak.
