1. Peyton Royce vs. Ember Moon
- This was Moon’s first match back from a shoulder injury that kept her for challenging for the title at Takeover.
- She was on offence when Peyton changed the tide by ramming her shoulder into the post.
- Moon battled back and took out Kay on the outside before beating Royce with the Eclipse.
Winner: Ember Moon
2. Eric Young and Alexander Wolfe (Sanity) vs. the Ealy Brothers
- No highlights of this match were posted.
- While the Ealy brothers would get in a fair amount of offence, this was mainly a showcase match for Sanity.
- Perhaps Young and Wolfe will be forming a tag team for the foreseeable future.
Winners: Sanity
3. Sonya Deville vs. Rachel Evers
- Deville wrestles a very MMA based style, and this was evident here.
- All of her striking is MMA focussed, and she won with a wrist-lock type submission.
- Deville looks to be in line for a push in the NXT women’s division.
Winner: Sonya Deville
Bobby Roode and Roderick Strong Backstage Incident
- Roode was doing a photo shoot when he started taunting Strong and his family who were passing through the area, leading to a fight.
4. Aleister Black vs. Kassius Ohno
- This was an excellent back-and-forth match between two guys looking to move closer to an NXT title shot.
- Ohno had gained the advantage with a flipping face-first suplex, but as he charged forward to deliver the discus forearm, Black counted with the Fade to Black roundhouse kick, and pinned him.
Winner: Aleister Black
