Episode summary[]
Johnny Gargano vs Ridge Holland[]
The Johnny Gargano Way may still lead to a second North American Championship reign. Gargano used his signature craftiness to overcome the much larger Ridge Holland, surviving a nasty head-first collision earlier in the match to defeat the hulking Englishman after hitting the One Final Beat DDT.
Dakota Kai vs Jessi Kamea[]
Io Shirai may be in her final days as NXT Women's Champion if tonight's events were any indication. Dakota Kai pinned Jessi Kamea in singles action after blasting her with the Go To Kick, then wasted no time calling out Shirai. The Genius of the Sky overwhelmed the No. 1 Contender initially until Raquel González emerged from the shadows to floor the champion with a massive boot to the face. The Captain of Team Kick and her enforcer stood tall, leaving Shirai in a heap days before their title match at NXT TakeOver: XXX.
Rhea Ripley & Shotzi Blackheart vs Mercedes Martinez & Aliyah[]
Rhea Ripley had been wanting to get her hands on Mercedes Martinez for costing her a chance to once again become NXT Women's Champion, and she got exactly what she wanted. Ripley laid out The Robert Stone Brand's newest signee with a vicious powerbomb over the barricade to the concrete, while Shotzi Blackheart connected with a top-rope senton on Aliyah inside the ring to pick up the win.
