Ember Moon(c) vs Natalya- NXT Women's Championship Match
The story throughout this match was Natalya's fear of Ember Moon's big middle rope stunner, as she did her best to avoid the maneuver. The Queen of Harts was on the attack for most of the match, with Moon never quite getting out of the gates. It took awhile, but the War Goddess would eventually fire up, and had Natalya right where she wanted her. She went for the stunner, but the challenger got out of the way, and locked in the Sharpshooter. The vicious hold was locked in, and despite a long struggle, Ember had no choice but to tap.
Winner and the NEW NXT Women's Champion: Natalya
Authors of Pain(c) vs The Ascension- NXT Tag Team Championship Match
The previous match between these teams in Chicago wasn't very competitive, a virtual mauling, and although this one was closer, it was still quite one-sided. The Authors of Pain took the fight to The Ascension, and Konnor and Viktor simply weren't able to handle Akam and Rezar's pure power. With Paul Ellering watching on, they delivered an impressive double back superplex to retain their titles.
Winners and still NXT Tag Team Champion: Authors of Pain
Neville(c) vs Cedric Alexander- Cruiserweight Championship Match
The challenger came into this match on a hot streak, having proven himself during his time here on NXT. But as good as Cedric Alexander has looked in the past, Neville looked even better on this night. He backed up his claim as the King of the Cruiserweights, flying with ease and mixing some impressive power, including a devastating Air Raid Neckbreaker. That perfectly set up the Red Arrow, and it was a painless retention for the champ.
Winner and still Cruiserweight Champion: Neville
Hideo Itami(c) vs Adam Cole- NXT Championship Match
This was not a match for the faint at heart, as these two men went to war. It didn't take long for the blood to start flowing, and this championship match became quite ugly. The bad blood was only intensified with both Itami and Cole kicked out of their opponent's biggest moves, Hideo with a Busaiku Knee and Cole connecting with the Florida Key. For Hideo, this match was about proving he belongs as the champion, and we soon saw his more aggressive side. He opened up the cut on Cole's forehead, showing absolutely no remorse. The official even considered stopping the match at times, but neither man was willing to let that happen. In the end, an exhausted Adam Cole simply had nothing left, and the GTS was enough to put him down. Hideo Itami gets his revenge, but at what cost?
Winner and still NXT Champion: Hideo Itami
