Emma and Alexa Bliss vs Bayley and Sasha Banks
William Regal made a major announcement when he informed us that these four would meet in a fatal four way match at TakeOver: London for Emma's NXT Women's Title. With such high stakes coming up on Sunday, this match was very, very tense. Both Alexa and Sasha were looking to prove they belonged in a big championship match, trading innovative offense. Emma tried her best to stay out of the match, and looked pissed when Alexa, her protege, tagged her in. An obviously distracted Emma was caught with a Bayley to Belly to give Bayley and Sasha a big win. They'll be opponents on Sunday, but for tonight, they celebrated a big win.
Winners: Bayley and Sasha Banks
Pentagon Dark vs Curtis Axel
Axel may be the son of Mr. Perfect, but there was nothing perfect about this performance. It was another dominant win for Pentagon Dark, who won with a Fear Factor.
After the match, Pentagon looked to send another sacrifice to his master when he was interrupted by a dark form. The Vigilante, Sting! Sting, who's arm was snapped by Pentagon, returned to take down the Breaker of Bones, sending him scampering. Sting then announced that he had asked for and received a match for TakeOver: London. It will be Sting vs Pentagon Dark in a No Holds Barred Match, and should Sting come out victorious, Pentagon Dark must reveal the identity of his master.
Winner: Pentagon Dark
Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe vs Gallows and Anderson
The question was whether or not Joe and Bryan could get along as tag partners. Although it started fine, the two quickly got into an argument on who could make pinfalls, and it quickly spiraled out of control. Gallows and Anderson controlled the match, and Bryan, on the apron, got frustrated, yelling at Joe to make the tag. Joe technically did, slapping Bryan in the face, which apparently counted as a tag. The two got into another argument, and Anderson capitalized, rolling up Bryan for the win.
After the match, Bryan and Joe began brawling, bringing referees out to try and break them up. They weren't very successful, but one man was...the NXT Champion, Bad News Barrett, who served out two Bull Hammers, taking out his challengers. He then addressed NXT GM William Regal, the leader of the United Kingdom. Barrett may not like Regal's decision to give him a tougher task to retain at TakeOver: London, but he understands it. He will be walking out victorious, and serving up Bad News to anyone that tries to stop him.
Winners: Gallows and Anderson
I've thought long and hard about this decision, and I think I've made the right call. So I'm sorry to announce that NXT TakeOver: London, this Sunday the 30th, will be the final event in NXT history. I will detail soon why this is happening, just know that I had a good reason for doing this. I hope you can understand.

Bad News Barrett(c) vs Samoa Joe vs Daniel Bryan- NXT Championship Match
Neville(c) vs Sami Zayn- European Title Match
