Commentators: Tom Phillips, Corey Graves
Opening sequence.
Elias Samson vs. Johnny Gargano
Samson lays Gargano out with the neckbreaker post match and sends him into the post for good measure. He loads up another neckbreaker on the ramp but Apollo Crews comes out for the save.
Takeover video.
Rich Swann vs. Finn Balor
Sarah Dobson vs. Alexa Bliss
Bliss is back in the old pink attire. Dobson takes her into the corner to start but misses a charge to give Bliss a quick two. We hit an armbar on Dobson as the announcers argue over how big a star Bliss really is. Bliss misses a charge in the corner and Dobson gets two off a high cross body. This brings Blake and Murphy to the apron for a distraction and cheap shot, setting up the Sparkle Splash to give Bliss the pin at 4:12.
Samoa Joe has nothing to say.
Bull Dempsey vs. Danny Burch
Video on the awesomeness that is American Alpha with the two of them talking about their paths through the amateur ranks towards NXT. None of that matters unless they win the NXT Tag Team Titles though.
Jose No Way is coming.
Emma vs. Asuka
Emma actually takes over with a headlock to start but Asuka reverses into one of her own. A jumping cross armbreaker has Emma in major trouble and the flying hip attack gets two for Asuka as we take a break. Back with Asuka working on a hammerlock until she gets bored and switches over to an ankle lock.
Results
Johnny Gargano b. Elias Samson – Rollup
Finn Balor b. Rich Swann – Bloody Sunday
Alexa Bliss b. Sarah Dobson – Sparkle Splash
Asuka b. Emma – Asuka Lock
