Opening sequence.
Akam vs. Johnny Gargano vs. Dash Wilder
Back with the Revival nowhere to be seen (apparently they just left instead of merely backing away before the break), leaving Akam to put Gargano in a torture rack. Johnny escapes and slugs away to limited avail before the slingshot spear is good for two. Unfortunately he decides to look away for a second and turns back into a boot to the face.
Video on Aleister Black vs. Andrade Cien Almas.
Heavy Machinery vs. Jonathan Ordegen/Mike Marshall
Sanity vs. Ruby Riot/No Way Jose/Tye Dillinger/Roderick Strong is confirmed for Takeover.
Kassius Ohno vs. Elias Samson
Loser leaves NXT. They trade rollups to start before taking turns on the arm. Ohno gets the better of it, though sadly that means we have to look at his rather disturbing looking thighs. A backsplash gets two on Samson but they head to the apron where Ohno is sent into the post for a big crash onto the steps.
One last Takeover promo wraps up the show.
Results
Dash Wilder b. Johnny Gargano and Akam – Powerbomb to Gargano
Heavy Machinery b. Jonathan Ordegen/Mike Marshall – Dozovic slammed Knight onto Marshall
Kassius Ohno b. Elias Samson – Discus forearm
