Ember Moon vs. Ruby Riot

They gave this match a lot of time and it was very evenly matched. Towards the end, Ruby Riot hit a top rope Frankensteiner, but Ember kicked out. Soon after, Ember blocked a kick and regained control, then nailed her top rope stunner, The Eclipse, for the win.

Winner: Ember Moon

Earlier Today: Kassius Ohno and Hideo Itami

It was announced that next week, Kassius Ohno would take on Hideo Itami. Earlier today, Kassius Ohno was being interviewed and Itami came in and asked him if he asked for the match next week. Ohno said that he told him that he was going to take action and he did. Ohno said something in Japanese, kicked a garbage bin, and stormed out.

Promo: Street Profits

Another Street Profits promo aired, with them on “Snapchat” not really saying or doing anything.

Oney Lorcan vs. Danny Burch

Another even match. Danny Burch’s nose was busted open at some point. About 4 minutes in, Burch went for an exploder suplex off the middle rope, but Lorcan fought him off and knocked him down. Burch ran at Lorcan, but Lorcan rolled through into a Boston half crap and Burch tapped out.

Winner: Oney Lorcan

After the match, Lorcan and Burch shook hands in a show of respect. Burch said “one more time” and Lorcan agreed.

No Way Jose vs. Cezar Bononi

This was a really short 2-3 minute match. Jose eventually hit a flurry of offense, then tossed Bononi into the air and hit him with a punch for the win…

Winner: No Way Jose

After the match, as Jose walked back down the entranceway, Andrade “Cien” Almas and the mystery woman showed up together at ringside. Almas went into the ring and attacked Bononi, then signaled for Jose to come back to the ring. Jose ran back down, but Almas rolled out, then escaped through the crowd.

#1 Contender Match
Drew McIntyre vs. Killian Dain

The winner of this match would face Bobby Roode for the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III. About 10 minutes in, Drew McIntyre hit his “Future Shock” DDT, but Dain kicked out at 1. McIntyre then nailed him with “the Claymore,” a running single-leg dropkick to the face, but Dain immediately got up. McIntyre looked shocked, then hit him with another Claymore and picked up the win to become the #1 contender.

Winner: Drew McIntyre
