Directly after the bell rang, Kushida and Raul Mendoza ran at one another. After a series of evasions with nobody getting any offense, Mendoza connected with a dropkick. Raul’s advantage would not last long as Kushida hit a tope con hilo and an enziguri to swing things back in his favor. When Kushida missed an aerial move, Mendoza followed with a twisting suplex and a moonsault for a near fall. In order to regain control, Kushida used a handspring back elbow and an arm drag-cartwheel-basement dropkick combo. From the top rope, Kushida used his Spanish fly that transitions directly into the cross arm-breaker for the submission victory.

The Broserweights defeat The Undisputed Era

O’Reilly and Dunne start the match with a bit of wrestling, but they both tag out to Bobby Fish and Matt Riddle. After Pete Dunne and Matt Riddle deliver a pair of tandem gut wrench suplexes, the Undisputed Era roll to the outside sending NXT to a commercial break.

Back from the break, O’Reilly and Riddle exchanged forearm shakes, but O’relly knocked Riddle off the apron and Bobby Fish hit a number of strikes. After rolling Riddle back in the ring, the Undisputed Era continued the knee strikes first in the corner and then in the center of the ring. When O’Reilly got bored with knee strikes, he started using forearms. Bobby Fish used a snap suplex to gain a near fall. The Undisputed Era used a double team suplex on Riddle while continuing the knee strikes.

Riddle escaped and got a hot tag off to Pete Dunne. After stomping the fingers of Fish, he kicked him right in the face. Dunne then locked in a triangle submission, but the Undisputed Era pulled O’Reilly out of the ring. After Riddle hit a tope con hilo off Dunne’s back, Matt tossed both Strong and Cole into the ring and Dunne feigned a superkick from Cole. When the referee observed Dunne on the ground, he ejected both Cole and Strong from the ringside area. This sent NXT to another commercial.

When NXT came back from commercial, the Undisputed Era had the advantage over Dunne. After Dunne tagged Ridle into the match, he went crazy hitting forearms, exploder suplexes, and sentons on both men. Undisputed Era went for tandem Germans, but both Riddle and Dunne flipped through and hit roundhouse kicks.

The Undisputed Era knocked Dunne over the barricade and attempted to finish off Riddle. Matt Riddle managed to evade their tandem offense hitting both men with a spear. GYV came down to the ring and interfered to very nearly give the Undisputed Era the victory. Once Riddle and Dunne took care of GYV, they finished off O’Reilly for the pinfall victory
