Kai put her feet up when Nox went for the cannon-boar and sent Nox into he side of the cage as NXT went to commercial. Back from commercial, Nox tossed Kai into three of the four sides of the cage. Tegan Nox then hit a fall away slam with a bridge for a two count.

                    Nox had her eye on the cage, but Kai stopped her and hit the Kai-ropractor for a near fall. Back on their feet, Nox swung with a head butt that sent both women to the mat. Kai chased Nox up the cage, and Nox choke-slammed her off the ropes. When Tegan turned to climb out, Kai snatched her off the cage and resumed the advantage for a few moments. They followed each other into the corners hitting kicks and cannonballs.

                    Attempting to escape, Gonzales stood on the outside, so Nox turned and hit a high cross body from the top of the cage. As Nox attempted to leave through the door, Gonzales held the door shut. When Kai tried to kick Nox, Tegan moved and Kai hit the door into the face of Gonzales. After the shiniest wizard, Kai somehow kicked out.

                    The ending sequence came when Gonzales pinched Nox between the door and the cage allowing Kai to escape.

                    With Bobby Fish as the legal man, the Undisputed Era started teeing off in the corner. Kyle O’Reilly hit a number of slaps and kick strikes and Fish continued the effort. Kyle O’Reilly used a side suplex to prevent Burch from getting the tag, but Burch eventually got the tag to Lorcan.

                    Oney hit a half and half suplex, a running block buster, and a dive to secure the advantage. As Lorcan ran from corner to corner, Burch and Fish ran out and hit their finisher for the pinfall victory.
