Match

The match begins in a feeling out process and some chain wrestling. With Fantasma on the outside, Tozawa hit a hurricanrana off the apron. Tozawa hit a somersault senton into the barricade as NXT went to commercial.

When NXT returned, Fantasma took over hitting a frog splash dive off the steps onto the apron. Fantasma came back in the ring with a senton atomico. Tozawa made a comeback with a German suplex. When Tozawa climbed to the top rope, Fantasma stopped him. Fantasma stood on the second rope with Tozawa in a fireman’s carry, and he dropped Tozawa down over the top turnbuckle.

Akira Tozawa evaded a clothesline and hit a bulldog and then his top rope senton, but Fantasma rolled to the outside. By the time Tozawa got Fantasma back in the ring, he could only get a two count.

Fantasma drop kicked Tozawa to the outside and then followed up with a suicide dive. After hitting the phantom driver, Fantasma got the pinfall victory.
