Match

LeRae, Yim, and Nox teamed up to take out Dakota Kai in the early part of the match. When NXT returned from commercial, Tegan Nox and Dakota Kai renewed their rivalry. Io Shirai climbed the ladder, but Raquel Gonzalez jumped in the ring and tipped the ladder over. Shirai leaped from the falling ladder and hit a cross body on three of the women standing on the floor. NXT went back to commercial.

Back from the break Raquel Gonzales was working over several of the competitors. Gonzales rolled Dakota Kai and carried her up the ladder, but Yim yanked Gonzales off the ladder and eventually did a sit-down power bomb from the turnbuckle through a table. Dakota Kai then kicked Nox off the turnbuckle through a ladder.

Io Shirai and Candice LeRae scaled the ladder, but Shirai pushed Candice off the ladder and got the briefcase.
