Match

Blackheart got a lot of offense in on Raquel Gonzalez, but Dakota Kai tagged in. Nox and Blackheart tagged in and out maintaining the advantage for the first part of the match. Blackheart dove to the outside to send NXT to commercial. During the commercial, Raquel Gonzalez swept the legs of Shotzi on the apron giving her team the upper hand. Nox hit every strike in the book, but only got Gonzalez down to a knee. When Nox came off the top rope, Raquel caught her and hit a fall way slam.

Raquel ended up hitting a one arm power bomb to secure the pinfall victory.
