Match

Shirai raked the back of Rhea Ripley, which ticked off Ripley. She use a few ripcord clotheslines and a dropkick to send Io to the apron. NXT went to commercial.

Back from commercial, Io Shirai had Rhea Ripley in a crossface. Ripley got out. With Ripley and Shirai on the top rope, Ripley connected with several head butts and then a super-plex for a near fall.

Shirai managed to get Ripley back in the crossface and Ripley needed to struggle to the ropes this time. After a Tiger Feint Kick, Ripley launched into the ring with a springboard dropkick. Shirai followed up with a suicide dive.

Charlotte Flairmade her way to the ringside area. Shirai sent Ripley into Flair with a hurricanrana. Back in the ring, Io hit a meteor on Ripley for a near fall. Shirai planted Ripley with a DDT.

When Charlotte Flair came in the ring kicking Shirai in the head, the referee called for the bell. I guess this is a no contest.
