– No Way Jose defeated Kona Reeves

There was a big pop for Jose and he pumped up the crowd. Reeves got big heat as well. Jose danced throughout the match, eventually winning with his pop-up punch finisher.

– Ruby Riot & Lacey Evans defeated Mandy Rose & Bianca Blair

Both of the faces got pops, but the heels got surprisingly little reaction. Evans was impressive with her moves and showed character.

– Kassius Ohno defeated Oney Lorcan

This was the match of the night. It was a physical back-and-forth match with a few close near falls. Ohno ended up winning with an elbow strike, and both wrestlers got good pops.

– DIY defeated Tino Sabbatelli & Riddick Moss

Sabbatelli and Moss cut a good heel promo on the city before this started. All four showed off at the start and they had a good match from beginning to end. DIY won with their finisher.

– Drew McIntyre defeated Patrick Clark

McIntyre got a good reaction, while Clark didn’t really get much. This was another stiff match with chops and kicks. McIntyre won with a Claymore kick.

– NXT Women’s Champion Asuka defeated Sonya Deville to retain her title

The fans were very into Asuka. They had an MMA type of match with many submissions and kicks. It lasted seven minutes, with Asuka winning with a running kick.

– Tye Dillinger & Hideo Itami defeated NXT Champion Bobby Roode & Andrade “Cien” Almas

Dillinger got one of the biggest pops of the night, with it maybe only being surpassed by the crowd singing Roode’s theme. It started with Dillinger and Roode doing their signature taunts. Roode tried to get heat by telling the crowd to shut up, but he ended up getting a pop for it.

This was a solid match. Dillinger and Itami hit their finishers and Itami pinned Almas.

Dillinger said after the match that as far as he knows this was his last night in NXT. He gave a farewell speech. The crowd chanted “US champ” at one point and he called out Kevin Owens. The whole roster that was there came out to give him a curtain call to end the show.
