Backstage Segment

We were shown footage from outside the arena of Tegan Nox and Rhea Ripley found on the ground, having been attacked. No one knows who did it.

Xia Li vs Aliyah (accompanied by Vanessa Borne)

The two met again for a women’s singles exhibition (their first on the USA debut). The two started off to a quick exchange, showcasing both competitors well. Li got some good displays of striking and power moves before a spot where Vanessa Borne tried to pull out Aliyah but instead is pulled in.

Li barely lost any momentum in the match or control. The biggest Aliyah offense move was when Aliyah was on the outside of the ring ropes. The ref was not paying attention, and, when Li approaches the ropes, Aliyah grabbed her hand and dropped to the outside. Luckily, Li was able to bounce back from any set back and easily regain control.

Eventually, Li won with a devastating Roundhouse Kick to the face. During her celebration, a medic runs out from the back to treat Aliyah, who is bleeding from the kick.

No much to report with this match, as it was a glorified squash match.

Rating: 2 stars

In-Ring Promo

Finn Balor walked out to the ring to address the NXT Universe. He talked about how NXT is changed from when he was there, and he is extremely disappointed. Balor hates that Gargano is considered the “Heart of NXT.” He hates how the wrestlers in NXT complain about being hurt or don’t suck it up and fight. He insulted Matt Riddle, saying he wasn’t here tonight. To his surprise, the Original Bro attacks him from behind.

The two got into a brawl, which led to Balor escaping through the audience. Riddle grabbed a mic and claimed he is here.

The Undisputed Era came out to the ring saying “Wrong Place, Wrong time,” proceeding to surround the ring and Riddle.  Before they are able to attack him, Tomasso Ciampa and Keith Lee ran out to back up the OB. The two groups of men exchanged some words, which was delightful because Keith Lee got some great mic time. Lee called out Adam Cole for a fight. Roderick Strong defended Cole, claiming he needs a night off after his work on SmackDown. Instead, Strong challenged Lee, who gladly accepted.
