NXT Women's Title Match: Ember Moon vs Shayna Baszler

Ronda Rousey and Jessamyn Duke, two of the other Four Horsewomen, are cheering Shayna on in the crowd.  Ember tries to get a jump start on Shayna, but Shayna cleans her clock with a big right hand that knocks her to the floor.  Ember catches Shayna with an enziguiri and rams her into the stairs, then rolls her back into the ring and covers for 2.  Ember gets a crippler crossface, but Shayna easily rolls to the ropes and back out to the floor.  Ember goes for a charging punt across the apron, but Shayna catches her foot and drops her on her face.  Shayna picks her up and says, "Come on, hero!" before ramming Ember into the barricade.  Shayna gets a 1 count back in the ring, then she hits a charging kneestrike in the corner followed by a gutwrench suplex and a kick to the back for 2.  Shayna gets a modified bow and arrow on Ember, and Ember uses a leaping roll to escape, followed by a cartwheel palmstrike.  Shayna counters another attempt with a leaping kneestrike, and Ember gets a rollup for 2, but Shayna connects with another vicious kneestrike for 2.  Moon gets a weak dropkick for 2, but Shayna transitions right into the choke on the kickout.  Moon backs to the corner, but Shayna hangs onto her back, and Ember ends up dropping straight back onto Shayna to finally break the hold.  Ember dodges a charging knee in the corner and unloads with kicks and a running dropkick.  Ember with a head and arm suplex, followed by a sliding flatliner for 2.  Shayna ducks a springboard crossbody, stands on Ember's hand, but misses the stomp on the elbow.  Ember sweeps Shayna's legs and now she sets up for the elbow stomp, and she connects.  Shayna is hurt, and ember snaps down on the arm and cradles Shayna up for 2.  Ember unloads with kicks as Shayna is showing the pain on her face in a big way.  Ember goes up for the Eclipse, but Shayna knocks the ropes to trip Ember up and unloads with a flurry of kicks to Ember's back.  Shayna shoves the referee off when he tries to check on her, and she goes to the apron and rams her own arm into the ringpost to pop her arm back in, then does it again.  Her arm is back in the socket now, but Ember got enough time to rest that she's able to kick Shayna to the floor and hit an Eclipse on the outside.  Both ladies are down on the outside, and the referee counts, but both women beat the count.  Ember goes to pick her up, but Shayna rolls Ember right into the choke.  Ember snaps Shayna's arm to get out, but Shayna catches Ember in a triangle choke.  Ember picks Shayna up and powerbombs her for 2.  Ember goes to the top and goes for the Eclipse, but Shayna catches her on the way down and gets Ember in the choke again.  Ember tries to break the grip again, but Shayna is holding her own hair to keep the hold locked in.  Ember tries to get to the ropes, but Shayna pulls her back and Ember fights and fights, tries to roll out again, tries to snap Shayna's arm again, tries to roll Shayna onto her back for a pin, but nothing is working this time around.  She fades out, the referee calls for the bell, and we have a new champion!

Winner and New NXT Women's Champion: Shayna Baszler

Awesome, awesome match!  Shayna was awesome at all the little things, and they showed a lot of ingenuity with some of the spots they pulled out in this match.  These two are on another level.  Shayna goes to give Ronda and Jessamyn a hug after being handed the belt.

Adam Cole is getting checked up on by the trainer backstage, and apparently his knee is banged up and he tells Kyle O'Reilly that he's not sure he can do it.

Aleister Black is backstage getting warmed up for his title shot later on tonight.

Dusty Rhodes Classic Finals/NXT Tag Team Title Match: Authors of Pain vs Undisputed Era vs Roderick Strong & Pete Dunne

We see Dustin Rhodes and Jeff Jarrett in the crowd watching as the participants come to the ring.  Cole has a wrap around his ribs and looks like he's seen better days.  Bell rings, and all six men go at it in an all out melee.  AoP quickly hits a neckbreaker/powerbomb combo on O'Reilly for 2, then they take Cole to the floor and give him a double chokeslam through the broadcast table.  O'Reilly comes out of nowhere with a flying knee off the apron to Rezar, then he knocks Strong silly in the ring.  Dunne gets him in an armbar, O'Reilly counters to one of his own, and he unloads with a series of kicks and elbows on Dunne.  Strong with a stiff backbreaker to O'Reilly, then takes out both members of the AoP before giving O'Reilly a half nelson backbreaker for 2.  O'Reilly catches Strong in a front guillotine, then transitions that into a triangle choke.  Akam comes in to stomp O'Reilly, but he catches the ankle and puts him in an anklelock until Rezar powerbombs Dunne onto O'Reilly to break the whole thing up.  We finally get this under control as the AoP trap Strong in their corner and tag in and out on him, and Rezar suplexes Roderick into next week, but O'Reilly comes in and unloads on Rezar with another flurry until Rezar nearly breaks him in half with a release German suplex.  We see Cole still laid out on the floor as the AoP continues to double team Strong in the ring, and O'Reilly comes in and again jumps on the AoP.  They shrug him right back off, and Strong tries to make a break for Dunne, and finally makes the hot tag.  Dunne comes in and unloads on Akam with a flurry of strikes, drills O'Reilly with a stiff kick, and gets a swinging flatliner on Rezar for 2.  O'Reilly and Dunne go strike for strike until Akam plows through both of them with a double clothesline.  AoP hits the Supercollider and set O'Reilly up and hit the Last Chapter, but Strong breaks the pinfall up at the last minute.  He knocks Akam to the floor, but Dunne snaps Rezar's fingers.  Strong is in and Rezar shoves him into Dunne and knocks Dunne to the floor, but Strong pops right back up and hits an Olympic Slam for 2.  Strong tags Dunne in, and O'Reilly tries to grab him from the floor, but Strong gives him a suplex on the apron, Dunne top rope double stomps him, then Dunne and Strong with a series of hard strikes on Rezar and hit their double team finish, but Akam breaks up the pin at 2.  Strong misses a diving kick to the floor, but rams Akam into the steps as Dunne hits the Bitter End on O'Reilly...and suddenly Strong comes in and turns on Dunne, hits Heartache, and puts O'Reilly on top of him for the win!

Winners: Kyle O'Reilly & Adam Cole

Well, I didn't see THAT coming!  Strong looks pleased as punch with himself, and the Undisputed Era can't believe their luck.  Strong grabs Cole...and pulls his armband off and puts it on, and it looks like we have a new member of the Undisputed Era!  Bobby Fish comes out and all four of them celebrate together at the top of the ramp.
