- Jacy Jayne defeated Indi Hartwell via DQ following interference from Gigi Dolin. After a whiplash into the corner, Jayne downed Indi with a big boot.

- Bron Breakker (c) defeated Jinder Mahal (with Veer Mahaan and Sanga of Indus Sher) to retain WWE NXT Championship in the main event match.

After a big boot, Mahal set Bron up for the Cobra Clutch slam finisher, but Bron escaped the hold to connect with the Sudden Impact to secure the pin-fall win. After the match, Carmelo Hayes came out and stared down Bron from the ramp.
