SAnitY come out first for the 8 man tag-team match. Earlier today, No Way Jose was attacked earlier today and won’t be competing, so his teammates need to find a new partner or have a handicap match. Tye Dillinger is out first for his team, to a huge pop. He awaits his partners on the ramp. Ruby Riot is out next, followed by Roderick Strong. And we wait to see who, if anyone, has agreed to partner with them….
SAnitY Vs. Tye Dillinger, Roderick Strong, Ruby Riot & Kassius Ohno
The babyfaces storm the ring and a huge brawl breaks out immediately! Ohno hits a big spin kick to Killian Dain, helping clear the ring. The bell rings and Ruby Riot starts the match with Nikki Cross.
Nikki grabs Ruby by her hair and throws her across the ring. Ruby leaps over Nikki and uses her feet to slam her face-first into the turnbuckle. Nikki tags Wolfe into the match, forcing Ruby to make a tag. Ohno enters the match and watches as Wolfe jumps around kicking the air, then Ohno elbows him in the mouth to the love of the crowd. Ohno takes control of Wolfe, targeting his wrist.
Wolfe blindsides Ohno and tags in Eric Young. Eric Young screams at Tye Dillinger while working on Ohno. Young lands a few well-measured blows in the corner before tagging Alexander Wolfe back in. Ohno tags in Roderick Strong who takes out every member of SAnitY and gets the crowd fired-up. Strong gets caught in a German suplex by Wolfe. Killian Dain tags in and beats Strong around the ring like a ragdoll.
Yeah… this is NOT the kind of guy you want to pick a fight with… @KillianDain #NXTTakeOver pic.twitter.com/ArPuuKbsWk
