Opening Segment

Rhea Ripley came out. She got “You deserve it chants.” Rhea started talking about memories like becoming the NXT Women’s Champion. Then Toni Storm came out. That’s a nice surprise.

Toni congratulated her Rhea, but she reminded her of how she beat her twice. Storm said that she’s going to become NXT UK Women’s Champion at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II. Then at Worlds Collide she’ll become double champion. Then Rhea Ripley accepted before Kay Lee Ray came out.

Ray said there’s no way Toni is taking the title at TakeOver Blackpool. Then Io Shirai came out. Io spoke in Japanese, pointed at the title and said: “Mine.”

Bianca Belair came out next. She got some “EST”chants. She said that she’s better than you, you, and then pointed to Toni and said, “you don’t even go here.” Nice Mean Girls reference. Out next was Candice LeRae.

Then Rhea Ripley started punching people. Everyone scattered with Toni, Candice, and Rhea left in the ring. Then they started a six woman tag match.

Candice started out with a dive to take out the heels. Then they went to commercial.

When we came back, Candice and Kay Lee Ray were in the ring. LeRae went for a dive, but Ray kicked her on the way down. After that, Candice started taking abuse and selling. Io tagged in next to apply more pressure on her.

Candice tried to fight back, but the heels kept avoiding her attempts at offense as they tagged in and out. LeRae got close, but they kept stopping her. She took a nice swanton bomb from Ray. Rhea came in and hit a couple dropkicks. LeRae kicked Io and then everyone was down.

Commercial break.

Candice hit a Poisonrana and created some separation before finally tagging Toni Storm who started to rally on Ray with a suplex and a sliding forearm for a two count.

Io tagged in and hit running double knees in the corner and a butterfly backbreaker. Then Belair tagged herself in and Io hit her with a missile dropkick to screw over her own team.

Ripley nailed Belair with a running big boot, some knee strikes, a dropkick, and a Riptide for the win.

Winners: Rhea Ripley, Toni Storm, & Candice LeRae

Candice took some time handing Ripley the title before they all celebrated.

Forgotten Sons vs Imperium

These two team started off strong. Blake nailed a DDT before Aichner and Cutler went at it. Then Cutler hit a butterfly backbreaker and got a two count before transitioning right into a Boston Crab.

They continued with fast-paced action and Blake made a blind tag as Cutler was sent out of the ring. Blake hit a lariat on Barthel and then Barthel got his knees up on a moonsault off the ropes. This was one move after another very quickly.

Finally, Imperium got the pinfall after a double team move.

Undisputed Era vs Gallus

Wolfgang started out by charging both Fish & O’Reilly to take them down and start on the offensive. He continue to fight Kyle before Coffey took the tag. Then Fish took the tag and delivered a knee strike to turn things around for himself.

Coffey tossed Fish across the ring and hit a back bodydrop on Fish. Then Gallus used a doubleteam monkey flip to send Fish into the corner. Wofie continued to abuse Fish until Undisputed Era distracted Wolfgang giving an opening for Fish to tag O’Reilly and maintain control.

Mark Coffey tagged back in and hit a bodyslam before continuing the abuse on O’Reilly. Wolfgang tagged in and hit a flying senton for a two count. Then Undisputed Era was knocked off the apron as they had a stand-off before going to commercial.

When we came back from commercial, Undisputed Era was isolating Wofie. They hit a double kick for a two count. Fish continued to work on Wolfgang until he was able to come back with a slam, but O’Reilly jumped in to stop Wofie from getting to Coffey.

Then Coffey finally got the tag. He hit a running uppercut on O’Reilly and a double ax handle to the chest before slamming O’Reilly down for a two count.

Fish took the tag and they nailed a double kick for a two count. Undisputed Era hit some tandem running strikes and kicks before Coffey blocked one and nailed a suplex. He tagged in Wolfgang who hit catapult into a Samoan Drop for a two count.

Coffey hit a dive to the outside on the Undisputed Era. Cole distracted Wolfie and then they got the win with their Chasing The Dragon finisher.

Winners: Undisputed Era

Johnny Gargano

He came out and said he’s been waiting a long time to get a live mic so he can talk about Finn Balor. He’s not wanting to take anything away from what he did to him. He put Johnny TakeOver out for three months. That is in the past and your future is your past and Finn’s future is standing in the ring because he didn’t finish the job on the ramp.

Gargano talked trash about Finn Balor making a jump to the main roster, but Gargano stayed because “when I say I love this place I actually mean it.”

Johnny said he picked NXT up where Balor dropped it and he flew it to freaking outer space and “we took this place to new heights without you.” He said they left Finn behind and it eats him alive that they didn’t need him to succeed.

The Finn Balor came out and called him “Johnny Promo” because that’s all the doctors will clear him for. Balor said that he’ll wipe that smile off Gargano’s face and then he called him a rat and said he’s soft. He said to quit crying about missing TakeOver. Go talk to Regal and get a match at TakeOver Portland. “If you make it that far.”

Mia Yim vs Kayden Carter

Carter tried to hit a dropkick, but Mia Yim avoided it. Then Mia shot Carter off the ropes and Carter tried to use a crucifix to get a pin, but it didn’t work.

Carter used some springboard moves to get an armdrag for a two count. Then Mia Yim took control with some kicks and a dropkick for a two count.

Yim got a surfboard submission, but Carter turned it into a pinning situation for a two count. Mia nailed a chop in the corner and then Carter started fighting back and she hit a running kick before doing a roll-up and then another kick to the face for a two count.

Suddenly, Mia Yim hit a Protect Ya Neck as Carter jumped off the top rope for the win.

Winner: Mia Yim

After the match, Chelsea Green attacked both of them and Robert Stone cut a promo about signing Green to his stable.

Keith Lee vs Dominik Dijakovic vs Cameron Grimes vs Damian Priest 

These guys had one big move after another and took each other to the limit while trying to top each other.

After a brutal battle, Keith Lee hit a Superplex on Damian. Dijakovic nailed a moonsailt on Lee for a two count. Grimes nailed a superkick on Dominik and a German suplex for a two count.

Grimes climbed to the top rope and Priest nailed a kick. Then he sent Grimes into Keith Lee’s arms preparing for a powerbomb. He got down and Dijakovic landed a knee on Grime and Lee pounced Dijakovic out of the ring before Priest nearly got a fall on Lee.

Priest and Dijakovic landed forearms and big kicks at the same time. Then they both got chokeholds. Keith Lee rose up and hit a doble chokeslam to sent them both outside.
