The Undisputed Era ran down, but Ciampa kicked out at two after a double team move. Then Ciampa got even with the Undisputed Era after a draping DDT and a dive. Cole took advantage and hit a Last Shot for a two count.
The referee was taken out and they traded low-blows. Ciampa hit the Fairy Tale Ending, but there was no referee to count the three count. Then Johnny Gargano showed up just as Ciampa was about to grab the NXT Title and hit Cole.
