These three stars laid out one another with kicks and elbows, as soon as the match began. Johnny Gargano was first sent to the floor and Pete Dunne started targeting Kyle O’Reilly’s left arm and fingers. But he was hit with a surprise cross armbreaker, but it was broken up by Gargano.
O’Reilly was then trapped in a heel hook by Gargano and an armbreaker by Dunne but he was able to escape both. Gargano tossed O’Reilly outside the ring and focussed on the Bruiserweight of NXT. Dunne managed to go out of the ring, and let KOR and Gargano take the match forward.

After the match, Dibiase shook his hand with LA Knight before abandoning him in the ring.
Adam Cole’s segment
Even after being escorted out of the building, Adam Cole stormed back into the building. He got into the ring and reminded everyone that he became NXT Champion two years ago, in this day. He had been gone for two months, and no one has been able to live up to his legacy.
Cole just took out three Superstars and it was time for him to get his title back. He said Kross, the overrated muscle head did not deserve to be in his ring. Before he could finish, Kross and Scarlett stormed to the ring.
Kross called Cole a little man before stating that when he signed there, everything that made Adam special flew out the window. Cole said that Kross couldn’t hang with him as he’s just not at that level. Cole is special and Kross was just holding his property.
Before William Regal could stop all of this, Karrion Kross made a challenge. At the upcoming TakeOver, he will take on everyone. Pete Dunne, Kyle O’Reilly, Johnny Gargano and Adam Cole.

Hayes caught Kushida with an elevated springboard leg drop for a near fall. Hayes followed it up with a superkick and spun him around with a fireman’s carry spin-out facebuster. Kushida escaped with hip toss/kick to the jaw.
Kushida went for the Hoverboard Lock, but couldn’t lock it in. Carmelo looked for another springboard clothesline but was rocked Kushida’s right hand. The Hoverboard Lock was finally applied in and Carmelo submitted for a loss on debut.
