NXT North American Championship Match: Carmelo Hayes vs Giovanni Vinci
Carmelo Hayes was outmatched by Giovanni Vinci’s speed and strength, but the involvement of Trick Williams saved The A Champion. Vinci landed a vicious powerbomb on Trick to clear him out of his way. Carmelo dodged a powerbomb attempt by Vinci and struck with a head-scissors takedown to secure the pinfall and retain his NXT North American Championship title.
1 vs 1 Match: Roxanne Perez vs Cora Jade
Roxanne Perez battled valiantly but was hampered by her own principles. Perez refuted using the weapons and was unable to wield the black kendo stick against Cora Jade. But Jade did not make any such exceptions and smashed Perez onto the weapon to secure a rather tainted victory.
Street Fight Match: Tony D’Angelo vs Santos Escobar
In a highly grueling encounter, Tony D’Angelo employed every trick in his book to overpower Santos Escobar. The heel even assaulted members of the Legado Del Fantasma. However, in the closing stages of the match, Santos Escobar tried to use his brass knuckles but was outsmarted by Angelo who defeated him after connecting a vicious crowbar.
NXT Women’s Championship Match: Champion Mandy Rose vs Zoey Stark
Mandy Rose attacked Zoey Stark’s knee, pulling off her knee brace in the process. Stark showed impressive resilience and endured Rose’s mighty move of bicycle knee, becoming the first woman in NXT to do so. But she could not contain the dominant champion and had to face defeat after she was hit by a stronger bicycle knee by Rose. She retained the NXT Women’s Championship and has now passed 300 days as the reigning champion.
