Stark came into the match and the heels managed to find a way to isolate her. Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell made their presence felt as they watched the match up close.

After some top moves, Shirai hit her signature moonsault to pick up the win. After the match, Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez caught up with Shirai and Stark and told them that they would not make it to the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship match.
