A big boot would nearly take Gargano's head off, however, and a series of clotheslines in the corner and a sidewalk slam saw Gargano roll to his corner for safety. Damian Priest tagged Io Shirai, forcing Candice LeRae to enter the fray.

Candice blocked a German suplex, bringing Shirai down with a school boy for a two. As Shirai powered out, she planted LeRae with a flapjack and dropkick. Johnny Gargano rushed into the ring hoping to save LeRae from trouble.

It didn't work out that way, as Priest rolled in and sent Gargano into the corner with a roundhouse. The Archer of Infamy followed up with a running elbow. Gargano rolled out just as Shirai hit LeRae with a double knee strike in the corner. As they recovered on the floor, Priest took Shirai up on his shoulders for a big dive over the ropes.

During the break, of course, LeRae took over, but as we returned she was spiked with a German suplex. Gargano and Priest tagged in, with the latter dishing out some more heavyweight hits to his challenger at NXT TakeOver. The Broken Arrow hit for a two-count.

Gargano broke up a kicking combination but was stunned by a fresh Io Shirai's springboard dopkick. LeRae rushed in, but was immediately trapped in a crossface. Gargano pulled Shirai off of his wife, and followed up with a superkick to Priest. LeRae hit a wheelbarrow facebuster but missed her springboard moonsault.

Shirai connected with the double underhook backbreaker. Gargano rolled in to push Lerae out of hearms way of the moonsault. Priest laid him out with a bell clap and cyclone kick, and Shirai followed up with the Over the Moonsault.

Priest tagged in, but a low blow from LeRae allowed Gargano to hit One Final Beat for the win.
