The NXT Women's Champion was brutalized early by the challenger, as Ember Moon used her speed to her advantage, delivering a series of strikes. However, a flying crossbody failed, and Raquel Gonzalez knocked her out of the air. Moon countered the powerbomb, but Dakota Kai's distraction allowed Gonzalez to send Moon into the barricade.

Gonzalez kept the pace slow, hammering Moon with heavy blows and tossing her around the ring. She countered the diving Codebreaker, hitting a hellacious one-armed sidewalk slam. She then followed that up with a corkscrew press and another big slam to get a two-count.

Moon managed to level Gonzalez, surprisingly, with a superkick and strong right forearm. Gonzalez was planted with Code Red, and just barely managed to kick out. Moon set up for her modified STF, but Dakota Kai shoved the ropes toward Gonzalez to make the save. For some reason, the ref didn't throw her out. Moon sent Gonzalez over the table with a suicide dive.

Dakota Kai, again paying dividends, distracted Moon as she went for the Eclipse. Gonzalez jumped up for a superplex, earning another two-count. Gonzalez went for a stalling suplex, but Moon countered with a version of the Eclipse. After a jawbreaker, she went for another diving Codebreaker, connecting with it this time.

The second Eclipse connected, but Kai placed the NXT Women's Champion's foot on the ropes. Kai finally got some comeuppance, as NXT's Tank Girl Shotzi Blackheart ran her down and took her to the back.

Moon took Gonzalez to the ramp with a tornado DDT, but cost herself precious time when she had to roll Gonzalez back inside the ring. Gonzalez kicked out and caught Moon's Eclipse attempt. After lawn darting Moon into the turnbuckle, she hit the powerbomb for the win.

Results: Raquel Gonzalez defeated Ember Moon via pinfall at NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

Grade: B+

Following the match, we saw Kai, Moon, Gonzalez, and Blackheart fighting in the back just as Johnny Gargano came out for the main event.
