# 3 NXT Women's Championship: Asuka (c) vs. Bayley

A spirited farewell.

This was the official beginning of a new era in NXT, as it was Bayley's emotional final match on the yellow brand. After Asuka defeated the beloved Bayley for the title in Dallas in April, a rematch was inevitable. A storyline injury delayed it to the appropriate place - Brooklyn, in the Barclays Center, where Bayley won the title a year before. Could she overcome the odds again and exorcise the juggernaut that was Asuka? Asuka claimed Bayley couldn't, that she didn't have what it took.

Dueling chants made this contest hot as soon as the bell rang. Cory Graves had the line that best described the contest: "I don't know how you solve Asuka. No one has done it yet." For every line of attack Bayley pursued, no matter how aggressively, Asuka had a devastating answer. Just when Bayley looked like she would be gaining an advantage, Asuka would change the equation.

The climax of the match began when Asuka locked Bayley in the Asuka Lock. It was then that Bayley did the unthinkable and escaped from the hold, with the Barclays Center going nuts. She then did what she couldn't do in Dallas and reversed into the Bayley-to-Belly, but only got a two count.

As Asuka got up, Bayley charged, only for Asuka to catch her into a flying Asuka Lock, only for Bayley to escape again, only for Asuka to drag her back to the floor, only for Bayley to reverse it into a pin, which forced Asuka to break the hold!

No problem - the champion just responded with a massive kick to the face. Bayley got right back up, slapped Asuka in the face, and got a spinning back kick for her effort. After another kick, Asuka knocked Bayley out, pinning her to retain the championship.

After a hug between the two competitors, Bayley exchanged more hugs with her fellow Four Horsewomen, thanked the fans, and left the Barclays Center, putting NXT behind her forever.
