Io Shirai has one of the best entrances in wrestling

Prior to this match, it was revealed that Finn Balor would battle Damian Priest at NXT TakeOver: In Your House. The former NXT Champion was attacked by the Archer of Infamy months ago, with Priest considering Balor a prize akin to a title.

Charlotte Flair doesn't exactly have a lot of friends on any brand. Still, she managed to find a partner tonight, and it was none other than Robert Stone's Chelsea Green! If this goes well, Robert Stone may be managing the NXT Women's Champion soon.

Rhea Ripley & Io Shirai vs Charlotte Flair & Chelsea Green w/Robert Stone

Rhea Ripley thought she was starting off with Charlotte Flair, but the Queen pulled a fast one, leaving for Chelsea Green to take on the Nightmare. Green avoided some big strikes but would fall to a savate kick to the gut and a back suplex.

A headbutt to Green stunned her but sent Ripley stumbling into her corner. Io Shirai tagged in and lit Green up with a series of dropkicks and hip attacks. Green countered a 619, sending Shirai to the floor. She followed up with a suicide dive and tagged in Flair.

Flair taunted Shirai and Ripley, more than anything, before tagging Green back in. They found themselves on the floor, with both women driving one another into the steel barricade.

Back from the break, and Shirai managed to make the tag, leading to Ripley cleaning house. However, Flair was able to get a sneaky tag, and locked Ripley in the Figure-4. Shirai broke it up with a shotgun dropkick before tagging in.

Shirai rocked Flair with a 619, but her springboard dropkick hit the wrong target, as Green sacrificed herself, pushing Flair out of the way. The NXT Women's Champion capitalized on the confusion, pinning Shirai with the ropes.

Results: Charlotte Flair defeated Io Shirai via pinfall.

Grade: B-

Flair's got a victory over Shirai heading into their three-way NXT Women's Championship bout. That momentum may send her to another successful title defense.
