NXT Cruiserweight Championship Match: Akira Tozawa vs Lio Rush (c)

Tozawa took the champ down with a shoulder block, but Rush quickly recovered, ducking a punch and baiting Tozawa in to chase him. Tozawa managed to catch him, however, matching his speed. A hurricanrana sent him overhead.

Tozawa and Rush shook hands, then caught each other's legs going for kicks. It was a tit-for-tat encounter, leading Rush to the top rope where he was rocked by Tozawa's fake-out jab. The Stamina Monster found himself on the apron with Rush, with the champion looking for a German suplex to the floor. Tozawa held onto the ropes and blocked a sunset flip powerbomb, stomping on Rush's face and following that with a senton on the apron.

Back from the break, Tozawa had Rush set up in a fireman's carry position. Rush tried to fight out but to no avail. A spin out facebuster and a running dropkick sent the champion to the floor. A rolling senton from the apron took Rush down to the ground.

Back inside, Rush finally picked up his tempo, lighting up his challenger with an impressive striking combination. He landed on his feet after a German suplex attempt, leading to both men landing pump kicks on each other. Back to their feet, Rush took Tozawa to the apron, where a pump kick stunned the Champ of the Hour.

Rush fought off a German to the apron only for an enziguri to set up one sending him flying nearly halfway to the ramp. Tozawa had a rough fall as well, but managed to get back in the ring, as did Rush, before the ten count.

A snap German was countered into a victory roll by Rush. Tozawa kicked out only to be met with another kicking combination, sending his mouthguard flying. Rush went for the Come Up, but Tozawa fel to the mat. A second Come Up was countered into a German suplex. The deadlift German suplex earned him a two-count.

Rush lifted his knees up as Tozawa leapt up for the Senton Splash. The champion moved up and landed the Final Hour on the back of his challenger. A second Final Hour connected, giving Rush an impressive title defense.
