Rhea Ripley vs Shayna Baszler
Baszler came out of the gate looking for some joint manipulation. Ripley went to the ropes to break it up. Baszler tried to take her leg out, but Ripley wasn't having it, tripping Baszler instead and attempting a massive stomp. Baszler barely rolled away in time.
Ripley tried to go for a body slam only for the champion to slip out, trying to lock in the Kirifuda Clutch. Baszler's hold was unsuccessful as she couldn't get a good grip, and Baszler finally slammed her. In the corner, a series of shoulder thrusts left Baszler gasping.
Baszler countered a suplex with a roll-up. As she made it back to her feet following a kick out, a single leg dropkick took out Baszler. However, a big boot near the ropes left Ripley hung up, allowing Baszler to take out her other leg and damage her right knee. With the Mosh Pit Kid finally on the ground, Baszler locked her in a cravate hold. Ripley easily made it to her feet, though, and sent her over with a back body drop.
Ripley failed to hit a running dropkick, allowing Baszler to lock in the Kirifuda Clutch. Baszler was taken to the corner where she was knocked off the top with a dropkick. Outside, an electric chair facebuster bounced Baszler's face on the steel steps. Before she could capitalize back inside, the Horsewomen invaded the ring. Shafir and Duke were stopped by the Queen of the Riptide, though, and quite easily.
Baszler took her out from behind. Ripley blocked a chair shot, though, and battered Baszler with it instead.
Results: Shayna Baszler defeated Rhea Ripley via DQ.
Baszler and her crew stood atop the ramp as Ripley challenged her to bring it, sitting in the chair she used to force Baszler to escape.
The Undisputed Era ended the night, with Adam Cole claiming that the Undisputed Prophecy would finally come true on a history-making night for NXT. Next week, Roderick Strong would capture the final piece of the puzzle, leaving all four members draped in gold.
