A vignette played of Bianca Belair, who threatened anyone who got in her way as she looked to earn another opportunity at the NXT Women's Championship. Her words seemed to be aimed at Kairi Sane and Io Shirai, the latter of whom picked up a pinfall victory over Shayna Baszler a few weeks ago.

It was revealed that the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic would return this year.

Mia Yim vs Xia Li

Xia Li has been quite impressive recently, even if she hasn't picked up many wins

Li and Yim shook hands to start the match. They locked up and were evenly matched in the beginning. Li sent Yim across the ring but caught herself on the ropes when Yim ducked down.

Yim caught her in a wrist lock, only for Li to break out and send Yim into the corner with a flurry of kicks, nearly catching the HBIC in the face. Yim powered Li down, but Li quickly countered into a roll-up, getting a two count.

Li went for a monkey flip but Yim countered. Li managed to turn it into a sunset flip. Yim kicked out, only to be caught in the chest with a solid kick. Yim turned it around, sending Li into the corner with a running single leg dropkick.

Yim followed up with a rolling senton into the corner. Li kicked out. Yim and Li traded strikes, with Li getting the upper hand. A jumping spinning roundhouse to a kneeling Yim nearly got Li the win, but Yim kicked out. Li went up top for a jumping side kick, but Yim dodged, setting Li up for Protect Ya Neck for the win.

Results: Mia Yim defeated Xia Li via pinfall.

Yim was immediately assaulted after the match by the Three Horsewomen, but three of the trainees came in for the save.

They were no match for Baszler, Shafir, and Duke, however, as they took them out and targeted Yim again. Duke and Shafir held Yim as Baszler delivered a running knee to the unprotected jaw.


Backstage, Johnny Gargano was met by both Candice LeRae and Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa said if he needed him, he would be here. Gargano again denied his support, saying he won the title by himself. Ciampa said that he'd be watching, regardless.
