Bobby Roode (C) vs Hideo Itami (for the NXT Championship)
Bobby Roode started the match off confidently, if not overconfident. As he showed off for Itami in the early stages, Itami immediately went for a GTS. Roode broke out and was taken aback. He ran out of the ring to regroup.
When he came back in, Itami hit him with multiple strikes and knees. He then teased the stomp before slapping Roode across the face with his boot. Itami then went for a tornado DDT from the top rope, only for Roode to toss him off the rope. Roode followed it up with a neckbreaker from the top-rope.
