Oney Lorcan vs. Andrade “Cien” Almas
Lorcan comes out to a nice reaction, as does Almas, donning his mask from his days in Japan and beyond. He quickly takes it off and we get started. Lorcan goes for the handshake and Almas kicks it away. Collar elbow tie up and broken up with a slap from Almas. Crowd appreciative of the tit for tat standoff. Almas decides to hang out for a bit after countering a whip from the brawler. Suplex from Almas to try and create space but Lorcan holds on to the headlock. Another athletic exchange as Almas gets the upper hand. He teases his double knees but stops short and slaps Lorcan instead. Headlock from Almas as the Japanese crowd urges Lorcan on. Chops from Lorcan, whip to shoulder tackle. Lorcan misses a block buster from the top, but then hits it from the mat. They trade waist locks, Almas hits a modified pump handle slam. Both men up and trade loud shots in the center of the ring. Inverted exploder from Lorcan. He tees Almas up in the corner, hits two big shots, and misses on the third. Almas hits the double knees, cover for a two. Hammerlock DDT countered, big elbow to stop a corner attack. They head to the top, and Lorcan hits a big exploder from the top. Cover, pin, and three for the win.
Winner via Pinfall: Oney Lorcan
– We look at the rest of the card featuring an NXT Women’s Title match and a women’s tag match, which is up next.
Liv Morgan & Aliyah vs. Billie Kay & Peyton Royce
Liv and Kay start us off with a tie up. The taller Billie Kay takes advantage early, but we go rolling for at least 3 revolutions, with the official doing one counts the entire way. Nicely done. Kip-up from both as tags are made. Aliyah springboards and hits a pair of arm drags followed by an “old school”-esque arm drag from the middle rope. Royce using the height advantage using some legs to reverse some offense. Tag made to Billie Kay, Aliyah bridges up, smacked back down, and the tandem offense continues from the Aussies. Aliyah goes for the tag, but denied and tripped up. Another tag, double suplex. Quick tags and cutting the ring in half as all good tag teams do. Royce in control using her long legs as submission weapons. Billie Kay with a suplex followed by a headbutt to Aliyah and a shot to Liv for good measure. Cover on Aliyah, but smartly gets to the rope to break the count. Aliyah reverses another double suplex and makes the tag. Morgan in and executes the the hot tag nicely with a cross body and drop kicks. Blind tag made to Royce outside of Morgan’s vision. She leads a bulldog into Kay’s knee for the win.
Winners via Pinfall: Billie Kay & Peyton Royce
– Directly into the next match, which is for the NXT Tag Team Championship.
