Bayley came out of the gates on fire in this TakeOver rematch, attacking the champion with a series of arm drags and roll-ups that forced Charlotte to retreat.

NXT Champion Adrian Neville def. Tyson Kidd (Last Chance NXT Championship Match)
Not only was the NXT Universe watching as Tyson Kidd got his final opportunity at Adrian Neville’s NXT Championship, but Titus O’Neil took a front row seat to get the best view of the title match. Kidd was aggressive from the get-go, trying to make the most of his last chance at the title.

As Kidd mounted an offensive, eventually locking on the Sharpshooter, Neville could not be put away. Things looked bleakest for Neville when he rolled to the outside, only for O’Neil to get up from his seat and yank Neville to the ground. Titus looked ready to attack more, but as soon as he leaned over the guardrail, Sami Zayn rushed out and hit him with the Helluva Kick! With O’Neil’s threat neutralized, Neville battled back and hit the Red Arrow to retain his title, ending Kidd’s championship dreams.
