Ember Moon (c) vs. Sonya Deville–NXT Women's Championship Match

Interesting that it seemed they overdubbed the entrances rather than doing the spotlight treatment in the ring. Deville with back control early on with a go behind. She looks for her leg submission but Moon quick to recognize and scoot out of the way. Hip toss is reversed by moon and hits an arm drag on the challenger.

Deville with a grounded bear hug squeezing the air out of the champ. Wheel barrel lift by Deville, but Moon dives under to throw Deville into the turnbuckle. Moon selling the ribs and Deville up first. House of fire from Moon with a barrage of strikes and gets a two count. Shot from Deville, but another kick out. Moon hits another level with a springboard drop kick. She quickly follows with The Eclipse. Textbook cover for the win. Not the best of showings, but cements the champion over a newly called up competitor.

Winner and STILL NXT Women's Champion: Ember Moon

- After the match, Kairi Sane comes out and has her "eye" on the championship. As she states her claim to Moon, Shayna Baszler comes up from behind and puts Sane to sleep on the ramp. Officials break it up and check on Sane to end the segment.
