Lani and Vice started the match, with Jordan trying to catch the NXT women's champion with a couple pin attempts early. Kendal Grey tried to push the pace but ran into the powerful Zaria. Vice also struggled against the women's North American champion. After Zaria sent Grey to the floor with power, Lani dived onto Grey and mocked her with a knee on her throat as NXT headed to picture-in-picture for the last time.

Zaria and Kelani Jordan isolated Kendal Grey through the commercial break, not allowing Lola Vice into the action until just after the picture-in-picture break finished. The NXT women's champion ran over both heels with strong strikes on Lani. Zaria blind tagged in and laid out Vice to slow the pace again.

Jordan and Vice went for arm-focused submissions until the latter needed a breather, giving Grey the hot tag. Grey pulled down the straps and countered an attempt at the One of a Kind, but was not ready for a Zaria Spear. Zaria went for the F5, but Grey reversed into an Armbar. While Grey held it for a while, Zaria powered free into a Sit-Out Powerbomb. Vice broke up the pin and ran into Jordan with Pump Kicks.

Vice tagged herself in and fought off a Sit-Out Powerbomb, then locked in a Guillotine Choke. Grey caught Jordan with an Ankle Lock as well. All four women battled to the outside, where Zaria hit Vice with a Spear. As she teased an F5 on the floor, Tatum Paxley distracted Zaria from the audience. That allowed Vice to hit a Spinning Back Fist for the pin on Zaria.

After the match, Vice and Grey celebrated nervously together. Tatum Paxley jumped onto Zaria to start a brawl. Kelani Jordan tried to steal the NXT Women's Championship, and Kendal Grey accidentally blasted Lola Vice with the title in the scuffle. Kelani Jordan was laughing as Grey tried to explain to Vice that she did not mean to lay her out.
