In the Women’s Battle Royal, Jax last eliminated Ember Moon. After throwing Zelina Vega to the outside on Tamina, Moon tried to eliminate Jax but to no avail, as Jax tree slammed her then eliminated Moon to win the match. At the end of the night, Rousey successfully defended the Raw Women’s Championship against Nikki and Jax was then shown backstage watching Rousey celebrate on a television monitor.
The NXT Women’s Championship was the sole title to change hands. The finish had Sane back body drop Baszler into a crowd of NXT women wrestlers, including Baszler’s friends Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke. Both got involved, with a second cheap shot by Duke allowing Baszler to get the submission win with the Kirifuda Clutch. With the win, Baszler becomes the first-ever two-time NXT Women’s Champion.
