NXT Women’s Championship Match
(C) Shayna Baszler Vs. Kairi Sane
The other three Horsewomen, Rousey, Duke, and Shafir, are shown watching from ringside as Sane and Baszler lock-up. Shayna counters a waistlock into an armbar, which Sane then counters into a leglock. They are forced to break due to a rope break. Kairi goes for the leg again and rolls Baszler up for a two count. Sane uses a stretch muffler submission, but Shayna escapes and they butt head, literally. They trade strikes until Sane takes her down with a headscissor, then sends the Champion from the ring with a basement dropkick.
Sane follows-up with a running elbow off the apron. Shayna takes back control with a low dropkick to the knee. Baszler then stomps on the right leg of Sane and tries to maim her. Baszler is sent to the outside but dodges a shoulder tackle before draping Sane’s injured leg over the middle rope. Back inside the ring, Baszler mounts Sane for some punches to the face before she goes back to the leg with a heel hook. Baszler contorts Sane’s leg in some horrible ways, then stomps on the heel as her toes were pointed to the mat. Shayna mocks Kairi’s signature march before kicking her in the leg in the corner.
Sane gets back to her feet and gets fired-up. Kairi hulks-up and doesn’t sell Baysler’s punches, then unloads with some of her own. She starts to build momentum with a running knee in the corner for a two count. Kairi takes to the top rope but Baszler meets her on the top turnbuckle and lands a nice gutwrench superplex! Baszler goes for a vertical suplex, but Sane escapes, hits the ropes, and nails her with a Spear. Sane climbs to the top and hits the InSane Elbow! But she doesn’t go for the cover, she climbs back up for a second, but Baszler rolls out of the ring.
Kairi calls an audible and leaps with a crossbody from the top rope to the floor! She sends Baszler back inside and heads back up for another InSane Elbow and hits it, but Baszler kicks out at two! Sane goes for a submission, but Baszler turns it into the rear naked choke. Sane barely reaches the ropes to force a break and Baszler is distraught. Shayna then looks for a heel hook, but Kairi rolls it into a different hold, forcing Shayna to grab the bottom rope. Sane catches Baszler with an Alabama Slam before heading back up to the top rope. She looks for the Elbow once more but Baszler blocks it with her feet! The Champion tries to lock in the rear choke again, but Sane rolls back into a pin and gets the win!!
Winner and New NXT Women’s Champion: Kairi Sane
Sane celebrates her huge title win after the fact. She cried and bows with the Championship as the fans cheer. A nice moment.
