After William Regal reveals the shiny new belt, the bell rings. They lock up and Moon forces Asuka to the ropes. They perform some chain wrestling as the fans chant both of their names. They go move for move until they both miss a dropkick at the same time. Asuka puts out her hand as a sign of respect, but takes it back when Moon tries to shake it.
Moon hits a headscissor takedown, but Asuka is right back up. Moon continues to counter everything Asuka throws at her. They have an exchange that ends with Asuka taking her out with a flying hip strike. Moon comes back with some kicks to take the champ down.
Moon is knocked hard into the barricade and she is slow to get back in the ring. Asuka slows the pace down and starts playing with her like a cat teasing a mouse. She hits another hip strike before the ref backs Asuka off. Moon counters a German suplex and the Asukalock before sending the champion out of the ring with a massive forearm to the face. Moon springboards out from the middle rope and takes her down with a cross body.

Moon sets up for the Eclipse, but Asuka counters and hits a shining wizard for a close two count. She applies the Asukalock and gets her down to the mat. Moon fights hard to stand up, but Asuka locks in the bodyscissors to add more pressure. Moon continues to fight, but ends up going down to one knee. She finds the strength to stand back up and plant Asuka on her back to break the hold. Moon hits a superkick after avoiding a hip attack and both women go down.
Ember catches Asuka with a fall-away slam. She kips up and hits a front handspring elbow in the corner. Asuka grabs her on the middle rope and hits a huge German suplex for another very close two count. They trade strikes in the middle of the ring until Moon hits a t-bone suplex for another near fall. Asuka shoves the ref into the ropes to knock Moon down and avoid the Eclipse! The fans boo as Asuka hits a kick to the head to pick up the win.
Winner: Asuka
With a BRAND NEW title in hand, @WWEAsuka is STILL your #WWENXT #WomensChampion! #NXTTakeOver pic.twitter.com/DnGatdLDmN
