Bianca Belair vs. Nikki Cross ends in a no-contest. During the match, the lights go out. When the lights come back on, Bianca Belair is gone, and in her place is Aleister Black, sitting in the middle of the ring. Nikki Cross rolls around as the crowd chants "Nikki's got a secret!" Then, Aleister silently asks her to stop and to come forward. Nikki Cross slowly crawls forward, then says to her "Tell me."

British Strong Style (Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch) beat Cezar Bononi and Adrian Jauode.
Tommaso Ciampa shows up, and for the first time since the break-up of #DIY after his attack on Johnny Gargano, Ciampa has his own entrance music and video. Ciampa calls his entrance a message to the fans in which he politely tells them to shut up. He says that he has heard the whispers and seen everyone point the figure at him over who took over Aleister Black over the last month, and says he does not care what the fans think. Gargano says that if he wants to confront someone and beat them up, he does it in front of an audience so that they can "worship their master at work." He refuses to lie to the fans, saying "the champ never lies," and says he had all the intentions of taking out Aleister before TakeOver. Unfortunately, someone beat him to the punch, and he wants to know who did so he can pat them on the back for a job well done. Gargano tells everyone not to get things confused, and even if he were involved, he would still have been the winner in the end while Aleister and Gargano lost. He then "talks" to the NXT Championship, and says that the title has said to him that it is happy to be back in the main event of TakeOver. Gargano says he is the champion of champions and the greatest success history in NXT history. Before he leaves, he tells everyone that if they want to be a success, a winner and a champion, then all they have to do is follow the lead of Tommaso Ciampa.
"The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler beat Violet Payne with the Kirafuda Clutch after an Americana followed by a stomp to the elbow. After the match, Baszler heads up the ramp, then runs back down to ringside and put Violey Payne in the Kirafuda Clutch again. Referees have to run in to get Baszler to break the hold. She does, then puts her in the hold yet again before tossing her out of the ring.
We see footage from just earlier where Heavy Machinery (Tucker Knight and Otiz Dozovic) are confronted by Tommaso Ciampa for naming him the suspect in the attack on Aleister Black. Suddenly, General Manager William Regal shows up and demands Ciampa come to his office. Regal tells Dozovic that if he and Ciampa want to fight, they will have to do it another time.
We hear from The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). Strong says that they are too popular to hide from anybody, including War Raiders, and O'Reilly says that they are sneak attacking cowards. Fish agrees with O'Reilly, and Cole says that they can talk about War Raiders all week, but next week, Pete Dunne and Ricochet face each other in a champion vs. champion and the winner will fail to beat him for the North American title. He then says that regardless of who The Undisputed Era take on, they're are not on their level.
Lars Sullivan beats Raul Mendoza.
We see footage from earlier today where Pete Dunne, who says that what happened two weeks ago is Ricochet's fault, and while he got in The Undisputed Era's business, Ricochet has some gold that he wants. He says that Ricochet has held his title for five minutes, while he is the longest-reigning champion in WWE. All he has to figure out now is how to put two championship belts in his mouth.
Cathy Kelley interviews Ricochet, who says he has been in high-pressure situations for over 15 years and Pete Dunne is just another hurdle he has to leap over. He plans to become NXT's one and only dual champion next week.
We see a vignette for The Forgotten Sons (Wesley Blake, Steve Cutler, Jaxson Ryker).

Kassius Ohno speaks with General Manager William Regal concerning the attack on Aleister Black. Regal says that Ohno seems perturbed, but Ohno says he would be too if he showed up and got leapfrogged by newer talent concerning opportunities upon his return. He tells him that when "his new shiny toy" gets here, he will take care of him.
Nikki Cross and Bianca Belair wrestle to a double count-out. After the match, referees have to break up a post-match brawl, and Bianca Belair has to toss Nikki Cross over the announce table. This does not stop Cross, who takes out Belair and all of the referees with a cross body off the table.
