- Ranallo and the crew welcome us to the show and run down tonight's card, that include the aforementioned title matches. Let's go to the ring for the first of those two title tilts
SAnitY (Young/Dain) vs. The Undisputed Era (Fish/O'Reilly)--NXT Tag Team Championship
It's announced that Alexander Wolfe is still not medically cleared after a big spill at the WarGames event. Crowd is a bit dead considering it's a title match. However those Full Sail tapings can get a bit long. Dain and Fish start the match and Fish looks for a quick kick and retreats to the ropes for a little mind games. Tag to O'Reilly who also keeps his distance after a strike. Another tag made and Dain no-sells forearms. Fish climbs the monster for a sleeper hold and declares "I got him!" but was sadly mistaken. Dain slings him off and takes out O'Reilly in succession.
O'Reilly tries for an advantage by going for Young but comes up empty and allows Dain to attack. Tag made to the veteran champion who comes in hot. He dominates both guys and escapes a trap set by the wily challengers. Young on the outside and sweeps the legs of O'Reilly from inside. The tables turn and Fish sweeps his legs and he goes head first into the apron as we go to break.
We're back and the challengers have managed to cut the ring in half and begin making quick tags in classic tag team fashion. Knee strike and trip tandem combo followed by a senton is enough for the two count. Double suplex snaps Young to the mat and O'Reilly quickly moves to cut him off at the pass. Hammerlock sweep from O'Reilly and now looks to grind down the champs with a wrist lock putting torque on the elbow and shoulder. Young fights his way out. O'Reilly perches on the top but O'Reilly hits him with a knee on the dismount. A desperate neck breaker by Young and both men down. Tag made and Fish takes a shot at Dain on the side. He tries to enter, but the official thwarts that attempt, which allows UE time to take a little extra out of Young. Whip combo to the corner but Young rids of both challengers. Young crawls to Dain, but O'Reilly stops him. It's not enough and the tag is made and it's now time for a little destruction. Corner avalanches abound. O'Reilly ducks but a drop kick hits Fish. Fish gets picked up and drops him and himself (Dain) onto O'Reilly. Young now the legal man and is alone with O'Reilly. EY heads up top and is sent down by the leader of UE Adam Cole. Nikki Cross evens the odds with a running cross body on Cole. Back to the ring. Leaping neck breaker on O'Reilly for a two. Dain looks to take out Cole for good but Cole shoves him into the ring post. Young takes his eye off the prize for a moment and gets met with the former Redragon's finisher for the win and title change.
