Final Two: Cody Rhodes and Tyler Bate
MAIN CARD
Dawson and Wilder vs. The American Wolves
Starting off with what could easily be the match of the night, two of the best tag teams in the world battle to a jaw dropping conclusion.
Winners: The American Wolves
The Authors of Pain vs. Abyss and Crazzy Steve
Steve proves completely ineffective in the match and while Abyss puts up a valient fight, the combined size of the Authors of Pain proves too much.
Winners: The Authors of Pain
Austin Aries vs. Jeff Hardy
Aries called out Jeff for losing his spark and becoming the "second best" Hardy, Jeff comes into this match with a lot to prove to show he is as good as he ever was, while there are many close calls, Jeff manages to hit the Swanton to silence Aries.
Winner: Jeff Hardy
sAnitY vs. DCC (Six-Man Tag)
The DCC seems like the stronger team initially but they are slowly picked off by the dirty tactics of sAnity leaving Kingston to be finished off by Young in the center of the ring.
Winners: sAnitY
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Bobby Lashley (for the TNA Championship)
Nakamura seems certain to win until Lashley manages to take out his bad leg and hits a big spear to finish him.
Winner (and STILL TNA Champion): Bobby Lashley
Tyler Bate vs. Cody Rhodes
One of the hottest young talents taking on one of the hottest journeymen in the world, Rhodes surprisingly tries to use some heel tactics early on to finish Bate and Bate soon knows he has to expect anything. Despite controlling much of the match, karma catches up with Rhodes as Bate locks in his finisher out of nowhere and wins a future NXT title opportunity. Bate's young star just keeps rising.
Winner: Tyler Bate
The Authors of Pain vs. The American Wolves (Tournament Final)
Although the Authors of Pain seem like the obvious winners, the American Wolves use an incredible amount of teamwork to wear down the big men and eventually manage to topple one of them for the upset victory! After the win, Richards tells American Alpha to "expect us".
Winners: The American Wolves
Asuka (c) vs. Gail Kim (for the NXT Womens Championship)
A dream match coming true, Kim shows a renewed vigor, wanting to be the first person to stop Asuka since her debut in NXT. As hard as she fights however, Asuka keeps coming back in. A second wind, a third, a fourth, there is no stopping Asuka as Kim eventually has to admit defeat by tapping her hand on the mat.
Winner (and STILL NXT Womens Champion): Asuka
Bobby Roode (c) vs. Matt Hardy (for the NXT Championship)
A lot of theatrics as Roode flaunts his robe, the women who accompanied him to the ring, and even a luxury watch. Roode tells Hardy that a freak like him will never make it to the top of the mountain. Hardy says they met in a past life and Hardy was the better man then as he will be tonight. It isn't the most technical match in wrestling history but both men turn their characters up to 11. The women outside the ring attempt to distract Hardy which leads Reby Sky to start wildly slapping at all of them. This distracts Roode who is caught in a Twist of Hate to shockingly lose his title!
Winner (and NEW NXT Champion): Matt Hardy
