Video Package

Next we are sent into a video package that highlights Xia Li, Li will be in action next, but first we head to commercial break!

Promo – Mercedes Martinez

As we return from commercial break, we head into a Mercedes Martinez promo. Martinez states it has taken over 20 years to get the title shot she finally earned for this Sunday’s pay-per-view. She continues on to share that this is why she came back. This is the real her. Martinez goes on to call her opponent, Toni Storm, a little girl. She then adds a statement to Io Shirai, telling Shirai that her run as champ is over. Martinez ends by declaring that she is walking out of TakeOver Women’s champ, and you can bet on that.

Main Stage

We head to the stagw where Xia Li and Boa’s mentor, Tian Sha sits as she prepares to look over the next match. Commentary notes that Sha is thousands of years old and trained by a dragon. Her disciples appear beside her and walk to the ring. Boa removes Li’s head attire, then she draws her sword for a kata, hands it back to him, and enters the ring.

Suddenly Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter show up at ringside to beg Xia to not do this, saying this isn’t her. Boa then attempt to get them to step back and Li’s opponent attacks from behind.

Xia Li vs. Cora Jade

As Jade attacks from behind, Li falls to the canvas as the bell rings officially starting the match! At this point Li angrily returns to her feet and cuts Jade down with kicks. Li finishes the match quickly as she crushes Jade with a Spin Kick for the cover, getting the three count pin and win.

Winner: Xia Li

After the Match

Immediately following the match, Li proceeds to attack Cora Jade which visibly upsets both Catanzaro and Carter. The commentators explain they are concerned about what has happened to Li. Carter then runs over to Tian Sha at her throne and proceeds to yell at her. Carter states this isn’t Xia Li, adding she wants to know what Sha did to her. Li comes from behind and flips Carter off the stage! Li then returns back to the throne and begs forgiveness.

Backstage Interview – General Manager William Regal

As we head backstage, McKenzie Mitchell stands with General Manager William Regal as she states she has some questions for him. Regal starts off by putting over MSK then opens the door to his office. As he opens the door, we see Scarlett is in there. She tells Regal she’s here because the GM wouldn’t like it if “he” came. She continues on to inform Regal that Karrion Kross wants a match with Santos Escobar next week. Regal agrees and then he makes the match.

Backstage

We head to a different area backstage where we see Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell are walking towards the ring area. Austin Theory is wheeling Johnny Gargano directly behind them. We are informed that The Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Semifinals are next, but first we head to commercial break!

In-Ring – The Way

As we return from commercial break, we head to the ring where The Way members Candice LeRae, Indi Hartwell, Austin Theory and NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano, are waiting, Gargano in a wheelchair. Barrett explains that Gargano is unable to walk due to a broken arm. Gargano takes the mic before the match and says what we see is the result of the vicious and cowardly attack by Kushida last week. Fans continue to boo and chant “you deserve it!” now.

Gargano continues on to state that he was just trying to keep McKenzie Mitchell from getting fired last week when Kushida attacked him for no reason which left him with a broken arm. Gargano shows us a replay of last week’s brawl in William Regal’s office. Gargano says he has four fractures in his arm. Gargano goes on about how bad this injury is as a “Johnny Wheelchair” chant breaks out. Gargano says the worst part about this is now he can’t defend against Kushida at Takeover, something he was looking forward to.

Gargano then states that General Manager William Regal should suspend Kushida indefinitely for injuring the most beloved member of the NXT locker room. The NXT General Manager joins the conversation as he makes his way to the stage. Regal says Gargano and he both know that the NXT medical team cleared him to compete yesterday. Regal tells Gargano to give the charade up. Gargano doesn’t trust those quacks in medical and says he went to his own doctor and they found this… we see x-ray photos on the big screen. Gargano says Kushida broke the longest bone in his arm. Regal asks the name of the bone and he doesn’t know. Regal proves that the x-rays we are shown were not Gargano’s.

Gargano goes on ranting and Regal offers him two solutions – Theory can be Gargano’s surrogate with the title on the line. Theory likes this idea but Gargano says no way. The second option is Gargano can forfeit the title right now. Fans like this idea but Gargano doesn’t. He asks Regal to give him a few weeks so he can rehab and come back better. Regal says whatever they do, he needs to check with Kushida first. Regal asks Kushida what he thinks but we don’t see Kushida. Gargano asks why Regal is asking Kushida when he’s not here.

Kushida suddenly attacks from behind. This leads to Gargano standing up from the chair and doing a tug-of-war with Kushida for the title, proving his arm isn’t broken. The Way yells at Kushida as he stands there, taunting Gargano.

Semi-finals of the Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic
The Way vs. Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart

With The Way still in the ring with Kushida, we hear the entrance theme for Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart as they make their way out to the ring for the last semi-finals match in the Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. They ride in on a mini tank as opponents Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell watch from the ring as we head to commercial break.

As we return from the commercial break, the match is already underway as Moon and LeRae are the two legal opponents in for their respective teams. Moon is in control early on, she then tags in Blackheart. They run wild with a double team and Shotzi gets the cover for the two count. Shotzi lands multiple knee strikes to the head of LeRae. LeRae ends up in the corner as Moon tags back in and hits LeRae with shoulder. As Shotzi tags back in, LeRae quickly tags in Indi.

Indi beats Shotzi down in the corner and kicks away for a 2 count. At this point, LeRae tags in once again and strikes Shotzi as Indi holds her for a back-hand.

With that, we head to commercial break.

Wilde and Mendoza Enter The Locker Room

At this point both Wilde and Mendoza enter and start to apologize for their loss, but Santos tells them never to apologize because it shows weakness. Escobar continues on to tell them both that they can make it up to him by making sure Kross doesn’t make it to next week. They then take their leave and the champ thanks McKenzie before following them out.

Video Package

Next we head into a video package highlighting Finn Bálor and Pete Dunne. Finn Balor states this weekend at TakeOver will be a burning of a bridge, not a passing of the torch. After that, Pete Dunne states that he heard what Edge said about Bálor, but all he sees is a geezer with a glass jaw… (ouch).

Announcer’s Table

The announcers are talking when we hear a noise from outside.

Parking Lot

As we are switched to the conveniently placed camera in the parking lot, we see a Lamborghini pull up to a screeching hault. We see a boot step out, and out appears Cameron Grimes. He pulls out a wad of cash and gives some to the valets. He heads inside and is handing out money to everyone he passes. Grimes makes his way down the ramp and into the ring.

In-Ring – Cameron Grimes

Grimes then proceeds to explain that while he was out rehabbing after “Timothy Thatcher the MCL snatcher” put him on the shelf, he started playing video games. Then he walked into a Gamestop and decided to invest. The stock went parabolic, which means it went TO THE MOON! Then he found out there was this thing called “Dogcoin” (dogecoin), so he invested in that. And now he’s so rich no one can tell him what to do! If Mr. Regal wants to try and make him wrestle zombies, he can kiss his grits! Lots of maniacal laughter as he throws money in the air and rolls around in it.

Backstage Interview – Johnny Gargano

Gargano confirms he will defend the NXT North American Title against Kushida on Sunday during the pay-per-view event.
