Match 1.  North American Champion, Kelani Jordan VS Wren Sinclair (with NQCC)

Winner and still NXT Womens North American Champion by pinfall, Kelani Jordan

Ethan Page has a press conference.  He says there is a lot of pressure being in his shoes.  He also brags, he handles it well.  He praises Trick Williams, but he isn’t wining his belt and CM Punk won’t be a factor as the referee.
