Stephanie McMahon Addresses The Crowd
Stephanie McMahon’s music hits and she makes her way down to the ring. She gets in the ring and gets on the mic. She says there are 15,589 fans inside the Barclays Center here tonight and many more watching around the world on the WWE Network. She brings up the Divas Revolution and mentioned that it actually started right here in NXT.
NXT Women’s Championship
– Bayley vs. Sasha Banks (c)
Stephanie McMahon then says it’s an honor to introduce our first of two main events tonight. He mentions Sasha Banks and Bayley and then their pre-match video package airs. NXT Women’s Championship action is up next here at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn.
From there, Bayley’s music hits, the fans pop like crazy and the ultimate underdog makes her way to the ring for this championship contest. Out next is her opponent for tonight, the current NXT Women’s Champion and member of Team B.A.D. — “The Boss” Sasha Banks.
Banks comes out in a car. Four security guards open the door for her and she struts her proud self down to the ring, raising the NXT Women’s Championship high in the air. Once she reaches the ring, the security guards lift her up onto the apron.
The fans are electric for this one, as they erupt in split chants, with half of the fans chanting “Let’s go Sasha” and the other half chanting “Let’s go Bayley.” The two trade turns in the offensive lead thus far. Bayley ties Banks upside down in the corner and hits a springboard elbow drop for a near fall.
Bayley gets in a couple more moves as the announcers point out she’s way more serious than her usual fun-loving self. Wtih that said, Banks starts to take over control of the offense in this one. Banks goes after the knee of Bayley and knocks her off the top rope and out to the floor.
Bayley gets dumped out to the floor, so Sasha does an awesome spot. The ref is leaning between the top and middle ropes to look at Bayley on the floor. As he does that, Banks runs and flips off of the ref and onto Bayley on the floor.
Back in the ring, Banks gets Bayley locked in her Bank Statement submission finisher as the fans go nuts. Bayley reverses it. Banks gets her foot on the ropes to break the hold. The crowd goes nuts again with “NXT! NXT!” chants.
Bayley hits the Bayley-to-belly suplex for a close near fall. The fans break out into a loud “This Is Awesome!” chant. Bayley goes for a huracanrana off the top rope but Banks just shoves her. This results in Bayley taking a very bad, awkward looking landing. Banks simply jumps off the ropes onto Bayley and splashes on her, but Bayley kicks out during the pin attempt.
The two go back to the top rope and this time they hit an insane move. Bayley does like a backwards huracanrana to Banks. She follows that up with a Bayley-to-belly suplex. 1-2-3. We have a new NXT Women’s Champion.
Winner and NEW NXT Women’s Champion: Bayley
