The night kicked off with the two teams for the women’s WarGames match meeting on the stage with and women getting in a brawl. Finally, Kay Lee Ray and Dakota Kai were ready to battle in the ladder match.
Kai and KLR got going right away. Lee Ray hit Kai with a Superkick and took control of the contest early.
The fight spilled over to the floor where Kai hit KLR with a DDT on the steel steps. Both women used the ladder as a weapon against each other.
The Captain of Team Kick trapped KLR in a turnbuckle and nearly knocked her out with a double foot stomp. She targeted Lee Ray’s knee in hopes of keeping her off the ladder.
Lee Ray hit a KLR bomb on the announcers table and tried to get to the top. Her injury gave Kai enough time to catch up, hit a Coup de Grace off the ladder, and nearly pick up the win.
However, the former NXT UK Women’s Champion regained enough strength to knock out Kai with a superkick and climb the ladder to retrieve the briefcase. The match was fantastic and gave NXT a good start this week.
Kai and KLR were phenomenal and they gave it their all. Fans will hope to see them perform at this level once again at NXT TakeOver: WarGames.
