In the end, The Man of the Hour countered the Wing Clipper and rolled up Garza to get the three count. The main event of the episode saw NXT Champion Adam Cole put on a clinic with Kushida. The show would conclude with Tommaso Ciampa confronting the leader of The Undisputed Era and hyping up their TakeOver: Portland match.
