Jade and Jayne kicked off the match and Cora got a big sequence of moves early on before getting a near fall. Dolin tagged in and was isolated by Perez and Jade, but Jayne came in with a cheap shot and took back control for her team.
Back after a break on NXT, Dolin got a near fall on Perez before tagging in Jayne who locked in a submission hold. Perez broke out of the hold and tagged Cora for a double-team dropkick before Mandy Rose dragged the referee out of the ring to break the count.
The referee took his eye off the match and sent Rose backstage while Jayne nearly got the pin but it was reversed thanks to the distraction. The champs were still in control but Jade speared Jayne out of the ring before Perez managed to get the Pop Rox on Dolin for the win.
Result: Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade def. Toxic Attraction to become the new NXT Women's Tag Team Champions

Lee started off strong and got a leg sweep before taking Trick down with a kick. Trick got a powerslam out of the corner before Lee sent him outside with another kick and chased after him before Carmelo Hayes got in his way.
While Lee was distracted by Melo, Williams poured something in his hands from a bottle before rubbing it into Wes Lee's eyes in the ring. The commentators deduced that the liquid must have been rubbing alcohol when Trick landed a spinning kick in the ring and picked up the win.
