 Tatum Paxley & Gigi Dolin def. Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley and Jacy Jane), Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez, and The Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson) in a WWE Women's Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contender's Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Elimination MatchYes, this was an obvious attempt to get as many people on the card as possible by throwing a bunch of teams in a Fatal 4-Way tag match, but at least they made it meaningful by putting a shot at the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship on the line. Plus, this ended up being a treat for what it was despite the elimination stipulation being unnecessary. Perez felt out of place as she should've been on the main card, but at least she and Jade seemingly cemented their split with Perez walking out on Jade. Paxley and Dolin will challenge for the tag titles on Tuesday's NXT, which will also be emanating from Las Vegas.

 Stephanie Vaquer def. Fallon Henley to Win the NXT Women's North American ChampionshipI haven't been a fan of the Fatal Influence stable, but Henley has been a consistent bright spot with her in-ring work. She and Vaquer put together an entertaining opener that the crowd was hot for. Henley had a decent run as champion, but Vaquer taking the title was the right call. I don't know about the rest of Fatal Influence, but Henley belongs on the main roster if they can find a spot for her.
 Oba Femi def. NXT Tag Team Champion Nathan Frazer, Wes Lee, Ethan Page and Je'Von Evans in an NXT Championship No. 1 Contender's Iron Survivor Challenge MatchOf the three men's Iron Survivor Challenge matches we've gotten so far, this was probably the weakest, but it was still a lot of fun, especially once they picked up the pace in the second half. It was nicely structured with everyone getting at least one fall and Femi (who replaced the "injured" Eddy Thorpe) dominating once he came in. Femi scoring two falls at once made for a cool finish. I can totally see Femi dethroning Williams for the NXT Championship at New Year's Evil so Williams can get called up to the main roster right after.
 NXT North American Champion Tony D'Angelo def. Oba Femi in a Tables, Ladders and Scares MatchI didn't really think about it until someone brought it up to me recently, but WWE hasn't done a TLC match on the main roster since the TLC pay-per-view was still around four years ago. However, there's been a few of these Tables, Ladders and Scares (TLS for short) matches in NXT since then and this was a good one with both men making the most of the stipulation. Why not have the belt hang from the ceiling like it does in a TLC matchup? That would've prevented Femi from eating the clean pinfall loss, but at least it was a nice endorsement of D'Angelo.
 Nathan Frazer and Axiom def. Chase U (Andre Chase and Ridge Holland) to Win the NXT Tag Team ChampionshipWhile I enjoyed the first two matches in the series between these teams slightly more, this was still a strong opener. Frazer and Axiom have developed fantastic chemistry as partners this year and Chase U are always able to get the crowd behind them. Despite the babyface vs. babyface dynamic, the fans in attendance were into the action. The title change was a surprise because Chase U's tag title reign was also brief. Holland's heel turn has been in the works for a while and it came off well afterward.
