Ethan Page Def. Mr. Iguana

- Iguana played dead to begin the match as the crowd ate it up. Ethan spun him around to immense laughter. “He’s dead!” said Ethan before Iguana sprung to life. Fans chanted “Oh Mr. Iguana!” As an outsider who is immediately over with a WWE audience.

- Ethan removed La Yesca from Mr. Iguana’s hand, spat on it and tossed La Yesca to the outside. Massive heat. Mr. Iguana fired up after the dastardly act, but Ethan Page cut him off. The two battled atop the turnbuckle, and Mr. Iguana hit a hurricanrana. Iguana followed up with a second hurricanrana outside of the ring.
- Back inside the ring, Page hit a Twisted Grin for the win. There wasn’t a wasted motion in this match. Mr. Iguana might be the biggest star in NXT.

- The Culling circled Tatum Paxley to begin the match. Tatum teased reuniting with Izzi Dame, but Tatum promptly attacked Izzi and sent her flying outside of the ring.

- Dame controlled the match as she hit a backbreaker on Paxley. Fans rallied behind Paxley with loud “let’s go Tatum” chants. Paxley got back into the match after catching Dame in a tilt-a-whirl sleeper. Paxley held on for dear life before Dame backed her into a corner.
- “Tatum” chants filled the Boeing center followed by chants of “Izzi sucks.” This was positioned as the popcorn spot between a Mr. Iguana match and the men’s Iron Survivor Challenge, but it had all the heat of a main event.
- Izzi Dame taunted Tatum while in full control of the match, but the demented Paxley laughed it off. Paxley launched a spirited comeback against Dame as the Texas crowd cheered her on. Dame thwarted Paxley’s comeback and tried a superplex. Paxley fought her off, but ate a dropkick in midair after trying a cross body.
- “Let’s go Tatum” chants started up once again. Dame and Paxley exchanged strikes. Paxley got the better of the exchange and followed up with a diving cross body on Dame between the middle and bottom ropes. Paxley set Dame up on the table. Fans chanted “Do it!” Paxley hit a Psycho Trap on the announce table. Before she could go in for the pin, Shawn Spears gave her two dolls. Tatum was transfixed. Spears ripped the head out of the black-haired doll. The distraction led to the Boot of Dame and the Dame over for the win.

- Je’Von Evans exploded out of the penalty box and ran wild on everybody. Evans hit a Frog Splash on Borne for a nearfall. Joe Hendry appeared as the final entry of the night.
