WWE/NXT Takeover: Vengeance Day

-Dusty Rhodes Women's Tag Team Classic Tournament:  Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez d. Ember Moon & "The Ballsy Badass" Shotzi Blackheart to win the tournament when Raquel pinned Shotzi after the chokeslam bomb.
-Johnny Gargano(w/ "The Poison Pixie" Candice LeRae, "All Day" Austin Theory, & Indi Hartwell) d. "The Timesplitter" Yujiro Kushida with the One Final Beat(slingshot DDT) to retain the NXT North American Title.
-Dusty Rhodes Men's Tag Team Classic Tournament:  The Mean Street Kids(Wes Lee & Nash Carter) d. The Grizzled Young Veterans("Liverpool's #1" Zack Gibson & "Mr. Mayhem" James Drake) to win the tournament; Lee pinned Drake after he and Carter hit a spinebuster/second-rope twisting Buff Blockbuster combo.
-"The Genius Of The Sky" Io Shirai won a triple threat match with Toni Storm and "The Latina Sensation" Mercedes Martinez to retain the NXT Women's Title; Toni hit Martinez with a swandive headbutt, but Shirai broke up the pin with the moonsault and pinned Martinez for the win.
-NXT's newest signing:  Eli Drake, now known as L.A. Knight!
-Finn Bálor d. "The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne with the 1916(elevated DDT/brainbuster) to retain the NXT Title.  NXT Tag Team Champions Oney Lorcan & "The Guv'nor" Danny Burch helped Dunne attack Bálor after the match, but The Undisputed Era(Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, & Kyle O'Reilly) made the save.  It looked like they would stand tall to close the show, but then Cole superkicked Bálor.  O'Reilly protested Cole's actions and Cole superkicked O'Reilly as well, leaving Strong unsure who to support as Cole left the ring.
