After the dust settles from WWE's boffo introductory packages, we get right down to business. Tyson Kidd hits the ramp to get things going?
Finn Balor vs. Tyson Kidd
Kidd takes in all of his heel heat and the Finn Balor arrives to a raucous welcome from the crowd. Balor charges Kidd right off the bell and lands a beautiful dropkick. Kidd tries to escape more but Balor works him into a corner and roughs him up. Kidd leaves the ring and Finn pursues him on the ramp. They get back to the ring and Kidd tries to escape again. When Balor gives chase, Kidd dodges him and capitalizes, gaining the upper hand. Tyson brings Balor back into the ring and takes him apart on the mat. An elbow drop follows a neck breaker. Kidd has this one in control. He puts Balor on the "Tree of Woe" and works him over a bunch of different ways before putting him up and over with a suplex. Finn ends up in a submission move on the mat but powers out and lands a sweet Pele kick. Balor gets into the zone, delivers a running/spinning neckbreaker and when Kidd ends up outside the ring, Balor comes at him by air and takes him out. Kidd gets back on top when they return to the ring, applying the sharpshooter but Balor won't tap. He grabs the ropes, prompting a break. Balor ends up landing a lifting/underhook DDT and a splash off the rope, followed by a three-count.
Result: Finn Balor defeats Tyson Kidd via pinfall.
After the bell, we see a package recapping the Sami Zayn/Adrian Neville feud. They're meeting in the ring tonight.
Bull Dempsey offers a promo indicating he'll get the better of Baron Corbin when they collide here in a bit. Sounds promising.
Bull Dempsey vs. Baron Corbin
Dempsey leads with a big kick to the guy but Corbin stays on his feet and returns fire. Dempsy slides outside for a break but Corbin isn't having that. Corbin gets him back in the ring and they battle a bit. Dempsey miscalculates, missing a flying headbutt and Corbin capitalizes, putting Bull out of commission for good and getting the pinfall win.

Natalya and Charlotte get a nice greeting from the live crowd and Charlotte rewards the accolades with a cartwheel outside. Natalya and beck start out. Becky manages to hold pace with Nattie and the crowd is evenly divided with their chants. Natalya rolls her opponent up for a near fall. They battle by the ropes and Nattie peppers Becky with punches until Lynch bails. There's a scrum outside the ring and everyone gets back inside. Charlotte comes in briefly and then Nattie comes back in. Becky gets a tag and Nattie gets all over Sasha until The Boss mounts a decent comeback. Charlotte gets tagged in and the women battle back and forth. Becky provides a momentary distraction and Sasha manages to roll Charlotte up for the pin, grabbing a handful of tights until the ref counts three. It's over.

NXT Championship Match: Sami Zayn vs. Adrian Neville
Sami Zayne offers a handshake before it all goes down and Neville is all in favor. In the initial minute or so, neither man gets a clear advantage. Zayne eventually works Neville into a headlock but then Neville explodes with some high-octane moves, including a mondo flying headscissors. Zayne hits some high-flying jazz next, putting Adrian on the canvas with a dropkick. Neville wants to slow it down and jacks his jaw but Zayne isn't having it and whacks him. Neville gets fired up and puts Sami out on to the floor and then goes at him with a big flying dive. After a quick commercial, Neville has things back in the ring and he's in the dominant position. But he can't keep Zayn down for long and Sami comes at him off the top rope. Neville stays in the hunt, garnering a near fall. Zayne gets the Blue Thunder Bomb off and racks up his own near fall. He continues his offensive series two German suplexes and goes for a half-and-half but Neville escapes. Adrian blasts the champ with his own series of powerful moves but Sami won't stay down. He does look hurt, though, and Neville gives the ref a chance to evaluate him. Zayn erupts a DDT and gets a half-and-half suplex. Neville goes outside and Sami comes at him but Neville lands a well-timed kick to the face to stop the onslaught.
Back in the ring, the men have a pulse-pounding back-and-forth battler that is capped when Zayn connects with a running boot to the face. After the pinfall, Zayn is still champ.
Result: Sami Zayn wins via pinfall.
Post-match, Kevin Owens mounts another ambush. He lays out Zayn, surveys the damage and leaves. Seems like he's taken those instructions on Stone Cold's t-shirt rather literally.
