WWE NXT Arrival Results (2/27): New Champion Crowned, HBK Appearance, Technical Problems

We get a shot of Ric Flair and daughter, NXT Diva Charlotte, sitting in the audience. Stephanie McMahon then comes out to the ring for a promo and the crowd leads off with a "You've still got it!" chant. Steph, like a pro, responds with "Ladies and gentlemen…I never lost it." Stephanie says she feels privileged to introduce the next generation of WWE Divas, and we're ready for the NXT Diva's Championship Match between Paige and Emma.

Paige (c) vs Emma

*NXT Diva's Championship Match

Bell sounds and Paige walks right up to Emma. They push each other until Emma tackles her. They tie up back to back at the elbows and do a couple reversals. Paige gets a quick pinfall, but Emma kicks out quickly. Paige follows with a dropkick and another quick pin — another kickout.

Bodyslam by Paige to Emma and another quick cover and kickout. Emma tries to work herself back to her feet but Paige drops her back down into a headlock. Paige attempts another bodyslam, but Emma reverses and tries to run Paige into the corner. Paige reverses near the corner and delivers a few hard back elbows, dropping Emma down. Emma works herself back to her feet and ducks a clothesline and slams Paige down to the ground.

Emma does a slingshot into an attempted Emmalock, but Paige gets out of it. Paige then goes back on to the offensive and delivers some hard knees to Emma's face from outside the ring on the apron (Emma's head was hanging to the outside in between the second and top rope).

Emma ends up gaining control and does her spider tie-up in the ropes, then runs and lands an 'Emma Sandwich" in the corner. Emma then works a couple of different submissions in the middle of the ring, pulling both of Paige's arms back behind her and pushing her knee (and then feet) into Paige's back.

Emma throws Paige across the ring by her hair and then stomps her in the corner. Pinfall on Paige, but a kickout at two. Paige gains control but only for a second. Emma then goes up on to the top rope, Paige punches her and tries to reverse into a superplex, but Emma reverses that into a sitdown powerbomb. Pinfall, but Paige kicks out at two.

Paige hits her finisher — the 'Paige Turner' — out of nowhere, but Emma somehow kicks out! Paige ends up applying some sort of crazy looking submission move (she does sort of a half Sharpshooter and then ties up the arms and lifts Emma completely off the ground all tangled). Regal called it a "scorpion crosslock". Emma taps out and Paige picks up the victory.

WINNER & STILL NXT DIVA'S CHAMPION: Paige

Following the match, the two divas also hug.
