NXT Women's Championship

Charlotte (w/ Ric Flair) vs Natalya (w/ Bret Hart)

Nattie gets a near fall, then she goes for a quick submission before armdragging Charlotte and getting a victory roll for two. Charlotte slams her head on the mat but Nattie goes for an armbreaker submission, then Charlotte gets out and slaps her before Nattie slaps her back. Nattie rolls her up for two before Charlotte knees her a few times, then Flair jumps on the apron and 'woos' at Nattie, pissing Bret off in the process. Nattie goes for a headlock but Charlotte counters with a jawbreaker, then she applies a Figure Four headlock but Nattie reverses it and goes for a backslide pin. Nattie suplexes her and snapmares her, hitting a seated dropkick before sending her outside.

Charlotte pulls Nattie off the apron by the leg and slams her on the floor, then she goes for a moonsault but Nattie rolls away. Nattie hits a discus clothesline, then she applies a Sharpshooter but Charlotte rolls through, countering with a Figure Four before they both try to gain leverage. Nattie reverses it a few times but Charlotte resumes control and they slap each other, then Charlotte applies the hold hanging over the apron before kicking Nattie's knee and slamming her into the steps. Charlotte throws Nattie back in the ring and puts her in the Sharpshooter, but Nattie counters and goes for her own Sharpshooter, only to have Charlotte kick her in the head and hit the a somersault cutter for the win.

Winner and NEW NXT Women's Champion – Charlotte

BP: Great match. These two put on a hell of a show; it had action and good ring psychology. Flair and Hart's interaction was kept to a minimum, save for a postmatch handshake between themselves and the ladies. Wrestling may be predetermined, but the real emotion Charlotte and Ric showed wasn't.
