This was the first match of the show and this was one of the most highly anticipated matches of the entire show and Mustafa Ali was the special guest referee for this match as well. This match was an incredible wrestling match from 2 top tier talents and they wrestled for 13 minutes and in those 13 minutes Tyler Bate came so close to winning the title but it was Wes Lee who showed why he is the champion and he retained the NXT North American Championship and the tension between those 3 men was visible after the match as well.
