Ciampa then leaped over the ropes and knocked down Breakker on the outside. He then rolled Breakker in and followed suit with Ziggler, and then he hit Ziggler and Breakker with forearms before getting knocked down with a hard knee by Ziggler, though Breakker then cleared Ziggler and slammed him down.

Breakker picked up Ziggler and hit a Power Slam, but then Robert Roode pulled the referee out of the ring as Breakker was about to get the win. Breakker dealt with Roode and Ciampa was up and hit the Fairytale Ending on Breakker. Ziggler then moved in and cleared out Ciampa as Breakker kicked out of the pin. Ciampa then hit a knee to the face of Breakker, and hit Ciampa and that cleared the way for Ziggler to pin Ciampa and win the NXT Championship. Ziggler is now your NXT Champion.
