Jade Cargill def. Roxanne Perez - Queen of the Ring Semifinal
Jade Cargill is headed to WWE Night of Champions as she defeated Roxanne Perez to advance to the final of the Queen of the Ring Tournament.
Perez’s game plan was evident as she did her best to avoid the clutches of Cargill and feel her power, but it backfired as she couldn’t escape her.
As Cargill attempted to drag Perez back into the ring, The Prodigy slipped out and crushed her opponent’s leg between the steel steps and the ring post.
With Cargill’s leg compromised, Perez did her best to end the match quickly, but she couldn’t keep her opponent down as Cargill caught her in mid-air and planted her with a chokeslam.
The Prodigy countered Jaded and launched an assault by using her quick-strike offense, but her attempt at Pop Rox was countered into a Powerbomb and a successful Jaded that gave Cargill the victory.
Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch def. Bayley via Disqualification
The Women’s Intercontinental Championship remains with Becky Lynch after Lyra Valkyria interrupted her title match against Bayley.
As members of the original NXT Four Horsewomen, Bayley and Lynch knew each other almost too well as the two Superstars traded moves in a stalemate.
Bayley went for a high-risk maneuver as she climbed to the top rope, but it backfired as The Man twisted her arm, causing Bayley to tumble to the floor in agony.
Despite a compromised left arm, Bayley battled through the pain and even hit a Bayley-to-Belly, but it wasn’t enough to win the title.
The champion powered through the rally from the challenger and hit a huge superplex, but Lynch couldn’t lock in the Dis-arm-her and even found herself trapped in a Boston crab submission.
The two took their fight to the outside where Valkyria appeared and helped Bayley at first, but she quickly attacked the champion and forced the disqualification.

Cody Rhodes def. Jey Uso - King of the Ring Semifinal
Cody Rhodes has a chance to become King of the Ring as he defeated Jey Uso in a hotly contested matchup between friends.
Uso and Rhodes traded early strikes, but The American Nightmare delivered the first serious blow as he locked his opponent in a Figure-Four that tore at Uso’s knees.
After enduring a sleeper hold that nearly submitted him, Rhodes countered an Uso Splash by hopping to the top turnbuckle from the canvas and launching Uso with a superplex.
The frenetic pace saw Rhodes miss a Disaster Kick and walk into a Spear, but not even that was enough to end the thrilling bout.
Rhodes upped the ante by hitting a Super Cody Cutter, but his Cross Rhodes was countered into Uso’s own Cross Rhodes for a two-count.
Uso delivered a pair of Superkicks and another Spear, but Rhodes once again jumped to the top rope to neutralize the Uso Splash and execute another Super Cody Cutter.
With the crowd in a frenzy, Rhodes hit Cross Rhodes to win the match and earn a chance at the King of the Ring crown.
