NXT Women's Champion Asuka believes no one on the roster is ready to challenge her - but Ember Moon may have other ideas.

The Texan wrestler backed up her win over Billie Kay at TakeOver: Brooklyn II in August by downing Leah Von with a twisting Stunner on Wednesday night.

Moon could now be in line for a shot at Asuka, who is need of a fresh opponent after defeating Bayley and seeing her signed to Monday Night Raw.

Elsewhere, NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakaumura overcame Steve Cutler while the man he beat in Brooklyn to claim the title, Samoa Joe, watched on from the announce desk.

Austin Aries knocked off Andrade "Cien" Almas, despite complaining that he was struggling to hear after recently being struck by a Go To Sleep from Hideo Itami.

Plus, Australian tag team TM61 (Shane Thorne and Nick Miller) vanquished Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari with Thunder Valley.
