Asuka, Nikki Cross, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay came to blows on NXT three nights before they battle for the Women's Title at TakeOver.

Reigning champion Asuka rushed to the ring towards the end of Wednesday's show in Orlando to confront her three weekend challengers.

Royce and Kay fled from the squared circle of their own accord and were then dumped out after returning by Asuka and Scottish star Cross.

Asuka and Cross then became embroiled in all out-brawl, which officials struggled to contain and ended when Cross jumped onto the champion - and a host of security personnel - from the top rope.

Elsewhere, Ember Moon boosted her hopes of a future Women's Title shot by downing Liv Morgan with a corkscrew stunner she calls the Eclipse.

No Way Jose beat Kona Reeves with a powerful right hand - and Elias Samson suffered the same after charging at the Dominican.

Plus, SAnitY leader Eric Young conquered Chris Atkins with a wheelbarrow neckbreaker - before getting his latest recruit, Northern Ireland's Killian Dain, to pummel Atkins further.
