Winner: Drew McIntyre, by pinfall.

- Shinsuke Nakamura Says Goodbye: Nakamura says he came in a year ago from Japan, already had plenty of wrestling experience, but wanted to challenge himself. Nakamura says he's learned a lot from everyone in NXT, NXT is it's own brand with its energy and that makes NXT different. Nakamura says the NXT Universe is crazy with its singing, chants, pure passion and calls NXT "Our Style". Nakamura says he will always be NXT because WE ARE NXT! Nakamura dances and celebrates with the fans as the NXT locker room clears out to show their respect to Nakamura. Nakamura bows with respect to NXT GM William Regal and the whole roster and then gets a hug from a surprise appearance by Finn Balor to end the show.
