(NXT Takeover: Tampa)

NXT Takeover was going live at Tampa, Florida; Alexa has organized the match card herself for the show, and as leader, she used her power to protect the world champions Chase and Dario from defending their titles. The match card were as follows:

Tegan Nox vs. Dakota Kai - Singles match

Bliss Republic (Josh Stevens and Elleon Astralis) (c) vs. Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven and Tyler Bate) - Tag team match for the Raw Tag Team Championship

Travis Sharp vs. Ricochet - Singles match

The Brotherhood (Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens) vs. Bliss Republic (Finn Balor and Seth Rollins) - Tag team match

Alex Auditore (c) vs. Randy Orton - Singles match for the United States Championship with Alexa Bliss as special guest referee

Alex was trying to get ready for his match but he couldn't shake that ominous message with the laughter. He joined the rest of the Brotherhood and the members were concerned.

Kofi: dude, we don't even know what happened yesterday

Pete: whoever it is, they want to bring us down

Rhea: Alexa mentioned that the Republic answers to a higher power

Alex: all she told me is that the higher power will make an appearance during my match against Randy

Tegan: be careful

Alex: don't worry

Rhea: Tegan, your match is first

The Shiniest Wizard nodded and left for her match against her former best friend, the Captain of Team Kick Dakota Kai.

(I am gonna fast forward the matches)

The two former Fly Kick members traded shot after shot. Dakota got Tegan up for the Go To Kick and hits it, sending Tegan stumbling to the ropes, but Lady Kane fired back with a sudden Shiniest Wizard from the ropes and went for the pin and the victory. Tegan has gotten retribution on her former BFF.

In the Republic's locker room, the group weren't too pleased with Dakota's loss.

Alexa: it's alright, it's just a minor setback, but it's just the first match, we still have nearly all the titles, so Josh, Elleon you better win this

Elleon: not to worry

Josh: Elleon and I will not be defeated

The Raw Tag Team Champions left the locker room, but what Elleon and the Republic don't know is that the Fallen Warrior and his IIconic Venus Flytrap wife has a trump card. Peyton and Sasha accompanied their men to the ring.

(Elleon and Josh vs. Trent and Tyler)

Elleon and Josh were on the same page following that slight miscommunication on SmackDown.

Tyler and Josh started off the match with the usual lock up followed by the wrestling sequence. Josh leveled Tyler with a vicious shoulder block and dragged the first WWE United Kingdom Champion to his corner and tagged in Elleon. The Shadow Ninja went to work on Tyler, but the Big Strong Boi manage to go on the offense.

(End of match)

With Tyler down on the outside, the Republic looks to end the match. Josh was holding Trent for Elleon to hit the Amaterasu, the Shadow Ninja launched from the ropes and looks to hit the knee, but the Artful Dodger ducked out of the way so the impact of Elleon's knee hit Josh instead. Elleon was upset, but managed to avoid an attempted Seven Stars Lariat from Trent to hit a superkick.
