Two huge matches that were originally scheduled for the cancelled TakeOver: Tampa event aired on NXT last night, and the show kicked off with a hard-hitting Ladder Match to crown a new No. 1 contender for the NXT Women's Championship.

Io Shirai, Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai, Tegan Nox, Mia Yim and Chelsea Green went to war for the opportunity to challenge Charlotte Flair for her newly won title, and there was no holding back - even without a live crowd to witness the carnage.

All six Superstars had their hands on the gold at various points in the match, but in the end it was Shirai who managed to unhook the briefcase and book her date with The Queen.

We have no idea when that match will happen under the current conditions, but Flair took to social media after the bout to "congratulate" her new No. contender, and believes the only thing The Genius of the Sky has to look forward to is a Figure-8!
