Ember Moon will be unable to compete at NXT: Takeover Chicago due to injury caused by Asuka but when she returns she will be better than ever. Is this a kayfabe injury or is this a real injury? Well, no matter she will come back with a bang. Let's go to the Sasha Banks versus Alicia Fox match which wasn't very long it was a two-minute match. The match started with both women trash talking and a slap by Fox and another slap by Banks soon after the slap they started to throw some punches. Alicia Fox dominated throughout the match when Banks would get momentum Fox would use her power to stop it. Banks on the top rope and goes for a double knee and pins Fox. During a backstage segment with Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax, Jax asks Bliss if she meant what she said about her last week. Reluctantly Bliss says yes and Nia Jax asks for a title shot after Bliss finishes with Bayley. Scared Alexa says that she is unable to make matches but she will talk the general manager Kurt Angle. Nia officially declares herself Bliss's best friend ... well for now until she title match. Mickie James dominated in the beginning of the match, but Alexa began to work on James's left arm. Both women were accompanied Alexa Bliss by Nia Jax and Mickie James by Bayley. As Mickie James makes her way to the top rope Jax grabs her leg and gets kicked by James and jumped by Bayley but the distraction worked because Alexa Bliss took advantage and pinned Mickie James throughout this match the crowd was doing Bayley chants. After the match, Alexa continued her assault on James but then Bayley chased Bliss to the back while Mickie James was still on the mat in the ring. Nia Jax entered the ring to attack Mickie James leaving her body in the ring when she was done. How long will this "friendship" last? Will Mickie James be dominant in this run with WWE? will Ember Moon make to Takeover? Will Bayley get the championship back from Alexa Bliss?
