Meta-Four helps Noam Dar retain WWE NXT Heritage Cup, but Alpha Academy gets sweet revenge
Alpha Academy's Akira Tozawa took his shot at Noam Dar's Heritage Cup on tonight's WWE NXT, and Dar had his work cut out for him. In their previous 7 meetings, Dar had never defeated Tozawa, and now Dar's vaunted Heritage Cup was on the line. In a rare occurrence, Meta-Four did not have the numbers advantage, as Alpha Academy was also at ringside, and that would come into play later. Dar got the first pin but Tozawa would make Dar tap for the second.

Then he added insult to injury by getting a cheap shot in after the bell without the referee seeing it. Dar looked to stay in command but Tozawa stayed in the fight, though he took some damage when Dar kicked the ropes and knocked him off the turnbuckle.
Tozawa then hit two big kicks in the corner and a slam on Dar before going for a pin, but Dar kicked out. Dar connected with a back elbow and went for the pin, but Tozawa kicked out. Tozawa got Dar down on the mat for a pin, but Dar kicked out. Then Tozawa hit the German Suplex into a bridge, but Dar managed to kick out again. Dar then tried to lock in a knee bar, but Tozawa shifted the weight and suplexed him. Tozawa hit a roundhouse and then went up top, but Mensah tried to interfere.
