NXT TakeOver: In Your House 2021 – Mercedes Martinez vs. Xia Li Match Result

Xia Li faced Mercedes Martinez at NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

Xia has waited four years to get revenge on Martinez for defeating her in the first round of the inaugural Mae Young Classic. The challenge was made by Li on June 2nd, just one week after she had marked Mercedes. 

Since undergoing her transformation into a true warrior under Tian Sha, Xia Li has gone undefeated.

Here is a rundown of what happened during and after the match:

Xia Li (w/ Tian Sha) vs Mercedes Martinez

Xia and Mercedes immediately lock up and spill out of the ring before Mercedes hits a back drop and beats on Xia in the corner before hitting a fall away slam and Xia chokes her in the ropes before sending her into the post. Xia stretches Mercedes around the post before kicking Mercedes through the ropes and down onto the floor before accidentally kicking the post when Mercedes ducks before Xia drops Mercedes with a knee and Mercedes hits a butterfly suplex. Mercedes then hits several knees before BOA pulls Xia out of the ring and gets between her and Mercedes before Mercedes shoves him out of the way and tosses Xia back inside the ring before Xia hits a whirlwind kick for the pin and the win.

Winner: Xia Li defeats Mercedes Martinez via pinfall.

After the match Mercedes attacks Xia and BOA with a chair before Mei makes her way down the ramp and throws Mercedes off of the side of the ramp and into the barricade.
