Candice LeRae and Io Shirai vs Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have to mention how much I actually liked Shafir and Duke\u2019s entrance theme and I\u2019m a fan of Shafir\u2019s gear. Their entrance made them seem like an actual threat. Shirai and LeRae did great of course. I quite enjoyed Shirai doing the elbow stomp while looking directly at Shayna Baszler. That was a nice little bit of psychology. Despite a few clunky moments in the match, Duke and Shafir did quite well and the no-contest finish was perfect to keep this feud going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winner: No Contest<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dream On<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Velveteen Dream really be putting those non-PG innuendos in his promos and I\u2019m here for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kushida vs Drew Gulak-Submission Match<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drew Gulak for an even better NXT? Both of these men\nare spectacular at mat-based wrestling, both in technique itself and in making\nit entertaining. There were so many awesome reversals too. Submission matches\naren\u2019t usually high on my list of favorite stipulations but this was one of the\nbest ones I\u2019ve seen in recent memory. Also gotta love the mutual show of\nrespect at the end!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winner: Kushida<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grade: A-<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Study Up, Mia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tend to find catty girl hate rather offputting but it fits the characters of Vanessa Borne and Aliyah so well that it doesn\u2019t even bother me. Borne had me weak with the textbooks she got for Mia Yim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grade: B<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong vs Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This match was very good, as to be expected with the participants. Strong is a freaking cardio machine and it\u2019s impressive to say the least. O\u2019Reilly makes every move he takes look devastating too. I didn\u2019t mind the interruption by Jaxson Ryker as it kept Strong looking good even though he took the pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winner: Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grade: B+<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a solid episode of NXT. It pumped some more life into the women\u2019s title picture. Bobby Fish is hurt again so that\u2019s not cool. But yeah, solid show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
