So no one else saw NXT's fire of a Episode this Week? Balor vs Cole was a hell of an opener with two different eras of NXT clashing vs each other showing who is the best. Both guys took some to get going, but when they did some great stuff between the two. I knew Gargano would show up thought he would show up at the last Takeover, but we are in for a treat when Gargano and Balor finally meet. Match of the Year quality stuff I feel coming between the two. Priest had a one hard fought win over Dain this Week one of his best showings under the circumstances. Dain worked to death his Rib injury and Priest sold really well and overcame the pain to beat Dain!
I'm not happy with Grimes getting a win over KUSHIDA this Week guys. KUSHIDA just came back, his only loss was against Walter and yet you have him lose to Grimes just stupid I feel. Grimes I've seen in Impact and that Wrestler vs Grimes in NXT is the same I feel. Actually Impact let him talk and create some kind of Character and I don't see anything special going on with him so far. The last thing I wanna see is KUSHIDA just being there as a talent they can do big things with him if they use him the right way. Shirai vs Garrett. Oh hey Io people forgot about you it seems because it's felt like she hasn't been on in Months. Good to see her get a win in a good showing vs Santana this Week. The money Match for me is Rhea vs Io let's do it people!
Banks vs Dunne. A World's Collide Preview that had Banks looking like a star again, but losing to Dunne. I would say it's one of his best performances for Banks. WWE has wanted to see this from him since signing him more of that from Banks is a good thing for sure.
Baszler vs Ripley. What a great payoff in this very good Main Event this Week. Rhea was put through the Waters throughout and kept her Will strong and it was never broken. I thought quite a few times Rhea was finished and somehow she was able to keep going. Rhea winning cleans the board for fresh matchups and I can't wait to see her future as NXT Women's Champion going forward.
