Jax during her matchNXT is usually the best part of an entire WWE show filled week. This week WWE has picked up its game with a memorable PPV, a great RAW and a very promising NXT show. This week we had to bid adieu to the most gorgeoous NXT talent in the past few years of its meteoric rise.Tyler Breeze has been putting over stars in NXT and has set quite a trend. Nia Jax was impressive and showed signs of becoming someone great. Dana and Emma are certainly performers who deserve much better opportunities.This was a memorable show, mostly because Breeze is not going to be a regular anymore.Here are the 5 points to note-
#1 Emma and Dana dominate
Trending
Remember how at Takeover: Brooklyn, Emma won to the pleasant surprise of the fans? It seemed like finally, the Australian diva will catch a break. She’s been doing really well as a heel but hasn’t been able to get a breakthrough moment.
This week she defeated an NXT newcomer in Shazza McKenzie with authority, and it was important for her to look that dominant now that she’s in line to face Asuka next.
It’ll be interesting if she somehow gets the upper hand against Asuka and their feud continues
While Emma breezed through her match, Dana Brooke was brilliant ringside. Her momentum has been stagnant since Eva Marie became the new favorite amongst the management for the typical story arc of a model turned wrestler.
But she has momentously improved her character and not to forget, even in defeat she was impressive in taking all of that offense from Asuka.
Surely, she deserves better as she stays on in developmental. Even without an independent wrestling background, in fact, even without a proper wrestling background she’s doing pretty well.
#2 Squashing Away
We saw Nia Jax for the second time and again she dominated her way through it. The commentators brought forth a slice of her family history and she was also wearing a new outfit.
Hopefully, WWE won’t have more squash matches. A few of these matches are alright to establish her dominance, but having that consistently may become a problem. Jax certainly has a certain screen presence that demands attention.
Hopefully, NXT will develop her into a long lasting character.
#3 The Tag Team Scene
Dash and Dawson faced the most popular tag team in NXT and came out looking stronger than ever. They certainly looked like one of the best additions to the tag team division. This match and their performances during the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic are things that move you forward.
On the other hand Gable and Jordan too had a great showing in a match that was immensely well received by the NXT’s loyal audience. This is something the likes of only Enzo Amore and Big Cass have been able to achieve.
#4 Goodbye Breeze
Tyler Breeze lost his match to Samoa Joe. That was sort of predictable since Breeze made his debut on the main roster a week back but what a huge void he’ll be leaving behind. He was an NXT faithful for years.
He’s been there for so long, we’d become so used to his gorgeous presence. It seemed like someday he’ll get the Sami Zayn-esque moment and win the NXT Championship but now he’s been promoted to the main roster.
He’s lost to so many other big names in NXT but it hadn’t hampered his presence. We’ll surely miss the King of Selfies.
#5 Samoa Joe moves ahead
Now that Samoa Joe won his match against Tyler Breeze, it seems he’s an obvious shoo-in into the main event scene involving the NXT Championship. Finn Balor delivered one of his strongest promos till date.
Apollo Crews is doing well and he’ll look strong even in his well predicted defeat. What we’re moving into is something bigger in the form of a storyline between Samoa Joe and Finn Balor.
That may be the feud that sets the ball rolling on a Balor heel turn.
