Triple H kicking off this week's Monday Night RAW by introducing some well-known names from NXT was a bit unexpected.

Ricochet had a promising showing by teaming up with Finn Balor to fight against Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush.

While Ricochet has a lot to prove in the future, we all know that a superstar has to be as impressive on the microphone as he or she is in the ring (most of the time). What separates Ricochet from others? Remember, this is the main roster we are talking about.

Ciampa and Gargano teamed up to face The Revival. The DIY reunion was quite unexpected as well. Both of them are currently on the same page, but the reunion came a bit earlier than expected.

Their match itself was pretty decent. Ciampa has a lot more to show that he let on during last night's show, and the fact that Triple H pre-announced all the NXT Superstars at the beginning of the episode might have chewed off some excitement from the audience as well.

SPOILER ALERT: Aleister Black's appearance last night impressed me the most. His ominous presence speaks for itself, and the only thing that worries me is that WWE might wear-down Black's persona by booking him the exact same way as the rest of the roster.

Which NXT Superstar impressed you the most last night? Let us hope that this change lasts for more than a week, as NXT is officially being considered as a third brand equal to RAW and SmackDown Live.
