#2 Best: LA Knight garners big-time heel heat on NXT

The story between LA Knight and Cameron Grimes on NXT has grown more interesting every week. The Million Dollar Champion has earned supreme heel heat recently, especially when Grimes was made to be his butler.

Drake Maverick picked up a shock victory over Knight after an "inadvertent" distraction from NXT's resident hillbilly, but the dastardly heel got the last laugh. He attacked Maverick himself, before ordering Grimes to punch the former 205 Live general manager. He reluctantly did so.

The continued build towards the eventual blowoff between LA Knight and Cameron Grimes has been excellent so far, with the Million Dollar Champion likely to get his comeuppance soon.


#2 Worst: Xia Li suffers an injury during her NXT Women's Championship match

NXT may not be at fault, but the show suffered from this unfortunate incident. Xia Li challenged Raquel Gonzalez for the NXT Women's Championship in the main event of the show. The match started well enough and was hard-hitting, but Li seemed to legitimately injure her rib.

A wrong landing by Gonzalez from a modified Vader Bomb caused the supposed injury, which led straight into the finish after the referee stopped the match to check on her. This was a disappointing way to end a promising contest, even if there was no choice.

While the NXT Women's Champion retained her title, the bigger concern is Xia Li's status. We can only hope the injury she suffered is not too serious.
