#3 Lars Sullivan vs Raul Mendoza

WWE Photo
Lars Sullivan had his first match on NXT television since NXT Takeover: Chicago 2.

Result: Lars Sullivan defeated Raul Mendoza via pinfall with the Freak Accident.

Grade: B+

Analysis: This was probably Raul Mendoza's best performance on NXT yet (he hasn't looked that good since the Cruiserweight Classic in 2016). He did not look like enhancement talent as usual.

He was able to use his speed to counter Lars Sullivan's power. Raul Mendoza will definitely get more opportunities in the future.

Lars Sullivan's power made him look as explosive as usual. His Pop-Up Powerslam looked beautiful.

Lars Sullivan has looked great on NXT and once he gets all of his in-ring skills together, WWE can be looking at a future star.
