NXT: 5 Points to note (December 21st, 2016)

An explosive main event was the highlight of this week’s show

#3 Daria Beranato is the tough MMA Chick

Sadly, she couldn’t end her losing streak

Daria Beranato has been one of the more interesting looking characters in NXT, in recent memory. With a legitimate MMA background, she carries herself like a UFC Superstar and incorporates MMA-ish moves in her arsenal.

She had been hand picked by Billie Kay and Peyton Royce as their partner against Liv Morgan, Ember Moon and Aliyah a few weeks ago. However, she had been left high and dry by her own tag team partners during the course of the match allowing the babyfaces to pin her.

This week, Beranato sought retribution against Billie Kay in a singles environment, something we haven’t seen from her. In the limited time we saw her in the ring before Royce interfered to allow Billie Kay pick up her victory, she decimated her opponent with a barrage of genuine looking MMA style punches.

We certainly think she has the potential to grow and be a major player in the NXT Women’s division. A division we must discuss...
