Match #1 - Lacey Evans defeats Brandi Lauren
It honestly surprised me to see NXT turn Lacey Evans heel. She's an ex-Marine and a mother, the perfect American story. But, I've learned with the several years I've invested in NXT, that Triple H knows what he's doing.
Evans has done a tremendous job in her character growth as a heel, and I feel like she can be at the top of the women's division in the near future.
She took on Brandi Lauren aka Ava Storie from Shine and Impact Wrestling. It was a quick match to put over Evans, but after the match, Kairi Sane showed up to get her revenge on the sucker punch Evans delivered a couple of weeks ago.
Not much to the match, but the revenge by Sane was good.
