Worst: Tegan Nox again fails to live up to the hype

youtube-cover

Each episode will have a weakest match. This one was it. That's fine, but the alarming aspect about it is that this was the second time in a row that Tegan Nox failed to live up to the hype surrounding her.

Michael Cole gushed and glowed and prattled about how she was one of the best in the world. That isn't what we saw last night, not by a long shot.

The match was a clunky affair that relied on commentary building the trope about an injured knee. It felt forced rather than organic.

Out of all the favorites in the tournament, Tegan has been the least impressive, and has impressed even less than some of the rookies. That's a bad sign, given the push she was seemingly about to receive.
