WWE NXT presented their final show from the most recent batch of tapings, which meant that the WWE Universe are unaware of the twists and turns that are still to come on the road to NXT TakeOver: War Games in November.
The company looked to make history as Pete Dunne and Ricochet faced off in the first ever Winner Takes All, Champion vs Champion match in NXT, but even though the match had the Full Sail crowd on their feet, the result wasn't the one that they expected.
TakeOver: War Games is just two months away now which means that there are only two more block tapings of NXT to come before their final pay-per-view of the year and some of the seeds have already been planted.
#5 Lacey Evans is a genuine contender
Lacey Evans was never going to pick a fight with Shayna Baszler whilst she wore the NXT Women's Championship around her waist, but now that Kairi Sane sits at the top of the NXT mountain, The Lady of NXT could easily find a way back into the title picture.
Lacey and Kairi have history following their back and forth feud earlier this year and this week on NXT Evans was able to prove to the NXT Universe that even though she hasn't been given a lot of TV time on NXT recently, she is still a genuine contender for that Women's Championship.
With Kairi Sane and Shayna Baszler now rumored to face off at Evolution given the fact that Baszler still has her rematch clause, the WWE Universe could be looking at the next challenger for that Women's Championship and if Sane falls victim to the Women's Right then The Lady of NXT could become The Queen.
#4 Jaxson Ryker's destructive debut
The Forgotten Sons have given Wesley Blake a new lease on life since he's been on the sidelines for around two years following the dissolution of #Bamf but it's a gimmick that the WWE Universe has seen a number of times before. Sanity were once the rebels of NXT before they were called up to the main roster and it appears that Blake, Steve Cutler, and Jaxson Ryker could be looking to follow in their footsteps.
It is hard to see past the destruction that Ryker put on display this week on NXT and his fantastic slingshot powerbomb, but it does seem as though The Forgotten Sons could be about to become NXT's newest rebels without a cause.
#3 Bianca Belair isn't done with Nikki Cross
Bianca Belair and Nikki Cross main evented last week's episode of NXT but much like this week their match ended in a no-contest and The EST of NXT was able to hold on to her undefeated streak since both women were counted out. Cross and Belair brawled into the crowd and even on the announce table before the show went off the air.
This week Belair was spotted backstage where she confirmed that her issues with Cross had not come to an end and the two women were perhaps set to collide once again, which could be part of the next batch of NXT tapings. Bianca and Nikki had a great match last week and the fact that they are continuing this feud means that Belair still gets some TV time whilst waiting for her NXT Women's Championship shot.
#2 No titles changed hands
Did anyone really expect Ricochet or Pete Dunne to walk out with both Championships after this week on NXT? No, it's obvious that the seeds are being planted for War Games because there are currently three teams that all have an issue with one another. War Raiders, The Undisputed Era and Dunne and Ricochet could easily continue their feud heading into the show in November, but since the structure traditionally holds nine men, it will be interesting to see who joins the ranks.
Putting the finish of the match to the side, it was another fantastic match from both men who have a habit of stealing the show when it comes to main events in NXT and it's obvious that there could be a legitimate feud between these two men in the future if WWE wants to circle back.
#1 Does William Regal think it was Johnny Gargano?
Over the past few weeks, William Regal has been interviewing all of the NXT superstars who were spotted in the parking lot when Aleister Black was attacked and this week it was Candice LeRae, who was convinced that it was Tommaso Ciampa.
Regal pointed out that Ciampa had already been questioned and cleared of any wrongdoing before he went on to ask about Gargano's current mental state and whether or not his wife thought that he was capable to attacking Black.
Candice went on to explain that the couple met after the match was announced, but she didn't actually give Gargano an alibi for the time of the attack since he was spotted entering the building as Regal headed through the doors to find Black. Could there be a new suspect in this case?
