#2 Best: Solo Sikoa impresses on NXT 2.0

Continuing his upward trajectory in WWE, Solo Sikoa delivered another impressive performance on NXT 2.0. He faced Santos Escobar in a solid outing for both superstars, picking up a big win over the leader of Legado del Fantasma. Even the distraction from Xyonn Quinn did not take too much away from Sikoa's victory.

The Usos' baby brother continues to be embedded in NXT, with his feud with Boa carrying on. The Chinese Superstar viciously attacked him backstage after the match. This will only enhance Solo Sikoa on his journey to the top. He has family waiting for him on the WWE main roster.


#2 Worst: Tiffany Stratton's gimmick

Following weeks of vignettes, the entitled "daddy's girl" has made her NXT debut. Tiffany Stratton squashed Fallon Henley, looking solid in the process. She performed as well as a new wrestler can be expected to.

However, Stratton's gimmick leaves a lot to be desired. It is quite corny and doesn't really work. NXT already has a looks-based female faction, which makes another such character a bit too much. Hopefully, Tifanny Stratton is booked better as her in-ring career gets off the ground.
