Champion Io Shirai defeated Shotzi Blackheart with a devastating moonsault. Great fight to start NXT, both gave it their all and at the end of the contest there was a mutual recognition when greeting each other as a sign of respect.
Next week there will be a Battle Royal to determine the # 1 challenger for the NXT Women's Championship.
Although I would like to see Raquel González in the title scene, I think it would be very soon. Maybe it's a chance to see a new dispute between Candice LeRae and Io Shirai. What are your favorites?
Finn Bálor points out that HE made NXT and the brand needs him. She also says that to face it, the challengers will first have to face each other ... Good promo, at the moment it is unknown who will be their first opponent.
Breezango proves that her victory was no accident and defeated IMPERIUM again. This has been her first starting defense and a good match in pairs.
William Regal presented the stipulation of the fight to decide the next NXT Championship challenger held by Finn Bálor: Gauntlet Eliminator Match.
The rules are as follows:
- 2 men start the fight
- Every 4 minutes, a new competitor enters.
- The only way to be eliminated is by account of 3 or surrender.
- The last man standing will win the opportunity for the NXT championship.
Something interesting that happened a few moments ago in NXT, Kile O'Reilly came out in defense of Jake Atlas when he was attacked by Tommaso Ciampa. Face turn in sight?
Damian Priest defeated Timothy Thatcher in his first defense for the North American Championship. Great fight to close the night. I would like to see more of Priest in the weekly shows, the Archer of Infamy is very good.
