Don't why they tapped this episode in Bel Air, Maryland but I like an ecstatic change even though I prefer the Full Sail arena. As far as how I feel about this episode, it was a wrestling heavy show and I like it very much.
Also, sorry for the bad quality images. Might have to do with the location.
Io Shirai and Candice LeRae vs Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir.
During the match, Shirai hit a stomp on Duke's arm similar to what Shayna Baszler usually does as a payback. The match ended in a DQ which I don't exactly know why. Maybe it's because all of those women in the match were on the outside brawling?
Also, the crowd started to chant "let them fight" which I'm glad they're enjoying this but for some reason, I'm not invested in this feud but there was one highlight in their feud where Shayna was humiliating Io's best friend in Kairi Sane.
I know she's an NXT UK star but I feel like a Jazzy Gabert queen of spades feud is a rivalry I would much prefer mainly because Jazzy would bring an interesting dynamic between Gabert, Baszler and the gang in Duke and Shafir considering that Jazzy is much stronger in size and Shayna's technical style would mesh together beautifully but that's just me.
Kushida vs Drew Gulak in a Submission Match.
From an NXT Takeover highlight reel of the North American title match, a selfie promo from the Velveteen Dream, a Damian Priest vignette that says he's debuting next week to this amazing match.
I especially love Mauro Ranallo's call in this match. Whether it's him saying that Kushida spins like a fidget spinner or him saying that Kushida is faster than 5G.
He pretty much enhanced this match. Obviously, In those types of matches, you're gonna expect different submission holds being applied by both men. Kushida won the match with the kimura lock. If I could suggest something, I want a Kushida vs Kyle O'Reilly match like right now. I wanna see it so that once that match is great I will watch it over and over and over and over and over again.
So after that, The BFFs in Vanessa Bourne and Aliyah were quote "giving some food for thought" on Mia Yim's looks. Also, A steel cage match between Shayna Baszler and Io Shirai for the NXT Women's Championship is scheduled for NXT TV in two weeks and even though I'm not fully invested in this feud, this match sounds amazing to witness. And, The Undisputed Era leader in Adam Cole is gonna have a celebration of some sort for next week's show which should be interesting.
Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch vs The Undisputed Era in Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong.
This was a good encounter between those two great tag teams. That was the exact opposite of the Kushida and Drew Gulak match in the sense that it's a strike fest which I love by the way.
Jaxson Ryker of The Forgotten Sons came out and distracted The Undisputed Era which led to Burch pinning O'Reilly via a roll up aka a big victory for Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch. That's how the show ended in less than 46 minutes and a heel team vs a heel team is something I'm not interested in at all but we all know that the crowd would be cheering for Undisputed Era once the match is officially underway.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: Kushida vs Drew Gulak, The Undisputed Era vs Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch.
Didn't like: None.
