All lame jokes aside, this is the weekly coherent NXT review and I thought the episode was just fine.

Sarray vs Mandy Rose.
Mandy Rose looked impressive in this bout. Rose "had a broken face" and was escorted to the backstage area while the ref counted to 10.
As a result, Sarray won the match via a count-out. I wouldn't mind a rematch between those two women.
Kyle O'Reilly vs Duke Hudson.
Call me shocked but I never knew before last week or so that Duke is an Aussie. I assumed that he's a Floridian or something (did you just assume that all tanned white dudes are from Florida? That's problematic, Omar!).
Hudson tapped out of the kneebar from Kyle O'Reilly. Cool.
Ilja Dragunov was like, "Hey, I'm a champ now". Nice.
Santos Escobar told Carmelo Hayes to stay out of the North American championship title scene.
And Cameron Grimes "accidentally" put his million-dollar belt on Zack Gibson's foot. That's for being a Liverpool fan, ya dope.
Ember Moon wanted a match with Kay Lee Ray for next week's episode. Should be a decent match.
Drake Maverick And Grayson Waller vs Imperium.
The Drake Maverick and Grayson Waller team are like the duo of Ice Cube and Mike Epps in Friday 2 and 3 in that it'll never top the duo of the OG in Ice Cube and Chris Tucker (if you can't tell, I'm referring to the team of Drake Maverick and Killian Dain).
Imperium prevailed here. Cool.
LA Knight vs Johnny Gargano.
Thanks to Johnny Gargano focusing too much on Dexter Lumis, Gargano ate the pin from La Knight.
Gargano losing like that ain't helping him becoming the top heel (if the rumour is true because we just don't know yet).
Raquel Gonzalez vs Jessi Kamea.
Really? Do I have to tell you who won the match?
Samoa Joe in an interview with Wade Barret was like, "I'll fight all comers'. I have to say, Wade Barret is really good at this interview thing.
Roderick Strong vs Ikemen Jiro.
Strong defeated Jiro in an alright match with a suplex into a backbreaker (now THAT is a finishing move).
Tomasso Ciampa vs Ridge Holland.
A series of kicks and a DDT from Tomasso Ciampa is how Ciampa won the match which is an odd booking choice given that Ridge Holland is supposed to be built as an unstoppable monster. Not a fan of that decision, honestly.
Msk helped Ciampa in avoiding a further beating from Peter Dune and his brufs.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Sarray vs Mandy Rose, forgot to mention that Wade Barret is good at interviewing.
Didn't like: Ridge Holland losing.
