PWP Nation’s Eron Ramadanov reviews WWE NXT from this past week.
Another week, another really good showing from WWE’s developmental system, NXT. This past week’s episode of NXT was something to feast your eyes on, as we saw a fantastic non-title match between the NXT Champion Finn Balor going up against the hungry Apollo Crews. And as you would expect, the match was sick.
We also saw some interesting and well-done vignettes and promos hyping up American Alpha featuring Chad Gable and Jason Jordan, along with getting to know the “fabulous” Carmella, who is getting ready to take on Bayley for the NXT Women’s Championship.
So, without any further, let’s get into this week’s episode:
ASUKA IS A BADASS
I don’t think there is any female competitor on the main or developmental roster that I’m more personally afraid of than Asuka. She is the ultimate badass and has been booked as a dominate force in the NXT Women’s Division. Obviously, the plan for her is to go up against Bayley for the NXT Women’s Championship, possibly at NXT Takeover: Dallas. That’s my guess.
Asuka, in my opinion, is the equivalent to a female version of Brock Lesnar. From her entrance, to facial expressions, to her moveset, Asuka is everything a competitor, who happens to be a woman, should be in modern professional wrestling: legitimate.
Also, shout-out to Santana Garrett, who received a nice little pop from the fans in NXT. We might be seeing more of her in the coming year.
