Editor’s Note: This was a solid match. The introduction of the trunk stipulation is what made this match FIRE. Neither of these teams are the type that could make the most of a no DQ match. Would have liked to see Pretty Deadly get the win here. I wonder if this is a sign of a potential call up.

Editor’s Note: Nothing against this match but its clear that this was just a lay-up for Bron before going to the main roster.

Editor’s Note: The wonky finish tarnishes a match that should have gotten a little more time.

Editor’s Note: This was a good match for two of the best young stars in NXT. I knew Hayes was excellent in the ring, but with every passing match, I become a bigger believer in Waller. Keeping the championship on Melo was the right idea.
Josh Briggs and Fallon Henley vs Brooks Jensen and Kiana James
Headline: “Love is Blind: Jensen losses his girlfriend but regains his family. ”.
Result: Josh Briggs and Fallon Henley wins via DQ

Editor’s Note: Oba Femi should have destroyed his opponent, but Mensah was able to get in too much offense.

Editor’s Note: Going into this match, I felt that two of the three women in this match were special. Roxanne Perez and Tiffany Stratton. Indy Hartwell may not be as special, but she put on a gutsy performance in victory.
