This was another solid episode of NXT. Bayley continues her march to the NXT Women’s Championship with another strong showing tonight against Becky Lynch. As fun as this ride has been, this angle seems a bit too reminiscent of Finn Bálor’s road to the NXT title. We all knew he was going to win, which took some of the fun out of watching his ascent. Hopefully, WWE will throw us a curveball along the way to add some suspense to this angle.

Winner- Bayley
