The show starts with a recap of the number one contender’s battle royal, which was won by Apollo Crews.
Asuka vs Billie Kay
Result: Asuka defeated Kay via submission (Asuka Lock).
Rating: 2.75 out of 5 stars
Poor Billie Kay doesn’t really stand a chance. She does get a pre match recorded promo where she talks about facing Asuka before. It’s nice that they’ve started trying to develop Billie.
Asuka starts the match by going to shake Billie’s hand. Billie grabs the hand and knees Asuka in the ribs. Billie controls Asuka for the beginning of the match and hits a beautiful delayed vertical suplex. Asuka regains control and uses kicks to damage Billie. Asuka hits a German suplex and gets Billie Kay into the Asuka Lock down on the ground for the submission victory.
Evan’s Note: Asuka has some of the best ring gear in NXT. It plays up how she is very friendly but all business in the ring. Plus, who doesn’t love tassels.
Baron Corbin vs. Rhyno is announced for the main event tonight. A vignette on Baron Corbin airs as well.
Announced to be up next is Enzo and Cass against Dash and Dawson.
