Asuka barges in Regals office demanding Regal to make a title match for her at Takeover San Antonio. Regal ask against whom? Asuka yells at Regal that she wants everyone referring to Billy Kay, Peyton Royce and Nikki Cross.
Very good episode all in all with seeing developmental talent in matches this week. The main event with DIY and The Revival was awesome with quite a bit of action from both tag teams. I give credit to The Revival for being a very good heel tag team doing whatever it takes to win. I can’t wait to see when or where The Revival will end up on the main roster for 2017.
Asuka being beaten down from Billy Kay and Peyton Royce is making it clear to Asuka that both Kay and Royce run the women’s division will be an interesting feud with Nikki Cross in the mix. After weeks of seeing the interaction from Nikki Cross and Asuka, Nikki’s intentions are now clear that she wants the NXT Women’s Championship. How will Asuka handle all three of these competitors gunning for her?
The contract signing next week with Shinsuke Nakamora will be interesting to see as Bobby Roode has started playing mind games with the champ. In the next few weeks the buildup for their NXT Title match should be good as both competitors
