Devi displayed her power by beating up Kaitlyn for most of the match. Kaitlyn mounted a comeback late in the match. And she still uses the spear. The finish felt sudden, and overall this just felt like a reintroduction to Kaitlyn more than a full match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nProfiling Jinny and Toni Storm.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nTyler Breeze is in the crowd.

I wish this match-up happened later in the tournament so they could&#8217;ve gone longer. Jinny showed her mean streak and punished Storm throughout the match. This was a fight, and Jinny seemed to be willing to do anything to win. Storm persevered and hit some big moves when she needed to. I really enjoyed this and look forward to seeing them battle again in NXT UK.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA look at Xia Li and Karen Q.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nJohnny Gargano and Candice LeRae are in the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Mae Young Classic 2018 First Round Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Karen Q vs Xia Li<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Aubrey Edwards)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69f38024d141e','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69f38024d141e\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69f38024d141e\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Xia Li wins via pinfall after a spinning kick<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 4:21<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nPretty good match.
