With as much anger we saw with the trash talking throughout the match, I&#8217;d like to see Yim and Belair have a really hard-hitting match. What we saw tonight was a fine wrestling match, though the pace seemed to be a little slower towards the end than we might expect from these women. The finish was kind of silly, but it worked fine and (probably) continues the feud.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nSecurity camera footage from the performance center shows the Forgotten Sons attacking the War\/Viking Raiders.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">** So the &#8220;Viking Raider&#8221; name has officially infected NXT. It seems as if the time in NXT for Erik\/Rowe and Hanson\/Ivar is almost done. I did like the fake security cam footage though. The footage was too pristine to be an actual security cam, but I like the idea of it. It makes more sense than there always happening to be a guy with a camera hanging around when stuff happens. **<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nFrom the performance center, Io Shirai runs in and attacks Shayna Baszler as Baszler watches Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir spar.

I really enjoy watching Mendoza, and he was in great form tonight. Moss was returning from injury, and he had a new attitude and a new gimmick (which is a lot like Simon Dean&#8217;s old gimmick). With all the focus on Moss, Mendoza surprised people with a near constant barrage of high-flying offense. This was fun.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAdam Cole prepares.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nMatt Riddle also prepares.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nLast week, KUSHIDA defeated Kassius Ohno in his NXT TV debut match.

Riddle and Cole threw just about everything they had at each other in this match. This was definitely Takeover quality. Roderick Strong did get involved at one point late in the match, but even though the finish did involve some story line elements, it was still a great, competitive, and intriguing match from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Adam Cole is furious at Roderick Strong.
