Shayna Baszler defends the NXT Women's Title.   Talk about it here

A very forgettable multi-person match - some solid stuff with Kairi & Io teaming + briefly going against one another, but overall there just wasn't much to the thing. Io & Kairi playing BASEBALL was fun & the double Psycho Driver by Belair was awesome though. **

I liked this more than I thought I would, although it was the weakest match on the overall card. I think Belair will be a big star on the main roster if given the opportunity. Solid build during the match to Kairi and Io inevitably starting to fight one another, which opened the door for Baszler to retain.

Baszler does nothing for me at all, and I have no idea how to book her to change my mind. 

[Boss Rock]

Really good spotfest where everyone got their time to shine. While this was a great showcase for Io in her Takeover debut, Bianca was the star here. The spot where Io and Kairi are about to gang up on her and instead of looking worried she's just like "Alright, let's do this" was particularly awesome. So the fact that Biance not only took the fall but actually tapped out was extremely frustrating.

Still, very much worth watching. ***3/4
