NXT UK

Banks vs. Ohno:
Good big man/little man match. Ohno is so refreshed in UK.  Just a great dickhead heel. Banks looks like a tough SOB.

Obligatory Jordan Devlin is a star comment.

Kelly vs. Niven:
Showcase match for Niven. She looks good. I wish Kelly was more than a JTTS, but the division is so stacked.

I like Connors, but this was bad filler in my opinion.

Storm vs. Jinny:
Great match physical match. Right from the start with punching each other to the counters and use of others submission. These two are really good.

NXT

Candice vs. Aliyah:
Liked Candice winning, but that match was just ok. Aliyah should probably just be let go at this point. After 5 years she's just ok. To many other talented women in the pipeline for her to be taking up TV time.

Burch vs. Ryker:
Burch made this match fun, but Ryker sucks.

The Street Profits vs. Aichner/Barthel:
Fun sprint of a match. Wish it got some more time.

Kinda interesting they’re building towards Devlin being WALTER’s first challenger, considering they’ve had an amazing feud in OTT Wrestling (albeit with Devlin as a babyface and WALTER as the conquering monster heel).

Saw NXT UK - Banks/Ohno and Storm/Jinny were solid, but they came at the end of the tapings, and for the most part the fans were checked out. I know the first are capable of better, and Storm and Jinny can have their match in their sleep at this point, but weren't exactly driven to amp it up beyond what they did.
