Candice has come a long way, but I still think she needs a lot more polishing. I dont think she is dangerous, but she is sloppy. Not sure how I feel about Reina. Seems that she can do neat things with the smaller girls and is more mobile than someone like Nia. Not the most charismatic though. 

The post match attack from the horsewoman and Io running in with the kendo stick was fun. Thought she looked cool in the all black and leather. I hope that's something that she sticks with. I think she does need something to distance herself from Asuka/Kairi and their colorful/flashy characters. An edgy Ozaki/Oz Academy like character would be cool.

Mansoor/Maluta was neat.

Candice/Reina was nice aside from the finish which Candice badly overshot. Loved the post match attack from the Horsewomen and save from Io.

Fish/O'Reilly vs. Riddle/Gargano was solid.

Dream is my favourite thing from NXT this year. Dream Over.

There were a few obvious cuts in this episode, the Candace/Reina finish was the most obvious. I still dug the episode. The Dream/Breeze segment was great.

[Nice Guy Eddie]

Really enjoyed the main event. If Bobby Fish isn't able to go for Takeover, I'd do an injury angle with Matt Riddle and put Roderick in the tag title match with Kyle O'Reilly.

How could I possibly like Shayna Baszler more than I do? Shayna wearing a Lamb of God shirt.

Reina needs to go full Stan Hansen and have a big wad of snuff in her mouth, dripping down her chin, or ready to spit in her opponent's face. I'm not suggesting she use chewing tobacco. There is an alternative, Smokey Mountain Herbal Snuff.

I just want to see her beat someone with a Western Lariat.

That would be great. There aren't many women I can recall using a lariat as a finish. I think Reina's size would add legitimacy to it finishing the match more so than anyone else though.

I find snuff/chew abosultely repulsive, but I think that could be something to take her character over the hump. She is so different yet so dry to me.

The charisma was practically oozing out of the ring with Dream/Breeze in it. I would totally love for them to form a stable.

Delinquent Shirai would be totally dope.
