This week NXT's episode was pre-taped at NXT TakeOver: NewYork and present some feuds development and interestingly logical decisions.
One of the most talented former - independent competitors returned to action and stepped out of her husband's shadow. The Champion had her conversation with Mr. Regal.
CANDICE LeRAE defeated ALIYAH (w. Vanessa Borne)

| Candice LeRae's Lionsault. |
Actually, this match has its pre-history. Last week The Vision Vanessa Borne and Aliyah met up the arriving LeRae with some serious insults and mocking, calling her 'Loser'... So, the logical creative step was to book Candice against one of these two ladies. Secretly, I am hoping to see Borne vs. LeRae soon.

The match was the usual quality, intensive type with some domination exchanges. Both women were in top shape. Aliyah looks better and better with every time she steps in the ring. Candice is Candice, she was one of the iconic indie wrestlers she still has her talent, even while she was pushed aside for a long time.
Vanessa Borne proved to be a distraction as well. I like her alliance with Aliyah. I think that this is finally some well-deserved opportunity for these two veterans to accomplish more victories in the Black and Yellow brand. The Vision's interference helped Aliyah to get some momentum.
The end was a stunning Lionsault/Quebrada by LeRae, which was enough to put the Arabian beauty down for three counts.
Recap:
Firstly, it was nice to see other faces from the NXT's women's locker room. As the WWE.com article said - it's crowded and everyone is looking for a higher spot in it.
Secondly, Candice LeRae made a step up the ladder and I hope to see her challenging for the gold, after several matches with the rest of the NXT Superstars.
The whole match was like a wave of fresh air, after all the tension the past weeks. Finally, we had some other rivalry that didn't involve Shayna, her henchwomen, Sane, Shirai, and Belair.
SHAYNA BASZLER AGREED TO DEFENSE HER TITLE AGAINST KAIRI SANE NEXT WEEK, BUT UNDER A STIPULATION
Actually, Baszler's arguments when she heard that she will face Kairi next week for the belt, was really reasonable. 'C' mon how many times did she earned rematches?! Five?!'...
WWE NXT Women's Champion said it well: She got tired of that Pirate!
Surprisingly, I am kind of tired of this 'rivalry' as well and I even support Baszler's stipulation: If Kairi loses her match next week, she'll never challenge Shayna again for the belt. I like it!
Actually, I have the feeling that Sane might be going to WWE... but it's just a feeling. I used to think that she and Io might be the secret team of Paige, but that is kind of controversial... but who knows?
I can't wait to see what will happen next week.
