I watched last week's segment of Candice LeRae and Johnny. It was an interesting approach: Their home, dinner time, talking about failure, and promising to smash everyone. Family portrait! And new hair color...
But that was last week. This week we had the chance o see some actions that speak better than words. Excluding the annoying announcement by Gargano. If you want to dance on our nerves you can continue use it. Be sure we will hate him. Damn, even the 'Poison Pixie' Candice LeRae was kind of frustrated! So, we had another good girl gone bad. I lost the count!
So0, LeRae's first victim on her way to the heeldom was Kacy Catanzaro who we see rarely and it wasn't about her. After Candice smashed her she threatened the rest of the division backstage (Represented by Kayden Carter as well. Maybe Carter is next!). Catanzaro was great as always. She made a good appearance. In the end the drama was elevated as LeRae attacked her former 'buddy for a match' after the victory bell rang.
I don't know what to think about that turn. It is somehow indifferent to me. She said it right - since she stepped in NXT she wasn't able to be who she was before it and what she was before brought her here. Her wings were somehow clipped. She got good matches, but somehow she got always lost in the crowd, helping to elevate others. 'Oh, she is here! I forgot! Oh, it's nice that they involved her!'. Candice LeRae is more than everything they allowed her to do in the last few months. I really hope that this new poison purple image will get her further.
Meanwhile, the Queen and HBIC had their 'rematch'. It was a great battle as much as it's possible in this environment and conditions. Charlotte Flair is Charlotte Flair - we can say this and that would be enough. Mia Yim tried her best in a battle that she is destined (b**ked) to lose.
Actually, that was a great show of respect for Yim. The decision to be the first serious threat, before Io Shirai and even Rhea Ripley, talks a lot about the HBIC position in NXT and I am happy that she is one of the top girls in here.
Io Shirai's appearance post-match was expected as well as it was funny. A lot of spirit and desire by The Evil of The Sky and some funny reactions from Charlotte - from a smile to a annoyingly-disturbed face, a bit. I think that Shirai is losing it next week no matter how loud she can scream and how funny spasmatic moves she can do! 👍
Oh, let's not forget that Scarlett Bordeaux with her boyfriend - the killer machine Killer Cross, is rumored to debut next week (yay another heel). Can't wait to see where is this going... Blood and violence! 😉
