The match between Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai was what I expected it to be - exciting, dynamic, filled with the amazing NXT women's quality - the best performance you can get from the black and yellow brand. And there was a surprise!
NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPION RAQUEL GONZALEZ defeated DAKOTA KAI,
to retain her title
Dakota Kai throw everything she had including stunning Kairopractor! Kicks, double stomps from the top rope... you know I don't like to describe matches - just go and watch it! It is worth every minute. Both women did what they do best and performed at the top level they were expected to.
For a moment I thought that Kai might win, but Raquel stood up to her image of the unstoppable powerhouse and overcame everything her opponent throw at her - including a lot of hurtful kicks. Everything kept up with the NXT's standards and constant delivery of high-quality women's wrestling matches.
In the end, NXT just showed us how it's done - the longest-reigning NXT UK Women's Champion Kay Lee Ray appeared on the ramp, post-match, and let the actions speak better than the words. A really promising next rivalry!
