10 WWE Evolution Impulse Reactions

10. Darkness Falls

But first a quick note on the one number fudged by WWE in the build-up and execution of this show.

There'll be no analysis at time of writing of the Rhea Ripley/Dakota Kai NXT UK Women's Championship match because;

a) It was a dark match deemed unworthy of a spot on the one-hour kickoff. But then that's probably because;

b) WWE haven't actually got an NXT UK Women's Championship.

In a rare case of the organisation failing to prepare and preparing to fail, the stuttering debut of the British offshoot has resulted in taped tournament matches not even making air in time for the pay-per-view designed to celebrate the winner.

At the risk of not spoiling the entire surprise for those that actually watch week to week, let's just say one of the two women in this match took home the title, at least justifying a place on this card with a top challenger from the field. Both Ripley and Kai can feel hard done to for not getting the spots initially promoted for this show, but here's hoping a show that mirrored NXT TakeOvers past allows for - like those did - a spot on the weekly broadcast for this match to find an audience beyond the Uniondale locals.
