8 Ups And 3 Downs From NXT TakeOver: Portland
6. Women Deliver Hard-Hitting Street Fight
Hats off to Dakota Kai and Teagan Nox for putting together a strong-looking street fight between the two. You could feel the disdain dripping from the two women.
Kai jumped Nox during her entrance, which is always a great way to get things jumpstarted. They laid into each other with trash cans, lids, chairs, a chain, a cricket bat… and even duct tape factored into the match. Nox showed that despite the knee injuries, she could still fly, nailing a Molly-Go-Round for a near-fall at one point.
Nox also showed the right amount of aggression and passing remorse as she brutalized Dakota’s knee, Pillmanizing it with a chair at one point before delivering her Shiniest Wizard. However, the end was not kind to her – or the match itself.
Still, we’ll give this more than passing marks for the hard work and great execution. Solid match overall.
