NXT TakeOver San Antonio: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Women's Title - Fatal 4-Way: Asuka (c) Vs. Nikki Cross Vs. Billie Kay Vs. Peyton Royce

Result: Asuka murders Royce with a roundhouse kick to retain the title (9:55).

Rating: There was absolutely some good storytelling here that made Asuka look every bit the monster she is (even if she spent too long sleeping on the mat), and that table spot was incredibly brutal.

All that said, this one just never found the energy or rhythm that all great Fatal-4-Ways do, with too much segmented, isolated action and a rushed ending.

Still, Asuka looked great (that Double German to Royce and Kay was terrific) and more importantly, it gave her three opponents significant boosts, especially Cross, who came across as brilliantly unhinged and insanely ferocious here. Unremarkable overall, but certainly decent. 6/10
