10 Best WWE NXT Moments Since Moving To USA Network
1. Io Shirai And Sasha Banks Delivering A Dream Match
The best thing that's happened on NXT television since the switch to the USA Network, as NXT creative booked a legitimate dream match for fans of women's wrestling all over the world and allowed them to have 15 mesmerising minutes together. This was a contest that brought fans back to the peak of NXT's workrate capabilities, transcending the lack of a traditional crowd with some of the best structured and aesthetically pleasing wrestling of the entire calendar year.
Sasha Banks and Io Shirai are obviously two of the best wrestlers in the world, capable of delivering greatness with significantly lesser opponents than themselves. When paired with each other, even with no narrative going in, they out-delivered everyone by putting on a masterpiece of professional wrestling. Their exchanges are gorgeous, the impact of Io's strikes and Sasha's bumps spark that necessary adrenaline in every fan watching.
The two make every second count, increasing the momentum rapidly as the match goes on, before concluding in a wildly entertaining finish that leaves room for an even better rematch sometime in the future. This is something that only USA Network's era of NXT could have truly given us, and that's something to be thankful for.
