9. Asuka Vs. Nikki Cross

The NXT Women's Championship was defended by Asuka in a fatal four-way that failed to truly elevate any of the four women involved. Asuka's domination needs no further highlighting but her ability to run through what essentially became a two-on-one left the Australian pair looking fairly week. Nikki Cross only managed to retain a sense of danger as a competitor by being taken out of the match relatively early on.

Cross certainly stands out in the NXT women's division due to her unpredictability in the ring and her allegiance to the emerging Sanity faction. NXT were wise to keep her as a potential threat to Asuka as outside of these two, Ember Moon is the only person making real strides on the developmental brand. Though Cross is likely a bridging feud for Asuka to eventually challenge Moon, there's a great deal of story left to tell with the enigmatic Scot.
