11 Ups & 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (Nov 13)

1. Holy Sh*t! Kay Lee Sh*t! Bayley Sh*t!

NXT appeared ready to go off the air with all the heels posing in a frustratingly staged shot until Bayley took her moment in a thrilling twist ending to another hugely enjoyable show.

The SmackDown Women's Champion started life as the third wheel in the Survivor Series triple threat clash of champions, but sprung back into the mix this week with attacks on both Becky Lynch and 'The Queen Of Spades'.

And, it would seem, half the f*ckers in the car park.

We can assume (and it was refreshing to not have this explained) that she did at least some of the damage outside, with Kay Lee Ray perhaps responsible for wiping out the babyfaces earlier in the night. Separate attacks happening because of separate motivations, intertwining magnificently for a big main event angle. Again excellent, this was another week where Vince McMahon thankfully kept his hands off.
