8 Secrets We Learned From WWE's Leaked NXT TakeOver Script
2. Delayed Horsewomen
Shayna Baszler and Kairi Sane wrestled a ballistic 2-Out-Of-3 Falls match on the night, somehow besting each of their previous encounters in a terse, breathless 11-minuter that never once looked like running out of steam.
This gloriously action-packed affair was without a single flabby moment, and the outcome hinged on a series of immaculately well-agented interference spots. Baszler took the first fall when MMA Horsewomen pals Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke showed up early on. They tried to get involved later on as well, only to be thwarted by Dakota Kai and Io Shirai, though the babyfaces weren't able to prevent 'The Pirate Princess' from falling in the third act.
Duke and Shafir didn't arrive until a couple of minutes in, but this isn't what's listed on the script. Point 14 has the Horsewomen entering with Baszler, not during the match itself, though they were nowhere to be found when 'The Queen Of Spades' made her initial walkout.
This minor change was for the best. Had they entered with Shayna, their interference would've been entirely predictable, and though many called it ahead of the bout, the actual layout at least preserved the surprise for a couple of minutes.
