5. Sarray Puts On A Show For Mandy Rose

Though for a time it seemed as though Toni Storm's refusal to play ball with Sarray was merely a tactic to build heat for the pair's eventual clash down the line, it now looks as though the former NXT UK Champion was simply too busy to comply. She'll join Shotzi and Nox on Friday nights in the not too distant future, so Sarray had to settle for throwing down with Gigi Dolin - making her NXT singles debut - instead.

Dolin put in a decent shift here, matching Sarray's intensity and cleanness of strikes throughout and even teasing an upset on more than a few occasions. But Sarray was the real star of the show here, or at least she was until Monday Night Raw's Mandy Rose showed up. It's still unclear exactly what Rose wanted to achieve by returning to the black and gold show, but let's just hope she's not on a talent scouting mission - protect Sarray from Monday nights at all costs!

In the end, once Sarray had connected with her devastating baseball dropkick, the result was pretty much a formality. One suplex later, The Warrior of the Sun's undefeated streak was still intact, but take nothing away from Dolin. With a few more years under her belt, we could be looking at another bona fide top performer.
