8 Ups And 1 Down For WWE NXT (May 11)

Last week certainly raised the bar when it came to Tuesday night main events. Shotzi Blackheart, Ember Moon, Candice LeRae, and Indi Hartwell put it all on the line in a thrilling street fight for the NXT Women's Tag Team belts.

Both stars will recover, much like the evening did in the end. So without further ado, let's get into who Upped their game and who let the side Down...
