1. Street Fight Elevates The Division

Finally, after a frequently painful teething period, NXT may have just realised how to book its NXT Women's Tag Team division.

Quickly erasing the memory of a lazy build-up centred solely around a heartbroken youngster wanting to get revenge on what appeared to be two women stealing her man, Shotzi Blackheart, Ember Moon, Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell delivered the hardcore goods and then some here.

Putting it all on the line in a non-stop twenty minute spectacle, trash cans were used to pound sense into rivals, ladders broke the fall of sorry souls, and mugs were made mugs of by mugs. The scintillating combination of beautifully executed tag team offence, such as a ladder assisted moonsault from the challengers, and reckless disregard for their own safety made for the sort of pulsating main event that this division desperately needed.

Ending the encounter with a show-stopping bump from the scaffolding to the announce desk from Blackheart, springboard elbow-drop from Hartwell to Moon through a table on the outside, and a chair-assisted Wicked Step-Sister from LeRae to Blackheart cemented this match as quite possibly the finest women's tag match in the brand's history.

With the belts now safely stored with The Way for the foreseeable, can we have more of this and less of the unwanted lovesick puppy sh*te going forward, please?
