8 Ups And 2 Downs From WWE NXT (Aug 10)
3. Boa Picks Up A Mist-Assisted Win
Most of the in-ring weight has been carried by Xia Li when it pertains to Tian Sha's current reign of terror on Tuesday nights. However, last night marked a rare occasion when Boa decided to prove his worth in singles action. Although his opponent didn't exactly make it easy for him.
Once again proving why he's arguably the brand's most believable underdog, Drake Maverick sold like a champ before fighting his way back into the contest with a wicked senton from the top rope to the outside. Yet, the presence of Mei Ying at ringside soon paid dividends for the shaken Boa as the ancient force misted Maverick into oblivion. A swift roundhouse kick followed and Boa was finally celebrating a singles win as part of this dominant faction.
Sure, seeing Maverick stumble and fall once again always sucks, but Tian Sha needed a win by any means necessary after Li fell to the NXT Women's Champion a few weeks ago and this dastardly tactic definitely elicited the much-wanted negative response towards the unit as they skulked back up the ramp, ready to ruin another poor soul's night in the near future.
