WWE NXT Review:
Tonightâ€s show was busy to say the least. Solid matches overall, and a good amount of time and effort was poured into building to the TNA/NXT brawl to close the show. The TNA womenâ€s team is a perplexing yet solid group. TNA hasnâ€t gotten much over on NXT to this point. They need to achieve almost a clean sweep next week to balance out everything that has happened over the past few months. The match of the night was the main event tag match featuring a showcase for Evans and Slater against the Culling. How would you book NXT Showdown? Let us know in the comments!
