NXT's on the CW now, and the transition feels like it's still finding its footing after SummerSlam shook the entire WWE landscape. With main roster eyes increasingly on AAA's direction and backstage chatter swirling about who's actually got the brass's confidence, tonight's show needs to remind everyone why NXT still matters as the pipeline.
NXT Women's Championship – NXT Underground Match: Kendal Grey (c) vs. Lola
Underground rules mean Grey's got to dig deeper than her usual playbook, and Lola's getting the kind of platform that either elevates her or exposes her in front of a CW audience still getting comfortable with NXT. This is the type of match that defines a reign.
WAW Pick: Grey retains in a convincing performance that cements her as NXT's most dependable draw.
