Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness<\/p>\n<p>-Nikkita Lyons vs. Lash Legend? Again? Neither are ready for developmental television right now one time, let alone two. What am I missing with Lyons? Enlighten me, please?<\/p>\n<p>-So up and coming heel Tony D\u2019Angelo faces off against up and coming heel in Von Wagner? I know the finish was what it was and D\u2019Angelo is protected, but like, there aren\u2019t any babyfaces on the roster to work with in a squash like way? What about all that talent at the WWE Performance Center? Nothing?<\/p>\n<p>-Not sure what it is, but I buy tough love from Roderick Strong. The Creed Brothers did too.<\/p>\n<p>-Roxanne Perez is going to make a lot of money in WWE. Her charisma and personality are likable and she already has a connection with the crowd. She may just be the perfect women\u2019s division babyface for this WWE in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>-Perez had Mandy Rose\u2019s best match to-date in NXT 2.0. The match accomplished two important things. One, put Rose over strong as champion. Two, Perez painted as a fighting babyface. The silly net at the end? Yeah, can do without that and Perez is better off staying away from Wendy Choo instead of partnering next to her. The Choo gimmick just reeks of limitations at this point and Perez has a higher ceiling than that.<\/p>\n<p>-Nathan Frazer is as cold as ice. Like, once a top star on the independents now in jobber position opposite Grayson Waller.<\/p>\n<p>-Katana Chance and Kayden Carter look the part they\u2019re trying to play, but don\u2019t act the part. They sure seem happy out there performing, though. Time for them to take that to another level.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-945171061\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Just an ok match between Briggs and Fallon against Legado Del Fantasma. Legado is ill-defined too. Santos Escobar working babyface, but his goons working heel? Yuck.<\/p>\n<p>-Really good action between Solo Sikoa and Trick Williams. Sikoa\u2019s got \u201cit\u201d and would fit perfectly with Roman Reigns on Smackdown and on his own during Monday Night Raw. One of the better talents out there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeGacy\">Joe Gacy<\/a> showcased his best promo work ever tonight.
