I love the heat these guys get. It\u2019s Dom Mysterio heat and it is awesome. There were times where even Xavier Woods seemed to almost smile when the boos were massive (knowing they were killing it). This heel New Day is awesome and I again can\u2019t repeat enough how much I look forward to seeing them every week now. Tremendous stuff. Also, just how over is Jey Uso? Man, the crowds are electric for him. I never would have imagined his solo rise to stardom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chad Gable vs. Otis: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t imagine a Gable match being anything than a Hit. He simply brings the best out of anyone. Otis loses nothing in Gable\u2019s victory, especially with so much outside interference. Gable needed this win and I would absolutely love to see this guy get some form of a title run. He\u2019s this generation\u2019s Kurt Angle. I hope they show this guy some love.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show covering the latest episode of Raw: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/wwe-raw-post-show-12-30-keller-narayanan-ask-whether-punk-or-seth-went-too-far-women-s-ic-final-set-on-site-report-from-houston-more--63523449\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cwade Keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=63523449&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Zoey Stark vs. Dakota Kai: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another talent that I think was in the shadows during the previous regime, Kai advancing makes me happy. I love her work as both a face and a heel. Take nothing away from Zoey Stark, she\u2019s amazing in her own right, which is too bad that she\u2019s a faction that loses more than it wins. She deserves better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Iyo Sky vs. Ilya Valkyria: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Color me surprised. I truly thought we\u2019d see a Kai\/Sky final. This match was a lot of fun. Anyone who missed Valkyria\u2019s run in NXT UK, has now witnessed how strong she is in the ring. This was a phenomenal match. I didn\u2019t want either woman to lose. Kudos to Sky for taking the L. I\u2019m officially torn between Lyra and Dakota..I wish the two the finalists weren\u2019t these two.
