REVIEW:
This was another good episode of NXT. NXT continues to deliver where the main roster is consistently lacking. That is, in the Diva's and tag team divisions. Things are really heating up in the tag team division with the Vaudevillains finding their groove, Big Cass and Enzo Amore looking better than ever, and Kalisto searching for a new partner (spoiler alert, its probably going to be Sin Cara). When and if the Vaudevillains ever meet The Ascension it is going to be a very good match because of the contrasting styles of the two teams. The Vaudevillains may be a comedy act, but they are both extremely talented wrestlers and I would love to see them get the upset over The Ascension.
Sami Zayn and Tyson Kidd had another awesome match. Both men are pure wrestlers and true students of the sport. They are rare all around workers who can make anything look fantastic. The ending of this match didn't seem too definitive, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see them go at it at some point again in the future.
