This was a pretty good episode of NXT 2.0. The highlights of the night were the main event, a tag team match between Gallus and Tyler Bate and Bron Breakker. Another highlight was the match between Roxanne Perez and Meiko Satomura. Perez put on a great effort in a loss that also featured Cora Jade showing up post-match. The low point of the night was the match between Axiom and Nathan Frazer. A fine match that wasn’t anything special. The matches were good across the board but the show lose points for lack of great storytelling.
