Astrid’s Point
I loved that Nikki and Doudrop were a part of the show after Worlds Collide, it’s awesome to see them team up against Gigi and Jacy. It was a fast-paced match, love that both teams were able to show their offense and double team maneuvers too. I hope Nikki and Doudrop have the opportunity to work with more of the NXT roster, it’ll be incredible.

Nothing but respect between @roxanne_wwe and @satomurameiko… nothing but DISRESPECT from @CoraJadeWWE! 😡#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/vteF3obChH — WWE (@WWE) September 7, 2022
Astrid’s Point
Before the fight started, they showed a backstage sequence in which Roxanne begs Meiko for a match and Cora declines because she already has one against Roxanne. First, it reveals that Cora and Roxanne are alike because they both wanted to challenge Meiko. It also fuels their rivalry. I liked that Cora attacked Roxanne from behind because it demonstrated that Meiko stated Roxanne is respectful and that Cora wants the spotlight. Their conflict isn’t done yet. I believe their next match should have some sort of stipulation since Cora has been using her kendo stick lately.

Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler are backstage, they stop Kiana James while she’s on the phone, they want to provide “guidance,” she asks her assistant to take one of the pins they gave her.
