Thoughts: Naturally, it was a shorter one and it's hard to say a lot more. JP and Lash had been feuding so Lash coming out makes sense. At least JP didn't lose this one clean.

Thoughts: The haircut spot was the highlight of this one. I liked it and thought they did a good job making this different by using some unique weapons here. They both took some hard shots and bumps. I also thought they showed good aggression here. This was a good match. 

Ava talks from her office. She says the relationship between TNA and NXT has been fractured. She says her and Santino came up with a solution. She says on 10/7, we will get an event called Invasion. She says they will compete in 2 Survivor Series matches (men's and women's). She says there will also be a Hardy Boyz vs Dark State title for title match. She says everyone will be barred from ringside and there has to be a winner.

Thoughts: While it is a nice card, they should have given it more time to develop as it's a big storyline and needs to be done right. WWE already messed up one Invasion angle... 

Lash Legend comes out to talk. She says she knows what we are thinking. She says Zaria's spear was worth it as it cost Jaida Parker the win.

A masked person hits a running knee/boot on Lola. Lola beats the count in. Jacy spinning forearms her when she gets in and wins.

Thoughts: I was pretty sure Lola was winning here and I'm glad she didn't. I thought the match was about average. There just wasn't a great story or a great flow to this. Lola did a little better than usual here and the crowd was really behind her. I just don't think it's the time yet though and I don't think she's the one who should beat Jacy. I suspect the masked girl is Lainey Reid but we will see.

Oba pops him up and RS ddt's him. RS tornado ddt's him and pins him in a shocker.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see Ricky win here. It wasn't built up that well and he had been losing steam after coming in hot. I was also surprised it wasn't done at a bigger event. Oba's ready for the main roster and hopefully this was his swan song as there's not much else for him to do here outside of the NXT vs TNA thing. The match was fine with Oba overpowering Ricky and Ricky having to use various comebacks to get offense in. I'm not sure where things go from here with Ricky as champ so we will have to see.

Overall thoughts: The opener was fine. Sol/Jaida was short. I liked the Blake/Grace cage match and thought it was good. Page/Heights was acceptable. Jacy/Lola was average and thankfully Lola did not win. The main was fine but nothing too great and we got a shocker with Ricky getting the upset win. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 total. It was a little above average mostly due to the cage match and not really NXT's best work. I was really surprised the TNA crew didn't show up to cause havoc here.
