She says if this creepy weirdo can be NXT champ than anyone can. Tatum says she wants give everyone an opportunity at the title.

Izzi interrupts and disagrees. She says it's been a long 4 years and Tatum earned the title. She says she came up short every time she tried to win the title and says she needs to make people earn title shots like she had to earn them. Tatum says no. Tatum says she will spin the "Spin The Wheel, Make the Deal" wheel and whoever it lands on is who gets a shot tonight.

They go to the wheel. Izzi's name isn't on it and Shawn brings it up. Tatum spins the wheel and it lands on Lola Vice. Tatum says she will face her tonight.

Thoughts: It was heavy on the wrestling here with lots of side headlocks, takeovers and pin attempts. It wasn't bad but it was a little basic. I thought it ended a bit suddenly for the way they had paced this. Borne won as expected since he is much higher up on the food chain.

Trick and Saints then fight in the aisleway and security comes out. KJ grabs the title but lets go and is hit with a chaos theory german for 2. Saints and Trick fight in the ring then both go over the top. KJ hits JG with the title and gets the pin.

Thoughts: I didn't like the top rope spanish fly kick out here as that move should be protected. Kelani also did a lot of kicks here but they weren't thrown that well and didn't look good. I thought the match was about average. It doesn't seem like we saw the end of this though.

Saints and Trick fight more after. Saints spears him through the riser. Ava comes out. She says they can have a last man standing match in 2 weeks. They then fight more.

Overall thoughts: It was a pretty average show. There was nothing that great here and there were a lot of shorter matches and dirty finishes here. It was easy to get through but it wasn't their best work. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall and would recommend it.
