Thoughts: I didn't like Darkstate losing here but it was entertaining otherwise. Saints and Page kept getting on the same page and the finish was funny. Cutler had one of his best showings so far. He was swinging everyone around with gutbusters and backbreakers and it made him look like a powerhouse. He needs to be doing that from now on. I liked it and it was a different kind of tag match than usual.

Thoughts: This was basically an intergender match when it should have been a mixed tag. As always, the girls beat up on the boys and the boys were too dumb to hit them back. I didn't like all that. It had some issues as when the girls or boys had to tag in, the momentum got lost.

Robert Stone is interviewed in the back. He says next week will be the start of a 2 week NXT Revenge special. He runs down the card and says Kali Armstrong will debut. 

Kali Armstrong does a video. She says she watched Stand and Deliver from home but will be on the show next year. She says that's not arrogance. She says she lived on food stamps and Section 8 housing. She says she doesn't want to fit in and believes in results and W's.

Next week has Tony D'Angelo vs Ethan Page for the NXT Title, a Joe Hendry concert and Kelani Jordan vs Jaida Parker.

Lola Vice comes out to talk. She says she became the first Cuban American champ in WWE history. She says she was the biggest signing of the year in 2022. She says she thought she was going straight to the top but got humbled. She says she had to earn her place here but wasn't ready. She says this is proof that earning something will always mean more than having it handed to you. She says she's no longer the girl who came from MMA, she's a WWE superstar.

Fatal Influence comes out. Jacy tells her to enjoy the win as it's the last win she will get from her. She says she has done this before and says she will be set up to be a 3x champ. Lainey says Jacy is the definition of Evolving. She says she ran this division.

Robert Stone comes out. He says Jacy can have her rematch next week. Lola says she will knock her out again. Fatal Influence then jump Lola. Lola gets the edge and sends them all off.

Overall thoughts: There was a lot going on here like usual. I liked everything except the intergender match. I'd say the 8-man tag was probably the best thing on this one. I had no problem with this one and thought they did a decent job. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and it was an okay show.
