Thoughts: All 3 had a shot at this one here for different reasons. It was an okay match but the three-way format always limits some things. Jacy had a bunch of wardrobe malfunctions during this as the screen kept going black. I figured they'd save Lola's win for when she was closer to home. I think Lola being active in AAA played a factor in her winning this. I'm not sure where this leaves Jacy other than going to the main roster. She's done everything here.
We get a graphic saying Kali Armstrong is coming to NXT. She's really long overdue for that.

Thoughts: Blake Monroe matches really only hit a certain quality level for the most part and don't quite get as good as they should. I didn't think they had a great story here and there wasn't a lot besides various moves. I thought it average. Blake really hasn't been a big hit in NXT like she should have and her losing matches like this isn't a good sign for her.

Thoughts: Tony finally won the big one here after years. He should have won it a long time ago and under his old gimmick. Joe's reign was a total waste of time but he has never been booked well here and it's not even shocking. The real story of this one was Saints and Page not getting along. That made for some entertaining moments. It was an okay to good main but nothing too memorable.
Overall thoughts: The show didn't feel as special by not being on Mania weekend and the smaller venue also did it no favors. I feel like Lola and Tony really got robbed as their big title wins weren't that well built up to and both happened in front of much smaller Stand and Deliver crowds than usual. WWE has been getting the rep of pushing moments over good booking lately and it felt like that here. The booking going into this was not strong and it did not feel like the biggest NXT show of the year. NXT is definitely missing something after the Trick/Oba/Je'Von graduations and they just haven't found their footing yet. I honestly think they focused too much of the women's division and not enough on the men's division. I think maybe people like Keanu Carver, Kendal Grey and Swipe Right might be able to turn it around, but that will be more of a 2027 thing.
The opener was okay and I liked the tag title match maybe more than anything else on here. Sol/Zaria was fine. I didn't enjoy Blake/Tatum or Borne/Johnny that much. The main was okay to good mostly due to the antics between Saints and Page. It's nice to see Tony finally win the big one but I wish it would have happened a different way.
I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and I thought it was just okay. There was nothing great here.
