Bliss is on fire right now.

Not the best,most hyped show of NXT but it was still better than average. Every fan at the Full Sail Arena knows that these are some of the final days for Kevin Owens and Charlotte. Both of them had their respective matches and victories.Next week, Rhyno will bein action and it seems Samoa Joe is done with his share of squash matches since he’s about to face The Gore Rhyno next week. That seems like a match that was destined to happen since their previous opponents were fighting for the NXT title.Here the 5 points to note from this week’s show-

#5 Still the champions

Bliss is on fire right now.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

The tag team champions are slowly but steadily making their mark. They are making themselves stand out and Alexa Bliss is eactly the kind of manager they needed. She was the one who hugely influenced the tag team title match between them and The Vaudevillains. She derailed the contenders momentum and that led to the champs gaining the pin and the win with a rollup.

And even though Blake and Murphy were decimated by their opponents, Bliss sealed the night with a slap each on the Vaudevillains.

#4 An Absence

Finn Balor was absent this week.

Kevin Owens was in action this week but we didn’t see Finn Balor at all. And it may do him well. Since the new champion is nowhere near Owens on the microphone, absence only makes the heart grow fonder. It should actually feel like a monumental moment whenever the NXT Champion is making an appearance. And that kind of moneymaking possibilities are all there with THAT entrance and body paint and the wrestling skills.

And though there may be some who may think it to be a glaring absence from the show, but it all adds to something meaningful.

#3 Owens Fights

Owens fights and wins.

So after losing his NXT title to Finn Balor, losing by pinfall and submission by Cena and several disqualifications, Owens finally got to his winning ways in the latest episode of NXT. It was a welcome change. It’s a bit surprising for this victory to look so monumental since Owens was booked as great as Brock Lesnar ever since he stepped foot in the realm of the WWE. His NXT run, so far, has been greatly impactful and his initial days on Raw were superbly executed.

But Owens is right now in a lower mid card feud.

But this victory meant a lot, going into his rematch against Finn Balor.

#2 \'How you doin\'?\'

The Realest Guys in the room surprisingly lost

Enzo Amore and Big Cass have improved majorly in the ring and their mic work is, as we all know, legendary.

Here’s what happens when such an over tag team gets beaten surprsingly by another tag team- the tag team scene flourishes. Surely, it’s another loss for the Realest Guys In The Room but this makes their eventual entrance on the main roster or an eventual run with the tag titles even more enticing. They can’t catch a break and that works in their favor.

Now, let’s talk about Dawson and Wilder. This win has instantly catapaulted them as a tag team to watch out for.

#1 Better than yesterday

Dana Vs Charlotte was better than expected

Dana Brooke, like Eva Marie, hasn’t really been fully accepted by the many NXT loyalists. Sure, she’s green in the ring and on the mic but, well, this week what was extremely clear was that she’s improved a lot since her initial days.

The video package before their match followed an angle that made more sense for these two to have a feud. Charlotte and Brooke basically trained together and Brooke was agitated that the Nature Girl was chosen to be on the Tap Out promotional videos.

Also, their match was better than expected
