Best and worst of NXT TakeOver: Wargames II

#4 Best/worst: No new superstar at ringside

Many of our writers were speculating who would be spotted at ringside, in our chat group. Punishment Martinez and Chelsea Green were brought up, because they've both signed with WWE. Unfortunately, X-Pac was the only superstar that we saw at ringside this week. And his dog, if it counts.

One of the most thrilling aspects of any TakeOver is surveying who's coming over to the roster next. Matt Riddle was the last person spotted in such a manner, and he's gone on to make waves. It was disappointing to not see anyone new.

But at the same time, the current roster is supremely stacked. Maybe NXT's focus is on building the current crop of talent instead of signing a horde of new talent, at this very moment.

We did see Io Shirai and she is certainly exceptional.

What an amazing moonsault she delivered during the match!
