Shotzi Blackheart has been looking good on WWE NXT for some time now, but for some reason has not been able to get that winning combination she needs to rise to the top level.

In a feud that has been raging for some time, on the January 13 episode of WWE NXT, Shotzi Blackheart faced off against Candice LeRae in a match hoping to bring that rivalry to an end. Despite a strong start from Blackheart, in the end, it was LeRae who came away with the win.

Candice LeRae used the distraction from the interference by Indi Hartwell to hit the Swinging Neckbreaker and pin Shotzi.

The match was an incredible one that saw Shotzi Blackheart answer everything that Candice LeRae threw at her in the WWE NXT match. LeRae also established herself once again as a solid heel on the NXT women's roster.

Kyle O'Reilly and Finn Balor's chemistry in the ring has been undeniable every time the two stars have faced each other. The ability of both stars to wrestle and hit each other with everything they have captured the imagination of the fans.

The first time they faced each other, Finn Balor's jaw was left damaged. That was the focus of Kyle O'Reilly as he battered the jaw of the WWE NXT Champion the entire time they faced each other.

The battle was fierce, with Kyle O'Reilly even using his teeth to grab the rope in the absence of any other free appendage. Finally, however, Finn Balor was able to retain the WWE NXT Championship as he took down O'Reilly and made him tap out to retain his title.
