This week of NXT was an improvement over last week! — This week of NXT was an improvement over last week's show!

#2 A legal weapon

Bianca Belair has an ace up her scalp! — Bianca Belair has a real ace up her...well, her scalp!

When this match was first announced, we assumed that Lacey Evans, one of the women that NXT seems high on, would pick up an easy win over Bianca Belair. However, it was Bianca Belair who triumphed with some very unique offence.

If you watched the Mae Young Classic, you know that Belair uses her hair as a whip, making for some interesting television. She used it again, against Lacey Evans, allowing her to pick up the win. The best part, there's no rule against using your hair to win a WWE match!

This gimmick should get Belair over, especially with the main roster audience. We were also thrilled to see Dakota Kai, as part of the proceedings on NXT. Let's hope she makes her NXT debut, very soon indeed.
