We were thrilled to see Kairi Sane come back and make her mark!
Kairi Sane had been choked out by Shayna Baszler, only a few weeks ago. This was to write her off television, because of a real-life injury that she'd sustained. Much to the surprise of the NXT Universe, Sane made her return to NXT, this week. She did so, by interfering in the main event.

Sane and Baszler met in the finals of the Mae Young Classic. It's clear that their rivalry will continue on NXT as well. It is also clear that they are primed to fill up the massive void, left by Asuka's departure from NXT.
That concludes our NXT recap. We'll see you again in exactly a week, for more NXT action.
