Both these men are credible contenders for the NXT Championship, and they showed why this week. Both men took each other to the limit and made us bite our nails constantly as they traded moves, holds, and covers. Ultimately, Aleister Black triumphed over Kassius Ohno, but from the story they told, it seemed like he did so by the skin of his teeth.
It remains to be seen how this loss features into Ohno’s current relationship with Hideo Itami. Their clash is inevitable, but we wonder how the events of this evening will influence that particular story. On that note, we bid farewell to you. Join us again next week, for more points to note from NXT.
