2017 ended with an absolutely smashing episode of NXT

#2 The Queen of Hearts has arrived in NXT

Everyone better watch out for Shayna Baszler — Everyone better watch out for Baszler

Ember Moon and Sonya Deville had a good match this week. However, there's no need to make any real mention of the match. Moon won quite easily with the Eclipse, destroying the Absolution member. What happened at the end of the match is certainly of note, though.

OH MY GOODNESS! @QoSBaszler just showed up to make a STATEMENT to both @KairiSaneWWE AND #WWENXT #WomensChampion @WWEEmberMoon! pic.twitter.com/FQfjtiseME

Kairi Sane emerged on the ramp, with her telescope, letting Ember Moon know that the NXT Women's Champion was in her sights. And then, the unthinkable happened. Kairi Sane was blindsided by the debuting "Queen of Spades", MMA Superstar, Shayna Baszler.

Bear in mind that the women have unresolved business from the Mae Young Classic. With the women of NXT having been called to the main roster, because of Absolution and the Riott Squad, we can imagine these two women bolstering the ranks in NXT, in coming months.
