NXT: 5 Points to Note (28th June, 2017)

#3 A crazy confrontation before the match

The action began even before the match did

We saw Asuka being interviewed as she arrived at Full Sail University when she noticed her opponent Nikki Cross on the windshield of her car. Asuka watched in shock as security dragged the crazed member of SAnitY away from her, snarling and spewing venom as she was restrained.

The mind games began much before the match did, and added a deranged quality to the actual contest. It is easier to buy into the idea of Cross as a lunatic, as opposed to say, Dean Ambrose, because of her histrionics and her unpredictable ways.

We also liked how she was a part of the Itami-Ohno segment before Wolfe and Dain rushed the two men from behind.
