Summary

The top half of the women's division didn't change, but the tag team match between Lacey Evans and Aliyah on one side and Dakota Kai and Deonna Purrazzo on the other was revealing.

Purrazzo was the sympathetic figure in the match while Dakota Kai was just there to take the pin from Lacey Evans.

By virtue of her partnership with Evans and a new gimmick, Aliyah might be on a role, though I have a hunch that both of them are being built up to be beaten, victimized, and conquered when Io Shirai arrives on NXT TV.

Candice LeRae remains a complete afterthought in the division, and if the spoilers from last night's tapings are any indication, she will continue to be. Her most important feature remains the fact that she's her husband's wife.
