Best: Taynara Conti improves, Jessie Elaban has potential

This match was disjointed at times, but that shouldn't be surprising when it comes to two Performance Center rookies. All that said, it was an admirable effort despite the competitors' lack of experience.

Taynara Conti has improved a lot from last year. She's ready to regularly appear on NXT TV now and hopefully, she will. Taking a page from Pete Dunne and Shayna Baszler's playbooks, her small joint manipulation looked nasty, and she even did them one better by using the ropes for it. Conti has to improve her character, but that will come with time.

Jessie Elaban, meanwhile, did far better than you would expect someone to do in her first televised match. The reports from the house show circuit weren't exaggerated in their praise. She still has a ways to go, but that will come with time.
