The best and worst of the Mae Young Classic episode 7

Best: Io vs. Deonna

This was the match of the night, though it still felt like something was missing, particularly in the middle when the crowd was prone to long bursts of silence. Nevertheless, this was a contest that was wrestled with both technical finesse and high speed, devastating looking strikes.

We also got to see Io Shirai in a vulnerable position, being put in Deonna's armbar in the center of the ring. Deonna Purazzo tried to go for the double armbar that she used on Xia Li the week before, but was unable to get it, and Io Shirai broke the hold with rollup pins several times.

Io eventually delivered a moonsault (that she really does need to work on), for the three count and the victory. Nevertheless, Deonna Purrazzo showed a lot in this tournament, as she wanted to. It's a shame she's already taken a few losses in NXT.
