Winner: Ricochet

Ricochet got the weakest match of the NXT talent this time around, but that was to be expected with the mundane Eric Young. He still managed to shine, however. With his offence, there's no way that he couldn't. There were a lot of rest holds throughout the match, but it set up the Future of Flight to do what he does best.

Judging by the past few days, Ricochet (and Gargano, too) seems to have avoided the curse of 205 Live, which is a fate that many of the NXT faithful feared for him. That's the biggest takeaway here, and it's clear the company views him favourably.

With WWE so void of star power, these four guys can provide the "fresh start" that the company has been crowing about but has delivered mixed results on since the McMahon's mea culpa in December. Any rebuild should feature all four prominently.
