WWE NXT - Best & Worst - AJ Styles brings back returning star, Surprise Royal Rumble debut confirmed?

#2 Best: Is this Pete Dunne's NXT swan song?

Pete Dunne may have wrestled in his final match in NXT. He lost to Tony D'Angelo in a brutal Crowbar on a Pole Match. The stipulation may not have been the greatest, but the action made up for it.

The match did get better after the crowbar was introduced as a weapon. The Bruiserweight locked in a crowbar-assisted STF, but his opponent broke out. D'Angelo hit the Englishman in the face with the crowbar to win.

While a decisive win for him, Tony D'Angelo would be further highlighted if Pete Dunne never appears on the brand again. He should be the main roster-bound, with the Royal Rumble being the perfect place for him to debut. The Bruiserweight can make an instant impact, much like Damian Priest did in last year's match.

#2 Worst: The 'Winner takes Elektra Lopez' stipulation

One of the most recent questionable storylines involved Elektra Lopez, who was caught in the middle of a triangle of sorts. Despite being a member of Legado del Fantasma but she became the subject of Xyon Quinn's affection.

Things came to a head-on tonight's episode. Quinn took on Santos Escobar, with Lopez leaving with the winner. It was seen as a primitive gimmick, with the female star being viewed as a prize for the men.

Also, this entire situation proved to be a waste of time as she turned on Quinn and allowed Escobar to pick up the win. While Elektra Lopez staying with Legado was positive, this entire angle felt unnecessary.
