Former NXT UK Women's Champion Kay Lee Ray is now a part of the black and gold brand, and is already making an impact on the show.

She had a confrontation with Raquel Gonzalez after the Women's Champion's win over Dakota Kai at NXT TakeOver 36 and was impressive in the ring two nights later. The Scottish Superstar is a great addition to a stacked women's division.

This week, Kay Lee Ray showcased her personality in an interview and had some strong words for the NXT women's locker room. She essentially set up matches with the likes of Ember Moon and Io Shirai. In fact, Ray will face Moon next week. It will be a solid contest between two great wrestlers.

#2 Worst: Mandy Rose's NXT return match has an odd finish

Mandy Rose wrestled her first match back in NXT, taking on Sarray. The match was pretty solid, but it ended abruptly. The Joshi star sent Rose out of the ring with a devastating dropkick, after which Gigi Dolin and Jacey Jane covered the former WWE RAW star's face with a towel.

The two carried Mandy Rose to the back, gifting Sarray a countout win. While both women were protected, this finish was weird. It came out of nowhere and continues the confusion surrounding Rose's NXT return. She might even get a new gimmick immediately, based on the supposed damage done to her face.
