NXT saw their Women's title change hands in a barnburner of a match. Raquel Gonzalez and Io Shirai put on a bout worthy of the main event slot. It was all capped off with Gonzalez dethroning Shirai and becoming the new Women's Champion.

This was a match of two tales. The majority of the match was like a game of cat and mouse.

Io tried to use her quick feet to stick and poke Raquel. On the other hand, Gonzalez displayed great strength with innovative power moves whenever she got Shirai in her grasp.

The Joshi Judas is the daredevil of NXT. Once again, she found something big to jump off. She hit Gonzalez with a crossbody from the top of the skull set design. It was easily the highlight of the night.

In the end, Io Shirai put Gonzalez over. This cemented her as the next star of the NXT Women's division.

Shirai could be on the move and make her debut on either RAW or SmackDown after WrestleMania 37.

Star Rating: 4/5
