NXT: Cole/Riddle, Io/Mia, Candice/Shayna

WWE NXT 10/02/19: Adam Cole vs. Matt Riddle
After seeing the gif of that one no-sell sequence float around, I almost didn't watch this, but my curiosity ended up getting the best of me. I sure am glad it did, because this was actually really damn good. Now that said sequence sure was awful & the kind of shit I don't like, but overall, this ruled. A red-hot sprint'ish championship bout in front of a thunderous crowd w/ one of my favorites in Matt Riddle kicking all kinds of ass. Loved pretty much EVERYTHING he did, and he sure got to showcase most of his lovely arsenal here. Banger of a match. ***1/2

WWE NXT 10/02/19: Io Shirai vs. Mia Yim
Mia's times on the offense are already pretty good, but with how great Io is at selling all of it, it's so much better. Io of course brings it big time on the offense herself, making sure everything looks impactful & pretty nasty. Real good match, with every bit of it being compelling. ***1/2

WWE NXT 10/02/19: Candice LeRae vs. Shayna Baszler
Natural pairing with natural chemistry with their natural dynamic of Shayna being the violent bully confidently on top, while Candice does what she does best, which is fight from underneath. It's a banger. ***1/2
