With the debut of Sanity and the return of Shinsuke Nakamura, this week’s NXT was a wild one.
Check out this week’s NXT Coverage to see who left with their head held high among all of the carnage this week.
Honorable Mention: Billie Kay: She’s not as green as Liv Morgan ad she’s got a ton of potential, especially with her Yakuza Kick finisher, but this feud with the awful Liv Morgan is not in her best interest.
5: TM61: Their win over Tino Sabbatelli and Roddick Moss was an impressive one that shows the power of their Thunder Valley Finisher.
4: Bobby Roode: Avoiding the wrath of Sanity was a smart move for Roode, but he’ll have to deal with Ty Dillinger soon enough.
3: Shinsuke Nakamura: The return of the NXT Champion came at a perfect time as the show desperately needed him to rebuild his feud with Samoa Joe.
2: Sanity: Wow. While Alexander Wolfe and Sawyer Fulton are scary and have potential, seeing Nikki Glenncross in rabid mode and Eric Young in his evil glory make Sanity a faction definitely worth keeping an eye on.
1: Samoa Joe: The Samoan Submission Machine continues to disrupt NXT and this week out he decimated both Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy. With Nakamura back on the show, Joe will get his shot at the NXT Title soon enough.
