The May 4 edition of NXT promised the intense end of two important feuds.
Candice LeRae has long sought her first opportunity to hold gold. The NXT Women's Tag Team Championships have eluded her, but she was given one more chance alongside Indi Hartwell to topple Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon in a Street Fight.
Leon Ruff made his mark last year with a shocking upset win over Johnny Gargano. That single victory has haunted him since, leading to a rivalry with Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, who has felt entitled to the opportunity Ruff was given. They looked to prove their worth in a Falls Count Anywhere match.
Finn Balor has been missing for weeks. The former NXT champion was brutalized by Karrion Kross, losing his gold in a dominant main event performance. The Prince has recovered and had a chance to address his loss.
After both teams stacked their claim to the No. 1 contendership, Grizzled Young Veterans challenged Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher. In a rematch from the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, this was sure to be a special and physical matchup.
NXT has always been built on the promise of fresh talent stepping up to the plate, and this show had it all. Highlighted by multiple young stars, this was a packed card with tons of potential!
