NXT Women’s Championship Match
Bayley (c) vs. Nia Jax
This championship match told a simple story of Bayley overcoming the odds. This time, against a monster in Nia Jax, Bayley had to persevere an unfathomable beatdown by the Samoan monster. Nia beat the holy hell out of Bayley the entire match & Bayley sold the offense like she was dead.
A few times in the match, I thought Nia would win via ref stoppage. No matter how hard Nia tried, Bayley would not die. Bayley would prove how resourceful she is by using a Guillotine Choke to tap her out after multiple attempts. Nia hit repeated spinebusters on Bayley, breaking each submission attempt. The psychology of Nia being slowly worn down by said submissions is a simple story that was told extremely well.
This was Nia’s best match yet. Nia has serious potential to be the next Awesome Kong if she stays healthy and keeps up the hard work. Jax looked strong, even in defeat.
I wonder who is next in line to face Bayley? This match gets an A!
