Just saw this shyt. God Damn.

These two women are really where it's at, i like the main roster, but it's really a salespitch compared to what these two women just did. They made a big deal about MITB being historic, but watch Cross vs. Asuka and that is a complete fukking performance, alos Nikki was made off that match,

- Truly hardcore, not in dumb ass CZW nonsense, but all the spots where legit no stuntman shyt. The finishing spot was just off the fukking charts.

- The selling of both women, you really believed these 2 were beat to a pulp and barely holding on.

- The actual in ring work, crisp, impactful and believable.

- The character work, Nikki Cross is at that level now where you believe her character, she is that crazy ass woman. She reminds me of a female Foley/Funk.

- Asuka's credibility, she's wrestled every woman in NXT, but this match to me was her best yet.

GO WATCH THIS shyt

I need to watch that shyt still.. The match they had that led up to this one was crazy tho..the Triple Threat or whatever it was... Asuka and Cross just went all over the place doing all this wild shyt. it was definitely the most interesting thing i've seen in the WWE in the last few months outside of the Rise of the Maharajah.

This match was EVERYTHING. My heart stayed in my throat through the whole match. It was a great brawling, sprawling rumble through the arena.

I managed to remain unspoiled, but I knew if the title had changed hands, WWE would have blasted it all over social media. Because they can't help but spoiler the fans.

I maybe would have liked a little more character-based motivation on Nikki's part, because I feel like 'crazy' is a convenient fall-back for when there isn't a personal issue between the two competitors. But Asuka's vainglorious heel is golden.
