NXT's been really trying to fix the mess they made with Rhea's star rise and direction after Charlotte deflated it earlier in the year.

Post match stuff, sure, but I thought the ending was great. Fantastic match. Only complaint is Dakota working the arm over for 5 minutes in the beginning. Like, I know Io's arm was the story, but they could of done something a little different to work that angle besides a bunch of arm holds one after another. Maybe even have Dakota do the arm stomp that Bazsler did to her, since Io brought that whole thing up.
But it was still a well worked match. Enjoyed it a lot.
Mcafee was impressive. Guy seems like a natural, and covered up his inexperience with some good heel work. That said, I didn't really care about this match, because they've done nothing in the build to get me behind Adam Cole. Part of me is happy he stayed himself, because one thing I hate about WWE is how people change into a completely different person when they turn face, with no explanation whatsoever. But by that same token, you have to give fans more than "this guy is a slightly bigger douchebag than this douchebag" to turn someone face.
I don't care about Cross, so I skipped the main event. Seems dumb to take the title off Lee already.
