WWE NXT's Best Moments Feature Keith Lee, Shotzi Blackheart, Timothy Thatcher, and More
NXT was packed to the brim with exciting matchups and off the wall action, though there are [...]
Crazy Finish
Drake Maverick was able to seize an opportunity and pin Jake Atlas in part because Kushida had him in an armbar, but it was his victory nonetheless. It was a crazy finish to a great match, and even though it was eventually shown that Atlas tapped right before the three count, Kushida wanted Maverick to take the match anyway.

The Flashlight
Another highlight of the night came after Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae made their way to the ring for a quick match. Before they could celebrate much we got Mia Yim and Keith Lee doing a parody of Gargano and LeRae's recent vignettes, and it was hilarious. If you want a taste of how good it was, look no further than Lee trying to look ominous with a flashlight.

If Shotzi's intro is in an episode of NXT, you are damn sure it will be featured here, because it is amazing. Nuff said.

This match was actually full of great moments, but Dakota delivered a priceless one when she jacked Shotzi's tiny tank.

prevnextRough Landing
This dive off the ropes looked really impressive, but the landing looked rough, and we just hope Shotzi is okay after the fall. She seemed okay over the remainder of the match, so fingers crossed it was just a bad tumble and nothing more.

prevnextMissing Teeth
The match had only been underway for just a bit, but it wasn't long before Timothy Thatcher was reaching for his mouth and cupping some blood. It turns out that Riddle knocked two of his teeth out, but despite the blood, he was cleared to keep going.

Oh My Bro
While he wouldn't take the victory tonight, Riddle left everything out on the mat and put his body through substantial punishment, including this epic flip from the top platform onto Thatcher below.
