main event was really good. lyra's sell on that manhandle slam was fucking sick but the whole match was v strong and a testament to the calibre of wrestling in the women's division
props to becky for cleanly putting over lyra. none of that charlotte triple threat "i didn't actually get pinned" garbage. becky spent her entire reign elevating younger talent, which is more than can be said for most champions. legend
like yeah she won her matches in the lead-up to hand lyra the belt, but a) it gave NXT folks a chance in the spotlight -- and they all performed well to boot -- and b) now that lyra goes back with the belt as the person who beat becky lynch, whoever gets the belt next is the person who beat the person who beat becky lynch, etc.
it has a flow-on effect of elevating the credibility and status of the NXT women's championship, and i think it's really laudable that becky has made it her focus, much like cena has with LA knight, to put over other people for their moment rather than try to turn this into an ego-stroke where they refuse to job to nascent talent
anyway, good stuff
