THOUGHTS: Good main event, but not on the level of the 2 prior matches. Kidd being upset afterwards definitely would amount to a heel turn for him going forward, which I think would be good for him. Neville moves on to Breeze and those two should have some pretty fun matches.

Overall, another rousing success for a live NXT special. Highly recommend checking this out.
