Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Io Shirai vs Zoey Stark

Here's the match video of WWE NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai vs Zoey Stark from this week's episode of NXT. This is a non title match. Zoey Stark just signed with the WWE and after her solo debut last week, she was given a match against Io. Zoey wrestled as Lacey Ryan for SHIMMER and Impact among others. She was trained by Cheerleader Melissa. Though she debuted in 2013, Zoey took a couple of years off and returned in 2018. She looks good for someone who doesn't have much experience. So the match really picks up after the commercial break. Zoey probably gets more offense than she should. But Io doesn't like doing squash matches. She wants Zoey to look good and commentary probably tries too hard to put Zoey over. These days I don't care for these kind of matches because inevitably fans will overreact and think Zoey is a prodigy or something when the truth is Io makes her look better than she is. Of course Io won the match with her moonsault. The match is watchable but nothing special. Toni Storm came out afterwards and she will get a title shot in a couple of weeks. As for Zoey, I would like to see her against someone closer to her skill and experience level. Io Shirai can make anyone look like a million bucks. Enjoy the video!
