Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Shayna Baszler vs Kairi Sane

Here's the match video of Shayna Baszler vs Kairi Sane from this week's episode of NXT. This is a rematch of the Mae Young Classic finals which Kairi won. I post all of Kairi's matches for her fans who don't have the WWE Network. A couple of months ago, Shayna choked Kairi out to write Kairi off TV for a while because she was having trouble with her knee. Of course Shayna is the former UFC fighter who is being sold as a heel who goes too far. Her catchphrase is Tap, Nap or Snap. A couple of weeks ago she tried to break Ember Moon's arm. Kairi made the save and that set up this match. Fans already love Kairi as the undersized underdog with an appealing personality. The match was very similar to the match they had in Sept. Shayna beats Kairi down until Kairi uses a spear to turn the tide. Her mistake is going to the top rope for her flying elbow drop too soon and Shayna cuts her off and turns it into a rear naked choke for the win. Then Shayna calls out Ember Moon. That match will happen at the New Orleans Takeover show. So there is plenty of time to kill until then. I think the NXT tapings are tonight so I'll have a better idea of what the WWE will do. I saw some complaining about Kairi losing this match clean. I don't think a loss hurts her at all. The problem is the NXT women's division is a little thin right now and I think they wanted Shayna to have a competitive TV match. Shayna needs the push right now which is more important than winning or losing one match. I think Kairi making the save last week helped her more than the loss hurt her. She is a star regardless.
