BRM Reviews the 7/18/2012 NXT

[Big Red Machine]

TAMINA SNUKA vs. KAITLYN- 2.75/10

BIG E. LANGSTON VIDEO PACKAGE- great

JINDER MAHAL vs. PERCY WATSON- 3.75/10

LEO KRUGER vs. RICHIE STEAMBOAT- 4.25/10
Short, but it was done in a way that sets up well for a rematch

RAQUEL DIAZ DEBUT- The good news is that the ugly makeover is about 90% gone. The bad news is that her promo wasn't anywhere near as good as she is capable of. It was good, but I really don't like this "exfoliating ugliness" thing. The ultra-diva works fine on its own.

RAQUEL DIAZ vs. PAIGE- DUD!
Paige should be getting squashed. That is what Audrey Marie is for.

ALEX RILEY, ANTONIO CESARO, & AKSANA SEGMENT- very good.

JUSTIN GABRIEL vs. HEATH SLATER- 6.5/10
Not good enough for a main event, but Justin sold well.

Overall, not a good episode of NXT
