NXT 397 on the WWE Network:

Verdict: 4 matches and a decent showing that may be crucial toward future story lines for NXT superstars.  

Episode tidbits: 

Ember Moon versus Peyton Royce next week.

Paul Ellering says that the Heavy Machinery is foolish to want to challenge the Authors of Pain (AOP).  Heavy Machinery came to the ring and confronted the AOP but Paul told AOP not to engage them.

Kassius Ohno versus Aleister Black next week at the request of Ohno. 

Kassius Ohno seems to feel that Hideo Itami is not being himself and apologize for pushing him down last week.  Let's see if Hideo plays a role in Ohno's match next week!

Match 1: Drew McIntyre defeats Rob Ryzin (Match Grade: C+)

A pure power display by Drew with an occasional annoyance from Rob in a truly one-sided affair.

Match 2: Authors of Pain (AOP) beats Anthony Dominguez & Wilmer Freyday (Match Grade: B)

Akam beat both men by himself - QUICKLY! 

Match 3: The Velveteen Dream wins over Raul Mendoza (Match Grade: C+)

Raul came to play, which seemingly made the Dream extra aggressive throughout the match.

 

Match 4: Nikki Cross VS Ruby Riot VS Asuka in a Triple Threat Elimination Match ended in a No Contest (Match Grade: C+)

Ruby and Cross tried to team up to keep Asuka from retaining the championship by teaming up against her, but the unlikely duo could not keep their hands off each other to make the union work.

Cross eliminated Riot and then the match started to collapse.

Asuka and Cross refused to keep the fight in the ring, so the ring called the match a no contest.  Asuka and Cross brutalized each other backstage, back in the ring area, and then finally the technician area.  They both end up crashing through a table in the tech area.
