Wendy Choo and Valentina Feroz def. Jakara Jackson and Lash LegendI realized upon seeing Choo in this match that I haven't seen much of her lately on NXT TV. Hey, I'm not complaining. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see that gimmick translating well to the main roster, so hopefully she's not considered for a main roster move in the upcoming WWE Draft. It's a shame because she's a good worker, but the shtick sucks. At any rate, this was pretty pedestrian stuff from all involved. I'm still amazed Legend from being all over NXT TV when NXT 2.0 first got going to now losing consistently on Level Up. Again, I'm not complaining. Damon Kemp def. Oro MensahKemp has been teased as Eddy Thorpe's next opponent on NXT TV, so for as much as I like Mensah and feel that he's underutilized on Level Up, it was logical for Kemp to win here. This was the quality match you'd expect from them, though I feel they would have had a much better bout with more time. Then again, this was designed to be a showcase for Kemp and I understand why they took that approach. Edris Enofe and Malik Blade def. Kale Dixon and Javier BernalCould Enofe and Blade be main roster bound in the Draft? I don't think they're quite ready yet, but they've been directionless for a while, so it's something to keep in mind. Their chemistry as partners has only gotten stronger and the development of Blade in particular has stood out to me. I liked the dynamic Bernal and Dixon had during their backstage interview earlier in the episode and this turned out to be a nice little sprint. Overall ShowIt's worth noting that Robert Stone sat in on commentary with Byron Saxton and the new guy, so it will be interesting to see if he's a permanent addition to the team. He's already reunited with Von Wagner after one week, so it's not like he won't be a regular on NXT TV anymore. Nonetheless, this was an average edition of Level Up with three competent matches. With the Draft coming up, we might start to see more new faces featured to fill the void of those leaving the brand.
