Quick hits on WWE NXT
• On the same night in which A.J. destroyed her two competitors in a WWE trivia contest and then combined with Naomi to have a terrific match, she was eliminated from NXT Season 3. Throughout this season I had Naomi and Kaitlyn ranked Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, but I was still a little surprised to see A.J. sent home instead of Kaitlyn (the crowd booed A.J.’s elimination). A.J. is a far better worker than Kaitlyn and clearly is a huge wrestling fan, but Kaitlyn has the angle with Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler going for her as well as a certain “it” factor. Despite A.J’s elimination on Tuesday night’s show, I have little doubt that she will end up on either Raw or Smackdown at some point.
• The A.J.-Naomi match (which A.J. won) was one of the better women’s matches in WWE in some time.
• The Nikki Bella-Kaitlyn match wasn’t bad at all. Nikki, who won the match, continues to make strides in the ring. Kaitlyn, while still very green, is getting better.
• While I normally enjoy the humorous commentary of Michael Cole and Josh Matthews on NXT, it was pretty annoying when they were talking over the trivia contest.

Hey Kev, I think wwe putting the title on miz is like if lucas wrote wedge to blow up the first death star.

That's really surprising. I figured Kaitlyn would win in the end because of her angle going with Vickie and Dolph but I really thought Naomi would be dropped. She doesn't seem to have the crowd appeal that AJ and Kaitlyn have, the pros must -really- not like AJ...I can't imagine she lost the audience vote.

I would not mind making it in either of the Bella's strides!

I was shocked and upset that AJ was eliminated, especially given her last couple matches. If Kaitlyn wins this, I'll be seriously p***ed. There is certainly a role for Kaitlyn within WWE, but she needs to spend more time to earn her spot.
Naomi and AJ are both ready for the main roster, although as crummily as WWE treats its women these days, that's not as prestigious as it should be.
I expect (& look forward to) see all 3 on TV after NXT is over... and maybe even Aksana.
