The man known as the 'Monster Among Men' was out to show he had what it takes to finally defeat Lesnar and he proved it after a German Suplex.

Kairi Sane (NXT)

What a week for the woman who has been referred to as 'the next Asuka'.

The 'Pirate Princess' signed a deal with NXT earlier in the Summer and now looks to help fill the void in the Women's Division left by Asuka, who has moved to RAW.

Goldust (RAW)

Goldust is considered to be a legend in WWE; he's a veteran of the business and is keeping the legendary Rhodes family name in the company.

The painted superstar has fallen down the ranks recently, though, but it was a new low this week.

Bray Wyatt not only beat him but rubbed off his face paint to reveal the defeated man underneath, something you hope he'll be able to get revenge for at some point.

Wolfgang (NXT)

Wolfgang was given an opportunity to face Pete Dunne for the U.K. Championship on NXT but once again 'The Bruiserweight' Dunne managed to brush aside the challenge to retain his title.

Following the match, the team of Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O'Reilly, collectively known as The Undisputed Era, hit the ring and attacked the Champion.

Wolfgang came in to help his fellow Brit, only for Dunne to walk away and allow the trio to turn their attention to Wolfgang instead.

It was a lesson in street smarts but it at least showed Wolfgang and his fellow UK stars are getting top billing on NXT.
