According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, word going around backstage is that the NXT special on the WWE Network was a homerun and a job well done by everyone involved.
Charlotte had her father in her corner as she defeated Natalya, who had WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart by her side, to become just the second NXT Women's Champion in history. The match was well received by many people backstage, with some calling it the best Divas match in a long time.
