WWE NXT Results: Biggest Winners, Losers and Moments from September 25

The September 25 episode of NXT is in the books, and the future of the brand is looking brighter and brighter thanks in large part to strong performances from bright young stars and some solid booking on the part of management.

The Lucha Ninjas, Sin Cara and Kalisto, are still tag team champions following a successful title defense against former titleholders The Ascension. Their win solidifies them as the new faces of the tag division.

Alexa Bliss turned in a strong performance against Bayley, cutting a quick pace and hanging move-for-move with the top contender to Charlotte's NXT Women's Championship.

Tyson Kidd continued to hang around the NXT Championship picture, thanks to his wife's love and the power of persuasion over current general manager William Regal.

On the flip side, Marcus Louis, Mojo Rawley and Bull Dempsey all left much to be desired Thursday night, leaving questions as to whether or not they can deliver at the next level of competition.

With that said, let's delve further into this week's winners and losers from NXT below.

Loser: Marcus Louis

If losing his hair back at Takeover II was not bad enough, poor Marcus Louis rolled into the NXT Arena this week sporting a wig and bad wrestling headgear as he squared off with Enzo Amore. Humiliated and seeking revenge, he wore down Amore throughout the contest but had his bald head exposed to the audience and his shoulders pinned to the mat.

As if the loss and the chrome dome were not enough, Louis' weaknesses between the ropes were further exposed. Still relatively inexperienced, Louis looked incredibly green as he relied heavily on punches and kicks during his match against Enzo Amore.

Things will get better for the young star, especially as he continues to show entertaining elements of his performances and works hard on his ring development, but for now a good match is not necessarily the first thing fans will expect when they see the Legionnaire walk through the curtain.

Winner: Alexa Bliss

The glitter-loving Diva took to the ring for her match against fellow babyface Bayley and had a great deal to prove. After defeating Alicia Fox in her debut match a few months back, she fell off significantly, becoming lost in the shuffle and losing in quick fashion to the likes of Charlotte and Sasha Banks.

Thursday night, she reminded fans why she gained so many accolades early in her NXT stint, wrestling a very competitive match against the hug-plexing top contender to the NXT Women's champion. Whether she was stunning Bayley with a flurry of near-falls and a big headscissors takedown early in the bout or selling her opponent's offense, she was very impressive.

Bliss does not figure to play much of a major role in the goings-on in the Divas division in the weeks to come. After all, the spotlight appears to be focused exclusively on Charlotte, Bayley and Banks. With that said, she has done enough in her brief time with the brand to give fans hope that the future of the NXT Divas roster is bright.

Loser: Mojo Rawley

Remember when Mojo Rawley was one of the bright young stars, destined to lead the brand into the future? Yeah, neither does management.

After Thursday's show, it is difficult to see any future ahead for Rawley that does not end with him undergoing a drastic character change or fading into obscurity. His in-ring skills are nowhere near where they need to be at this point in his career, especially considering the amount of television time he has received.

Worst yet, his promo skills, which were so solid in the pre-taped video packages introducing him to fans, have regressed to the point that he would be better off shutting up than speaking another word.

Winner: Tyson Kidd

Not only did Kidd benefit from his wife Natalya's love and support, he made a tremendous point while discussing his upcoming match against Adrian Neville for the NXT Championship.

He reminded fans that Neville has lost only twice in 2014, both times to him. That is an incredible mental edge to have over an opponent and one that allows Kidd to remain a threat to Neville, regardless of how many times he has come up short in title bouts.

Kidd has been as big an MVP for NXT as any other star on the roster here in 2014, and small details like that are a major reason why. He is a big-match performer whose size stunted his growth on the main roster, and now he is making the very best of an opportunity given to him on the most critically acclaimed show WWE produces.
