WWE NXT Results: Biggest Winners, Losers and Moments from October 21

"Cowboy" James Storm spent 13 years of his life dedicated to the growth and evolution of TNA Wrestling. One of the cornerstones of that company from its start, he was integral in helping it expand from an upstart promotion to a destination for the sport's hottest free agents. 

Wednesday night, he waved goodbye to the past and hello the the present, arriving in NXT to a thunderous ovation from the fans packed inside Full Sail University. "You belong here!" they exclaimed as he took the squared circle then soundly defeated Danny Burch. 

It was a triumphant debut for the 18-year veteran of the squared circle, and it helped further establish Triple H's developmental territory as the hottest brand in pro wrestling.

In that sense, both Storm and NXT were the big winners from this week's broadcast, but there were others as well. There were also two wildly popular losers from the show, meaning not everyone escaped with their heads held high.

Who were they? Why did they end up on that side of the argument?

Take a look.

Winners: Peyton Royce and Billie Kay

The first few months of their stint in NXT, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay were essentially jobbers, Divas with no special entrances who existed solely to put their peers over and make them look good.

Wednesday night, fans got the first taste of what the brand has in store for those two Australian competitors.

Kay cut a very determined, almost heel-like promo prior to her match with Asuka, while Royce was valiant in her match with Alexa Bliss and had the fans behind her but fell just short of the upset victory.

Neither Diva won, but they experienced increased television time while also demonstrating growth as performers.

Where each goes from here—be it as singles or a tag team act—is a question only those in power can answer, but they certainly appear to have the tools necessary to carry on the rich tradition of women's wrestling in NXT.

Losers: Enzo Amore and Big Cass

For reasons that still do not make sense, one of NXT's most popular acts continues to be beaten down by bookers—Wednesday night was no different.

Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady may have scored the victory over Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder, but that win was little more than background noise to the bigger purpose of the match: put Dash and Dawson over as a legitimate threat in the tag team division. That was accomplished through a beatdown of the victorious babyfaces that resulted in them lying in a heap at the feet of the opposition.

Amore and Cassady feel wasted as of late. They are stars in their prime and as over as any other stars on the roster, yet they are never given the full support of management and that one opportunity to run atop the tag division and prove their worth in the role of champions.

Winners: Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson

Piggybacking on the biggest losers of the night were two men who were undisputed winners: Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson. Two immensely talented technicians, they spent a year as glorified enhancement talent, dropping match after match to the likes of Amore and Big Cass, the Vaudevillains and the Lucha Dragons.

A surge in the Dusty Rhodes Classic helped earn them momentum and, more importantly, attention, and now the duo (known to longtime NXT fans as The Mechanics) is en route to a tag team championship feud with Aiden English and Simon Gotch, as hinted at by commentators on Wednesday night.

It will benefit the tag division, which suddenly features quality teams like Dash and Dawson, Jason Jordan and Chad Gable, Amore and Big Cass and The Vaudevillains. While those four teams alone do not make a division, it is certainly a solid foundation.
