My video opens with the “don’t
try this at home” warning but in French, if this keeps up I’ll hear it in every
language. We then go straight to Renee Young in the back who welcomes Bo Dallas
and I groan. Smiling like an idiot while wearing a plain NXT shirt. Renee
questions what Bolievers mean and he then steals Bret Hart’s phrase of the Best
there is etc. He says he wrestled at Mania with Renee pointing out it wasn’t
even the pre-show. He talks about his challengers earning the shot at his
title. Antonio Cesaro interrupts and says it was given to him and he earned
everything he’s got. He says that Bo is a young punk who is bringing down this
country and he plans on taking the NXT title and ends saying there will be no more
Bo (he’s got my vote). Bo makes fun of Cesaro’s US title reign, well at least
he’s still on WWE TV Bo. I guess the main event is Cesaro vs. Bo. I hated Bo
here such a goofy idiot.
Alicia
Fox vs. Paige in Semi-Finals of Women’s title tournament: Tie up to start
and Paige gets a school girl and then a headlock but Fox gets out with a head
scissors leading to a nip out and back to the headlock by Paige. Very slow mat
wrestling here until Fox pulls the hair to escape to the outside. Paige backs
Fox into the corner and delivers a whole bunch of elbows, she runs in but Fox
does the splits on the top rope and gets a sunset flip followed by a low kick
and a Northern lights suplex for a 2. Fox throws Paige into the turnbuckle
twice and stamps on the hand which leads to a snapmare and chinlock. A nice
back elbow for a 2 by Fox after Paige fights out and back to a chinlock with a
knee strike being added, I love things like that as why wouldn’t you deliver more
punishment in such a hold? Paige comes back with a jawbreaker, a scream and a
hairmare. A series of knees on the apron from Paige but Fox gets a dropkick
when she gets back in for a 2, a low kick from Paige and she hits her finisher the
Paige Turner for the 3. Paige advances to the finals. A really good divas match
here, NXT is the only place where the women seem to get a chance to shine it
seems. Winner: Paige
We get a “don’t try this at home”
ad from Zack Ryder, at least he’s getting some TV time I guess.
Andy
Baker vs. Conor O’Brian w/Rick Victor: I think they don’t trust Conor as a
singles wrestler so they put him back in a tag team although Conor is in a
singles match right now. Conor hits a series of shoulder blocks and does his
hang on headlock takedown (3 of them). Andy gets some strikes but Conor no
sells, an iffy flapjack and a leg drop to the back of the head for the 3. Take
that Hogan! Meh this was what it was and t wasn’t much. Winner: Conor O’Brian
Backstage Renee is with Adrian
Neville and Corey Graves, she says that Kassius was attacked last week and can’t
compete. Corey says you have to be ready for anything and there may be one
person who can fill his place. Neville asks for Regal to come help them take
the family out. Back to the arena and oh boy Sylvester LeForte is here, I don’t
understand one word he says but he introduces Scott Dawson even the commentator
mentions that Sylvester is hard to understand so why make him a talker?
Scott
Dawson vs. Xavier Woods: Let’s see if Scott is better as a singles star. Tony
(the commentator) calls Woods the Quintessential Showmen and I liked that
because Quintessential is my favourite word. Fans behind Woods from the start.
Tie up leads to Scott hitting punches and kicks in the corner, Woods floats
over and then gets a boot up and a sick chop followed by an atomic drop and
another chop for a one. Woods attempts a back suplex but Scott punches out he
misses a clothesline and gets hit with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Dawson
comes back with a forearm, Woods is on the apron and gets distracted he
attempts to float over but Scott sweeps the leg mid jump and Woods falls out
hitting his face on the apron, a bit hard to accept since he was jumping at the
time and Scott sweeped now if he had pushed back that would have been
believable. “Dawson Sucks” chants I agree, he pulls Woods over the ropes by his
hair and drills him to the mat. Back elbow and leg drop for a 2 followed by more
strikes and a chinlock. Woods fights back with a jawbreaker and a European uppercut,
starts fighting back with dropkicks, hits his Honor Roll and Lost in the Woods
(Sole Food) for the win. Woods has a lot of high to him while Dawson doesn’t. Winner: Xavier Woods
Promo from Bray Wyatt. He says
people stopped being human when they became beasts and that happened when they
started judging people like him by the way they look, act and feel. He is a
wolf in sheeps clothing and if you could see the monster you’d know why you had
just peed yourself (yep that was part of it). His beasts walk upright and they
gave you a choice. The end is coming and all that will be left is chunks of
meat. A good promo from Wyatt as always and I different cover everything he
said here.
We come back to Enzo Amore w/
Colin Cassidy talking about how he’s a stud. Mason Ryan is already in the ring.
Fans are with Enzo in his promo showing how much Mason has fallen.
Enzo
Amore vs. Masoln Ryan: Enzo runs into a punch and Ryan wins. Enzo calls
that crap and he wasn’t ready, he sends in Colin and we have another match.
Mason ducks a clothesline and hits 2 clotheslines, he yells to no reaction and
hits a cobra clutch slam for the win. Ryan just comes off so silly just yelling
and flexing his muscles, I know this was done to make him look great but I
think people just aren’t into him Winner
both time: Mason Ryan
Antonio
Cesaro vs. Bo Dallas(c) for NXT Championship: Cesaro has the “We
the people” flag. Fans boo Bo the moment his music plays, no one likes him and
I just want him to go away, he’s just got this greasy slimball look to him and
he over plays his babyface. Fans chant “No more Bo” I’m not alone it seems and
then fans chant “We the People”. Cesaro gets a backslide from a tie up but Bo
gets a school boy soon after. Bo gets a firemen’s carry and an arm bar. Female
fans chant for Bo while everyone asks for “No more Bo” extremely Cena-esc here.
Cesaro gets a headlock during which the commentator mentions that one of Bo’s
heroes is John Cena, so he must love the situation he’s in. Cesaro powers Bo
down with a shoulder block and back to a healock. Bo gets a dropkick for a 1
and Cesaro comes back with his trademark European uppercut. This was a great
spot Cesaro was down by the ropes and Bo went for a running kick, Cesaro ducked
and school boy’d him through the ropes to the outside I’ve never seen that before.
Cesaro throws him back in for a 2 and we go to break. We come back to a
chinlock and Leo Kruger is out on the ramp. Cesaro hits a knee lift and a stiff
clothesline for a 2, no chance for Bo to fight back. Cesaro with a running
football kick to the back to “One more time” with Cesaro teasing it but locking
on a chinlock, trying to make himself a heel but it failed. Bo gets cut off
again but starts fighting back with forearm and a running mafia kick to the
side of the head, leading to a splash in the corner and bulldog for a 2. Cesaro
breaks from a irish whip and locks on the chinlock again but Bo fights out and
floats over a body slam attempt into a reverse DDT. Bo goes for the run up
bulldog but is crotched on the top rope and Cesaro drags him across the rope.
Cesaro hits a Gut Wrench Superplex for a near fall. Cesaro off the 2nd
rope with a knee, he got good distance for another near fall. Cesaro relocks
the chinlock and swings Bo around they go down and Bo rolls the hold into a pin
in a nice spot but it’s 2. Cesaro hits a fall away slam but he holds on into a
pin for 2. Cesaro with mounted forearms and a big stomp, Cesaro then goes to
the top rope but Bo runs up and gets an arm drag, don’t tell Kurt Angle or his
Twitter will get “hacked”. Both men are down after that and as both men get up
Leo jumps on the apron, Cesaro runs in but Bo moves leading to Leo & Cesaro
bumping into each other and Bo gets his belly to belly for the win to loud
boos. Leo then attacks from behind for cheers and chants, Leo hits a weird face
plant but Cesaro hits a European on Leo and then attacks Bo with a big double
stomp but Bo starts fighting back leading to Leo coming back in and both men
attack Bo. Sami Zayn runs in to attack Cesaro and the 2 clear house. I guess we’ll
get a tag match from here, seems they have high hopes for Sami already. Winner and still champion: Bo Dallas
I think as much as I don’t like
Bo it’s very much the John Cena thing of whether you like him or not the guy
rarely wrestlers in front of silence and he gets a reaction, now it’s the wrong
reaction but it’s a reaction. I’m not surprised Cesaro didn’t win as I think he’s
got bigger plans in WWE or at least I hope he is my pick to win one of the
Money in the Banks. But back to the show the opener and the main event were
both great matches and everything in between at least had meaning. A better
show than last weeks in my opinion and again nothing was made official for next
week but a lot was teased so I’m interested to see what they will do.
