Leo Kruger vs. Sami
Zayn vs. Antonio Cesaro: A big
way to open the show I would have put this on in the main event.
Cesaro getting a big pop when he comes out, his in ring skill speaks
louder than anything else in my view fans even join in with the “We
the People”. Sami got a good pop as well and Leo got nothing, keep
this in mind as I think they'll pick Leo to win this but lets see
this. Cesaro jumps on Sami from the get go and pushes Leo away, Sami
then floats over Cesaro and armdrags Leo and then Cesaro. Follows
with a dropkick to Leo and Sami attacks Cesaro but he cuts him off
with knees and as Cesaro is choking with his boot Leo throws him over
the top and hits a hammerlock suplex to Sami. Leo starts attacking
Sami's arm and is constantly looking back for Cesaro this lets Sami
reverse an Irish whip which leads to Cesaro grabbing Leo and just
yacking him to the outside. Sami hits a beautiful tope con heelio to
both men leading to a break. We come back with Sami hitting a boot to
Cesaro on the outside and the fans chanting “Ole”. Cesaro blocks
a snapmare and hits a European uppercut, Sami gets put on the apron
and attempts a top rope cross body but Cesaro catches him and turns
it into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker in a very impressive spot but Leo
breaks up the pin. We get the typical face off in a triple threat
match when someone breaks a pin during which the fans chant “We the
people” this ends with both men trading shots and Sami rolling up
Leo for a 2. Cesaro hits a sick sounding European uppercut. Sami's in
the corner and attempts a boot to Leo who grabs him in a clutch and
Cesaro comes from behind leading to a double suplex spot which looked
awesome and got a massive reaction and a “That was Awesome”.
Cesaro deadlifts Leo up and out of the ring and locks in the rear
chinlock to Sami which leads to lifting up Sami and spinning around,
this leads to an attempted Neutralizer but Leo hits a clothesline
from behind and gets 2 on both men. Leo attempts a Northern Lights
but Sami blocks and ducks a clothesline by Cesaro leading to a
DDT/flatliner to both men. Sami starts fighting back against both men
with rights and sends Leo into Cesaro gets an O'Conor roll for 2 and
as he's kicked out walks straight into Cesaro who pushes him up into
the air but is caught in a Hurricanrana for a really close fall. Leo
gets sent to the outside by Sami but Cesaro gets the Neutralizer and
Leo throws out Cesaro for the win. A fantastic match but the wrong
guy won in my view, I don't think anyone will care for Bo/Leo but
there was reports of a 2 out of 3 falls match between Sami &
Cesaro which is said to be amazing so I'm hyped for that. Winner:
Leo Kruger
Scott
Dawson vs. Bo Dallas: Speaking
of not caring. The awful Sylvester LaForte comes out to introduce
Dawson, I don't know what happened to Garrett but I'd be fine if they
both disappeared. Regal says Dawson is like a throwback and if he was
losing his hair he'd look like an Anderson. Bo comes out to extremely
loud boos and acting like his typical over the top babyface character
which is beyond sickening. I'll try keeping up with this match but I
really don't care one bit. Tie up to start Dawson attacks with
strikes because that's all he does. Bo with 2 bad dropkicks and a
crossbody but Dawson back with a clothesline, leg drop, knee drop and
elbow drop. Think of a strike and Dawson will do it but don't think
too flashy. Headlock by Dawson with Bo fights back and reverses a
back body drop. Starts fighting back with forearms and his boot to
the side of the head to silence. Bo hits Raven's turnbuckle
clothesline/bulldog combo and a disgustingly bad belly to belly for
the win, which is worse since that's HIS FINISHER! I don't know what
WWE see in either men but they don't have anything. I don't get why
they don't turn Bo, I understand someone like Cena since he's so
important in the company but Bo means nothing so turn him heel and
ride out the boos. After Leo attacks to small cheers and hits a side
neckbreaker, he grabs the title and cuddles it to “Thank you
Kruger” chants. Winner:
Bo Dallas
Bayley
vs. Charlotte: No backstage
stuff so far and all advertised matches have happened so I wonder how
they'll close the show. Also why don't divas get last names in WWE?
Ric Flair comes out to a massive reaction, I thought for a second
they were giving his daughter his music which would have been a
massive mistake in my view she's gonna struggle to overcome his
legacy anyways just look at David! Ric asks if he's in Orlando,
Florida that could be for a cheap pop or a legit question knowing
Flair. He mentions his past in this past and how he loves it. He
feels honoured for being at NXT and he respects the locker room but
he's really proud to be here to introduce his daughter and he's going
to support her and that she'll be the greatest Flair offspring which
she has a good chance at since the untimely passing of Reid.
Charlotte showing some flexibility and gymnastic skills during her
entrance. Charlotte “Woos” to begin, might as well play of it.
During the tie up Tony Dawson mentions that the Wyatt's defending the
tag titles against Neville & Graves is the main event, a very
packed show. Charlotte and Bayley exchange arm ringers leading to
Charlotte doing a beautiful cartwheel through. Charlotte ducks a
clothesline with the splits and rolls up Bayley and floats over in a
beautiful sequence, she knows how to use her outside skills to her
advantage. Bayley gets a double leg float over, a backslide and a
cradle for a 2. Ric takes off his jacket to show he's serious. Bayley
gets a kick to the gut and a suplex for a 2. Charlotte does her
version of the Flair float over the ropes and sends Bayley into the
turnbuckle. Charlotte hits a iffy flying forearm but then a gorgeous
flipping low ace crusher for the win. Charlotte is really good and
has a great style, Ric looks like he's legit emotional. If Charlotte
keeps things up I think she'll do great things. Winner:
Charlotte
You
know how I said there has been no backstage stuff well I wished it
has stayed that way as we go backstage to Sheamus! It takes 2 seconds
for a fella to come out of his mouth, he says he's excited to compete
next week more than when he had his first pint. Thankfully before he
could get going the Wyatt's attack. Bray leans over him and says “It
takes one stone to bring a giant to his knees, now you tell him I
said follow the buzzards”. Looks like Bray/Sheamus next week. Still
backstage this time with someone called Tyler Breeze, he has his
back to the camera says he's a model and won't let the camera see his
face while he's being worked on by a team and says next week they'll
witness gorgeous. We will also see the finals of the NXT women's
title tournament next week.
Wyatt
Family (Luke Harper & Eric Rowen) (c) vs. Corey Graves &
Adrian Neville for the NXT tag titles: I
don't know if Kassius Ohno is legit injured or not but I would have
preferred him in this match, still that's a minor complaint seeing
his replacement. In ring introductions which I always love as it
gives off that big match feel, the only thing missing is Michael
Buffer. Luke gets a knee to Corey to start but he floats over and
hits a series of strikes and a hanging guillotine. He then pulls Luke
out and continues the attack, tag to Neville and the duo do a version
of the Hardy's Poetry in Motion. Luke fights back and a tag, Eric
with headbuts but there's a blind tag leading to a dropkick to Eric
while he's scooped up Neville. Eric attempts a shoulder block but
misses luckily it was his corner so a tag occurred but Luke is hit
with punches the second he gets in and Corey hits a series of dragon
screw leg whips. Eric comes in and Neville hits a springboard
dropkick. Corey attempts his chop block but Luke hits a mean looking
boot for a 2. We come back from break with Eric having Corey in a
head vice, he drives Corey into the corner and tags to Luke who hits
some nice strikes leading to a tag back out. Eric locks in a bearhug
after a brief double team, Eric hits an elbow after a brief comeback.
Tag to Luke and 3 elbows for a 2 leads to a crossface chicken wing
but Corey comes back with a sunset flip but he then eats a nice
dropkick which impressed Regal a lot. Tag back to Eric who locks on
an abdominal stretch, Corey then floats over a scoop slam and is
trying to make the tag but Eric has hooked his pants and pulls him
back into a clothesline. Luke back in and he whips Corey into the
corner which allows him to nail Eric and fight back against Luke but
he runs into a Black Hole Slam for a 2. Corey is whipped into the
corner and Luke attempts a big boot but misses and flies over the top
rope letting Corey get a very hot tag to Neville. Neville and Eric in
with Neville hitting flying forearms, he jumps over the rope onto the
apron and hits a high kick, Luke goes for a sweep of the legs but he
jumps over hits a kick and runs off the apron with a nice
hurricanrana. Eric runs at him but he pulls the rope down leading to
an incredible top rope springboard moonsault to the outside, both his
outside moves he lands on his feet with is very impressive. He brings
Eric back in and hits a 2nd
rope Phoenix Splash but Luke breaks it up. Neville goes up again but
Luke distracts the ref letting Bray crotch him on the turnbuckle but
only gets a 2. Sheamus comes out to attack to Bray and throws him
into the steps. Corey runs in with his chopblock and Neville hits the
Red Arrow for the win. A massive reaction to the win and it was a
fantastic match, Regal was phenomenal on commentary during this match
and you had to take the titles off the Wyatt's since their now in
WWE. Winners and new
Champions: Corey Graves & Adrian Neville
Every
match outside of the awful Bo/Dawson match had a big match feel to it
or at least an importance to it. Charlotte had a strong debut, the
triple threat opener was awesome and we have new tag champs. We also
got plenty lined up for next week with Bray vs. Sheamus, the finals
of the Women's tournament and a debut of some random model guy.
Really good show and watching going out of your way to check it out,
but you don't have to as I post a link with this as I'm so kind.
