NXT 6th November Review: Night of the Endless Squash


Time to watch the easiest 45 minutes of TV every week, good or bad it's always easy to watch. We're getting Sylvester LeForte facing Alexander Rusev and a rematch between Luke Harper and Kassius Ohno on tonight's show.
Show starts with a WWE.com exclusive (they do a lot of these now) with LeForte confronting the blonde women he says he doesn't know who she is and what's up with Rusev and he never had a problem with him. She speaks Russian and sends him away and that's that, so we get yet another accent on this show!
Sylvester LeForte vs. Alexander Rusev w/Lana: Renee Young is now on commentary regularly it seems as this week Alex Riley is on the booth. Lana comes out and does the introduction in Russian unsurprisingly she gets “What” from the crowd but in this case that is probably a legit question. LeForte has money in his hand and offers it to Rusev while staring at the group, Rusev meanwhile is doing this weird breathing really overselling just standing there. Bell rings and he whips LeForte hits the Vader running splash and the Accolade for a rather quick submission. No point to this match other than to push Rusev as a killer. Rusev didn't even take off his skirt! Winner: Alexander Rusev
Backstage Bayley and Charlotte are talking about fixing Bayley's headband and Bayley Wooo's getting a “I'm not my Dad” from Charlotte, you're damn right your not and we thank you for that. In come the BFF's and apologize for breaking the headband and give her a new one, Charlotte brushes off Rae. Charlotte says her issue is that they run around like they run NXT. Rae talks about how she's on the main roster now and they try to get Bayley to join them and Bayley stops Charlotte from attacking. Not a good segment but I guess this is the new feud for the BFF's.
El Local vs. Leo Kruger: This is Leo's return and I haven't missed him one bit, for those who missed it Leo was hurt (in angle) in his great match with Antonio Cesaro four weeks back. Leo misses a clothesline and Local gets some kicks but Leo pushes him off and hits his beautiful spinbuster for a 2. A series of whips and kitchen sinks by Leo he then whips Local to the corner but eats a boot, Local goes to the 2nd and Leo pulls the leg out with Local lands on the turnbuckle. Leo throws Local into the corner, hits the Slice lariat then a snap suplex and another. Leo keeps pointing and wagging his finger at Local for some reason. A 3rd suplex floated through to a front Guillotine for the tap out win. Leo has taken up pointing a lot and wagging his finger, that's his new gimmick. Nothing special here. Winner: Leo Kruger
We get another WWE.com exlcusive after a video highlighting the recent Paige and Emma accidental hits on each other. There's yelling, Paige says her's was an accident and Emma's was on purpose. Emma says it's not her fault that in the heat of the moment she hit her. Paige yells that she's not in the mood and she'll rip that face off and Emma just says “something wrong with that girl”.
Travis Tyler & Troy McClain vs The Ascension (Conor O'Brian & Rick Victor): Jobbers already getting “let's go these guys” chants and don't blame them. I don't want to watch this match one bit. Rick throws down Tyler and kicks him then tags, series of shoulder blocks in the corner then Conor does 5 headlock takedowns in a row without letting go. Tag to Rick who hits an STO then tag out, flapjack by Conor and another tag. Straight jacket double team and the Fall of Man for the win. Best part about this match was that they forgot who was legal after the Fall of Man so both left the ring and both came in at the same time which made me laugh. 3rd match in a row that was meaningless to me. Winners: The Ascension
Mojo Rawley vs. Tide Dillinger: I said this show was easy to watch and their pushing me tonight! Tie up and you can't help but notice that Mojo is sucking in air badly from the start. Tide hits a chop but Mojo comes out with a shoulder block he attempts a bodyslam but Tide floats over and hits a Russian Leg Sweep then chokes him on the ropes. Tide grabs a rear chinlock with a knee to the back but Mojo quickly gets up but Tide brings him down for crossfaces. I know they want to get his catchphrase of “I don't get hyped, I stay hyped” over but don't make Alex Riley say it! Mojo gets a bodyslam, he then gets down on all 4's rolls over a couple of times to block Tide from running then picks up Tide and runs him into the corner. Irish whip and 2 Stinger splashes followed by the Butt-Butt and the jumping Earthquake splash for the win. I fear they will push this guy and I don't think they should. Once again this match was pointless in my view. Winner: Mojo Rawley
We get a Raw Rebound about the Big Show angle and setting up the main event for Survivor Series a match I don't really want to see with Orton. It's then shown that next week Bayley & Charlotte will face the BFF's and Adrian Neville will face Corey Graves in 2 out of 3 falls match.
Luke Harper vs. Kassius Ohno: This match is getting some time it seems. Jumping kick by Ohno to start, the 2 then trade shots until Ohno gets the advantage. A couple of knee lifts by Ohno and some boots then chops. Ohno runs into a back body drop and Luke gets control he grabs a kick and hits a nice forearm. A bodyslam by Luke then a whip to the corner, low impact kicks to a downed Ohno. Ohno pops up with chops but eats an uppercut then a headbutt by Luke. Luke grabs a kravate and brings Ohno down, he fights up but gets brought back down. Luke hits some shoulder blocks in the corner and a nice sounding uppercut. Luke whips off Ohno who grabs the ropes and hits his amazing rebound elbow sending Luke to the outside, Ohno follows with a baseball slide leading to a break. We come back to Ohno hitting a Senton to Luke for a 1. Luke reverses a whip and Ohno floats over to the apron but Luke runs in and nails a big boot sending Ohno to the floor. Ohno just gets in the ring by 9 and Luke drops 3 elbows when he gets in. Luke hits a loud chop in the corner and just stands over Ohno after. Whip to the corner and misses a splash leading to Ohno getting a school boy for a 2 but Luke hits an uppercut when he gets back up. Luke then grabs a front facelock and does a pair of Gator rolls. Ohno fights back with knees but Luke fights back and hits a slingshot on the rope. Luke runs off the ropes but Ohno hits the other rope and a kick to the face, he starts fighting back with punches. Luke pushes him off and Ohno hits a side bulldog followed by a low dropkick to the side of the head, a jumping forearm in the corner followed by the blockbuster for a 2. Ohno goes for a neckbreaker, he gets pushed off and Luke runs into a boot but quickly recovers with the blackhole slam for a 2. Luke hits another big boot for a near fall. Luke hits a splash in the corner but Ohno pops up and hits the Ohno Blade aka a Rolling Elbow for a near fall. Ohno hits a series of boots to the face runs off the ropes into the discuss clothesline for the win. Again an odd choice of winner unless they really want to get into this feud more which I'm guessing is the case. This match was really good and the only thing worth watching on this show. Maybe next time Ohno won't be in WWE's bad books any more and he'll finally win but saying that he still looked great in a lose. Winner: Luke Harper
The main event is worth a look but nothing else on this show was, just a series of meaningless squash matches with guys you don't care about nor will you after. To save you some time Rusev is big, Leo wags his finger, Ascension yell in dark lighting and Mojo runs a lot. Watch the main event and enjoy.
