NXT October 16th Review: A Night of Champions

For the first time I can safely say I'm looking forward to a Bo Dallas match granted that's mainly because he's working with Sami Zayn but it's a key upside to someone who has been lacking such a thing.
Show starts with a promo package highlighting the feud with Bo and Sami for tonight's title match mainly showing Sami pinning Bo as the masked El Local 2 weeks ago.
The Ascension (Conor O'Brian & Rick Victor) (c) vs. Adrian Neville & Corey Graves for the NXT Tag titles: I've mentioned before that changing Neville's music was an awful move it's so generic. Renee Young is on commentary I think she's going to be doing more commentary. Rick and Corey to start, Rick keeps missing punches with Corey getting a couple of shots in and keeps throwing him into the turnbuckle. Corey gets a hanging leg scissors over the ropes, Neville gets the blind tag and springboard dropkick with 2 running elbows. Bodyslam by Neville who jumps to the top rope, Conor runs towards him on the apron but gets kicked away, Neville then jumps over Rick and runs off the rope leading to Conor low bridging the ropes and Neville flying to the outside and he grabs his leg. We go to break and come back to see Conor attacking the leg and tagging Rick, Conor then holds Neville open for a gut shot I guess they must read this and learnt to stop lifting them up for that double team. Tag right back out and Neville gets the boot up and tries to run under and then over Conor who throws Neville out but he gets the tag to a little reaction, Corey nails some elbows and an STO. Corey sets up for the chop block and gets it then locks in Unlucky 13 but Rick makes the save again little reaction. Corey crawls over and tags Neville who is still visibly hurt and reluctant to get in, he does while limping and Conor dropkicks the leg. Rick gets tagged, Rick goes to pick him up but eats a kick. Neville goes for the tag but Rick hits a knee and they collide heads leading to Total Elimination and the 3. They need to name that move and once again this match got little reaction and was probably worse than they're match 2 weeks ago. I don't see any upside to the Ascension even their entrance, which got them attention in the first place, isn't anything special. After Corey comes in and has a go at Neville, who apologises but Corey chop blocks the leg and attacks him, my only problem here is that Corey ran the ropes before the attack why would Neville still stand there he should have just kicked him. This was expected from the start of their team and Corey is probably better served as a heel. Winners and still champs: The Ascension
Promo for Hell in a Cell and Cena's return plays, it's a demonic video but I have 2 problems. 1) why does he have beef with Del Rio and 2) As Jim Cornette put it the return doesn't mean much, “He hasn't been gone long enough for us to miss him”. We come back with the commentators talking about the Graves attack.
Tyler Breeze vs. CJ Parker: Tyler gets a big reaction when he comes out. This feud is dreadful and it has been from the start. CJ gets booed. The 2 argue in the ring and CJ chops him to start then an airplane spin, Tony brings up the finish of their last match where it ended via iPhone shot and Renee brings up the good point of “Are they even dangerous they're tiny now if it was the 80's style phone it would be heavy”. Tyler goes outside and CJ follows, then gets a sunset flip for a 2 coming in and Tyler fights back with a shove to little effect. CJ misses a dropkick and Tyler gets a boot and grabs his phone then endless clubs only stopping when they hit the ropes. CJ pops up and goes for a punch which stops Tyler. CJ gets a cradle for a 2 then a dropping clothesline and Tyler begs off, Tyler then gets a thumb to the eye and a spinning heel kick for the win. A dreadful match and I don't want to see these 2 interact ever again! After Tyler goes for a selfie with CJ but CJ wakes up and uppercuts Tyler to boos, he then grabs the phone and takes photos with the crowd. Winner: Tyler Breeze
Paige & Emma vs. BFFs (Summer Rae & Sasha Banks): Matching gold gear for the BFFs. Paige and Sasha to start with Paige & Emma arguing who will start. Thez press by Paige and head pounds, quick tag out to Rae and Paige stays in control. Emma gets tagged and Rae runs into the corner getting the tag, Banks runs into a drop toe hold and then into the turnbuckle. Emma gets a sunset flip for a 2 then a cradle for another 2 and Banks gets a boot to the gut and Rae gets Emma's attention leading to the heat. I'd like to say at this point that the commentary has been pretty great on the show, Renee & Regal are just busting Tony's balls and making jokes but are also paying a lot of attention to the work in the ring. Rae gets tagged and a leg choke which is 80% of her offence. Inverted pedigree by Rae for a 2 followed by a laying down surfboard, Emma rolls out and gets a roll up for a 2. Rae keeps stopping the tag until she rolls out of the grip this lasted too long in my view, Paige hits her knee lifts on Rae and Banks grabs her when she attempts to get in the ring but she kicks her off and hits a dropkick for a 2. A Perfectplex by Paige, Tony calls it a snap and Regal corrects him. Emma comes in but gets throw out by Banks who is then thrown out by Paige allowing Rae to hit her Matt Sydal leg drop move for the 3. I don't know where they're going in terms of a title match maybe a Triple threat. This was pretty good match no complaints really. Winners: BFFs
Bo Dallas (c) vs. Sami Zayn for the NXT Championship: Surprisingly no promos from either man on the show before this. “No More Bo” chants from the start then it moves on to “Sami” chants. Bo seems to slip on his own feet to start, Sami grabs an arm ringer and Bo reverses it but Sami quickly gets an arm drag. Chant of “Bo has cooties”, random. Bo gets a cruifix pin and then a roll up and a school boy all for 2 counts. A tie up and headlock by Sami into a hammerlock back to a headlock until Bo escapes and grabs a headlock then hammerlock and strikes from behind. A series of knees to a downed Sami by Bo for a 1 , then more knees for a 1 and another pin. A great bit of story telling of Bo taking advantage of the first real bit of offence he got and not letting Sami up. Bo grabs an kravate and Sami gets gut shots but is cut off. Whip to the corner but Sami runs out with 2 clotheslines and a back body drop, he sets up the running mafia kick and hits it for the 3 but Bo put his foot on the rope leading to JBL coming out and restarting the match saying “This will not happen under his regime” and says “Referee don't make me learn your name”. Bo attacks from behind leading to a break, honestly I don't know if I would have done that false finish especially since Bo had his foot from the beginning of the pin he should have done that at the 2. Another demonic promo for Hell in a Cell plays this time for the WWE title match, sadly this program was killed by bad booking. We come back with Bo having a kravate and then hits a clothesline for a 2 then grabs the kravate back. Bo runs at Sami who low bridges him to the outside and nails a tope con heelo, back in and Sami goes to the top rope and hits a great cross body for a near fall. Sami sets up the kick again but Bo grabs the leg but is nailed with a Blue Thunder bomb for another near fall. “Let's go Sami” chants starts and Sami picks up Bo who gets a kick to the gut and a running side kick then a climb up bulldog for a near fall. Bo hits a reverse DDT for a 2, fans a super into this. Bo whips Sami and misses an armdrag, Sami then gets the boot up and a spear for a really good near fall. Sami sets up his climb up DDT but Bo escapes and crotches Sami on the ropes, Bo hits the spear but Sami kicks out to a huge pop. “This is awesome” chants, both struggle up and Bo hits a forearm he puts Sami on the top rope and attempts a superplex but Sami fights back and hits a sunset bomb for a real near fall. A German suplex by Sami who hangs on during which the turnbuckle pad on the low right corners top rope comes off, they head towards that corner but Sami gets another suplex, the ref removes the pad allowing Bo to throw him into the exposed buckle and school boys for the win. Easily Bo's best match I've seen and I just hope they do a rematch with Sami winning but a rematch in general would be good. This was a great match and they had the false finish to keep Sami as a title contender and Bo looked like the desperate heel by winning like that. Winner & still champion: Bo Dallas
The main event was a great example of what can happen when you put your top babyface (who is actually getting the reaction of a top babyface) against your top heel, the fans were invested from the very beginning until the very end and it only added to the match which to be far was a fantastic match regardless. Outside of the main event this wasn't a great show, we got some story progression for some feuds but the in ring stuff was just lacking and the fans reaction was with it, it was a pretty quiet crowd for the most part but an upside was the commentary this was one of the first weeks I really paid attention to them usually it's just background noise to me. So basically what I'm saying is listen to the show don't watch it.

NXT October 9th Review: SPOTLIGHT!

So RVD's on NXT, I'll be honest right now not the biggest fan of his in ring work so don't have high hopes but when put with the right guy he can be good let's see how they use him.
Speaking of Van Dam like last week they play the promo video for the guest tonight to start the show, the video makes Van Dam look awesome but all clips are a decade old or older. They've added Cesaro and Sandow to the NXT opening which makes little sense to me as they're seen as WWE guys and Sandow hasn't been in NXT for months now.
Leo Kruger vs. Antonio Cesaro: This match is a result of last week when both wanted to answer the Bo Invitational. Cesaro is pretty much a babyface in NXT without ever doing the Giant Swing. Bell rings and Cesaro hits a running dropkick and rips Leo's shirt off. Forearms and kicks until Leo hits a series of chops he then whips Cesaro to the ropes but he grabs them and ends up eating a clothesline to the outside. Leo follows and back racks then throws him into the apron and again. Leo chokes Cesaro with the ring skirt and drops an elbow, Cesaro rolls across the ring and hits a shoulder block then runs in with some knees. Fans are chanting “Push Cesaro” kudos to that! Cesaro hits a big boot and a double stomp then chokes on the rope, this is really coming off as a hard fight instead of a wrestling match. Cesaro hits a running football kick to the back follows with 2 suplex attempts but Leo gets the suplex and some gut shots. Leo puts the boots in the corner and a Russian Leg Sweep for a 1. Cesaro reverses the whip in the corner and nails a running European Uppercut for a 2. Cesaro hits an odd urinagi slam and climbs to the top but Leo catches him and gets a Superplex leading to the break. We come back with Cesaro getting knocked off the apron leading to a suicide dive. It's announced by the commentators that Aiden English is getting the match against RVD. Back to the ring and Leo hits his beautiful Spinebuster, when that move is done right I love it. Leo goes for the Slice Lariat but Cesaro escapes, Leo goes after him but gets thrown into the steps. Cesaro throws Leo back out of the ring and hits a back suplex onto the apron. Leo gets back in at 7 but again gets thrown out, Cesaro is going for the count out win. Cesaro hits a Gutwrench suplex on the ramp and Leo gets back in at 9. Cesaro hits a long series punches and uppercuts and then the Waterslide (haven't seen that in years) for a 2. Cesaro goes for the Neutralizer but Leo gets a body drop and then hits an elbow but runs into the pop up European for a 2. Cesaro grabs his choke sleeper with a body scissors, Leo starts fighting back but Cesaro hits a short arm clothesline and the Neutralizer for the win. A great match between these 2 with both looking great at the. After Cesaro hits a top rope knee drop and Leo grabs his throat, Cesaro looked like a killer by the end of this and Leo looked good by surviving so much abuse by Cesaro. Winner: Antonio Cesaro
Charlotte w/Bayley vs. Santana Garrett: Renee Young is one commentary for this one. I'd like to say again that WWE are sometimes awful with coming up with names! Tie up to start and they trade roll throughs while remaining tied up, Charlotte then gets an arm ringer which Santana rolls through and then Charlotte does a gorgeous cartwheel to reverse that. Santana pulls the hair and gets an elbow then drops Charlotte into the corner and hits a weak low running kick. Santana hits a Russian Leg Sweep into an arm lock during which Summer Rae & Sasha Banks come down for some reason. Charlotte gets out with a roll up and hits some chops into her drop down roll bridge move. Charlotte gets distracted and rolled up for a 2 but hits a firemen's carry flapjack and her flip low diamond cutter for the win. I've said before that a little bit more experience and Charlotte will be great, she has such a unique style and good look. Rae gets in the ring with a mic and says They are the first lady and the boss of NXT. They will run NXT and WWE and no one can do anything with Paige being out, this leads to Paige running in an attack them both but the numbers game gets her fans chant “Emma” and she does make the save. This kind of overshadowed Charlotte's match. Winner: Charlotte
A video for Goldberg's DVD play, spoiler alert there's a lot of spears and Jackhammers. We go backstage with Rae & Banks I'm so tired of them talking. They say the same thing they did in the ring and then challenge Paige & Emma to a match for next week.
Mojo Rawley vs. Danny Burch: Is Danny Burch Martin Stone? After checking he is and how did I not notice this before? I did wonder what happened to that guy. I guess Mojo's gimmick is he's always excited and full of energy, so a new age Ultimate Warrior minus the paint. Tie up leads to Danny hitting a shoulder block in the corner and a club to the back, Mojo blocks and the reverses a whip to the corner but Danny gets the elbow up. Mojo fights back and sends Danny into the corner but Danny gets a stiff punch to the face for a 2 then grabs a rear chinlock. Danny hits 3 elbows for a 2 and then grabs a arm trap head twist. Mojo ducks a clothesline and hits 3 shoulder blocks and 2 stinger splashes followed by a running butt butt and the Earthquake splash for the win. My one compliment is that finisher, he does get some nice height but he doesn't have the size to make that believable in my view he was only slightly bigger than Danny. Winner: Mojo Rawley
Backstage we see Emma with Paige and Paige says she didn't need her help but Emma disagrees. They get told about the challenge and both recap why they don't like the 2 so they both agree to the match.
Legionnaires (Scott Dawson & Alexander Rusev w/Sylvester LeForte) vs. Enzo Amore & Colin Cassidy: The team have a name and new music sadly LeForte still talks for them. I knew Enzo & Cass were the opponents as Enzo was written on the board. Enzo & Cass both have mics and cut promos, they interact with the crowd so well. Rusev and Cass to start with a tie up, Cass ducks a punch and gets one himself but then runs into an elbow but gets a knee and club. Tag to Enzo and Rusev no sells a punch and hits his knees on the ropes move leading to Scott getting the tag and a running back elbow for a 2. Elbow, knee and leg drop by Scott, a suplex and short arm clothesline for a 2. Back suplex by Scott for a 2, Rusev gets tagged and hits a running shoulder block in the corner and locks in the Camel Clutch which he calls the Accolade for the quick submission. Not much of a match here, Legionnaires attack Cass after the match and he locks on the Accolade on him with Scott getting in his face. With heel tag champs I would have put the faces over here to build them to challenge one week. Winners: Legionnaires
Backstage with Renee and she's with Sami Zayn, he says he feels great and now he has the spot and his plan is... Bo then walks in and says last week was uncool and he thought they were friends, it hurt his feelings. Sami apologises for that and says he has no problem with Bo and he wants that championship. Bo says they should team up instead and go for the tag titles, Sami says that's a good idea and he's in but they'll do it after he wins the NXT title.
Aiden English vs. Rob Van Dam: A little weird putting Aiden in this match, you're in the process of establishing him as a main guy but there's a good chance he'll lose here. Aiden does his singing entranc, he's now called the Artist Aiden English. Oh this was when Ricardo was still RVD's ring announcer. Another week with Alex Riley on commentary and I have to say he's been good all night at trying to put pretty much all these guys over one way or another. Tie up and RVD grabs a headlock and Aiden hammerlocks out. RVD shoves Aiden after and Aiden gets a headlock then RVD gets his leg scissors school boy. Aiden ducks down from a kick and we get the thumb point because well it's RVD and that's the majority of his work. RVD catches a kick and does his float over kick followed by his front roll monkey flip and clotheslines Aiden out. Van Dam then jumps over the ropes to the apron and hits a moonsault resulting in “ECW” chants. Back in the ring, another finger point and RVD his a slingshot legdrop on the apron for the 2. Aiden begs off and RVD gets a scoop slam and attempts Rolling Thunder but Aiden escapes. RVD tries to get into the ring and Aiden kicks the rope giving a low blow but no DQ here. Suplex by Aiden for the 2 and he grabs a chinlock. Aiden goes for another suplex but gets small packaged, RVD blocked being thrown into the corner with his leg and hits a kick. Series of clotheslines by RVD and a kick to the face followed by Rolling Thunder. RVD jumps to the top, another finger point and the Five Star Frog Splash for the win. This was pretty one sided, I knew Aiden would lose but this was mostly RVD if he had been given more offence for longer I think he could have come out looker better for hanging with Van Dam instead he was just the guy who lost to RVD in NXT. Winner: Rob Van Dam
I found this show slowly got worse as it went along and I'm not saying any of these matches were bad but if you had put them in the opposite order I think the show would have flowed so much better. Cesaro/Leo was main event quality while the main event came off as a squash really. At the end of this we know 2 things for next week we have the Women's tag match and Sami finally gets his title shot against Bo. Next week should be good.

NXT October 2nd Review: Funny works for me

On this week's show we are going to see the in ring return of Kassius Ohno and the Bo Dallas invitational. Out of the 2 I care about Ohno's return. Oh as the show starts I'm reminded that Fandango is going to be on the show in a mix tag match.
Fandango & Summer Rae vs. Emma & Santino Marella: Renee stops Emma as she comes out and asks who is her tag partner and out comes Santino, say what you like about the guy but fans are into him. They combine her dance with Santino's power walk. Renee then joins the commentary team. Fans chant “This is awesome” before it even starts. Santino & Fandango to start they do some dance moves and Fandango goes for a kick but it's caught so is Santino's and then Fandango gets a knee and punch. Santino floats over and goes for the cobra and then Emma comes in to have Santino do her dance with the cobra leading to break. We come back with Fandango kicking off Santino, Fandango then gets a boot to the gut but Santino gets 2 arm drags and tag to Emma by mistake as he just wanted a high five. Emma and Rae are now in but Emma tags straight back out and then again and again, Santino keeps high fiving Emma and the ref is counting it as a tag. Fandango then punches Santino when he turns around and hits a back elbow followed by choking on the rope. Suplex by Fandango for a 2, at this point I'd like to add that I really like Renee on commentary she's funny and is adding a lot unlike Alex Riley but he's better this week than previous. European uppercut by Fandango and a choke in the corner letting Rae slap Santino, Emma then goes to the floor after Rae letting Santino roll through and jump for the tag but no one is there. Santino attempts to nip up twice, fails and Fandango hits a boot. Fandango climbs up but Santino rolls to far out, he goes to the other corner but rolls again and then again until Fandango picks him up letting Santino get a backslide for a 2 Santino finally nips up and gets the tag, Emma with 2 clotheslines to Rae then locks on the dilEMMA and a low cross body for a 2. Santino gives Emma the cobra and Santino teaches her how to do it but Rae does her climb up DDT into head banging which is the one thing that takes me out of that moves if it was just a DDT it'd look so much better. Fandango is leaning on the top rope Emma throws Rae into his legs leading to him flipping in and clipping Emma with his legs, don't think that was meant to happen. Santino comes in to check, Fandango & Rae miss clotheslines and get hip tossed and double diving headbutts. Santino gets the cobra and hits Fandango for the win. Who said funny don't draw money! I loved this match, not only was it a fun comedy match but it got really hot and the fans were invested from the beginning. Winners: Emma & Santino Marella
Oh the tag titles are on the line tonight against the Ascension, thankfully Ohno vs. Luke Harper is next. We get a promo for Battleground, nothing can sell this show to me. The Ascension get a promo, they try to sell their win last week as something horrific, it wasn't not even close. They say they will take the tag titles home and that the heroes will fail and they will rise.
Kassius Ohno vs. Luke Harper: I'll be honest Ohno looks to be in a little better shape but nothing crazy. What I find funny is that last night I watched Chris Hero vs. Brodie Lee from IWA Mid South's Night of Champions show. Luke pushes Ohno into the corner and attacks, he then throws Ohno out violently. Ohno gets whipped and rolls over the ropes onto the apron to hit a shoulder block, and a big jumping kick but Luke comes back by getting his knee up and a big clothesline. Luke hits a headbutt and elbow drop followed by a reverse chinlock. Ohno comes back by running Luke into the corner, he starts fighting back and hits a jumping knee then a baseball slide to the outside. Back in and Luke hits a big boot and a corner splash followed by a discuss clothesline for the win, odd choice to go over here unless they'll be doing more Ohno vs. the Family which I kind of doubt either that or they're still punishing Ohno for some reason. Either way a good short match here, I don't think Luke shows how good he is in WWE. Winner: Luke Harper
Backstage Enzo Amore and Colin Cassidy get a promo, Enzo says they were as close as twins to getting a title shot until the Ascension gave them they're first lose. They'll bounce back and Colin does endless insults to everyone and he keeps telling Enzo to shut up. A weird promo to be honest that just came off as random by the end. Another advert for Triple H's DVD plays, they really want to sell this thing. We then see a vignette for someone talking about hype mixed with him working out, I don't know who he is. Apparently his name is Mojo Rawley which sounds dreadful just makes me think of the Powerpuff Girl villain Mojo Jo Jo. He debuts next week.
Ascension (Conor O'Brian & Rick Victor) vs. Corey Graves & Adrian Neville (c) for NXT Tag team Titles: Still no reaction for the Ascension from the crowd. Neville and Rick to start, Neville ducks a clothesline and does a flip over a drop downed Rick followed by a leg sweep for not even a 1 and a back flip over Rick's leg sweep attempt and a dropkick for a 1, a really impression over segment from Neville. Neville hits a series of kicks to the chest and a headlock until Rick pushes him off and hits a jumping shoulder block allowing him to tag out. Conor with the Warrior style endless shoulder blocks and by that I mean 3. Conor with a knee to the gut and a suplex attempt but Neville floats over and tags to Corey. Corey hits a series of punches and then a dragon whip kick but Conor won't go down and hits a flapjack for a 2. Rick gets tagged and they do their stupid lift up double team. A few kicks and a tag to Conor again. A neck snap for a 2 and tag back to Rick leading to a break highlighting the Susan G. Komen charity and them having pink shirts all month long, a worthy cause. We come back with Rick locking in a camel clutch, Rick then whips Corey who gets a crossbody but not the tag. Riley says the Ascension remind him of the Road Warriors, I'd agree but these guys aren't over like they were not even close. Conor gets tagged and hits a leg drop while Corey is in a single leg Boston crab. Conor locks on a body scissors and then traps the arm around Corey's neck until he starts fighting back but Conor stops this by lifting him up in the body scissors and dropping him on his ass twice, that must be hard to do. Tag to Rick who does his chop/uppercut combo in the corner and hits a Firemen's carry drop for a 2 followed by grabbing a chinlock. Fans are chanting “You can't wrestle” to Rick, it's probably aimed at both but Rick is in the ring right now. Rick with a series of shoulder blocks in the corner but he misses a running one and hits the post. Neville gets tagged and hits a combo of kicks and dropkicks Conor, then throws Rick to the outside allowing him to hit a running twisting splash to the outside to them. Neville hits a springboard dropkick for a near fall, his offence is so pretty to watch. Neville then floats over Rick and does several flips/roll throughs to the opposite corner where he hits a kick to the head and climbs to the top but misses the Red Arrow as Conor pulls Rick but Corey breaks it up and drags Neville to get the tag. Corey goes for the leg clip but Rick hits what is now Daniel Bryan's knee strike aka Bushido knee. Tag back out and they hit Total Elimination for the win and the titles. Once again to no reaction as no one cares. Well I'm not surprised they won, Graves & Neville were thrown together and at least the Ascension are a team I imagine now Enzo & Cassidy will be put with them in the title program. But back to this match honestly it wasn't even that good of a match I expected a little more. Winners and new champions: The Ascension
We get a video showing that Rob Van Dam will be on NXT next week, that's cool I guess.
Bo Dallas Invitational:
Why does Bo have one black glove on? It must be a tribute for his family. Bo grabs the mic and the fans are all over him from the get go. Bo explains the rules basically saying if he gets beat then in 2 weeks they'll be a title match, his promos seem so forced. A skinny guy walks down and fans chant “Let's go this guy”. This guy has no name apparently. Tie up and a school boy by this guy for a near fall with the fans into it, they really hate Bo. Bo with a kick to the gut, a forearm and strikes in the corner. This guy eats a spear for the 3. Bo grabs the mic again he says he feels great and asks for someone else and out comes Leo Kruger but then Cesaro comes out and they stop each other from getting into the ring until both go in at the same time. Cesaro attacks Leo from behind and they start fighting letting Bo throw them both out. Out comes a luchador who leaps over Bo and hits a running Mafia kick in the corner for the win, he takes the mask off to show it's Sami Zayn. I think we were all expecting this kind of angle to happen in this invitational and at least now we're getting Zayn vs. Bo which hopefully will lead to Zayn as NXT champion.

I don't know how to feel about this show, there wasn't anything bad but nothing really stood out to me outside the first match. I am very annoyed that the Ascension have the tag titles but they make more sense then the former champs. Also very little was set up for next week except RVD being on the show. Again this show was good but nothing special outside the first match which I recommend if you like comedy matches.

NXT 25th September Review: From God to GM

I'm expecting a lot of talking on this week's NXT, Triple H is going to make an announcement on the show as is Bo Dallas. On the plus side we get a tag turmoil match so that should balance it out.
Show starts with an “Earlier today” with Brad Maddox backstage checking himself in his phone when Tyler Breeze walks in and he begins to talk about an idea when CJ Parker jumps in out of nowhere, both talk about being in the tag turmoil they argue and Brad mentions they have no partners. Tyler said he should be cloned for the match, Brad says he's found a partner Breeze jumps in with “Brad Pitt?” Maddox says no and makes CJ & Tyler a team, both moan like children and Tyler says “Anyone but him, I said I'd clone myself” CJ comes back with “That doesn't exist” and they're made a team like that. I thought this was pretty funny.
Tag Turmoil: Show officially starts with tag turmoil. Enzo Amore & Colin Cassidy come out and do their stick, they play off each other very well and are pretty over. They're facing Breeze & CJ, Tyler is still pretty over with the crowd. Fans chant “Breeze is gorgeous” and they boo CJ Parker, fans really do go their own way. Enzo and CJ to start with a tie up and CJ grabs a headlock, take over and headscissors out, they repeat the other way around and CJ then grabs a kick attempt and spins Enzo around. CJ does an airplane spin and throws him down, I notice at this point that Tyler is sitting on the steps not even on the apron. CJ hits his double knees in the corner and Tyler asks for the tag when Colin hits the Catatonic on CJ for the win moving on. Sylvester LeForte comes out to do his usual garbage which means Scott Dawson & Alexander Rusev are the next team, I expected that. Colin and Scott to start, Colin grabs Scott's strike and hits a knee and club for a one. Scott gets a back elbow and tags to Rusev and the 2 trade punches until Rusev runs into a big boot for a 2. Enzo gets tagged and runs into a Samoan drop leading to a tag to Scott who hits a kick. Scott puts Enzo over the ropes in the corner and hits a kick followed by a spinebuster but Enzo gets a school boy for the win. Rusev attacks after hitting a running shoulder block in the corner and the Ascensions music plays and they're probably going to win now but we go to break before the match begins. We come back with Conor in the ring and he hits a clothesline to Colin, followed by a neck snap leading to a tag to Rick. Rick does very little then tags back out, Conor hits boots and tags out having Rick go for the pin for a 2. Chop and Uppercuts by Rick, he runs into a back elbow and Colin tries to fight back but gets cut off. Tag to Conor who hits the Ultimate Warrior style endless shoulder blocks until Colin comes back with a big boot for a 1. Colin tags Enzo who runs straight into a flapjack, the Ascension doing a weird double team leading to Total Elimination for the win. This means we'll be getting the Ascension vs. Graves & Neville, a match I'm not looking forward to mainly because of the Ascension who are not over at all in any form and are pretty bad in the ring. Winners: the Ascension
Bayley vs. Sasha Banks w/Summer Rae: Renee Young joins Regal and Tony on commentary. I guess now Banks is a heel she's automatically in a team with Rae. Tie up to start, Bayley high fives for the break and Banks goes crazy with chops. Banks goes to whip but Bayley gets a drop toe hold and then a Cradle for a 2. Bayley grabs the arm and gets whipped to the corner, she attempts a float over but messes up badly luckily Banks grabbed her legs and dropped her to the mat for a 2. Bayley gets thrown into the turnbuckle then a snapmare and grabs a reverse chinlock with a body scissors. Bayley bridges back for a 2 but Banks kicks out then hits a suplex for a 2. Bayley starts fighting back and nails a forearm and axe handles, Banks gets another sick sounding chop followed by a lucha arm drag. Banks misses a body splash in the corner and Bayley hits the Hug-plex for a very near fall. Banks whips Bayley into the corner but then runs into a back elbow, Bayley jumps up to the 2^nd rope but Banks yanks her onto the top rope and hits a neckbreaker for the win. This was a really good match that got very hot by the end. Rae grabs the mic and immediately fans chant “No”. Rae says she has a huge announcement and that next week Fandango will be at NXT, she also says that they will run all over NXT and the women's division and they're going to move to the WWE this leads to Emma running in and the heels running off. I should also mention that I quite liked Renee on commentary, she contributed a lot and knew what she was talking about. Winner: Sasha Banks
Aiden English vs. Bull Dempsey: Aiden asks for a spotlight and sings as he comes in, I really like this gimmick. He grabs a headlock, gets pushed off and nails a shoulder block leading back to the headlock. Aiden gets pushed off again but gets the headlock back. Bull then gets a shoulder block but Aiden nails kicks and mounts with punches while yelling “This is my show”. He grabs his composure and hits a leg drop. He then hits a twisting side effect for the win, fans chant “Encore” and he gives it to them. Winner: Aiden English
Backstage Renee tries to get a word from Summer Rae, Rae says if Emma thinks she's gonna lie down like that she's wrong, she then challenges Emma to a mix tag for next week she then asks Renee if she knows why the fans will go home happy next week and without missing a beat Renee says “Because of your outfits”. Rae says she didn't need an answer and that the reason is because she's the first lady of NXT.
El Local vs. Sami Zayn: Local aka Ricardo. Sami is super over as always. Tie up and Sami gets an arm ringer, Local rolls through but Sami comes back with a hammerlock and Local gets a headlock then shoulder block. Sami does a leapfrog then his 3 arm drags and the fans pop big time, Sami then floats over and hits a step up hurricanrana for a 2. Local hits a STO backbreaker for a 2 then a running kick to the chest. Local with a suplex for a 1 and a seated abdominal stretch. Sami fights back goes to whip Local but eats a back elbow, Local runs off but into a leg lariat. Sami gets a back body drop and a running Mafia kick in the corner for the win. Pretty good match here but as I always say what do you expect when Sami's in the ring. Bo then comes out to massive boos, he congratulates him and he's happy that Sami is listening to his mentor. Fans have actually started saying “Boo” instead of booing after Bo said in a previous promo he believed they were saying his name. He says he's finally healed and he forgives him for injuring him and then says he's ready to defend his NXT title and is having the Bo Dallas invitational next week and if he's pinned they will get a title shot. Sami interrupts him to massive cheers and says he's the first one to sign up and they can do it now, Bo says this business is about respect and he shouldn't interrupt the champ. He then announces that Sami isn't invited to the invitational at this point a fan yells “My ears are bleeding”, well lucky for him that was the end of the segment so he can go get help. Winner: Sami Zayn
Maddox is on the phone talking about Triple H and how he'll be here in any time. A man then walks in and it's Kassius Ohno and he asks why has he been gone for so long, Maddox says he believes it's because he was hurt by the Wyatt's. Ohno says he's been clear for a while so there must be another reason aka. Hey internet fans you know why! Maddox says Ohno is a D+ or C- player and Ohno comes back saying he's going to interrupt every match he then threatens to knock Maddox out. Maddox gives him a match for next week against one member of the Wyatt's and they shake on it.
Triple H comes out for his announcement. I guess this is the “main event” of the show. He welcomes us to NXT and says it's your show. He's amazed every time he comes here by the fans and the talent he then runs through some names, he's says if something happened to the main roster he could replace them with NXT and they wouldn't miss a beat and this is the future. He brings up the Rhodes family issues and Dusty being the GM, he has done what's best for business and has given Dusty time off as he's very emotional right now. He introduces the new GM (for now) John Bradshaw Layfield, a good choice in my view as he's a great promo and a great character. JBL puts himself over and what he's done, he then tells the fans to shut up, and then puts over NXT. That's pretty much it and the show ends. That screamed middle segment if I ever saw it.
Well I was wrong when I though this show would be mostly talking and I'm glad about that. Tag Turmoil wasn't much and in my view it went the wrong way of putting over the Ascension, I personally would have had them kill several teams to win hell have them beat every time their gimmick is unstoppable monsters although they've already lost to the champs twice now. Aiden was great in his role, the divas stole the show like they usually do and Sami looked good in his match. A good show in my view and it's well worth a look, like a lot of time with NXT the show flys by easily.

NXT September 19th Review: A Breeze to Sit Through

No talk about what's planned for this week's show as 1) I can't remember and 2) Got the Last of Us lined up to play for after this review.
Sami Zayn vs. Curt Hawkins: Starting the show with a match and a rematch of Sami's debut match. It was also announced that the main event is a 8 man tag but no names mentioned. Tie up to start and Curt tries a cheap shot after the break but misses. Sami gets behind and Curt drops down then gets a headlock but Sami escapes with a hammerlock and Curt runs back into the corner and hits a kick. Sami floats over and hits 2 beautiful armdrags and his around the world one. Sami with a chop in the corner and does the 10 punches for a 2. Sami snapmares and crucifixes Curt for a 2, then quickly grabs a chinlock but Curt hits a jawbreaker. Curt scoop slams for a 1, he struggled a little lifting him up. Curt chokes Sami on the ropes, then hits a soccer kick to the back leading to a chinlock. Curt gets a shoulder block but Sami comes back with a leg lariat for a 2, Curt tries to throw him out but he lands on the apron. Curt then throws Sami into the post and to the floor leading to break. We come back with Sami fighting off a suplex but Curt gets it for a 2. Curt gets another chinlock on and Sami fights out, he goes to run the ropes but Curt follows and slides out tripping him as he does in a very nice spot. Curt grabs a quick chinlock again, throws some clubbing blows and back to the chinlock. Sami gets whipped and it ends in a double clothesline. Both punch each other repeatedly until Sami gets a couple of clotheslines and gets lifted to a dropkick. Sami misses the mafia kick but he jumps up to the top and gets a crossbody for a near fall. Curt hits a pele kick of sorts for a 2. Sami floats over a back suplex but Curt hits an Impaler DDT for a 2. Curt eats a boot in the corner and Sami attempts his climb up DDT but Curt stops it and hits this weird flipping move, he put Sami's leg over his head and flipped Sami over to his stomach, for a near fall. Curt throws his elbow pads and gloves in Sami's face this fires Sami up and he fights back leading to a Mafia kick and his tornado DDT for the win. A really good opening match but what did you expect from Sami Zayn. Winner: Sami Zayn
Main event is CJ Parker, Xavier Woods & the tag champs vs. Leo Kruger, Tyler Breeze & the Ascension. We then get an advert for Triple H's DVD release I'm interested in this but I am for most superstar DVD's. Aiden English gets introduced and he demands a spotlight, he comes out singing. I guess they're giving him something other than a jobber role. To be fair he has a pretty nice voice.
Aiden English vs. Michael Q Lawyer(?): Tie up to start and Aiden slaps Q, Aiden then hits a kitchen sink and a shortarm clothesline. Aiden hits a leg drop and a twisting side effect for the win. He then demands a spotlight and gives an encore. NXT is full of stupid gimmicks but I like this one and Aiden plays it very well. Winner: Aiden English
We go backstage with Bo Dallas on the phone and Renee comes in to ask a question but Bo was leaving a message on his hotline that's in BOlivia (anything to put with Bo). Renee asks about his thoughts on Sami but Bo isn't impressed with that win and he's come up with an idea that he'll reveal next week. Bo looks so goofy when he's cutting his promos but I guess that's his character now, still don't like it. It's also revealed that Triple H will be making an announcement next week about NXT and there will be a tag turmoil to name number 1 contenders.
Tyler Breeze, Leo Kruger & the Ascension (Rick Victor & Conor O'Brian) vs. Xavier Woods, CJ Parker, Corey Graves & Adrian Neville: This match is getting time as we're 20 minutes away from the show ending but after watching Breeze's entrance my guess is 5 minutes of that will be the entrances. Neville has new music which is so generic, a real down grade from his previous one. Neville and Rick to start, Rick shoulder blocks but Neville nips up and gets an armdrag, tag to Corey who keeps hold of the arm and tags to CJ who grabs the arm and tags to Woods who grabs the arm and tags Neville who double foot stomps the arm. Rick finally grabs Neville and Leo gets the tag letting Leo punch and grab the arm, Neville does countless rolls to break out and tag Woods they repeat what they did earlier with Leo instead. This spot is just going on and on. Finally we break away from that, Corey does his gorgeous float through of a hip toss into an armdrag and then hits another arm drag into an armbar. Leo gets a knee and tags Conor, Conor does a headsnap between his legs and tags Leo. Conor does the double arm lift and Leo hits a point, you know what I'm not even going to stay it. Rick gets tagged and gets some gut shots, tagging out to Leo no Tyler at this point he's clinging onto the post and is not even on the apron fully. Leo missed a corner splash and Woods gets tagged leading to a dropkick and hits the Honor Roll clothesline and Leo rolls outside leading to the babyfaces taking the heels out with dives to the outside and we go to break. Coming back Rick has Woods in a surfboard, during the break Leo hit a great spinebuster to get control back. Woods tries to fight back but gets cut off and Leo gets the tag and he just puts in the boots, Conor gets tagged in and Tyler tags himself in to a massive pop from the crowd. Tyler hits a punch and Woods hits a bodyshot leading to Tyler running and tagging to Leo in a funny spot, it gets a “That was Awesome” chant. Leo grabs a chinlock and Woods is carrying Leo on his back trying to tag but Leo drags him back down, Woods then gets a jawbreaker and Tyler is tagged in to a big pop. Tyler drops the knee for a 1, Woods gets a bodyshot and again Tyler runs and tags Conor, I'm liking Tyler in this match. Conor drops an elbow for a 2 and gets a bodyscissors he then drags Woods into his corner. Tyler back in and attempts a suplex which is blocked and Woods gets a suplex. CJ and Conor get tagged in, CJ with a jumping clothesline and his double knees followed by a scissor side kick for a 2. Corey tries to clothesline himself and Rick out but only does himself somehow. Conor hits a full nelson slam for a 2 that is broken up. Conor misses a corner splash but comes back with a flapjack and Tyler tags in for the pin but it's a 2, CJ punches Tyler in the face and the other heels leave Tyler for tagging himself in and out as he pleases all match getting them more heat. CJ hits another big punch to the face and Woods hits Lost in the Woods. Corey comes in with a chop block and Neville tags and hits the Red Arrow for the win. A very fun main event here and Tyler Breeze was the shining star here. Winners: CJ Parker, Xavier Woods, Corey Graves & Adrian Neville
This was a nice little show that flew by and it really tried to place more focus on new stars in Aiden English's new gimmick and Tyler Breeze being so over in the main event. I don't think they were expecting Breeze to be over as he was but the match played out perfectly for it regardless. I'd say this so was worth checking out for sure as it just flew by and was a Breeze to sit through, ha ha ha ha I'll let myself out.

NXT September 11th Review: A Very Slow Pace

So here's this week's NXT review which as far as I'm aware the only match announced is Paige vs. Sasha with Summer Rae in there somewhere for some reason. Let's begin shall we.
Enzo Amore & Colin Cassidy vs. Scott Dawson & Alexander Rusev w/Sylvester LeForte: Enzo does his usual introduction and the fans join in. LeForte does his awful introduction which you can barely understand, I seriously don't understand why made him the mouth piece he must be that awful in the ring. I rolled my eyes when Regal says Dawson is “on the line of technical genius in the ring”. Enzo & Scott to start with tie up and Enzo gets a punch in while avoiding shots and makes the tag. Colin grabs a kick and hits a knee then a club to the back and another. Tag out to Enzo, who is in all leopard print, series of punches and Scott hits a short arm clothesline that turns Enzo upside down for a 2. Rusev gets a tag and a series of falling headbutts followed by knee strikes with Enzo laying on the ropes. Tag out and Enzo eats a back elbow after knocking Colin off the apron, Scott and Rusev hit a Hart Attack with a spinning heel kick instead of a clothesline and the ref calls for the bell randomly, Regal is saying that the ref got to a 5 count so it was a DQ I'm sorry but they can't have been in for a 5 count. Real flat, bad finish that makes no sense. These 4 guys didn't gel well together at all. Winners: Enzo Amore & Colin Cassidy
An advert for Bryan/Orton plays for Night of Champions and boy is Randy Orton just there in this, the heat is all on the McMahons.
Bo Dallas comes out for an interview excuse me while I do something else. Bo thanks everyone for the support, he says he believes he can fly at points. He says he came out last week to support Sami and he is Sami's mentor leading to the fans chanting for Sami. Bo says he'll give Sami a match but not a title match when he's healed. Fans were all over him here, I'll be fair and say this is better than normal but not by much. We go backstage with Renee Young who brings in CJ Parker, she asks about Tyler Breeze. CJ talks some hippy random stuff while looking at his hands and Breeze attacks from the side and takes a picture, this feud is dreadful.
Sasha Banks vs. Paige: Fans go crazy for Paige, Sasha is just random girl A in comparison. Fans chant “Happy Birthday” I'm guessing this was taped on her birthday who is 21. Sasha gets a arm ringer but Paige breaks it off and throws Sasha off the ropes chest first 2 times, Sasha gets a knee and attempts to do Paige's move but she blocks and does that move for a 3^rd time for a 2. Paige sweeps for some pins, Sasha gets a bodyscissors and roll up for a 2. Sasha gets behind and they just stand there for a couple of minutes, looked odd. Paige hits a series of back elbows in the corner and chokes her, Sasha comes back by School girling Paige into the corner in a nice spot. We come back from break with Sasha locking in the camel clutch and then a rear chin lock. Sasha hits a back elbow for a 2 and gets back in the chin lock. Paige fights out and gets a school girl but then eats a dropkick for a 2 and again back into the chin lock, I like that keep going for the same hold. Paige bridges back for a 2 and Sasha gets a kick then attempts a suplex but Paige hits a nice snap suplex. Paige goes on the apron and hits a series of knee lifts on Sasha, Sasha gets a small package and avoids a dropkick. Sasha gets a crossbody but Paige rolls through for the win. I liked this match a lot actually, Sasha showed me a lot more than I was expecting. Paige goes to console Sasha but she keeps pushing her away and Sasha attacks from behind then hitting awful chops and a neckbreaker so she's now a heel. Winner: Paige
We go backstage with Summer Rae running into Sasha, Sasha says that felt good and she thanks her then hugs.
Leo Kruger vs. Xavier Woods: Woods recently appeared on a WWE house show signs he could be called up sometime soon. Woods comes out dancing, for someone who was attacked last week and is looking for revenge he probably shouldn't be dancing. Woods runs after Leo from the start and Leo keeps going into the ropes and then to the outside. Woods finally grabs him but Leo yanks his arm over he ropes and begins to attack it with elbows and a arm stunner, Leo then grabs an arm bar. This is all Woods trying to fight back and Leo dragging him back down into the arm bar, very little else but it's not needed for this story. Woods finally breaks out with an arm drag but Leo gets a knee, Woods then gets a tilt-a-whirl headscissors to send Leo to the outside. Woods goes for a plancha but Leo moves out of the way leading to a break. We come back with Leo putting in the boots and dropping elbows for a 1. Wrist clutch suplex for a 2, fans seem to have turned on this match a little. Back to the arm bar hold and into a hammerlock, much like earlier very little is happening but Woods getting driven back down. Woods hits a jaw breaker and leg kicks to come back. Woods floats over and hits a dropkick but runs into a backbreaker for a 2 followed by a suplex for a 2. Leo misses the Bret Hart elbow drop. Leo runs into a back elbow and Woods starts fighting back, hits a discuss punch and a dropkick. Woods goes for his rolling thunder clothesline but is caught into a spinebuster for a 2. Leo goes for a lariat but eats an Enzuigiri and hits “lost in the woods” for a 2 then hits his clothesline and Sole Food for the win. Honestly this match fell a little flat to me, they had slowed down so much that the fans fell out of it and even the finishing sequence couldn't pull them back in.
I left this show feeling as if very little happened to be honest, the divas were good and the main event wasn't dreadful but it was just lacking something. Nothing was set up for next week. So final thought is Meh this show was meh to me.

NXT September 4th Review: The Sami Zayn Show

Once again going into an NXT show I'm excited for a Sami Zayn match, today's match with Jack Swagger has received high praise for those who were there. Everything else is an after thought right now and after last week's show I hope this show is a lot better and they were just a little off that week.
Bayley & Charlotte vs. Alicia Fox & Aksana: Aksana comes out to softcore porn music, fitting for her as that's probably what she should be doing instead of wrestling. Bayley and Aksana start, Aksana offers a hug and knees Bayley as she comes in for it. Aksana hits a sideslam and slowly crawls around for some reason, leading to a weak kick for a 2. Aksana hits 2 elbows for another 2 and tags to Fox. Fox hits a single leg dropkick for a 2 and then a northern lights suplex leading to another tag. 2 boots and a tag, another boot and another tag don't see the point of that. Alex Riley drops the Miz in conversation, can I say he's awful on commentary. Aksana grabs a cobra clutch and then chokes her in the corner with her boot. Bayley finally fights back with a belly to belly suplex letting Charlotte come in. She hits her splits school girl and then the Flair flop over the corner. Charlotte climbs up and Fox goes to throw her (the infamous Flair spot) but Charlotte rolls through and hits a jumping clothesline for a 2. Bayley gets the blind tag when Charlotte had Fox up in a Fireman's carry. Fox hits a Mafia kick in the corner which also hits Aksana and this lets Bayley roll up Fox for the win, Fox was basically in the ropes during this so she came off as an idiot for not grabbing them. A nice little tag to open things up. Winners: Bayley & Charlotte
Backstage with Scott Dawson & Sylvester LeForte, I think LeForte is trying to look like Randy Savage circa 1999. They pan over to show Rusev he doesn't make sense. LeForte says tonight is about revenge on Mason Ryan and says he has their back and asks Rusev what he will do to Ryan and this leads to him breaking a plank of wood with “Mason” on it over his knee. LeForte says you win, we get paid and we'll celebrate. So many damn accent's it's so hard to understand.
Rick Victor vs. Corey Graves: OK I officially hate the Ascension, I groan when they come out and at least that's a reaction which they're not getting from the crowd. Graves takes down straight away and attacks with punches, picks up Rick and continues to hit punches. Rick gets some punches in but gets cut off. Riley mentions Miz again, we get it you were in WWE. Graves starts attacking the leg with kicks and a spinning toe hold but Rick kicks him off, Graves then grabs a front face lock. Rick runs him in the corner and attacks the ribs, which are injured from last week. Graves start fighting back and hits a suplex, for someone injured he sure is controlling a lot of this. Graves hits a cross body but can't pin because of his ribs and Rick stomps his ribs. Graves start fighting back again and hits an Enzuigiri but Rick drops him on the ropes on his ribs. We go to break and come back with Rick in control. Rick removes the tape and drives in a kick. Rick hits a flurry of chops and uppercuts, then hits a gutbuster for a 2. Rick grabs a camel clutch and then a series of stomps. Rick grabs the clutch again and then drops an elbow for a 2. Rick catches a boot but Graves starts fighting back anyways eventually hitting a jumping knee (to no reaction) and then a STO. Conor climbs up but Neville takes him out, this allows Rick to lift up Graves but he rolls him up for the win. Meaning the tag champs have beat both members in 2 weeks. A slow bad match, I like Graves but the fact is no one cares about the Ascension and putting them against the champs won't change that. Winner: Corey Graves
Backstage with Sasha putting on make up and Summer Rae shows up and asks her how she'll become relevant next week. Sasha tells her to go away as she's making trouble for no reason, Rae comes back saying some random things, seriously there's no real connection here or reason for why Rae is here. Sasha is wrestling Paige next week and Rae wants her to release her “inner rage” next week, I'm guessing they're teasing a heel turn but it's not coming off well. We then go to Renee who is with Paige, she asks what's the deal with Summer Rae. Paige replies with what I'm thinking “I don't care” she then says Sasha is good but she's the champion, she's not here to be a cover girl but to cover girls in the ring and to become the most dominant diva who will give Sasha the fight of her life next week.
Mason Ryan vs. Alexander Rusev: Sylvester comes out to introduce Rusev because that's what I need more of this guy! Rusev has to get rid of that wood gimmick it makes him look like a loser, oh talking about looking like a loser here's Mason Ryan. Tie up to start, does Rusev have the Eiffel Tower tattoo'd on his back? They keep pushing each other off from the tie up until Rusev hits a boot to the gut and a club to the back. Ryan hits a back elbow and a shoulder block, Ryan then dunks a clothesline but eats a nice spinning heel kick for a 2. Rusev hits 4 falling headbutts and then headbutts Ryan in the chest, Rusev then does the Al Snow arm trapped headbutts and a Vader attack for a 2. Rusev slowly hits a kick to the gut and misses a splash in the corner doing the Slaughter bump, Ryan grabs him by the throat but the 2 trade punches. Ryan starts fighting back and hits a corner clothesline, then another and a running boot. Scott gets on the apron and Ryan brings him in and out, LeForte gets up but Ryan grabs him letting Rusev attack him and lock in the camel clutch for the tap out. This is much better than I expected and I'm liking Rusev, sadly he's saddled with these 2 idiots. My one problem is the camel clutch was used several times early in the previous match and it's a finish here, the agents should have picked up on that and made Rick use a different hold. Winner: Alexander Rusev
We go backstage to see Leo Kruger has attacked Xavier Woods and is saying something, seriously these accents are killing me. Guessing they'll be feuding.
Sami Zayn vs. Jack Swagger w/Zeb Coulter: They run into the tie up, Jack misses a punch and Sami gets a series of blows but Jack gets a low kick and a running shoulder block then another. Sami gets a leapfrog and a leg lariat, fans are really hot for this. Sami hits a series of chops for a 1 count, then gets lifted up to hit a dropkick. Sami goes for a dive but Jack moves and Sami does an arabian press onto his knees, fans are now super hot for this! Sami comes out and drives Jack into the apron, Zeb distracts Sami allowing Jack to hit a nice clothesline and boots. A series of knees in the corner and a running knee leads to a break. We come back after an awesome advert for Punk vs. Axel/Heyman at Night of Champions, man how much of an afterthought is Axel? Jack has a chin lock and then hits a belly to belly for a 2 after Sami fights back. Jack hits a suplex, knees and an incredible shortarm clothesline which Sami sold great. Jack runs into Sami who keeps inching back and pulls down the ropes leading to a fantastic tope con heelio. Sami climbs to the top and hits a crossbody for a near fall. Sami teases the Mafia kick but Jack blocks and lifts up Sami allowing him to roll him up for a 2. Jack then hits a big slam for a 2, Jack then goes for the Oklahoma Stampede made famous by Dr. Death Steve Williams, but Sami escapes the slam and hits a Blue Thunder for a near fall. Jack gets the leg and goes for the Ankle lock but Sami fights back, Jack rolls him over straight into the Swagger bomb for a near fall. Gets a “This is Awesome” chants from the crowd and Jack gets the Ankle lock after pulling down his straps meaning Kurt Angle is really pissed!, fans erupt when he gets the ropes. Sami is kicking from the ground and won't let go off his ankle. Jack goes for the Vader bomb but Sami gets the knees up and hit running Mafia kick for an extremely hot near fall. Sami is clubbing Jack down to the mat and he climbs up to the top but Jack catches him, Sami gets a sunset flip bomb for another near fall. Out comes Bo Dallas for some reason, fans focus on him and are hating him this distracts Sami and lets Jack get the Ankle lock leading to the tap out. What an insanely good match, seriously this was fantastic and even Bo there should lead to Sami against him down the line so I'm OK with that although I would have had Sami win here.
Since day one of his debut Sami has been amazing, NXT is really his show now. If he's not NXT champ soon he should be called up to the main roster as he's just that damn good. A better show from last week and the main event a lone is worth going out of your way to watch, that match had so much heat from a crowd that came off as dead for a good bulk of this show. At the end of the day this is really the Sami Zayn show now.
