Another edition of NXT came and went, and this time around there was a little bit of a surprise. We’ll discuss that and the ongoing events in this results and review post for sure.
The show opened up with the Schism in ring.
Mustafa Ali, Tyler Bate, and Wes Lee defeated Schism
A good opener for NXT with Ali, Bate and Lee throwing down
some good high flying offense. Schism did a good job with their offense too,
but it wasn’t meant to be this time. Ali was flying across the ring, and so was
Lee overall. It was interesting to see them fly, and get a mix of modern
wrestling too. Schism was good, but they seemed to be missing a few steps here,
but it didn’t matter, Tyler Driver 97 and the win came home for the good guys.
Great overall starting match.
Bron Breaker came out, and talked calling out Seth Rollins.
Dragunov came running down too, but was thwarted. Seth Rollins appeared on the
screen and accepted the challenge against Bron Breaker!
Thea Hail defeated Cora Jade
Not much of a match, only 4 minutes or so, but it was fast
and moved through some quick moments. I liked it for what it was, but it was
definitely not a great match because it was just not given enough time to tell
a larger story. I’ll give this a pass because I know they tried their best, and
I saw Dana Brooke coming out, and she’s hot.
Nathan Frazer defeated Oro Mensah
This was a fast paced match overall. It had a lot of fast
moments, quick hits, and steady action. It was a Heritage Cup match, but with
Noam Dar acting injured, things just didn’t seem to go well for him. He put in
Oro Mensah to get the fight on against Frazer, and it was a fun match to watch.
It had some good back and forth, and was halfway decent.
Axiom and Scrypts defeated Dabba-Kato in a handicap match
Dabba-Kato basically took a lot of punishment in this one,
although dished out a little too. He would eventually lose to the numbers game
as he couldn’t beat two people at once. This was an ok match. Nothing special
in my book.
A couple of guys ran down and beat up Axiom and Scrypts but I
didn’t catch who they were.
Malik Blade defeated Edris Enofe
Under 3 minutes of action, this match didn’t really do it
for me. It was ok for what it was, but that isn’t saying a whole lot. There was
some high flying moments, but overall this was a short match and didn’t tell
quite the compelling story. I guess it was filler? Not a whole lot to write
about this one, sorry.
Roxanne Perez defeated Tatum Paxley
Another match under 3 minutes of time. The clock started and
the two went to work on having a very fast paced, high impact match. It was
once again ok at best, but there’s not a lot to write home about overall. It had
a few good moments, but it just wasn’t long enough to tell a good story.
Baron Corbin defeated Ilja Dragunov
A good back and forth match was found here. Corbin can
wrestle when he is put in the ring with a good opponent. This was a good
overall match with a lot of back and forth between the two. Dragunov can brawl,
and knows some technical stuff too. Corbin did a mix of his normal offense, and
the two took on a good match even though it wasn’t extremely long. Corbin would
hit End of Days and that would be it for this match. Good stuff for sure.
Overall Thoughts
Two matches were good, the rest was jus filler if you ask
me. NXT is hit and miss sometimes. However, I look forward to seeing what they
come up with next week when Seth Rollins invades NXT.
