This time around we are reviewing WWE NXT. I was in Cleveland for Raw, and it was an amazing time. I posted pictures to my Twitter, and well, I’ll eventually post more on here but until then, let’s discuss the night of WWE NXT 6/20 overall. Great stuff overall awaits, right? Seth Rollins was meant to have an open challenge on Monday, but he couldn’t get it done due to Finn Balor. But that didn’t stop him from fighting Bron Breaker, and that’s the main event here.
Wes Lee defeated Tyler Bate in the WWE NXT North American
Title match
A solid back and forth matchup opened the show. It was slow
to start, and Mustafa Ali was the ref. I got distracted with the commercials,
even though there was picture in picture. I just couldn’t really get into a
small screen. Whatever the case was, the match featured some hard hitting
action, and a bit of back and forth from Lee and Bate. Nice match, Wes Lee goes
over in a frenetic ending.
There was a pep rally, and I was falling asleep.
Edris Enofe Malik Blade defeated Brooks Jensen and Josh
Briggsl, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger in a triple threat title match
I admit, I was falling asleep during this match. I had to rewatch it. It’s not a bad match, it
was a solid affair, but it seemed a bit rushed to the finish line. After a nice
frog splash, Edris Enofe and Malik Blade were able to pull out a sweet victory.
Cora Jade defeated Dana Brooke
I was in Cleveland and Dana Brooke was getting cheered like
crazy. I don’t think she sucks, I like her. This was a somewhat awful match It
was a little longer than I thought, but it wasn’t great. Cora Jade would target
Dana’s leg, and would eventually get the match thrown out after a submission.
However, we were supposed to believe that Dana Brooke couldn’t continue at two
different times in this match. Oh well. You can forget this one overall if you
ask me.
Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend defeated Valentina Feroz
and Yulisa Leon
Just over 3 minutes of wrestling in this one. Not exactly a
thriller. This was ok, to say the least. I didn’t hate it, but it definitely
wasn’t grand overall. It was ok at the very least. I honestly don’t known what
else to tell ya, it wasn’t that great.
Seth Rollins defeated Bron Breakker in the WWE World
Heavyweight Title Match
A good overall match was found here. Bron Breakker targeted
Rollins’ ribs that were taped. The match was methodical and moving nicely. It
was a fast paced and good in a smaller venue. A frog splash through the announcers
table was a great shot with Rollins taking Breakker on at all levels. Breakker
hit the Frankensteiner, a sick looking powerslam, and so much more. This match
delivered on all cylinders, mind you. Two curb stomps later, Seth Rollins put
away Bron Breakker with the crowd fully behind him.
Overall Thoughts
A great match to end NXT and Rollins was great. The rest of
the show was ok to say the least. I didn’t really hate it, but it also wasn’t
that memorable to me. The main event was incredible, with some great moments,
and some nice damaging moves. Finn Balor showed up after the match, as the show
went off the air.
