WWE NXT 6/20/23 Results and Review

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.

WWE NXT 6/13/23 Results and Review

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.
