Primo & Epico vs. The Usos
I forgot that Rosa was with Primo and Epico. Things start off slowly with some mat wrestling. A baseball slide by Jey Uso is blocked, but Jimmy Uso does a dive over the top rope to take out both opponents. Primo steps on the middle rope while Jey is running the ropes and he falls to the outside. The Revival should use that. The heels work on Jey Uso for a long time until he makes the tag and Jimmy clears house. They hit the Samoan Splash and that is all. As soon as the match is over, the lights flash and for some reason the Ascension are still feuding with the Usos. Make it stop! Match was pretty dull overall.
Match Rating: *1/4 (out of 5)
Aiden English & Camacho vs. Big E Langston
Big E immediately takes on English and steamrolls him off the ropes. Big E then drags English over to tag Camacho, but Camacho shoves Langston and walks away. The Big Ending finishes English off for the easy win. After the match Big E hits it again and counts to 5 as he stares down Camacho. Big E continues to look good and get big reactions from the crowd. The crowd asks for "One more time" and Big E delivers.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Percy Watson vs. Kassius Ohno
Percy starts out in control, which I wasn't even expecting this to be a match, so that's a bit of a surprise. I really think they dropped the ball here with Ohno. Why not have him be a total destroyer? Watson gets another bit of offense in but is able to grab the ropes when Watson has him picked up and then hits the Ohno Blade for the pin. There wasn't much to this one.
Match Rating: 1/2*
Jim Ross introduces Seth Rollins to the ring. As Rollins is saying that he doesn't mind being the hunted, Corey Graves sneak attacks him and the refs have to pull Graves off of Rollins. Graves says that he wants the NXT Championship and cuts a pretty intense promo.
Bo Dallas vs. Big Show
This is kind of a strange match since Dallas has really only been heel for a short time here. It would have made sense if the character was more developed and Big Show was here to finally shut him up. Show was fresh off his victory over Sheamus at the TLC pay-per-view, which I will review in about 8 years or so on the blog. Dallas attempts some offense by jumping on Show's back and putting him in the sleeper. Show gets him off, but Dallas rolls out of the way from his elbow drop. Dallas hits him with a series of right hands and a dropkick. Show bounces back and hits him with the big right hand for the easy victory. I'm not sure what this really accomplished other than getting a big name on the show. This felt like it was in slow motion.
Match Rating: 1/2*
Well, this was another far from stellar episode of NXT. Nothing really seems to be progressing and even when they have big name wrestlers on the show, they seem like they are forced to slow down way too much. The bright spot continues to be Big E.
Overall Rating: 36%
