Yoshi Tatsu vs. Bray Wyatt
Tatsu tries to hit him with some chops, but it has no effect. They note that this is Bray's first match since August. Wyatt throws Tatsu around and quickly hits Sister Abigail for the easy squash. Not much to see here, especially 7 years later.
Match Rating: 1/4* (out of 5)
After the match, Bray grabs the mic and shows a video of the ending of last week's tag team match. Bray talks to Erick Rowan and tells him his brother Luke cost him the tag titles and he has him hit Luke. He then asks Luke if he is sick of carrying Erick his whole life and then has him hit him. They start throwing punches at each other until Bray breaks it up. My dislike of the current Bray Wyatt has just completely made me sick of every version of his character.
Renee Young is back with Sasha Banks to talk about her secret admirer. She gets another note and as she is reading it, she is attacked by Audrey Marie who says she is the secret admirer.
El Local vs. Xavier Woods
Apparently El Local is Ricardo Rodriguez. They make fun of Local's weight, which is not something I expected. He's actually a little bit better than I expected and gets a lot of offense in here. Woods battles out of a weak looking chin lock, but then he is put in a headlock. Seriously? Woods hits a tornado DDT and that's it. Not much of a feature for Woods there.
Match Rating: 1/2*
Renee Young is back with a doctor who has been working with Paige. He says they don't have a time table yet for her return. Great interview.
Audrey Marie vs. Sasha Banks
Sasha gets out of a submission and hits a head scissors and a dropkick. However, Marie slams her face first and gets the pinfall. Way too short of a match to be anything.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Renee Young is now with Summer Rae. She gives a terrible promo saying she will be the greatest Diva ever and now wants to be called the first lady of NXT.
Tyson Kidd comes down to the ring on crutches for an interview. He talks about how he hurt his knee at a live event and still fought the next night because he lives to compete. Apparently CM Punk said that Kidd is one of the workhorses of the business and he says he has been that way since he was in the dungeon. Leo Kruger's music hits and he says he is going to end Kidd's career. He kicks out Kidd's knee and is about to attack him, but Justin Gabriel makes the save.
Conor O'Brian vs. Big E Langston
The crowd is chanting "Five" before they lock up. We get a Warrior/Hogan beginning with them trying to knock one another over. Langston clotheslines O'Brian over the top rope to the floor as we go to commercial. O'Brian is working on Big E's shoulder now. O'Brian hits a full nelson slam, which is really the first time Langston has been thrown around here on NXT. Big E battles back with some clotheslines and knees to the midsection. They start throwing some pretty weak punches at one another. The official gets in the middle of them to break them up, but gets thrown down and calls for the bell as a double disqualification. Yeah, that was an uninspired performance by O'Brian there. Then out of nowhere, Corey Graves attacks Big E and steals his title. Big E chases him to the back as the show goes off the air.
Match Rating: 1/2*
To say this show was bad would be an understatement. Weak stories and bad matches can make even a 41 minute wrestling show seem like it's going on forever. This one is a must skip.
Overall Rating: 28%
