United States Championship Match
Adrian Neville vs. Dean Ambrose
Alex Riley is back as an announcer here. They also announce that Tyler Breeze has entered the building. Neville builds a little bit of momentum to start. He hits a big kick to the head and heads up to the top rope, but Ambrose rolls out of the way. Ambrose avoids a baseball slide and hits a clothesline into the commercial break. Ambrose goes shoulder first into the ring post after Neville moves out of the way. Neville hits a springboard crossbody for a 2 count. Neville hits a hurricanrana, sending Ambrose out of the ring and Neville hits a flip over the top rope. Back in the ring, Neville hits the Red Arrow, but Seth Rollins breaks up the pin attempt. Reigns joins him and the three of them attack Neville. Out comes Corey Graves and Xavier Woods to make the save and Neville picks up the DQ victory. I am surprised they let Neville get as much in as he did.
Match Rating: ** (out of 5)
Scott Dawson, Sylvester Lefort, Enzo and Cass are talking in the back. Enzo and Cass continue to get some TV time.
Next up is the first ever NXT dance competition, where the winner will be named the #1 contender. They basically just go back and forth for 5-10 seconds at a time, with Emma obviously going for comic relief. This is the opposite of good, but the crowd is loving it. Summer Rae stops the music and demands that they play the Fandango music and she does her routine. Emma then does her dance to her entrance music. They go to the crowd for the winner and you'll never guess who they picked? Summer attacks her from behind and heads to the back. That was really long.
We get yet another Leo Kruger vignette.
Danny Burch vs. Tyler Breeze
Breeze hits a step up enzuigiri and then a spinning heel kick and that is basically it. Breeze has done a good job of telling the story of his character to get that over with the crowd and I look forward to seeing him start to get some longer matches as well.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Bo Dallas is with Renee Young acting like a creep and referring to Cesaro and Sami Zayn as kids.
They announce that Emma is not medically cleared for next week and that Summer Rae will challenge Paige next week.
NXT Championship Match
Leo Kruger vs. Bo Dallas
Kruger starts stomping away to get going, but Bo ends up regaining control by hitting a northern lights suplex into a pin. Kruger hits a baseball slide dropkick as we go to commercial break. The crowd's disdain for Bo continues to be the most entertaining thing in NXT. Bo fights his way out of a superplex attempt and hits a second rope clothesline. Bo hits a series of impact moves, including his springboard bulldog, but Kruger kicks out. Bo starts to show some frustration and Kruger makes his comeback. He hits a big spinebuster and then hits the big clothesline, but Bo kicks out. Kruger puts on the GC3 in the middle of the ring. Bo is able to grab the bottom rope after a lengthy stay in the hold. Kruger decides to go up top, which we all know what's going to happen. Bo gets his knees up and the crowd starts to boo. Bo puts Kruger in a submission hold and he taps out. The match itself was pretty good that was only helped by the atmosphere Bo matches have. Kruger has shown some improvement over the past few episodes as well.
Match Rating: **1/4
I would chalk up this episode as a middle of the road show. It certainly wasn't bad, even if the dance contest was nothing anyone ever needs to see again. The Tyler Breeze build continues to have my attention and I look forward to seeing his character grow.
Overall Rating: 51%
