I forgot to mention it on last week's show, but NXT has a new intro theme.
Paige vs. Sasha Banks
Charlotte is out this week with the Summer Rae face on a stick this week. Paige starts off hot, but Sasha slows it down and takes control. Paige battles out of the lengthy submission hold. She hits a few moves and puts on her new submission hold for the victory. After the match, Charlotte comes in and attacks Paige. Out comes Natalya to make the save. I'm not sure why Sasha had that submission hold on for so long and why the comeback was so short. They seem to have problems sometimes putting together the women's matches.
Match Rating: 1/2*
They show clips of Corey Graves last week with his match against Yoshi Tatsu and then against Sami Zayn. We then get an interview with Zayn and he says as far as he's concerned, the issue between he and Graves is done.
Mojo Rawley is shown talking to himself while pacing back and forth and talking about Arrival being the best night of his life.
The Ascension vs. Cal Bishop & Travis Tyler
We get the standard Ascension squash here while the announcers gush about how great they are. This one actually lasts a little longer than you would expect, but they hit the Fall Of Man for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Mason Ryan vs. Wesley Blake
Renee Young gets stuck calling this match tonight. I really didn't know that he made it into the WWE Network area. Ryan hits a big powerslam to no reaction, but misses with his shoulder and rams into the post. Blake gets in a little bit of offense in, while Renee tries to convince herself that Ryan could contend for the NXT Championship. He hits his finisher and that's all. Next.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Bayley is interviewed backstage and she's so excited to be watching the WWE Network on her iPad. Charlotte and Sasha insult her. Then Bayley takes Summer on a stick and makes fun of them. Natalya comes in and we get more insults.
Xavier Woods vs. Alexander Rusev
Tyler Breeze comes out and asks Woods to leave so that he can get his revenge on Rusev. Out comes Lana and she introduces Rusev. Breeze attacks Woods from behind and leaves him there. Woods agrees to start the match and Rusev dominates the injured Woods. Rusev kind of hits his variation of the Samoan Drop and locks in the Accolade for the easy victory. This could have been fun, but the storyline got in the way.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Bo Dallas tells Neville only 2 more weeks until he gets his rematch.
Colin Cassady vs. Bo Dallas
Things couldn't start off any more slowly than with a couple minutes of stalling. After nothing happens, we go to commercial and when we come back, nothing is happening. Bo hits a clothesline for the highlight of the match so far. Cass reverses an Irish Whip and sends Bo into the corner with some speed. Cass makes his comeback and hits a high knee. Cass hits a big knee, but Bo is able to kick out. Bo turns it around and hits his variation of the DDT for the victory. My review may be short, but this match certainly wasn't. 12 minutes felt like an eternity here.
Match Rating: 1/2*
Last week's show felt like something I had to watch. On the other hand, this show was a giant turd. Nothing worthwhile took place and a lot of the guys featured on here were not guys I enjoy watching.
Overall Rating: 32%
