Baron Corbin vs. Elias Sampson
Corbin hits the End Of Days instantly and gets the win. This is a future WrestleMania match. It's easy to see why in 19 seconds.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Sami Zayn is here to talk about his loss to Titus O'Neil last week. He said he's sick of losing fair and square and he wants to become the NXT Champion. Out comes Tyson Kidd wearing a Zayn shirt. He tells Zayn that he will never be the NXT Champion because he squanders all of his opportunities. Zayn asks Kidd if he got Nattie's permission to come out and to go back to watching reruns of Total Divas. Kidd insults him back, but Zayn says he doesn't live in the past. He lives in the now. Zayn says that he's going to take on Kidd here tonight.
Lucha Dragons vs. Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy
This is a non-title match. Sin Cara goes for a slingshot DDT, but Murphy catches him and counters it with a nice suplex. It's pretty clear about 45 seconds in that Murphy is the star of this team. Both teams make a tag and Kalisto hits a crossbody and a springboard corkscrew. He hits a dive to the floor after tagging in Cara. He hits Blake with a cool sunset bomb from the top and that's enough for the victory. This was a spirited little match.
Match Rating: *
After highlights of the Tyler Breeze/Mojo Rawley match, Mojo tells us that he's going to be out for awhile with an injury and he'll be back with a vengeance.
Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte
This is also a non-title match. After a nice opening segment, Charlotte slows it down after a backbreaker. She misses with a dropkick and Becky hits her with some forearms. We get a double clothesline and both women are down. Lynch is able to bounce back quicker and hits a few more clotheslines. She hits a trio of leg drops and gets a 2 count. Becky hits a few moves, but again Charlotte hits Natural Selection out of nowhere for the victory. This one also had a lot of energy for a short match.
Match Rating: *3/4
We see some highlights of Hideo Itami/Ascension from last week and the Ascension tell Itami to stay away.
Enzo & Big Cass vs. Legionnaires
After getting slammed by Cass, Sylvester Lefort tags in Marcus Louis and accidentally rips off his wig. Louis snaps and attacks Lefort as Enzo and Cass look on. Fine by me.
Match Rating: No Match
After the match, Enzo and Cass say they want another match here. They say that they saw a woman with blue pants in the back and call her out. They then introduce Carmella for her debut.
Blue Pants vs. Carmella
I didn't realize Carmella used the "Fabulous" intro music already. She quickly hits the Code Of Silence and Blue Pants taps.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Becky tells Sasha Banks that what she did to Bayley was disgoosting. Sasha heels it up and walks away.
Adrian Neville is interviewed backstage tells Titus O'Neil that he won't back down just because he's on the main roster.
Next week on NXT, it will be Bayley vs. Sasha Banks and Adrian Neville vs. Titus O'Neil.
Sami Zayn vs. Tyson Kidd
We get some good, solid wrestling to start off. After Zayn shows off a little bit, we get an early commercial break. When we come back, Kidd is in control and has slowed the match down. Zayn makes his comeback and although he misses with the Helluva Kick he hits a double jump crossbody off the top rope. He hits the Blue Thunder Bomb, but Kidd kicks out. Kidd comes back and hits a nice swinging neckbreaker for a 2 count. Kidd turns Zayn over in the Sharpshooter, but Zayn is able to eventually pull himself to the bottom rope. Kidd misses with a slingshot leg drop on the apron and Zayn hits the exploder suplex into the corner. Zayn hits the Helluva Kick and picks up the victory. That was a good match, as if you would expect anything different here. It's nice to see Zayn get a decisive victory here.
Match Rating: ***1/4
There must have been something in the water tonight, because it just seemed like everyone was out there maximizing their minutes on this one. This is the NXT that I really enjoy and makes me want to keep coming back. Especially with no TakeOver for a couple of months, they kept everything moving forward.
Overall Rating: 72%
