ADRIAN NEVILLE vs. CAMACHO- 3.5/10
A decent, semi-dominant win for the new champ.
ADRIAN NEVILLE PROMO- Great babyface stuff. Then Bo comes out and and says that Neville didn't pin him and he will be cashing in his return match soon.
EMMA PROMO (from after last week's show)- she is disappointed that she lost her title match with Paige but at least she earned Paige's respect. She knows she will rise and become a champion in the WWE.
Then a weird thing happened. Ric Flair showed up... and he totally heeled her, saying that she and Paige both needed to understand that Charlotte would be the next NXT Women's Champion. THen Charlotte showed up and was mean to Emma, so Emma did her dance move, almost poking Charlotte in the face. Props to Charlotte for not flinching. Emma walked off and Flair said that Charlotte was now in Emma's head.
PAIGE PROMO (from after last week's show)- standard babyface fighting champion stuff. Then Flair and Charlotte show up and do a similar thing that they did with Emma, except that Charlotte's dialogue was horrible.
EMMA vs. CHARLOTTE (w/Sasha Banks)- 3.5/10
So after all of that build up involving Flair mentoring Charlotte, instead Charlotte was accompanied to the ring by Sasha Banks. To make matters worse, Summer Rae was not with them.
The ring announcers doing the Emma dance made me smile.
They wrestle for a bit, with Emma dominating then Charlotte fakes an injury... and I loved that Emma saw right through it. Sasha Banks then distracted Emma, allowing Charlotte to hit a cool finisher for the pin.
RENEE YOUNG INTERVIEWS SAMI ZAYN (from after next week's show)- I didn't like this. Renee asked him what Cesaro said to him after the match. Zayn said that it was something personal between them, but that he got what he wanted out of the match. AS a fan who wanted to see Sami get the respect he deserves, I feel kind of ripped off by this answer.
COREY GRAVES PROMO- he isn't happy that he wasn't booked on Arrival. He is also unhappy because Sami Zayn doesn't win matches often. He seems to think that Zayn has gotten a ton of rematches against Cesaro. He clearly was not paying attention to the build-up to Arrival. He says that he would only need one match to beat Cesaro. His stuff on Yoshi Tatsu was good, though.
YOSHI TATSU vs. COREY GRAVES- DUD!
I think Graves has new music. AS for Tatsu... I have no idea because I have seen him in so long that I forgot his music.
Yoshi Tatsu gets counted out AFTER BEING THROWN INTO THE RING STEPS. That's like going down to a vertical suplex!
Graves beats Tatsu down after the match. Sami Zayn makes the save.
DEVIN TAYLOR ATTENDS AN "ADAM ROSE PARTY"- this was some sort of weird rave/costume party. Apparently Adam Rose is a wrestler. There was a luchador swinging a light stick around and I'm pretty sure Sami Calihan was the DJ. If we ever get another one of these, I demand a Brodus Clay cameo somewhere in the background.
RENEE YOUNG INTERVIEWS XAVIER WOODS (from last week)- He calls Rusev an "Ivan Drago-looking piece of garbage," which is really funny when you realize that Woods used to wrestle as "Apollo Creed."
ADAM ROSE vs. WESLEY BLAKE- SO MUCH FUN!
Okay... Rose's entrance ROCKS! He comes out, followed by a train of his followers, all in their crazy costumes. He gets up on the apron and then does a trust-fall... and they body-surf him around the ring.
The crowd was totally into Rose, giving his entrance a "THAT WAS AWESOME!" chant and cheering for his antics. Well... everyone except for one guy, who chanted "WE WANT RUSEV!" in the hopes of Rusev coming out and doing some sort of 911-esque run in, but everyone else shouted him down with "NO WE DON'T!" chants. Roses finisher is a much lamer version of Erick Stevens' choo-choo.
Anyway, having enjoyed his character, I want on Wikipedia to find out who Adam Rose is and... HOLY F*CKING SH*T!
SAMI ZAYN vs. COREY GRAVES- 6.75/10
The match was very good, and Zayn going over by small package was definitely the right finish, but I can't help but fell like this whole thing was rushed. They could have gotten at least another week or two out of this,plus a Graves vs. Cesaro match.
Overall, a good NXT.
