BRM Reviews the 4/11/2018 NXT
Posted: Apr 12th, '18, 00:15
KAIRI SANE vs. LACEY EVANS- 6/10
A very good showing from Evans. She has also started to figure out how to be her character during the match.
CATHY KELLEY INTERVIEWS THE UNDISPUTED ERA- they don’t answer her question of why Roddy turned on Dunne. Mauro tried to spin this as them f*cking with the fans by making them wait to find out.
AUTHORS PAIN INTERVIEW & SEGMENT WITH PAUL ELLERING- Good
This was shot after Raw. They cut a promo talking about destroying the first Smackdown Tag Team Champions. The interviewer (Mike Rome, who I don’t think I’ve seen in forever) asked them why they left Ellering at ringside. They said that it isn’t about Ellering anymore; it’s about them. Ellering himself then showed up and demanded to know why they abandoned him when he was the one who has come up with the strategies for all of their successes. They told him that his “chapter ended” with NXT, and it was about them now.
JOHNNY GARGANO RETURNS NEXT WEEK- cool
POST-TAKEOVER SHAYNA BASZLER PROMO- excellent!
MIKE ROME INTERVIEWS EMBER MOON & NIA JAX AFTER RAW- Ember put over the rest of the division and expressed her confidence that they can stand up to Shayna Baszler.
TINO SABBATELLI & RIDDICK MOSS vs. HEAVY MACHINERY- 4.25/10
They were having an okay match that ended when they were all assaulted by The War Raiders, who are War Machine but with a name that, while lamer, avoids all trademarking issues with Marvel Comics.
A decent show by post-Takeover show standards.
