BRM Reviews the 12/21/2016 NXT (GLORIOUS!)

[Big Red Machine]

DARIA BERENATO vs. BILLIE KAYE (w/Peyton Royce)- 3/10
This did its job to continue the feud with a heel finish. After the match, the evil Aussies called out Asuka.

THE AUTHORS OF PAIN (w/Paul Ellering) vs. TWO JOBBERS- squash
After the match Ellering cut a promo saying that the Authors of Pain are going for the tag titles, which we already knew.

ASUKA PROMO- her English is greatly improving.
Also, she had a stare-down with Nikki Cross, who I assume was once again lured away from the rest of Sanity when the shininess of Asuka’s title caught her eye.

FOUR WAY ELIMINATION #1 CONTENDERSHIP MATCH: Bobby Roode vs. Andrade “Cien” Almas vs. Roderick Strong vs. Tye Dillinger- 8.5/10
Bobby Roode’s gloriousness is BLINDING. The match was awesome. Certainly the best that Dillinger will ever be involved in. Also, more Strong vs. Roode, please.

A great show from NXT, almost entirely on the strength of the main event.

I was wondering if this was the first Roddy vs Roode ever.

Cagematch.net says yes.
