NXT WOMEN’S TITLE MATCH: Charlotte(c) vs. Bayley- 6/10
You know how they have that graphic of the title belt on the screen before a title match? Well this time they also had a sparkly sound-effect (like the one that used to be at the beginning of Alexa Bliss’ entrance), because all girls like sparkly things, and we’re not supposed to actually take them seriously as grown women at all.
Charlotte worked over Bayley’s knee all match… then randomly won with a terrible looking Natural Selection.
HIDEO ITAMI vs. VIKTOR (w/Konnor)- no rating, good segment.
The match never officially starts because both members of the Ascension jump Itami and beat the sh*t out of him.
ENZO TRAINS CARMELLA- he is being sleazy, so she throws a dropkick. With no formal training at all. I guess that “don’t try this at home” stuff was a joke. The reason they are in here in the middle of the night is so no one sees them training this unsigned amateur. So Big Cass decided to post it on the internet.
BARON CORBIN vs. TROY MCLAINE- squash.
I don’t see why people are so high on Corbin. He’s just a random dude with personality wrestling squash matches.
TYSON KIDD PROMO- good stuff.
LEGIONNAIRES PROMO- they’ll be wrestling Enzo and Colin again next week. What are the chances that this goes more than five minutes? I’d say about 5%.
TYE DILLENGER & JASON JORDAN vs. THE VAUDEVILLANS- 3/10
I hate the Vaduevillans. They are boring as hell and will never go anywhere. Why are we wasting time with them?
ITAMI & THE TRAINER BACKSTAGE- FUNAKI SHOWS UP! And he’s got Itami’s back! HELLS YEAH!
DEVIN TAYLOR INTERVIEWS BAYLEY- GGRR!
No! No one looks up to you, Bayley. Just go away and retire forever. Those young girls out there will get themselves a real role model like Charlotte or Nattie. Someone who doesn’t come across like a mentally damaged child.
HOORAY FOR SASHA!
LAST CHANCE MATCH FOR THE NXT TITLE: Adrian Neville(c) vs. Tyson Kidd- 7.75/10
Great stuff, and I really liked the overbooking with Titus and Zayn.
I loved the way they went off the air, too. Tyson sitting in a corner, while Mrs. Cody (sorry everyone, I’m baking on her kayfabe name) announced that “Tyson Kidd has no more NXT Championship opportunities).
A great episode of NXT.
STUPID ANNOUNCER QUOTES:
1. Tensai “Beating someone once is difficult. Beating them twice is almost near impossible.”
We have seen EXACTLY THIS happen TWICE in the past three weeks! (Corbin vs. Parker, Mojo vs. Dempsey)… and that excludes all of the other times we’ve seen someone beat someone else more than once.
