BRM Reviews the 9/13/2017 NXT (great!)
Posted: Sep 15th, '17, 02:19
PEYTON ROYCE & BILLIE KAY vs. RUBY RIOT & NO ONE?- 3.75/10
Nikki Cross showed up to watch for a bit, then jumped onto the apron to be Ruby’s partner. She beat up the heels for a while, tagged out, and then left, looking extremely pleased with herself. Ruby then hit her big diving senton for win. The match did what it was supposed to do. I’m sure Cross’ motives will be revealed in time, but it’s also possible that she’s just totally nutters.
TWO GUYS I DOND’T RECOGNIZE WERE DICKS TO JOHNNY GARGANO- they’re the guys who DIY were facing when Ciampa had his initial injury. Gargano will wrestling one of them next.
AN INTERVIEWER INTERVIEWS NO WAY JOSE- good promo Jose on Lars Sullivan. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. No Way Jose is a perfect undercard babyface.
JOHNNY GARGANO vs. RIDDICK MOSS (w/Tino Sabbatelli)- 6/10
Good storytelling. Gargano carries Moss to what I’m certain is the best match he’s ever had.
THE STREET PROFITS vs. THE EALY BROTHERS- no rating, very fun semi-squash.
It took years, but Angelo Dawkins has grown a personality.
REGAL TELLS US HE’LL LET US KNOW HOW THE NEXT NXT WOMEN’S CHAMPION WILL BE CROWNED WHEN HE FIGURES IT OUT- sure.
Next week… ALEISTER BLACK SPEAKS!
WOLFGANG PROMO- meh.
PETE DUNNE PROMO- he snubs the interviewer.
WWE UK TITLE MATCH: Pete Dunne(c) vs. Wolfgang- 8/10
Okay. I get how this division works. They show up, have an awesome title match, then disappear for two months.
POST-MATCH SEGMENT- good stuff out of Dunne, but it felt more like the post-match attack by FutureDRagon was an excuse to set that stuff up than anything natural because the UK Division has felt detached from everything else.
A great show from NXT!
