This episode of NXT TV was okay overall with a great main event and here's why.
Aleister Black vs Roderick Strong.
This show kicked off with a decent match. Aleister Black won the match with the black mass to Strong. After the match, the rest of the Undisputed Era came out with a 2 on 1 assault to Black. That led to Ricochet coming out to Aleister’s rescue.
After that, a backstage segment happened where Shayna Baszler and her gang were arguing with half of the women's division in the locker room.
This announcement has me excited because the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament is coming back in two weeks. The first 4 teams that are competing in this tournament on NXT TV two weeks from now are The Forgotten Sons, Undisputed Era, Street Profits and the team of Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel. The final 4 teams will be announced next week on NXT.
Mia Yim vs Xia Li.
Not a fan of this match to be honest. It's not terrible but it was boring. After Mia Yim wins this match with Seoul food (or Protect Ya Neck), Shayna and the gang rushed to the ring with a beatdown. The women's division came out to save Mia Yim but they got their backside kicked by her gang. This is a way for keeping Shayna Baszler busy with a short feud while Bianca Belair and Io Shirai are feuding so I don't mind the ending based on that situation.
Minutes after that, a backstage interaction between former DIY buddies and Johnny Gargano wife, Candice LeRae which is rather intriguing.
Johnny Gargano vs Velveteen Dream for the NXT North American Championship.
Before the match started, somebody in the crowd tore the Johnny Gargano sign in front of him and Gargano didn't see it which made me laugh. Nevertheless, this was a fantastic bout between those two. Velveteen Dream won the match with the purple rainmaker so in other words, Velveteen Dream is the New North American champion. Congratulations to the D-R-E-A-M is.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: the Main event.
Didn't like: Mia Yim vs Xia Li.
