The first series of matches in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament has finally arrived but was it that good? Hell yea it was. If you just wanna watch guys wrestle then this is the episode for you.
Before I get to talk about NXT this week, it has been confirmed by WWE that Tommaso Ciampa will undergo neck surgery later today considering that WWE announced it around 14 hours ago. Dave Meltzer first broke the story on the Wrestling Observer Radio (click here to listen the full audio on this).
By the way, I read an article from Rothmanorto.com about the Anterior Cervical Fusion recovery process and it takes 3 to 6 months but the result may depend on the patient so keep that in mind. I wish Ciampa nothing but a speedy recovery and will see how the NXT championship scene goes from here.
Aleister Black and Ricochet vs Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel.
That springboard moonsault to Ricochet from Aichner was PICTURE PERFECT. Anyways, This was a great match. No shocker, the team of Aleister Black and Ricochet won the match with the black mass to Fabian Aichner. What an encounter between all four men.
After the match, a rematch between Dominic Djakovic vs Keith Lee has been scheduled for NXT in two weeks. My wish came true guys. Can't wait.
The Forgotten Sons vs Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch.
This was a hard hitting match. Oney Lorcan was selling his injured back and that was a big disadvantage because The Forgotten Sons won the match with a powerbomb into a backstabber.
Immediately after that, The Velveteen Dream came out and stands on the announce table. Velveteen Dream grabbed a microphone and he reminded everybody that he's the North American champion.
The Original Bro, Matt Riddle came out and he said that he wants to take a closer look at that championship and wonders how it would look like around his waist. The Dream replied by putting a spotlight on him which was perfection.
A match between The Velveteen Dream and The Original Bro for the North American Championship? Sign me up.
A number one contender's match has announced for NXT TV next week between Io Shirai and Bianca Belair. Looking forward to that.
Moustache Mountain vs Street Profits.
Another good tag team match. Moustache Mountain won the match with a reverse fireman's carry from Trent Seven into a stomp from Tyler Bate. This was a shocker for me given that Trent Seven and Tyler Bate are currently on the NXT UK roster and I thought this was an easy win from the Street Profits.
Undisputed Era vs #DIY.
Nice to hear the #DIY theme song. The match itself was fantastic. The team of Johnny Gargano won the match with the #DIY kick or at least that's what I call it.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: Every single tag match in that tournament so far.
Didn't like: Nothing.
