This was a wrestling heavy show for the most part and you know what? I like it.
Velveteen Dream vs Buddy Murphy for the NXT North American Championship.
Great match. During the match, Velveteen Dream hit a superkick to Murphy that knocked Murphy's head off. Minutes later, Murphy hits a superkick while Dream was upside down followed by a sitout powerbomb to a near fall.
The match ended with Dream does his signature moves in the death valley driver and the purple rainmaker and won the match. Again, that was a great TV match and I know this early to say this but that was a match of the year candidate.
After this amazing encounter, Street Profits was knocking on William Regal’s office door and the War Raiders (yes, I'm gonna call them that because The Viking Experience is an AWFUL name) came from Regal’s and said that The Street Profits are getting their championship match next week. Weird that The Viking Experience wore the War Raiders shirt.
Johnny Champion Talks about his big win at NXT Takeover: New York.
Johnny Gargano cut a promo basically saying that this a moment he's been waiting for. Out came Adam Cole and the rest of Undisputed Era to spoil the celebration and he said that Johnny Gargano win was a fluke with chants of “You tapped out”.
Gargano replied by saying that his win was undisputed and he's not gonna cry like a little bay bay if he lost the match (that was a great line). Roderick Strong from behind assaulted the champ along with the rest of Undisputed Era. Good segment. The question is, Are we gonna get a rematch? Hope so.
Dominic Djakovic vs Aaron Frye.
That was a squash match. Dominic Djakovic with a dominant victory with a big boot. After the match, He cut a promo basically saying that he wants the North American Championship.
Oh, and a match between Johnny Gargano and Roderick Strong is scheduled for next week's episode. Also, Kushida will debut on NXT TV in two weeks. Can’t wait.
Shayna Baszler vs Kairi Sane for the NXT Women's Championship.
During the match, Shayna Baszler beat up Kairi Sane arm so bad that the medical team came out to check on Kairi. After Shayna hits Sane on her arm, Io Shirai came out and pushed Shayna Baszler which led to the match ending in a DQ.
That was a unique ending. I thought that maybe somewhere down the road WWE could build a feud where Kairi Sane was angry at Io Shirai considering that Io costed Kairi’s championship match but I don't know if that's gonna happen.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: Dream vs Murphy for the NXT North American Championship, Johnny Gargano interaction with the Undisputed Era in an in-ring segment.
Didn't like: Nothing really.
