A lot of things happened on this show but that doesn't mean it was a great show or anything like that. It was fine for what it was.
The Viking Raiders Addresses The NXT Tag Team Championship.
Before this, they introduced Beth Phoenix as their new replacement for Percy Watson in the commentary which I'm okay with this decision. After this, The Viking Raiders said that they brutalized the RAW tag team division.
They then called out the NXT general manager in William Regal and the Viking Raiders told him that they wanna relinquish the titles. Out came The Street Profits and the duo in Dawkins and Ford said that they brought the fight in the Viking Raiders. Ford also said that deep down, The Street Profits can beat The Viking Raiders to which Dawkins said: “if that's your real name”. Good one.
The Viking Raiders took the belts from William Regal and told him to make the match which that's exactly what the NXT general manager did. This segment was fine. It did its job to progress this rivalry.
After that, Cathy Kelly asked Adam Cole who was the leader of The Undisputed Era considering what happened last week. Adam Cole said that the leader is still himself and then out came Roderick Strong. He told Adam that he took care of the problem basically insinuating that Roderick beat up Matt Riddle which led to Cole giving him the Undisputed Era arm band.
Keith Lee vs Cesaro Bononi.
This was an okay match. Keith Lee won the match with the spirit bomb.
After Cathy Kelly announced that Shayna Baszler will defend her NXT Women's Championship against Io Shirai at The next Takeover show now known as “NXT Takeover: XXV”, Kelly saw the Forgotten Sons going to William Regal’s office and she asked them why are they going to his office?
They basically replied by telling her that William Regal forgot the Forgotten Sons and they in The Street Profits will witness first hand why they don't forget them.
Kushida vs Kona Reeves.
During the match, Drew Gulak came out with no music and watches the match on the stage area. The match ended with the Kimura lock to Reeves and won the match. Interesting that Gulak was watching the match like that.
After this, Bianca Belair dragged Cathy Kelly to William Regal until Mia Yim stopped her. Bianca Belair told her that she's getting a title opportunity to which Mia Yim said that she went to William’s office for a rematch against the “undefeated” one. Their match last week was decent so I don't mind a rematch.
Speaking of a rematch, Johnny Gargano announced after he was asked about Matt Riddle’s attack from Roderick Strong that he will put his title on the line against Adam Cole at Takeover: XXV.
Vanessa Bourne vs Jessie.
Meh match. Vanessa Bourne won the match with a spinning neckbreaker.
Viking Raiders vs The Street Profits for the NXT Tag Team Championship.
Yo. This match was quick but it was pretty good. Lots of near falls despite being a pretty short match. The match ended in a DQ because of The Forgotten Sons and the Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch came out to beat up The Forgotten Sons and it turned into chaos. I read the spoilers and I know what happens with the status of the NXT tag team championship but I'm not gonna spoil it because I'm not an A-Hole.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: The NXT Tag Team Championship and the ending of that match.
Didn't like: Nothing really.
