This episode of NXT was alright. Did its job to build storylines further into the future.
Aliyah vs Mia Yim.
Don't know why but Mia Yim's theme song is slowly growing on me. Anywho, Mia Yim was talking trash to Aliyah and after Aliyah was crawling backwards, Mia Yim said something intimidating and Aliyah literally bounced back quickly. That is a GIF-worthy moment right there.
The match ended with Mia Yim delivers protect ya neck to Aliyah and continues her big moment going forward. This reminds me of when Becky Lynch started to crack up some wins last year and that's how you build a contender for the championship.
William Regal was interviewed in his office about Io Shirai's actions last week until the Forgotten Sons rushed to him and demanded a championship opportunity. Regal said no and Regal decided to make The Street Profits fight against Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch for the NXT Tag Team Championship next week on NXT.
Adam Cole NXT Championship Celebration.
Adam Cole's championship Celebration continues and where we last stop, he went to a pizza shop called "The Gargano's" (and I said last week that it was on England for some reason).
He went to the shop and bought four pizzas and when Johnny Gargano's father was working on that order, Cole pinned a poster of himself on a wall next to a Johnny Gargano poster. Adam Cole then visited a wrestling school that Johnny Gargano is a part of and he gave a piece of free advice to those wrestlers that were training.
That advice was that they should look up to another hero and eventually left the place. That was a much better segment than last week's version and it just highlighted how great of a heel Adam Cole is.
Also, Killian Dain is re-debuting on NXT. When? Well, it says on the video package that is "coming soon" so there's that.
Kushida vs Jeff Parker.
That was a quick squash match. Kushida won the match with the kimura lock.
Isaiah "Swerve" Scott vs Cameron Grimes.
Cameron Grimes is someone I'm obviously familiar with because he was a TNA guy named Trevor Lee. Don't know who's Isiah "Swerve" Scott is but he was very impressive in this match.
That sitout powerbomb from Grimes was probably the best powerbomb I've seen in months. Cameron Grimes actually won the match with the double stomp on Scott's chest. A decent match overall but it started off very slow.
Bianca Belair vs Priscilla Zuniga.
This was a straight-up beatdown from Bianca Belair which is something that she needed after taking back to back Ls as of late. Bianca Belair won the match with the K.O.D.
Tyler Breeze vs Roderick Strong.
For a main event, I was a bit disappointed but it was an okay match. Roderick Strong won the match with the end of heartache after the rest of The Undisputed Era in Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish distracts Tyler Breeze.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: Adam Cole Championship Celebration.
Didn't like: Nothing.
