WWE NXT 18/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

The first and the upcoming NXT TV episodes with an hour added to it and was it any good? Honestly, it was great. Really liked how they implemented NXT, NXT UK and 205 Live.

The only thing I could critique is that the pacing was a bit off but I'm sure that Triple H and the rest of the creative team will handle that in the near future.

There was a different intro narrated by Triple H basically putting NXT over which was great.

Io Shirai vs Bianca Belair vs Mia Yim vs Candice Lerae. Winner Gets To Face Shayna Baszler For The NXT Women's Championship.

Mia Yim at one point, hits the toe pay suicida (yes, I pronounced it that way sue me) Mamma Mia to most of the competitors and then, The genius of the sky does something genius in her element with a moonsault on everybody (that first line made no sense Omar, what is wrong with you?).

The match ended with a reverse hurricanrana and a springboard moonsault to become the number one contender for the NXT women's championship. Don't be surprised if Io Shirai or Rhea Ripley gets involved in the title match in two weeks on NXT TV. Overall a very fun opening match.

Afterwards, there were hype promos played for the North American Championship match after the Cameron Grimes match, Matt Riddle vs Killian Dain match in a street fight and Keith Lee's feud with Dominic Djakovic.

Cameron Grimes vs Sean Maluta.

That match lasted for a very, very, very short time. Grimes won the match with a running stomp.

Velveteen Dream vs Roderick Strong For The NXT North American Championship.

During this championship match, Roderick Strong threw Velveteen Dream on the barricade right on the Dreams ribs. The messiah of the backbreaker delivers you guessed it, a backbreaker in a near fall.

Strong reversed a sharpshooter from the Velveteen Dream but he would encounter a push from Dream which landed Strong on the steel steps. The dream then hits the Dream DT but that wasn't enough to end the Undisputed Era's prophecy.

An Undisputed ERA-aided distraction allowed Strong to connect with The End of Heartache, but it wasn't enough to put Dream away.

Roderick Strong delivered the sitout powerbomb followed by a Boston crab and out came the rest of the Undisputed Era to distract Velveteen Dream which was successful because Roderick Strong hits the end of heartache twice and became the North American champion.

This is what NXT has been building up for several months now and it was worth the wait. I'm very curious as to where this goes from here. The match was decent but not amazing in my opinion.

Pete Dunne vs Arturo Ruas.

This is where the second hour hits (No shit, Omar) and while this was a cooling-off match, it was decent for what it was.

Dunne ate a series of Muay Thai kicks from Ruas but Dunne locks in a modified armbar while bending Ruas' fingers and the bruiserweight won the match.

Xia Li vs Aliyah.

This was aight. Xia Li won the match with a spinning kick of some sort after Aliyah got a roundhouse kick.

Kushida vs Denzel Dejournette.

Imperium's Alexander Wolfe, Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel arrived on the scene and had other plans.

Denzel's coming out with a house party (the movie) like theme song but Marcel Barthel, Fabian Aichner and Alexander Wolfe didn't like it or at least they beat up Denzel so that the WWE UK champion in Walter shows up which that's exactly what happened.

Despite a numbers disadvantage, Kushida evaded the attacks of Wolfe, Aichner and Barthel.

Walter cut a promo saying that they what to honour the industry that is pro wrestling. Kushida came out and he challenges Walter to a match for the UK title and then a quick brawl happened. Kushida vs Walter? Where's a petition I can sign for this match to happen even though petitions don't mean crap but that's a different topic.

Oney Lorcan vs Lio Rush. Cruiserweight championship Number One Contenders Match.

Lio Rush and Oney Lorcan tussled in a back-and-forth battle with the winner receiving a WWE Cruiserweight Championship opportunity.

Good to see Lio Rush back in-ring action. This match kicked off with quick rights and a neckbreaker from Lorcan but Rush kicked out. Lorcan then locks in the half Boston crab on Rush but Rush barely escaped. Lio delivered a stunner to Lorcan but Lorcan went back to the half Boston crab.

A beautiful looking sitting Spanish fly and a splash later and he becomes the number one contender for the cruiserweight championship. That was fun to watch. A great match and what a way for Lio Rush to come back with a great match. That is impressive.

Matt Riddle vs Killian Dain In A Street Fight.

The brawl quickly progressed out of the ringside area and toward backstage.

They brawled outside the night but then, Walter and his buddies came out to help him but then The Street Profits and the rest of the NXT roster came out for a fight to which that's exactly what happened.

Chaos ensued and the show faded to back. What a way to end this episode. Whatever that was, it was awesome *claps several times*, it was awesome *claps several times*.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: The ending, Lio Rush vs Oney Lorcan, Kushida's interaction with Walter, the fatal four-way women's championship number one contender's match.

Didn't like: Pacing was a bit off.

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not. Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).
