We're just two weeks away till NXT adds another hour and also broadcast live but did this episode built some excitement for the September 18th NXT show?
No, they took a clip of a typical anime as an inspiration and decided to have a filler episode which I get it considering that it gives the NXT creative team an opportunity to refill their creative kool-aid.
Breezango vs Chase Parker and Matt Martel.
If there's one thing both teams have in common is that their theme songs have funk in them. Fandango at one point, jirates after he hits a leg drop on Parker.
Minutes after Breeze tagged Fandango, he laid waste on Parker and Martel to which the fashion police won the match with a backbreaker position into an elbow drop from Fandango. Great seeing those guys utilized like that and hopefully that continues.
We went from a quick Jordan Myles interview from Cathy Kelly featuring Keith Lee to a beatdown from Io Shirai to Candice LeRae outside full sail to a quick Cameron Grimes promo frustrated that he's back in the line. That's a mouth full.
Velveteen Dream vs Kota Reeves.
This was rather a quick one and Kota takes the finest L once again with a dream volley driver. After the match, Velveteen looks at the titantron to see Roderick Strong burning Dream's sofa.
We then watched a quick promo package about Rhea Ripley showing up on last week's NXT show and it has been announced that Baszler will face Ripley in a one on one match in a non-title match next week. I would've preferred if they put it on the Sep 18th episode but it is what it is.
Taynara vs Bianca Belair.
This was aight. Taynara Conti beats up Belair's arm and minutes later, Bianca caught her on the outside after Taynara attempted a cross body and delivers her a fallaway slam. The match ended with the EST and won the match.
By the way, Bianca Belair is part of a triple threat match number one contender's match between Mia Yim and Io Shirai that's scheduled for the Sep 18th show. That should be very interesting.
Another thing that's going to happen next week, Johnny Gargano address his future and that could have a few scenarios. The obvious one being is he's moving to the main roster but the other could be that a wrestler will interrupt his promo *coughing Shane Throne* (by the way, I didn't read any spoilers, I'm just guessing that's all).
Adam Cole vs Jordan Myles for the NXT Championship.
Adam starts off this match by taunting Jordan Myles. Myles then hits Cole's arm with a quick splash. Afterwards, Adam Cole pushed Myles on to the ring post which looked vicious.
Myles hits a beautiful looking crossbody to a near fall and then, Cole delivered a kick on Myles' head and a backstabber but that didn't end the match.
Cole reversed the 450 splash from Myles thanks to his knees and because of his right knee I believe, he retained the NXT championship with the last shot. This match had a very old school 1980s slow-paced feel to it for some odd reason.
Overall, I really like this match but it's not great or anything but Jordan Myles looked great in defeat. I say this word a lot but hopefully, he keeps on developing core character slowly but surely.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
