Kyle O'Reilly vs Pete Dunne vs Johnny Gargano. Number One Contender's Match For The NXT Championship.
NXT started off the program with a high profiled, action-packed encounter that I heavily enjoyed.
Adam Cole with the "doomer mentality" took out everyone in the match which led to William Regal along with a bunch of security guards, stopping Cole from additional attack.
Later in the night, Adam Cole got a word with the NXT champion Karrion Kross and he basically said, "I'm just……..better than you, bro".
Kross responded saying that he wants to face EVERYONE in that number one contender’s match.
Cole's unapologetic confidence was the highlight of the episode.
Yes, he hasn't won a lot of matches to get to the champion scene in the first place but the way NXT told that story somehow made sense.
Ember Moon Calls Out Raquel Gonzalez Then…….
Ember managed to nail Gonzalez with a series of kicks onto the champ's face. Speaking of kicks, Ember received some from Dakota Kai.
Ember Moon's backstage promo, confirms that we're getting a women's championship between Ember Moon And Raquel Gonzalez and I do not hate it at all.
I think Ember is a great opponent for the champ, to be honest.
LA Knight vs Jake Atlas.
LA Knight is going back to his losing ways as seen in this match taking an L thanks to an impressive looking top rope from Jake Atlas.
In a video scene from Xia Li (that rhymed for some reason), Li stated that she doesn't forget the way Mercedes Martinez disrespected her going back to their first encounter at the first-ever Mae Young Classic.
Martinez responded to that promo saying that she'll beat her at Takeover: In Your House 2 just like Mae Young Classic. I love the use of continuity in their promos. It enhances the feud.
Kushida vs Carmelo Hayes For The Cruiserweight Championship.
This is the first time I'm seeing Carmelo wrestle and he's really goooooood. The match was a bit short yet fun to watch. Kushida retains the championship.
Franky Monet is reading all of the glowing reviews of her "world premiere". The woman is f**king good at her job so I agree with all of the positive takes about her.
Seeing the Diamond Mine vignettes and I honestly do not know who it is but I'm pretty sure it isn't Parker Bordeaux.
The Way In Candice LeRae And Indi Hartwell vs Zoey Stark And Zayda Ramier.
The bout was okay. Nothing too notable happened in this. After defeating the team of Stark and Ramier, LeRae told Indi Hartwell to forget about Dexter Lumis.
*Whispering "calm down, Omar". It's not worth the anger”*.
Msk vs Legado De La Fantasma For The NXT Tag Team Championship.
A fantastic tag team title match with a lot of exciting high spots.
The shenanigans outside the ring from Bronson Reed and Santos Escobar did not stop Msk from walking out of the CWC still as the tag team champions.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Adam Cole’s character arc, Msk vs Legado De La Fantasma For The NXT Tag Team Championship, A nice use of continuity in the Xia Li and Mercedes Martinez promos, Carmelo Hayes is a gooooood wrestler, Kyle O'Reilly vs Pete Dunne vs Johnny Gargano. Number One Contender's Match For The NXT Championship.
Didn't like: LA Knight losing.
