Having it open the show was terrible though. Amazing match, but it made the rest of the show seem tedious in comparison

With a bunch of new viewers tuning into NXT for presumably the first time, the first thing they saw was one of the hottest acts in the company putting on an incredible match. Nothing like a good first impression.

Just don't see the sense in blowing your load and then having everything be downhill from there. They should have built toward this match over the night, recapping the first match and feud, maybe even go into the ROH history again.

The match had 100 X the build of Neville/Bo. I get that you want the title to go on last usually, but there are exceptions. Cesaro's main roster prestige >> NXT title
