Just wanna say overall a really down year, only 6 good wrestlers all year and everyone else is really bad, the main events were decent. Neville was a good champ, but he never really felt like the guy. It was always Sami, he was the chosen one. Sami Zayn killed it, anything he was involved in was pretty much the highlight. The tag division was piss poor all year, those paper champs sucked. The only real bright spark was the development of the woman's division the last 4 months of the year. 2015 should be a big year for them, I think the NXT title drops and the tag teams somewhat make a comeback, but that's based off muscle memory.

Oh and the re-birth of Tyson Kidd :mark:

Sor far.

2013 > 2014 > 2012

Only reason I didn't pick Corbin is because he came on late. He was a no name jobber until September.

NXT Champion: Sami Zayn
NXT Tag Team Champions: Lucha Dragons
NXT Woman's Champion: Charlotte

NXT Episode 129
January 1st, 2015
Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida

Lucha Dragons vs. Jason Jordan & Tye Dillinger
Jordan/Kalisto rules as expected, sadly Tye and Cara can't hold up their end of the deal. Tye and Jordan do basic heel things on the heat, for some reason the crowd chant for Tye more than anyone. Morons. Sin Cara has a shit hot tag he fucks up 2 of the 3 Lucha moves he knows, it must be the curse of the Cara gimmick cause my Essa Hunico was never this bad. Anyway, he drops Tye with a sunset flip bomb off the middle rope for the win. *1/2

After the match; The Vaudevillians jump the champs from behind and leave them laid out.

Bull Dempsey finds CJ Parker in the locker room and says he wants him to make sure he doesn't humiliate himself against Baron Corbin again. Bull says it's not about beating him, it's about humiliating him in revenge and maiming him. CJ says he doesn't care, about Bull and Baron's problems he just needs to beat him. Bull says it's not about CJ, it's about the greater good.

Enzo, Cass, and Mella come down to the ring, Mella says she's the princess of Staten Island and the most fabulous diva in NXT. And all the chicks here need to watch their back, or they'll get merked. Crowd chants for BLUE PANTS and Enzo says inspired by Sami Zayn's [R]Evolution, in her road to redemption, SHE'S CONFIDENT! SHE'S SMART! SHE'S SEXY! SHE'S COOL! Back by popular demand.....BLUE PANTS! Cass sings her song again.

Carmella (w/Enzo & Cass) vs. Blue Pants
This is the blind leading the blind again, it goes about a minute until Enzo gets on the apron to give Mella encouragement but that distracts her and Blue Pants rolls her up for the win. After the match; Blue pants celebrate tot he back and Mella attacks Enzo for being a fuck.

CJ Parker vs. Baron Corbin
34-second squash match, at some point Bull came out to watch. End of dayz ends it.

After the match; Baron gets on the mic and asks if he'll stand there all day looking scared, or if they're gonna do this. They have a shitty brawl on the floor, they try to play it off as they're equal but it's clearly not even close. Corbin washes him until refs pull them apart and Bull leaves.

FUCK YEEEEEEES! The marvelous Devin Taylor is back from her December vacation and is with GM William Regal. Regal announces that next week, Sami Zayn will make his return and update us on his health and the NXT Championship. Curtis Axel comes over and says Regal never got back to him when he told him he wanted to recharge his career. He's beaten Triple H and John Cena. Regal says he's happy to have him here, and next week, he'll face Hideo Itami.

Devin Taylor is in the ring and brings out Woman's Champion, Charlotte. Devin asks what's left for her? and the crowd start a "BLUE PANTS" chant. Charlotte says nobody chants while she's talking. She says NXT is her home and they're revolutionizing women's wrestling. Sasha Banks is the toughest she's ever faced, but she's beaten her twice. Sasha Banks then comes out and Becky Lynch is with her. Sasha says she's SO smart, but that doesn't matter cause she's about to get the beat down of her life. They get in the ring, Nattie's music hits and she comes out for the save before the BFF's 2.0 can attack. BFF's leave.

Next Week: Vaudevillians/Lucha Dragons for the title & Curtis/Hideo

Sami Zayn sends a video from his phone into the studio, Sami says Regal asked him to do this and the truth is he doesn't know what to say. He wants to talk about what this title meant to him, but all he can think of is 1 guy. The guy he's known the longest, the 1 guy whose name has been synonymous with his career. The guy he trusted the most. Sami says he'll say it when he returns next week.

In a pre-tape, Renee is in a sit-down interview with Kevin Owens. She asks about Kevin having his moment, and Sami having his. Kevin says Sami had his moment, and you can't ask for a better one. She says he stole Sami's moment, so he stands up and says they're not lifelong friends and if she thinks he stole anything, it's time for him to go, and he just leaves.

The Ascension vs. Hideo Itami & Finn Balor
Doesn't touch the takeover match, like at all. They have the same formula with the faces cleaning house early and having a brief segment on Victor, but Finn gets distracted by Connor and takes him out allowing Victor to shove him off the apron. THAT LEADS TO AN ASCENSION HEAT SEGMENT FOR 10 STRAIGHT MINUTES! This stupid motherfucker Alex Riley tried to compare Connors fat fucking useless ass to GRONK! This smurf's caping for the Ascension is terrible. Hideo has a decent hot tag, as the match breaks down and Hideo hits this shitty looking spin kick on Victor for the win. *

NXT Episode 130
January 8th, 2015
Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida

SAMI ZAYN MAKES HIS FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE SINCE BECOMING NXT CHAMPION! He makes his way down to the ring, but before he talks he drops the mic and goes into the crowd to celebrate with the fans. He makes it back into the ring and holds the title up and says in the hands of anybody else, this title means you're the best, but in his hands, it means you can do it your way. You don't gotta listen to what anyone says you have to be or have to do or what you need to do to do it. You do you, do it better than anyone else, and the proof is right here. He says the title isn't his is OURS! Sami says he's not just a wrestler, but he's in a band called Sami Zayn and the Zayniacs and everyone in the crowd plays an instrument. The crowd begins singing "Ole Ole Ole" and Sami yells out "I LOVE THAT SONG" He says Takeover should have been the best night of his life, but it ended with Kevin Owens coming out sweating, crying, and bleeding and hugging him. It was 100% real, and then he ruined it and killed it. He hurt him but didn't end him. IM BACK! And ready to defend this at any time. Adrian Neville comes down to the ring, he says this is something he's wanted to say to him, the last time they fought they went to battle and Sami came out the better man, and he saw a new Sami, Sami the champion, and congratulates him. Sami says that means a lot and he doesn't know all the rules but he doesn't know he's owed a rematch. Regal comes out now, and he makes the match for next week.

Hideo Itami vs. Curtis Axel
So this ruled, Curtis is super brutal on offense working the back of the head and neck of Hideo, most of his offense is clubbing forearms to the neck which all look good before he slowly slows down the pace with holds. Curtis loses focus and turns to trash talking the fans, which allows Hideo to make a comeback, he finishes Curtis off with his shitty spinning kick for the win. **1/4

Backstage: Tyson Kidd is warming with his back to Nattie, as Saxton comes over and asks her if he can get a few words from TY. But she says he's busy warming up for his match NEXT WEEK against Finn. Saxton congratulates her on the new series of Total Divas, and she says she cries a lot but and thanks him. But TJ interrupts and asks when last did she check up on HIS cats. Nattie says our cats, and Kidd says when their sick he's the on chewing the food and giving it to them mouth to mouth BRUH! Nattie says he's not a bird, Kidd says he as a big match next week, Nattie says she has a big match too, and Tyson says to check on them and says Louis needs the metal dish, he has allergies. She leaves, and Tyson says he's not looking past Finn Balor, but he's looking past him to the NXT championship and becoming the face of NXT. And becoming the face of NXT AND THE SPCA. He's more than just a humanitarian, FACT! he's a man of the animals. Especially cats. But not Grumpy Cat. FACT!

Next Week: Corbin/Bull

Alexa Bliss vs. Sasha Banks (w/Becky Lynch)
This is a blast for the short amount of time it got, Sasha is super cocky coming in so Bliss takes the fight to her early, but Sasha puts a stop to it with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker to takeover, she doesn't really do anything outside talking shit and stomps before Bliss makes a comeback but Sasha cuts it off with the double knees to the gut and ends it with the Bank Statement for the win. **1/4

Chad Gable vs. Tyler Breeze
FUCK YEAH! GABLE! Gable outwrestles Tyler to start, but Breeze uses his expericence to take over and he gets into his aggressive style wearing Gable down, Tyler gets too cocky in trying to out mat and out groundwork Gable which allows Gable to make a 1 move comeback, but he walks into the Beauty shot for the win. **

Backstage: The spectacular Devin Taylor is with Finn Balor, Finn says he's looked up to Tyson his whole career and says they've trained a lot of the same places. He says Tyson will need more than nine lives to survive Finn Balor.

NXT Tag Team Championships: The Vaudevillains vs. The Lucha Dragons
This gets around 10 minutes, it's not bad but it doesn't blow me away either. It's just good. Kalisto continues to be the best and does his best job to try to drag the other 3 with him, but it's such a big task. VV isolate him for a bit, they grind him down with headlocks and stomps it's on par with Ascension's boring style, at least this isn't 10 minutes. Cara has his hot tag and does his stuff before the champs hit their shitty double team move for the win. This title run has been a flop. *1/4

NXT Episode 131
January 15th, 2015
Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida

Tyson Kidd vs. Finn Balor
Finn immediately hits the running dropkick and goes for the double stomp, but Kidd rolls out the way. This is the best Finn's looked so far, which isn't a shocker as he's on against someone the Calabar of TJ and is far away from that shitty tag team feud. Kidd weathers the Finn storm, before ducking the baseball slide and ramming Finn back first into the steel barricades to take over. He switches up between working the back and neck for his heat, it goes by super quick tho, and Finn hits a desperation Pele kick before making a comeback. Finn has a real nice comeback he hits everything cleanly and everything sounds stiff. Awesome moment Kidd catches the apron kick, and dragon leg whips him over the ropes allowing him to briefly get the momentum back in his corner. He hits the springboard elbow drop but Finn kicks out, TJ follows up with a sharpshooter but Finn makes the ropes. Kidd misses the apron Legdrop which allows Finn to hit a reverse DDT and the Coup De Grace to Kidd's head for the win. ***

Backstage: Devin Taylor is with Bull Dempsey, she asks what can we expect from his match again Corbin tonight. Bull says Corbin isn't the only one undefeated, he is too and tonight this is gonna be a quick one. This is Baron's end of days, as he lays on his back and looks up at the Last of a Dying Breed.

Baron Corbin vs. Bull Dempsey
This is probably the best it could be, it goes about a minute and a half. They brawl and slug it out the whole time until Bull misses the headbutt and Corbin ends him with the End of dayz.

Sasha Banks & Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte & Natalya
Renee dubs Sasha and Becky Team Bae. BEST AT EVERYTHING! This is a good time for how short it is, Nattie bullying and beating up Becky was fun as Nattie isn't a brawler so her rapid-fire elbows look stiff but funny at the same time. Nattie works a good chunk of this like she controls a lot of the babyface opening stuff and is even the one to get isolated by Team Bae, Charlotte has a mediocre hot tag, leading to the match breaking down. Sasha whips Charlotte neckfirst into the top rope before hitting the straightjacket neckbreaker for the win. *3/4

NXT Championship: Adrian Neville vs. Sami Zayn
Big shocker this is great, they'll never come close to the R-Evolution match because that has so many factors going in. This too has a great story with Sami coming off being out of action for a whole month, while Neville is in the " I have nothing to lose" position so he comes out showing great desperation. Both men show respect early, but that favors the challenge so Sami taps into what got him the title and tries to brawl with him. I love that both guys have no problems hitting one another as hard as they can, everything sounds brutal. They go back and forth with neither man really gaining the upper hand for long periods of time. I love that Neville had the rolling German's into the half and half scouted, Sami has this AWESOME KO sell job after Neville planted him with a Rana. BUT HE ALSO HALF PLAYS POSSUM TO THROW Neville off his game allowing Sami to make a brief comeback, Neville again has Sami scouted and counters the DDT to the floor with a superkick. Back in Sami hits the exploder suplex and the Helluva kick for the win. ***1/4

After the Match; Kevin Owens runs out and attacks Sami from behind, he hits him with a popup-powerbomb to end the show.

NXT Woman's Champion: Charlotte

NXT Episode 132
January 21st, 2015
Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida

Backstage: GM William Regal is in his office, he announces the next TakeOver special will happen on February 11th. He says due to the fact that Sami won, he has no made a #1 Contenders tournament starting tonight. And due to last weeks Woman's match. Charlotte defends her title against Sasha TONIGHT!

Sami Zayn comes out in full ring gear, he beats the shit out of Tye Dillinger and throws him out. SO NO MATCH! LOL! Sami grabs a mic and yells for Owens to get out here now, but Regal comes out instead. Regal says he needs to get himself under control cause this isn't the Sami he knows. Sami says he's not wrestling another match unless it's against Kevin. Regal says as GM, he can't allow people to jump people or jump in line for a title match. Sami says he doesn't care about the title, it can be non-title, JUST GIVE HIM TO HIM. He's asking him. PLEASE GIVE ME WHAT I WANT! Sami says he'll do what he wants, wrestle any contender, but he needs to get his hands on Kevin first. Regal says he clearly won't let it go, and Regal says at Takeover on February 11th, Sami will face Kevin Owens.

During the break; William Regal talks to one of the cameras, he announces the contract signing for Sami/Owens next week.

First Round Match in the #1 Contender's Tournament: Curtis Axel vs. Finn Balor
Finn doing the demon entrance in plain attire just looks weird. Good for 5 minutes, it basically an extended Finn showcase with Curtis again having a great showing, stuff aggressive and pinpoint with his strikes but he never kicks it into another gear, Finn makes a comeback hitting his stuff before hitting the running dropkick and the Coup de Grace to win. **1/4

Backstage: Devin Taylor is with Sasha Banks, she asks for Sasha's thoughts about tonight's match. Sahsha says she's gonna do what she did last week and finally become NXT Champion.

Backstage: Bull says last week he had the ticket to the top slip through his fingers when he couldn't put down Corbin, but next week in their rematch there won't be any counting or bright lights just people chanting "BULL" :lmao

NXT Woman's Championship: Sasha Banks (w/Becky Lynch) vs. Charlotte
Good struggle for two minutes, both ladies take a nasty bump to the floor on a tie-up before getting back in. They most go back and forth on punches until Becky attacks Charlotte for the DQ. It's a 2-1 until Bayley makes the save. Bayley picks up the title and looks at it, Charlotte grabs it away...........AND BAYLEY SNAPS! She hits the Bayley to Belly looking confident. Regal comes out and books a Fatal 4-Way at TakeOver.

Backstage: Some interview guy asks Kevin on his thoughts on facing Sami at TakeOver, Kevin says he'll say what he has to say to Sami in person next week.

Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy vs. The Vaudevillians
goes for about 4 minutes, I'm pretty sure both teams are heels. VV has fallen off so hard from when they first came together that heel turn really fucked them, and them being exposed for being pretty rubbish didn't help either. The isolate Murphy for the majority working the back and stuff, Wes has a really good hot tag, it not thrilling or anything it's just solid. The match ends when the ref gets Gotch out of the ring and doesn't see Murphy kicking English from the floor allowing Wes to cover for the upset. *3/4

Backstage: Tyler Breeze is on his phone's camera. He says it's just a matter of time before your hero, Prince Pretty, becomes the NXT Champion. And then he can implement his plan of separating the world into super good looking people and uggo people.

Backstage: Blake and Murphy are talking, they say it wasn't an upset, 2015 is their year and they challenge the Lucha Dragons next week for the titles.

First Round Match in the #1 Contender's Tournament: Tyler Breeze vs. Hideo Itami
During Tyler's entrance for the 2nd week in a row, some guy is watching Tyler from afar, well last week his was up in the stands/background higher up area of the building. This week he's under the ramp. This gets a shit ton of time and is really good, Hideo offense is 97% kicks, so it's like once you've seen 3 or 4 you basically have seen them all which is a shame cause I know he has so much more to offer. Breeze is good in this, it's pretty obvious that creative really has nothing for him. So, he's slowly morphing into that putting new guys over role. He also losing momentum with the fans as a small "Tyler sucks" chant breaks out, he's not quite 2016/2017/2018 jobber status but his best days are clearly behind him in NXT. So I'm guessing he gets the call post Mania. Hideo comes back, and they move on to both guys getting some awesome near-falls in before Hideo hits a single leg dropkick off the ropes for the win. Poor Hideo both his moves get stolen and now he has to try to get a single legged dropkick and a swinging kick over. **1/4

NXT Episode 133
January 28th, 2015
Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida

NXT Tag Team Championships: Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy vs. Lucha Dragons
4 minutes, Blake&Murphy look great in this, again everything is crisp and good. This moron Alex Riley again says the most ridiculous thing ever when he says Blake is "THE MOST PUREST AND GIFTED ATHLETE" he's ever seen :lmao They have a-okay heat segment on Cara, Kalisto then has an awesome hot tag, he hits SDS on Murphy but didn't see Blake blind tag in and he rolls him up for the win. NEW CHAMPS! *3/4

Backstage: Bayley is getting ready for her match when Charlotte comes over, she says if Bayley pulls another stunt like she did last week, she will destroy her. Bayley says she's sorry, but it was an instinct thing. NO, SHE'S NOT SORRY! She says maybe she's been too nice. Sami Zayn went serious and now look at him. Regardless, they have to get along tonight. Charlotte says they WILL get along because if Bayley crosses the line again, she won't make it to the four-way.

First Round Match in the #1 Contender's Tournament: Adrian Neville vs. Tyson Kidd
Again this delivers, they have their usual sweet match exchange to start, Neville wins that battle, he then wins the battle of the speed, so TJ begins stalling to frustrate Neville and it works as he suckers him into the cat and mouse chase around the ring before kicking him into the rails and following up by slamming him into the steps. FUCK YEAH! TJ wants the cheap countout win but Neville rolls back in at 9. Decent control work by Kidd, it's not his most inspiring stuff, he just fills time until Neville makes a comeback. They go back and forth hitting big moves along with all their signature stuff for near-falls. Neville manages to outlast him and hit a big roundhouse kick before hitting the Red Arrow for the win. **1/2

After the match; Neville says both Baron and Bull are tough guys, and they can knock him down but he will keep getting back up and will once again show why he was the most dominant NXT champion of all time.

Backstage: Sahsa and Becky are talking to one of the camera guys, Sasha says they're not worried about being competitors, because, at Takeover, Becky will do the right thing and help her become NXT Women's Champion. Sasha leaves when Becky nods, and Becky then says she'll do the right thing, and she'll leave NXT Women's Champion!

Backstage: Blake and Murphy are celebrating their win, they say their door is always open for challengers anytime.

Charlotte & Bayley vs. Sasha Banks & Becky Lynch
This has 3 of my 4 favorite pairings in the women's division, but for some reason, theirs a ton of mishaps and fuckups. Team Bae isolate Bayley and it's a good time mainly because Sasha/Bayley has calmed down and can back to their goodness, Becky/Bayley is solid, but Becky is still the weak link and it pretty much treated like it. Charlotte's hot tag is better than the last time she was in a tag match, the match breaks down and Sasha hits the Bank Statement on Charlotte but when Bayley breaks it up she hits Charlotte on accident. Charlotte and Bayley begin fighting, so Becky and Sasha jump them for the No contest. Team Bae end up leaving and just allowing Bayley and Charlotte to continue to fight until refs pull them apart. *3/4

Backstage: Devin Taylor is with Finn Balor, she asks him about his match against Hideo next week. And Finn says they've been friends for a long time and always knew someday this would happen, but he didn't think how quickly it would happen. They've been friends for a long time, but for the title, it all goes out the window. Hideo Itami comes over and says he brought him to NXT, and if he has to, he'll take him out.

Backstage: Devin Taylor is with the returning Emma, She says things didn't quite work out the way she planned, but that's why she's back. And next week, she's back where it all began and it's time for a fresh start with a rematch against Carmella. Devin asks about the dance, and Emma stops her and says to let the Dancing Queen show her how it's done next week.

First Round Match in the #1 Contender's Tournament: Baron Corbin vs. Bull Dempsey
Same deal as the last, they go back and forth brawling. Corbin outlasts him doing it and ends it with the end of dayz.

Backstage: Devin Taylor is with Cobin, he says he takes one step closer to being NXT Champion, and Neville takes one step closer to being erased. Bull shows up and tries to say words to get a rematch, BUT BARON JUST FUCKING PIEFACES HIM IN MID SENTENCE AND WALKS OFF. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH! DEAD!

GM William Regal is in the ring for the contract signing, he brings out both challenger and champion.

Regal says he won't let this become like every other contract signing, so if anyone touches each other, he will cancel the match. Sami signs first, and Regal slides it across to Owens, who doesn't sign and Sami says he has a microphone, so he can stop looking at him and tell him why? No? Just stare at him then and act like the last 12 years didn't exist. Sami brings up them starting in Montreal, taking it all over the world, fighting with each other and against each other, and after all that time, maybe he should have seen it coming, but he didn't. The truth is that everything they did out there, friends or enemies, it was all about ending up here. He never thought that when they finally arrived, he'd do that, but it's moot now. At Takeover, he's gonna beat the hell out of him. Kevin addresses Regal instead and says this says NON-TITLE MATCH! Regardless of what Sami thinks, what he did at TakerOver wasn't personal. It was business, because he fights for prizes, and Sami isn't the prize. That title is the prize. It means more money, a better life for his family, so Mr. Regal if you want the match, he can have it but until this is for the title, he won't do it. Regal says he explained this quite clearly, and Sami tells Regal to make it a title match, he knows Kevin, and he won't do it without the title, and it's what the people want to see too. Regals adds it in with a note, Kevin then signs and throws the pen is Sami's face before leaving. Dope shit.
