NXT Woman's Championship: Alexa Bliss vs. Sasha Banks
Bliss goes for her flashy rollups to start looking for that quick win, some of the transitions look super sloppy tho. Sasha is Sasha so she's super aggressive, she pulls out the awesome bitchy heel spot where she stands on Bliss's hands just to pose and taunt her. Bliss is really bad here, as anticipating things before it happens so it doesn't come off natural and some of her flashy roll-ups don't fully connect. The match picks up once Bliss starts using her strikes and Banks starts backpedaling. Bliss's code Red gets two, she then tries the twisted bliss but Sasha grabs her arm and slams her off the top before locking in the Bank Statement for the win. **1/4
Backstage: Owens says he and Finn have a lot in common, they're both world class wrestlers. They've fought tooth and nail to get here and got here around the same time. The difference is that Finn made an impact by painting himself up like some sort of demon, while he decimated Sami Zayn and took this title in two months. To each his own, whatever works. He's looking forward to a fight tonight. He hopes he brings his demon, so he can show it won't matter. Nobody is taking this away from him or his family. Trust him.
In the woman's locker room, Emma comes over and says she hates to say she told her so, but she did. Bayley is confused, and Emma says she's being too nice. Headbands and hugs and she lost to Becky Lynch. She needs to bring the aggression and find it. Friend to friend, the NXT crowd will try and fool her. They did it to her. But they won't get her where she needs to be. Bayley says they're two different people. They're friends kinda and came from the same place sort of, but the NXT universe helped her get to where she is and gave her the opportunity. EMMA SLAPS HER DOWN TO THE GROUND AND WALKS OFF! FUCK YEAH!
Backstage: My BUSTY QUEEN IS BACK! She asks Tyler what's next, he says everyone saw him beat HIDEOUS Itami, so he wants his title shot now. Hideo comes up and says he beat him too and next week, he wants a best of three falls match. He leaves and Breeze yells that he never said yes.
DANA BROOK IS CUMING!
NXT will have a live show at WMA access and a show in San Jose.
Backstage: Devin Taylor is with Finn, Finn says he does his talking in the ring and heard what Owens has to say. As far as what he's said, he doesn't need the demon to beat Kevin Owens.
Finn Balor video package airs.
Backstage: Mella, Enzo, and Cass are talking when Blake and Murphy come over and apologize. She says they brought her something with their championship bonus money. Enzo plays it off as fakes, but Mella likes it. 23 year old me so thought Mella was turning on these losers.
NXT Championship: Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens
This gets 20 minutes, slow but solid feeling out process to start. Owens uses a lot of the same tactics he's been using since he's gotten here where he stalls a bunch and gets in when he's ready, has a brief control but once he feels the tide turning again he will roll out for another breather. Finn targets the arm for a bit, but it doesn't really go anywhere but at least Owens sold it for a bit amount of time before he takes over and enough time has passed to where he doesn't really need to sell it anymore. It turns into an Owens match now, where he can lock in a chinlock for an extended amount of time so he can trash talk him. Normally I love it, but this one feels like it's just filler for something to do. This is also raped by commercials with 4 of them. This picks up tho after the 2nd commercial with Owens hitting power moves, but also punishing Finn's back. But of course, he goes back to the chinlock for "HEAT" Finn has a nice comeback and hits the double stomp to the back for two. What's the difference between the double stomp and the CDG? is it because one is to the mid-section and one it to the back or head? if so that makes no sense. Finn hits all his signature spots for two counts, and these losers chant "Better than raw" god damn idiots. Finn injures his knee when going for the running dropkick, and Kevin targets it. But at least Finn sells these cause he didn't sell his back at all. Cool spot, Owens stands on the knee, before hitting the backsplash senton on it. He locks in the half Boston crab but Finn makes it to the ropes, Finn hits a desperation jumping double stomp cause he's kinda an idiot. But that also allows him to get the momentum back, but Owens chops the knee out again, he follows up with the Cannonball. HE THEN TIES THE LEG UP ON THE ROPES AND HITS ANOTHER CANNONBALL TO IT Finn rolls out of the way of the 3rd, and hits the running dropkicks. He also hits CDG but the knee is hurt and he can't follow up for the pin. So when he gets back to his feet Owens hits the pop-up powerbomb for the win. This is fine but has a lot of flaws. **1/2
