Another week, another episode of NXT.
Here are my thoughts:
Bray vs Neville was an okay match considering the length and what went on. It was a short affair but commentary set it up well, recapping the feud and how every member of the segment fit together. It also helped set up the main event.
Sami Zayn vs Angelo Dawkins was an okay match. Dawkins has little wrestling experience but Zayn makes up for that and it was just a short squash to set Zayn up for the eventual rematch with Cesaro. Dawkins showed that he is athletic so with more ring experience he might be okay.
Summer vs Sasha was a good divas match as part of the title tournament. Both women played their parts well, Summer as the arrogant heel and Sasha as the never say die babyface. Very athletic divas match. Summer's got a new finisher as well which is good, she had a problem hitting her old one and this one showcases her long legs. Right diva went over.
Xavier Woods cuts a promo before his match with Jake Carter. I liked Woods before this since he seems like a charismatic guy who is good in the ring. But I love him after all the pop culture references in his promo and character, we saw 90's & 80's music references, the simpsons and multiple Power Rangers references.
The match was also good but short, a typical squash to put Woods over. Hopefully we will see more of him now.
Backstage interview with Zayn talking about wanting a rematch with Cesaro. Good promo, he puts the feud and his opponent over. Sets up the rubber match well and sells the animosity.
Backstager with Dusty and the Roughnecks. I like this team and I like the manager. Them getting more screen time is good, especially since the Family is main roster bound. Smart of NXT to restock on characters. Next weeks tag #1 contenders match should be good as well.
There's a short vignette for Kruger as well as they look to re insert the big game hunter/mercenary. I love this character. Kruger has it down to a T and he sells it well. Looking forward to seeing him back.
Bo cuts a promo in his car on the way back from Disney world. His "heel who thinks he's a face" character is working wonders for him. Best promo he's ever cut. Not often I have heels I want to see beat up.
Good main event six man tag between the family and Ohno, Graves & Neville. Both teams came up strong and every wrestler was showcased. The right team went over as well to establish further dominance.
Not the most eventful episode but still good quality. Seeds were planted for the future with reintroduction or introduction of new characters and feuds were continued.
Another good round of NXT all in all.
