NXT Tag Team Champions The Ascension vs. Kalisto & El Locale

NXT Women's Championship Tournament Finals: Charlotte vs. Natalya

Number 1 Contenders Match: Sami Zayn vs. Tyler Breeze

Adam Rose vs. Camacho

​

Now I'm not sure what's happened yet as I've not been keeping up with NXT like I should be. But I know a Tournament for the NXT Women's Title is going on, and I know that Adrian Neville is defending the title, I could look up Spoilers to see who was fighting at the shows, but I'm not sure it's been announced on TV yet. Once I figure all that out and know what matches have been announced so far on the show, I will update this. I just wanted to get it up in plenty of time.

I've seen the spoilers, decent looking show but the card ain't a touch on Arrival

 

[Castiel]

Honestly, I only watched the Zayn/Cesaro match from Arrival. Anyone want to post the confirmed matches in a spoiler tag or something?

 

[Postman Dave]

from what I remember.....

Spoiler

* NXT Title Match: Adrian Neville vs. Tyson Kidd
* NXT Women’s Title Match: Natalya vs. Charlotte
* #1 Contender’s Match: Sami Zayn vs. Tyler Breeze

That's all that's "confirmed", although I could probably guess one or two others based on the booking,

 

[Postman Dave]

First two matches confirmed, both title contests.

Card for tonight's show is final, pre-show set to feature Renee Young, Christian, Paul Heyman & Cesaro.

Who's watching?

Not sure if I'll be watching live but I'll definitely be seeing the show before the weekend.

I didn't watch the show but I saw this fantastic reversal.

Caught this last night and I have to say that I was really impressed. Some quick thoughts...

- Adam Rose can suck it, but at least he's putting his all into the gimmick. Now if he could just learn how to wrestle he may have something.
- You've got Kalisto and you barely use him, instead letting El Local botch some moves (not entirely his fault)? Makes me wonder if Kalisto is nursing an injury.
- Holy shit, Zayn is amazing and Breeze brought his A+ game last night. Great match, great finish and I can't wait to see what's next for both guys. Breeze/Neville could be pretty damn sweet.
- Rusev can also suck it, but Mojo getting annihilated made me like him (almost) for a bit. Lana's hot.
- Women's match was one of the best I've seen in recent memory and the post-match moment was fantastic. In a night with Breeze/Zayn and Neville/Kidd on the card, I'm shocked to say that it was my MOTN.
- Main was great as well, Neville can really bring it and Kidd is a great opponent. Interested to see heel Tyson and what he'll do with the character.

Overall, totally solid show and I think just a bit better than the first special. Plus, HHH announcing these are going to be quarterly is just too awesome.

Just watched Zayn/Breeze & Charlotte/Natalya, both great matches.

Sara Del Rey cannot get enough credit for her work with the Divas. I mean, Charlotte's been doing this less than 2 years? And she's already had a better match than most of the main roster Divas. I know she's got genetics on her side and all, but both of the best Divas matches this year have both been from NXT specials and involved 4 different women.
