Looks like The Ascension worked the MSG Live Event last night, they had a match vs Los Matadores, and came out with Vickie Guerrero by their side.
They wore their NXT belts to the ring, and apparently the match was not entertaining at all but they came away with a victory. The match is being called a dud by numerous reviewers and doesn't seem to be getting anywhere above a 1.5 / 5 stars in anyone's eyes.

Iono perhaps not the right time to be calling them up, maybe let them get more exposure via the Network.

^ The show's results itself looked pretty entertaining except for the Batista/Cena vs Wyatt/Orton tag team match, that one ended a little messed up imo for how the current feuds are.

What source are you getting the terrible match info from? The article you linked said it was a good match. Just wondering out of curiosity.
After intermission The Ascension came out to face Los Matadores, most of the crowd wasn't into it because of the chaos from the intermission break so most people were drowned out for a bit, but the match was good with the Ascension getting the win. (Got to meet The Ascension outside the arena before the show started and they are some really cool guys, they stood with the fans outside the guarded railings and all and casually talked to fans, you learn to appreciate people like that who aren't assholes and just walk by you or give you a wave to shut you up).
They needed to face better workers to be honest... yes Epico and Primo (Los Matadores) were once tag champs and know how to work but, in my opinion, The Ascension vs The Rhodes Brothers would have been a better introduction. Hopefully when they debut on TV they get better opponents.

The reviewer said it was a good match there but he also said the crowd wasn't into it at all, but I mean to post other links too;

They refer to it as a dud.

Triple H made a rare live event appearance last night at MSG. He cut a promo before Kane vs. Daniel Bryan and talked about the great names who have headlined MSG before knocking Bryan. Triple H said Bryan will never main event MSG or WrestleMania and will never be WWE Champion. Bryan ended up beating Kane. After the match, Bryan challenged Triple H to a match. Triple H prepared to fight but Stephanie McMahon came out with reinforcements and stopped the match from happening. One of her reinforcements in a suit was none other than Finlay.

Looks like that was the string of events leading upto the Debut, so they put an intermission in between, that could've also potentially been why the crowd wasn't into it, because they just witnessed some intense stuff.

Offtopic: The main event results of that show confused me a little bit..

The MSG main event of Batista and John Cena vs. Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt ended when Batista hit a powerbomb on Cena and Wyatt hit Sister Abigail on Orton. Cena recovered to hit an Attitude Adjustment on Orton for the win after Wyatt and Batista had walked out.

The Ascension will be over when they come up to the main roster... this was simply terrible booking... I'll tell you why..

A. You place the match right after a Bryan/Kane/HHH match/segment... since a lot of WWE fans don't really watch NXT and most likely had very little knowledge of who they are how would they get into they get into the match?
B. They were wrestling Los Matadores.
C. They were accompanied by Vickie Guerrero.

When they come out by themselves, against better opponents, and at the beginning of a show then they will be better accepted by the fans.

True, Iono why you would try and follow up an epic midcard segment like that with a debut match, not the brightest thing they've ever done.


lol Why were Cena and Batista teamed? Didn't Batista just heel turn this past Friday? lol... terrible booking throughout this event it seems.
I have noo clue man, reading it I was so confused.. I would've done Orton/Cena vs Batista/Wyatt tbh if you were going that kind of weird route, but even then it's a bad booking with 3 heels and a face.


Imo the only booking I like about the event is the continuation of the subtle secret Kofi Kingston vs Damien Sandow feud, iono why I have to watch it on Main Event and Superstars or hear about it from house shows when they could easily put on a good Smackdown match.

She seems like she could go along well with Rybaxel tbh.
But definitely do not want her ruining the Ascension, that team has potential for sure.

Ascension with Vickie sounds Blue, so does them debuting after that HHH segment, but let's not forget that even thought it's at MSG it's still just a house show.
