Charlotte pins Alexa Bliss in 2:19
Not much of a match. It was just a way to make Charlotte look strong heading into NXT Takeover II.
There was a confrontation between Bayley and Charlotte after the match with the Babyface vs. Heel dynamic taking place. Bayley extended her hand in sportsmanship Charlotte rejected it with a failed attack on Bayley. The bit ended with Bayley hitting her Bayley-to-belly signature.
In a backstage segment, Sin Cara and Kalisto were interviewed about the tag team tournament finals. Kalisto was playing translator to Sin Cara’s comments. They pretty much said that they will win out to become NXT Tag Team Champions.
Tyler Breeze pins Tye Dillinger in about 2:47
Another short squash putting over someone in a championship match at Takeover II. Not much to add here.
Backstage, Tyson Kidd gave us one hell of a promo about the fatal four way at Takeover II. This is a short and to the point promo. He put over his opponents, and put himself over even more. I recommend watching this. Great work!
Tyson Kidd pinned Adam Rose in about 4:08
This was a decent match for the time. In the end, it’s just another contender being put over. It was good for the time.
In the back, the Vaudevillians gave their thoughts about their tag team finals match later in the show. It’s obvious what they would have said about the manner.
Sami Zayn tapped out Marcus Louis in roughly 2:58
Rinse and repeat for the contenders looking strong.
Adrian Neville pinned CJ Parker in about 3:01
Champ looks strong in a go home show. Nothing much to add.
Sin Cara and Kalisto defeats the VaudeVillians in about 5:22
These teams could put on a phenomenal 15 minute match with ease. They are reduced to just over 5 minutes. This is a shame. They could have cut out many of the unnecessary squashes from earlier in the show, and given these teams plenty of time to “Wow” us, but they didn’t. It is still too early to tell if the right team won here or not.
Overall, this was an average go home show. The last I checked, WWE is synonymous with average go home show so I am not surprised. More time should have been given to the #1 Contender’s Tag Team match. The high quantity of squashes were completely unnecessary. However, I will end this on a positive note. Tyson Kidd put on an excellent promo so that is a good watch. Other than that, this was a skippable edition of NXT.
Final Grade: 4.5/10
