Bate vs. Gallagher - 3 Stars Minimum - SRC WWE.COM

NXT is supposed to be a developmental arena, and it is, but some of these shows are so much better than Smackdown and Raw. With that in mind, here is what went down on this week’s NXT showcase.

WWE NXT April 26, 2017 Review

The show opened up with Nikki Cross and Ruby Riot fighting, and then getting separated. Then we went into some interesting matches.

Drew McIntyre defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas

Andrade “Cien” Almas was buried in this match. Drew beat him in a fast paced, hard hitting match that was just unfortunate for Almas. But then again, after the match, he got into a limo full of women, and they probably had a porno style romp. Man, I wish I was good looking.

Aleister Black defeated Kona Reeves

Kona Reeves put in some good offense against Black, and after Black got mad, he knocked his opponent out. And that was that.

Nikki Cross vs. Ruby Riot

This turned into a brawl, and should lead to a street fight or something. This is a great showcase for both, with is great. The two brawled around the arena.
Tyler Bate defeated Jack Gallagher

Strong style was on display here. A little slow to start, but Bate would eventually win big. Gallagher put on a good fight, and he definitely stretched Bate. I was absolutely stunned by how it turned out. Bate got worked in this one, but it was his overall strong style that would get the better of Gallagher. Gallagher is on a serious downward spiral of losses.

Ohno Can Go! Great Stuff - SRC WWE.COM

NXT is all wrestling, and few promo elements. There are some, but within the course of an hour, a lot of action goes through, and tonight, we had a lot of action, at least in the main event that is.

WWE NXT March 16, 2017 Review

The Authors of Pain defeated The Ealy Brothers

This night opened up with a challenge, and that challenge was answered. I didn’t think the Ealy Brothers could win and well…they didn’t.

Nikki Cross defeated Macey Estrella

Nikki Cross is a hot commodity. She’s also very cute, and well, crazy. She beat the snot out of Macey Estrella, and I thought she was going to get disqualified after hitting her finisher more than 4 times in a row. She got the pinfall, and that was that.

Post match, No Way Jose and Tye Dillinger came out to try and beat up Sanity, but that was thwarted and they beat everyone down. I guess this will set up a match for NXT Takeover Orlando.

Asuka Promo

They ran an Asuka promo which was really cool. However, she can’t speak English. She can’t go very far in the United States without that element. I hope she’s working on her ESL because if she gets called up, she will get eaten alive by the talkers on the main stage, I’m sorry.

Bobby Roode defeated Kassius Ohno (NXT Championship Match)

The main event featured Kassius Ohno’s title shot for the NXT Championship. This is how you book a main event title match. Roode was baffled by Ohno’s offense. He was hitting on all cylinders, and while Roode had a few shots, Ohno was getting over huge here. Everything he threw at Roode was a haymaker, including the finale, but alas, one slip up and Roode hit the incredible DDT and that was that. Ohno loses, but with a valiant effort and a stellar match for the title.

Overall, NXT is a no nonsense wrestling program that you should check out. I loved it. You will love it, most likely. The title match alone is worth checking out this week.
