WWE NXT 5/4/2016 Results and Review The Eric Young Debut
As I start to build this blog once again, I am going to be reviewing as much wrestling as I can, so here we go, a review of this week’s NXT showcase. This day is huge because it’s the first time that Samoa Joe shows up for NXT. Eric Young showed up to challenge Samoa Joe for the belt, and business was about to pick up. The reaction for Eric Young was really good, as well as for Joe, and it’s nice to see Young get a show at the big time here in NXT, and hopefully he does sign. Although, at press time, I read that he has not signed a deal with WWE, so we’ll see how it all pans out.
NIA Jax defeated Tessa Blanchard
I literally turned around for a second and this match was over. NIA Jax wins this squash match, simple as that. Hopefully Blanchard gets more offense next time. This was a waste of time in my view.
Austin Aries defeated Tye Dillinger
I admit, I don’t know a lot about Austin Aries. I did see some Tye Dillinger matches in the past, but nothing too memorable. This was a quick match, but it was Tye Dillinger most of the match. Dillinger is the perfect 10, as they say, and he is crisp in the ring. He put on some great moves, but Aries won after a 450 splash from the top. I am not that impressed with these guys, but you know what, it was short, sweet, and to the point. Not bad, but not great either.
The Revival defeated The Hype Bros
This match was fast, and the Revival were crisp here. The Hype Bros were nothing more than jobbers here, getting bounced around the ring. I’ve seen better. This wasn’t great. The Revival are good, not sure why they aren’t on the main roster right now.
No Way Jose defeated Noah Potjes
This was a fun match. No Way Jose is a salsa dancing, DJ (Street Fighter 3) looking dude a bit. He won in a short, jobber type match.
Samoa Joe defeated Eric Young in a non-title match
This was a cool match, just very short. Joe didn’t dominate, but eventually won after hitting the Muscle Buster and getting his chokehold on. Eric Young could very well make moves if the WWE picks him up, but as for this night, he was another victim to Samoa Joe. Good match overall, nothing crazy, standard back and forth, and it was nice to see Eric Young in the big leagues.
Overall rating: 6 out of 10
NXT needs to do a lot more for me to be impressed. I like their bigger shows. Next week, however, Alex Riley will face off against Nakamura. That should be great.
