7/24 WWE NXT Results: Neville vs. Rusev, Charlotte Defends Women’s Title Against Summer Rae, Kalisto Teams w/ Sin Cara

 Tyler Breeze def. Mojo Rawley

This match lasts about 20 seconds. Tyler plays up his finger injury, then hits his finisher out of nowhere. 

KILLAM: Good thing they built up Mojo with squash matches for months, to get jobbed out to the light version of Shannon Moore in half a minute. Not even interference from a potential opponent to build towards something – just a straight-up squash match. There goes any credibility he had. 

NXT Women’s Championship Match

Charlotte (c) vs. Summer Rae

Summer does some dancing and ends up getting caught with elbows from Charlotte, who then locks in the Figure Four headlock. She transitions it into a body…stomp… (there is no technical term for it), and goes back into the hold as we go to a break. Summer breaks the hold as they come back, and tosses the champ to the outside, taking a few minutes to rest up. Summer gets a reverse scissors hold on Charlotte, which she transitions into a pinning combination for a nearfall. Next she goes into a half grab, then grabs the face making it almost an inverted surfboard stretch, then stomps her head into the mat for another close two-count. Both ladies get to their feet slowly and end up colliding with simultaneous clotheslines. Charlotte is up first and comes off the ropes, but Summer catches her with a spinning heel kick. The champ fights back with right hands and a short-arm clothesline, but can’t pick up the pin. Charlotte ends up hitting her finisher – Bow Down to the Queen – for the win. 

Winner: Charlotte 

KILLAM: Leave it to the Divas to carry this show. I was super down on this broadcast up until this point, and they provided a breath of fresh air. A solid match that was surprisingly based on submissions from beginning to end, featuring Summer carrying like 80% of the action. Probably a good way to write her off back to the main roster in the next month or so, as they’ve done with Paige and Emma.
