Match 5: Finn Balor def. Tye Dillinger. Fantastic match and probably the best I’ve seen out of Dillinger in the ring yet. He is working a new gimmick where he comes out with a sign with the number 10 printed on it and saying that he is a “Perfect 10”. It’s fun and simple and just might work.
Match 6: Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady def. Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy and The Vaudevillains in a non-title three way match. Solid match and The Vaudevillains work so much better as fun babyfaces. It just suits them better. Enzo gets the win with the splash off the top rope.
Match 7: Sasha Banks def. Becky Lynch and Charlotte in a three way match. Fantastic stuff. These girls always deliver. Sasha gets with win when Charlotte hits Becky with Natural Selection, but Sasha throws her out of the ring and steals the pin.
Before the main event, Kevin Owens comes out and says that he is the main event. He says it doesn’t matter who the number 1 contender is, he will have the title for as long as feels like holding it. Sami comes out and says he can’t wait to kick Owens’ ass and regain his NXT title. Owens says Sami can’t hit him. Owens had knee surgery recently and hasn’t been cleared to compete, so if Sami hits him, there would be consequences. Owens says Sami should worry about who’s behind Sami as Scott dawson attacks from behind. This led to…
Match 8: Sami Zayn def. Scott Dawson to become the number 1 contender for the NXT championship. The end comes when Sami hits the exploder suplex in the corner on Dawson, Dash Wilder comes in to try and help, gets suplexed into Dawson, and Sami hits the Helluva Kick for the pin. Really fantastic stuff out of these two. dawason is such and underutilized talent and I’m glad he got a chance to shine. There were a lot of near falls and quality wrestling. After the match, Sami shook Dawson’s hand and put him over.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
