Said it before, I'll say it again; Sami Zayn sells better than anyone.

Another phenomenal event. I think the women's match was my favorite of the night?

I'm having a hard time deciding between the women's 4-way and the main event. Both were just genuinely amazing displays by everyone involved. I might be the only one to say this but I think my favorite move of the entire night was Sasha Banks doing that double-stacker knee drop in the corner on Charlotte and Becky. That got a good solid "oh **** that was dope" from me.

Also, this was in the comments of Stroud's "Best/Worst" article and I agree with it 10000%

"Sami’s sad slow roll to kick out at two because he has to keep the belt but is basically a corpse is one of those little storytelling things that is lost on so many in the business."

That little action told so much of the story of that character. It's stuff like that that makes me fall more in love with NXT every time they have one of these.

NXT is just an unstoppable bulldozer right now. The last 3 matches of the night were absolutely fantastic.

It's kinda like when he fought Cesaro a year ago and after one of those uppercuts from Cesaro he kicks out at one and then Cesaro is all like "f*ck that!" And finishes him

Taz really put over last night's event big time. He did a "react" podcast after watching and was very complimentary of the product, which is nice to hear because it seems like he's always so negative about everything on twitter (aside from TNA stuff of course).

The 4-way was my second favorite match, behind Balor-Neville.

If you guys haven't checked out any spoilers from today's NXT tapings, there are a couple of interesting appearances. One of them makes a ton of sense, the other not so much.

The Main Event was booked brilliantly. So much left open.

Finn's entrance makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I'm pretty excited to see
Spoiler:
THE Brian Kendrick
back. Not so sure about
Spoiler:
Rhyno
though.
Spoiler:
Could be cool as long as they're not giving him a push and are just using him as an enhancement guy to make one of the young guys look strong.


Also, I haven't read anything yet but I would think Solomon Crowe has to be appearing soon. They've been teasing his return for weeks now.

This was maybe my favorite NXT special so far. Balor/Neville and the Divas Title match were among the best matches I've seen in recent memory, the main event not as much on the wrestling side with how one sided it was but it was entertaining and did its job of making Owens look like a **** beast.

Going to have to watch the #1 contenders and divas match again real soon, I was so happy for Sasha!

What are you guys favorite NXT shirts?

My favorite may be Finn's where he is wearing the face paint but I also like Corbin's and Owens shirts.

I'm surprised Sasha Banks is not on the main roster yet imo she's the best all around Diva on the roster with a close 2nd
to Natalya.

Also Adrian Neville is more than ready to be called up but I'm guessing the hold up is his mic skills as he's got some
deformed English accent.

2 months ago they ran a special on the NXT shirts, I think they ended up costing like $15 per w/ free shipping. I picked up the Kevin Owens and Balor shirt, I think I like the KO shirt the best. The writing on it feels like actual duct tape. I'm probably going to order the new Balor shirt, I really like that one.
