Kinda saw that coming but that powerbomb was pretty sick. You have to REALLY trust the other guy to take that to the neck/back.

Everything about the main event up until the end of the show was fucking perfect. From the entire match, to Sami and Kevin hugging, to the turn... so fucking beautiful.
I would almost love for them to run an angle where Sami is now "injured" and has to vacate the title... When he heals they move him to Raw, only for several weeks later Kevin Owens to show up there after him too. |

I love NXT so much. Seriously. Obviously it's these guys and gals' goal to get to Raw but jesus, I want everyone to stay on NXT. Even if the best NXT talents got called up I'd love it if they still got to work the NXT tapings and specials kinda like how Tyson Kidd does. I don't want anyone to leave.

How is the "minor league" show they show on the network leaps and bounds ahead of the main roster show they air on primetime television?
Vince and the writers really need to get their shit together on the main roster, but they won't |

Here's what really gets me...Owens waited. All of the babyfaces were in the ring, so Owens played up their history, stood around with the other good guys, raised his old pal's hand, knowing full well what he was going to do at the end. He stuck around after everyone else, and no one would think this was strange given what's happened before. THEN AND ONLY THEN, when all the other good guys were gone, Owens attacked.
That's good writing. If this had happened on Raw, Owens would've attacked Zayn immediately and all of the babyfaces would've stood around making pouty faces. Owens was on NXT, where everything makes sense and good guys actually like each other rather than behaving in thrall to John Cena, so he couldn't just attack whenever he wanted. He WAITED. And it completely turns the "babyface champion tearfully celebrates with belt" trope on its ear. Just beautiful. |

Another thing. At the end of the day, Sami could never be the "bad guy." Neville was still his friend, he didn't want to cheat, didn't want to hit him with the belt, etc.
Now we get to see Sami really hate someone, really go all out, and throw the nice guy to the back of the bus for a bit. |

Crowd went "Thank you, Neville" during the replay at the end. Should have gone "Sorry, Neville" if he is indeed going to main roster anonymity

If he's going to the main roster then he's going to do great. He doesn't have an annoying as hell gimmick that can cool off.

Ambrose was never on NXT, Roman Reigns had a few weeks of a rich aristocrat gimmick. Shield was not NXT at all. I will give you the Wyatt family though. Anyway let's see how things go. HHH did seem very high on Neville but as we saw it all comes down to Vince.

Shield was on NXT alot after they debuted at Survivor Series. They wanted to take over both WWE and NXT. They left though because taking over WWE was too important.

People who have failed on WWE from NXT (Dallas, Emma, Rose) had kinda dumb gimmicks. Bo Dallas might not be a fail yet. Neville doesn't have a gimmick so he should be good.

Oh man I am so glad I watched this show. As usual, the NXT Specials outshine the WWE PPV's, yet again.
From top to bottom, one of the best shows in recent memory. Owen's broken and bloody nose made his debut extremely memorable. The tag match was really solid and yeah, Balor did the best entrance I think I've ever seen, fucking amazing. Jeff Hardy eat your heart out. Charlotte Flair is a fucking inspiration to womens wrestling. Sami Zayn is just too good to be true. He's like if Seth Rogan was a really fucking awesome wrestler. That match was great, especially on Sami's part. The turn at the end with Owen's was just perfect. I didn't see it coming and it's just unreal how awesome NXT is compared to Raw, unfuckingreal. |

Hell of an ending. I almost turned it off, because I was watching it after the initial airing because OF GOD DAMNED TRAFFIC. I figured it was over, just going to be a lot of confetti and shit.
I'm glad I stuck it out. Kevin Owens is a Grade A murderer. |

Never watched NXT more than a few minutes here or there. Until tonight.
I just watched this whole show. I'm in love. Can the NXT writers be promoted to the main roster? |
