Anyone else hate the new intro theme music to NXT from who I assume is Poppy?
Kyle O’Reilly coming out looking healthy when he was just carted into a hospital two weeks ago, what’s up with that?
I really don’t like Kyle’s face promos as they just seem like it’s not coming from a star and just that dude in your friend group that you all think should be a comedian but shouldn’t be.
Kyle asks if he should go after the North American Title or the NXT Title before making it known he is going after Kross.

The Way has to get involved in this one to try and get Indi Hartwell back, right?
Pushing Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis as a legit relationship is like saying Joker and Harley are a good couple.
Amazing back drop from Lumis that leads to LA Knight crotching himself into the ringpost trying to get away from the slithering Lumis.
Back from commercial with Lumis making his comeback and getting a two count after hitting a beautiful Springing Suplex that would make Tully Blanchard proud.

Grizzled Young Veterans sent to the outside by Brezzango to start this one off.
Back from commercial with Drake huring his knee coming off the top with the referee checking on him.
With the referee distracted, Gibson pokes the eye of Fandango and that is the magic cure for Drake’s knee to heal.
Don’t know where Fandango went. Ticket to Mayhem by Grizzled Young Veterans and Gibson gets the pinfall victory on Breeze.

ZOEY STARK VS. SARRAY
I don’t have much faith in Zoey Stark picking up the win in this one against the debuting Sarray but I’ve been wrong with the booking of Stark in the past.
Sarray has an interesting music mix of poppy and rock music but her actual entrance is VERY Joshi and NOT VERY WWE at all.
Seeing a LOT of the personality of Sarray coming out in the ring, she just needs to show more of it in her entrance.
Sarray has my favourite submission move in her moveset, aka the Muta Lock.
Pretty even match so far with Zoey Stark going to come out of this likely loss still looking strong.
Nice looking series of Drop kicks to Stark from Sarray. Stiff looking moves likely thanks to the ropes adding to the effect.
Zoey Stark got a very close two count on Sarray. Sarray looking smart but not the biggest threat by having Stark look so strong.
Sarray lands on her feet and hits a series of moves ending with a suplex to get the pinfall victory in a surprise fashion.
Post match, Sarray and Stark show respect with a hug and Zoey holds up Sarray’s arm before Toni Storm attacks Zoey Stark on her way to the back.

KUSHIDA VS. ONEY LORCAN – NXT CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OPEN CHALLENGE MATCH
Kushida has a microphone to the shock of me and he is saying he is giving the same opportunity that he got last week.
Oney Lorcan is answering the challenge in what is going to be a very obvious result.
Kushida has it pointed out by the commentators that he is not wearing boots and just has taped up feet to further the change of his character away from Marty McFly rip off.
Kushida can really get that Hoverboard Lock on out of nowhere but Lorcan makes it to the ropes.
Heading to a commercial after Kushida sends Lorcan off the top turnbuckle falling to the outside.
Back from commercial, Kushida is making a comeback as Lorcan took control of the match during the commercial break.
Kushida really selling that Knee to the gut from Lorcan like he is Heath Slater and got a Hernia.
Nice stomp by Kushida to the arm of Lorcan to set up for the Arm Bar.
Blockbuster from Lorcan to Kushida but only gets a two count on this one but still a close two count.
How is Kushida taking those hard chops from Lorcan? His chest is clearly redder than an Apple at this point.
Hoverboard Lock gets locked on by Kushida and he gets the submission victory to retain the championship.

Picture in Picture video promo with Imperium letting us know the expansion will continue.
Aichner taking it right to Ever-Rise as they are going to be lucky to get much offense in. This is clearly going to be a story of putting over Imperium as a team to be reckoned with.
Killian Dain has come out leading to a distraction that Ever Rise almost got the win.
Maverick comes out but carried to the back by Dain to keep him away from Wolfe.
Imperium hit the doomsday device variation to get the pinfall victory.
Stare down between Kyle O’Reilly and the combination of Scarlett and Karrion Kross who were waiting at the go position for him. Kyle is not intimidated.
KYLE O’REILLY VS. CAMERON GRIMES
Getting a recap of how the main event came about with Kyle Punching Grimes in the ring to start the show.
I have to say that Cameron Grimes is likely the best character in NXT right now.
Why are all these “cool guy” moves that Kyle O’Reilly is doing more Heel Cool and not Face Cool?
Loved the counter by Grimes to flip back and then suplex Kyle out of the ring as we head to, hopefully, our last commercial break of the night.
Back with Grimes working over the neck of Kyle which is likely going to be a target of wrestlers until creative forget about it.
Kyle has made his comeback leading to Grimes having to get to the ropes to break the arm bar attempts from Kyle.
Spinning Uranagi Variation from Cameron Grimes was really impressive and could be an interesting finisher in the future if protected.
Grimes almost gets the three by hitting his spinning slam counter as Kyle was running the ropes.
Grimes looking for the Cave In but Kyle is avoiding and countering it but Grimes can’t do the same for slingshot clothesline.
Brainbuster from Kyle O’Reilly before going to the top and hitting the diving knee to the back of Grimes to get the pinfall victory.
