NXT Unstoppable (Cherry-Picked)

No. 1 Cont. for NXT Championship: Tyler Breeze vs. Finn Balor

Well, this sucked, Finn Balor was awful and Breeze is a much better wrestler but just couldn’t save the match. The match was so cold, tame and edgeless. Balor’s entrance theme is also the WOAT.

NXT Women’s Championship: Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks ©

Incredible match and I’m quite damn shocked! Or maybe I shouldn’t be, because Sasha is fabulous and here match with Charlotte Flair was outstanding, but I’ve never seen or heard of Becky Lynch before, and it fucking turns out she’s right up there with Sasha, maybe even better at some areas! Fucking WOW! This was just beautiful, both girls focused on each other’s arm and it was both brutal and gracious at the same time, felt like a groovy mix of Yuki Ishikawa and Virus. Both chicks sold super and the pacing was tremendous, not to mention the amazing finish. I fucking loved this, hands down the best all things WWE match of the year, yes – even better than Reigns/Bryan from Fastlane.

P.S. And holy shit, is that Drake Younger refereeing the match? Huh…

****3/4

NXT Championship: Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens ©

Great little brawl with Zayn looking for shortcuts and relying on bomb-throwing since his arm is injured and he can’t work a long match, that’s some good planning and strategy. I really liked this, the brawling portions were intense and well done, the in-ring stuff was vivid, the only flaw is kind of messy finish with all the refs looking like retards and the official call was never made. Samoa Joe made his debut and a potential match with Steen is the first Joe match I’m looking forward to since… uh… 2011? I don’t know anymore. Needless to say, the announcers were fucking HORRIBLE at calling his debut.
