SAMI SAYN vs. ANTONIO CESARO- 6.75/10
A great opener with some great spots. Cesaro was frickin' vicious here and Zayn just kept kicking out, no matter how hard he got uppercutted in the face.
WWE needs to call Sami Zayn up to the main roster immediately. He hasn't even been on NXT for a month and he is already over like a masked luchador at Tijuana orphanage.
BARON CORBIN & TRAVIS TYLER vs. SCOTT DAWSON & GARRETT DYLAN (w/Sylvester Lefort)- squash
For those who are wondering, Baron Corbin is former Arizona Cardinal Tom Pestock, not redheaded indy worker Darrin Corbin
NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND MATCH: Bailey vs. Alicia Fox- no rating.
Alicia Fox is a former WWE Divas Champion. Why the hell is she in this tournament? Anyway, this was pretty much a squash, but Bailey got to get her character over a bit, too.
NXT TITLE MATCH: Big E. Langston(c) vs. Bo Dallas- 5.5/10
Way too short for someone like Big E. to lose. The finish was lame, and Bo's lack of charisma showed through.
An okay episode of NXT with a disappointing main event.
