BRM Reviews the 9/7/2016 NXT

[Big Red Machine]

TM61 vs. TONY NESE & ARIYA DAIVRI- 6/10

ASUKA INTERVIEW- This wasn’t bad or anything, but I don’t think Asuka should be talking at all. It takes something away from her mystique. She should be doing her creepy laugh when called for, and nothing else.

EMBER MOON POSES OUTSIDE LIKE NINJA- AWESOME!

STEVE CUTLER PROMO- bad words, good delivery.

EMBER MOON vs. LEAH VON- 2/10
“Leah Von?” Could they not fit “Dutch” on their big fancy WWE graphics?
This was a good showcase for Ember Moon.

NO WAY JOSE PROMO- I can see some people hating this, but I loved it.

REVIVAL VIDEO PACKAGE- good, but kind of unnecessary. I’d have rather seen an extra minute of the opener.

CIAMPA, GARGANO & THE TRAINER- good stuff. They’re going to have a tag team match on next week’s Cruiserweight Classic live finale.

AUSTIN ARIES vs. ANDRADE “CIEN” ALMAS- 8/10
Hopefully the strong showing in this loss will do something for Almas, but I think he’s going to need a big win at some point before he can be taken seriously as anything more than a jobber to the stars after how often he has been used as a stepping stone recently.

Bobby Roode vs. No Way Jose next week

SHINSUKE NAKAMURA vs. STEVE CUTLER- 5/10
Samoa Joe is doing guest commentary.

Good show from NXT
