It’s going to be an interesting night. I am not sure that any belts will change hands but it should be a good show. I would think stars want to do well with the draft starting on Smackdown this coming Friday.
NXT first show in the Capitol Wrestling Center. This is the NXT version of the Thunderdome.
**I did read a rumor that a possible storyline between Kyle/Adam concerning the Undisputed Era.
Rhea Ripley has made it known to Triple H that she wants whoever walks out of NXT tonight with the Women’s Belt.
Damien Priest was unhappy how the mixed tag match ended, In talking to Mr Regal, his match with Johnny Gargano will kick off the show.
I think the match of the night will be Isaiah “Swerve”Scott facing Santos Escobar. At least I’m hoping it’s allowed to play out without interference from the outside.
**MAIN SHOW** Beth Phoenix/Wade Barrett on the Announcers Desk
Damien Priest facing Johnny Gargano for the North American Title. Damien has had enough of Johnny and is going to work. Damien can take a beating but you can see when he flips that switch and has had enough. Razor’s edge on the apron. Even with a low blow, Damien still kicked out. Johnny tried a distraction at ringside. What a hell of a match with Damien keeping the title. (this was a great match to open with, it was better than I expected)
Kushida facing Velveteen Dream — These guys are trying to kill each other. It’s been another great match, each has had their time featured in the match, they are pushing each other past their limits. Kushida holding Velveteen in an armbar, Velvet finally had to tap out (armbar submission – not sure how much damage Kushida did during the match to that arm, even after winning Kushida went back to try and cause more damage)
**October 28th is Halloween Havoc in NXT
Cruiserweight title in on the line with Swerve Scott who has Santos Escobar number. Both times the belt has been up , Santo has manage to cheat to keep it. (I told you so, there are the numbers advantage.) Holy Crap, Swerve just kicked out of his patton pin. Even with help with numbers Santos still manages to keep the belt. (so far its my pick for match of the night)
It’s The Women’s title match with Candace LaRue facing Io Shirai. It’s not going to be pretty, Io can play as dirty as Candace. Candace can get a little too confident and I have seen it backfire on her. Candace had controlled most of the match but Io has fought her way back in this. Johnny and Candace have tried everything and nothing has worked. The girls gave an amazing match but it was not meant to be for Johnny or Candace (as they leave empty-handed) Even trying to take out the ref, Johnny putting on a ref’s shirt. Toni Storm just announced her return to NXT.
HOLY COW — There was a motorcycle rider on screen, it pulled up to a door and walked in the Center. Standing at the top of the run, they took off their helmet and it was Ember Moon who has announced her return to NXT
Main Event — Kyle O’riley facing Finn Balor. I really can’t see why they would take the belt of Finn, just put it on him. My money is on Finn, he has the experience, everything you need in a title match defence. Kyle made a mistake and now Finn is in control. It’s been a war, to say the least, but Kyle is injured, spitting up blood from something that has happened. Kyle and Finn are going to leave it all in the ring. These two are completely exhausted. I do not know how but Finn will walk out with the win. I have to give props to Kyle for one hell of a match.
Finn helped Kyle up, showing match respect. Tristan Rogers came out with Adam Cole over his shoulder. Adam had taken a beating.
