  • NXT Dublin, Ireland, live results: Nakamura vs. Bobby Roode; Samoa Joe vs. Finn Balor

    Submitted by Robert O’Sullivan

    – Tye Dillinger v Hugo Knox 

    Local crowd promo before match. Great reaction to Tye. Mid promo, it turned into cheap heel ‘your sports team sucks’ promo, but crowd still loved him. Knox wins with split legged moonsault. Knox looked very green, but is massive with a great look and moves incredibly well.

    – Wesley Blake v Andrade Cien Almas

    Blake’s ring gear is a weird combination of Bayley and Ultimate Warrior. Crowd more into mocking Blake than the actual match, though liked Andrade’s flashy offence. Andrade wins with double knees in the corner.

    – Goldberg video game ad plays on the screen. Fans notice that Drake Younger is the referee.

    – Sawyer Fulton & Alexander Wolfe v American Alpha

    Mad Max style gimmick for the former. Couldn’t believe it was actually Fulton. Alpha are massively over, with the ‘no limit’ & ‘angle theme’ chants before the bell. Chad Gable may be the best pro wrestler I have ever seen. Just so quick,
    so smooth in his movements. Seemed even quicker on this house show than he did on television. USA Chant for Alpha in Dublin. That’s how over they were. Alpha win with Grand Amplitude.

    The Revival run in afterwards, cut a promo, tease a title match then go to leave. Dash Wilder tries to ambush Alpha, is caught, get him in double ankle lock (each man had an ankle). Heels run to the back.

    – No Way Jose v Austin Aries

    Aries; ribs still taped. Crowd split on who to like. Aries was as good as he has been in the last few years, seems to have settled into NXT finally. Brief dance off spot to Jose’s music, Aries interrupts & ambushes Jose but gets massive cheers and ‘Thank you Aries’ chants. Any attempts to turn the crowd fail. Aries in control most of the match. Jose does his closing sequence (baseball swings, bulldog etc) for a near fall. No Way Jose wins with schoolboy roll up after Aries missed his discus elbow finish.

    – Ad for Mania 33 on the big screen. Described Orlando as a “magical place where anything can happen”. Seemed weird they would play that promo so close to the shooting.

    – NXT Women’s Champion Asuka v Peyton Royce

    Asuka’s gonna kill you chant. Back and forth match. Asuka does her hip attack then pose sequence early. Peyton still a little rough but has improved immensely. Asuka is much better against someone her own size. Asuka wins with crossface chicken wing. 

    – Bobby Roode v Shinsuke Nakamura 

    Roode had generic theme & Titantron still. Great reaction for Roode, and there’s no other way to put this, lose their sh*t for Nakamura. ‘Holy sh*t’ and ‘this is awesome’ chants for the entrance alone. F*ck TNA chants. Crowd behind Roode as well, but Nakamura clearly the favourite. Beer Money chants throughout the match. Near fall with the spinebuster from Roode. Dublin crowd are normally appreciative but dead, but not here. Red hot throughout.
    Nakamura wins with the Kinshasa.

    – Alexa Bliss & Nia Jax v Bayley & Carmella

    I never have seen grown men fight so fiercely over pink wristbands in my life. Great chicken fight spot to start off. Great heel facials from Alexa. Same headlock & guillotine spots on Nia as in all of her matches. Bayley wins with Bayley-to-Bayley on Jax.

    – NXT Champion Samoa Joe vs. Finn Balor

    Crowd red hot with chants for Finn. Joe hated with a passion. Back and forth match, everything looked great. Muscle Buster blocked, 1916/Bloody Sunday blocked. Joe gets Balor in his choke finish, Finn powers out. Balor closing sequence (sling blade, dropkick etc). Misses the double footstomp, and as he rolls through Joe grabs him & rolls him up for the win. Finn thanked the crowd for all their support.

    Notes:

    – Nakamura sold out almost immediately. Balor merch sold second to him, though they obviously had a lot of stock.

    – Nakamura had the biggest reaction of the night. Some people around me were in tears during his entrance. Balor had a massive reaction
    as well, and it was more sustained than Shinsukes, but Nakamura had the better reaction out of the gate.

  • NXT Belfast, Ireland, live results: Nakamura & Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe & Austin Aries; Bobby Roode

    Submitted by Matt Sterling from The SSE Arena

    – Hugo Knox b Alexander Wolfe w/Sawyer Fulton

    Knox is a former soccer player from England who looked decent but needs work. Tremendous body. Crowd chanted for Bailey during the match – didn’t care much about the in-ring action here.

    – No Way Jose b Wesley Blake

    Jose is super over. He got the crowd to do a Mexican wave after he won, and danced with the referee.

    – Bayley & Carmella b Nikki Storm & Peyton Royce

    Sloppy match. Bit disappointing from the NXT women. Lots of botched spots. Bayley was the best in-ring trying to cope with three girls who need a lot of work.

    – Bobby Roode b Angelo Dawkins

    Bobby played the heel, lots of stalling & running away from Angelo. Crowd did the stupid spot where they chant a different number than the referee. Longest match on the show so far. Roode won with a spinebuster — a finish that came out of nowhere.

    – NXT Tag Champions The Revival b American Alpha to retain

    The Revival worked over Gable for a long time. When Jordan finally tagged in, it was easily the biggest reaction for a hot tag I’ve seen live. All four of these guys have so much talent. Dawson got the pin after knocking Gable into an exposed turnbuckle.

    Intermission

    – Andrade Almas b Tye Dillinger

    Great, fast paced match. Great showing for the former La Sombra.

    – NXT Women’s Champion Asuka b Nia Jax & Alexa Bliss to retain

    This felt like this had the potential to be great but it was sloppy at times. Seems like they weren’t on the same page. Asuka made Alexa tap with the Asuka lock.

    – Shinsuke Nakamura & Finn Balor b NXT Champion Samoa Joe & Austin Aries

    This was quite the spectacle to see so much talent in the ring at once, especially at a house show in Ireland. Match of the night. Balor got worked over for a while until the hot tag to Shinsuke. Place went nuts. Shinsuke pinned Aries with the Kinshasa. After the match, Finn and Nakamura did each other’s poses.

    Overall, this was an excellent show with great wrestling and a good environment. Arena was taped off – around half the attendance of a WWE show.

  • NXT Download Festival results: Bobby Roode makes in-ring debut; surprise return

    Photo: Jason Elliott & additional notes from Josh Nason

    Bobby Roode made his WWE in-ring debut Saturday at the NXT show at the Download Festival in Derby, United Kingdom, defeating Angelo Dawkins.

    Roode had very briefly been advertised for the tour, before it was pulled because they wanted his debut to be a surprise. He had appeared briefly on the last two NXT Takeovers in a backstage segment on Wednesday and in the crowd in Dallas.

    It is expected the 39-year-old will work the remainder of the tour.

    Here’s what happened Friday:

    – Hugo Knox defeated Sawyer Fulton after hitting a split-legged moonsault

    – Nikki Glencross defeated Peyton Royce after clamping on a swinging fisherman’s suplex.

    – Baron Corbin returned to defeat Angelo Dawkins & Alexander Wolfe in a handicap match via End of Days. Corbin put Wolfe through a table after the match.

    Here’s what happened Saturday for the first of two 90 minute sessions:

    – No Way Jose def. Alex Wolfe

    – Tye Dillinger def. Sawyer Fulton

    – Carmella def. Nikki Glencross

    – Bobby Roode def. Angelo Dawkins

    – NXT Women’s Champion Asuka def. Peyton Royce

    – Finn Balor and Hugo Knox def. NXT Tag Champions The Revival in a non-title match

    Here are the results for the second 90-minute session:

    – Bayley & Carmella def. Nikki Glencross & Nia Jax

    – Angelo Dawkins def. Wesley Blake

    – Triple H did a promo, talking about the Golden Gods Spirit Of Lemmy Award.

    – Alexa Bliss def. Peyton Royce

    – American Alpha def. Saywer Fulton & Alexander Wolfe

  • Wrestling Weekly: Les loves NXT, Danny Miller memories, Brock Lesnar

    Just how big a risk for WWE is Brock Lesnar’s return to the Octagon at UFC 200? Les Thatcher and Vic Sosa will talk about it from WWE’s perspective on the latest Wrestling Weekly!

    We’ll start with Les sharing some thoughts about his good friend and former tag team partner Danny Miller, who passed away this past Monday at the age of 84, as well as remembrances of the late Emily Miller (no relation) who was a longtime fan in the Mid Atlantic area. 

    From there, we’ll spend a few minutes discussing the one and only Muhammad Ali (18:35).  After that, it’s time to look at Brock Lesnar’s return to UFC (22:18) and how it impacts WWE.  We’ll wrap the show by discussing the latest NXT Takeover special (35:52), and why it has filled Les with hope for the future of the business.

  • NXT TakeOver & BOSJ reader feedback

    NXT Takeover: Thumbs Up

    • Best Match: Nakamura vs. Aries
    • Worst Match: Asuka vs. Nia Jax (by default as nothing was bad)

    Another very good NXT show and they keep doing what WWE main roster can’t do which is to be consistent.  Granted NXT isn’t over exposed and the same guys don’t wrestle each other a hundred times a week on TV before they meet on the ppv events.  NXT just does things in a way that really works well. 

    Andrade Almas vs. Tye Dillinger kicks the show off and it was a fun match and a nice debut for Cien.  Dillinger has a lot of crowd support for a guy who they don’t do anything with, but he has something and they should try to make him more than what he is.  Crowd was more into Dillinger than Almas.

    Tag Title match was very good.  I really enjoyed this and again they way they put it together makes me feel like I am really watching a tag team match and not what WWE does on Raw and Smackdown.  These guys take me back to what I used to watch as far as tag teams go when you felt like it was actually different from a singles match.  Really surprised at the finish of having the Revival regain the titles since American Alpha barely had them.  Maybe they be on the main roster sooner than later especially with the brand split coming.  Those big guys seemed a little green, but those are the kind of big guys that Vince likes to push.  Surprised to see Paul Ellering too. 

    Shinsuke Nakumara vs. Austin Aries was another great match.  Nakumara just has it. Hope when he gets to the main roster they just go with it and don’t try to change things.  He needs to be pushed to the top.  His entire presentation is great and the music really works.

    Women’s Championship was good, but having to judge it against the rest of the show it would come in last.  Jax will probably be a monster on the main roster at some point, but right now I’m glad that Asuka retained.  Maybe Bayley gets her rematch now.

    Samoa Joe vs. Finn Balor was great as well.  Again NXT doesn’t overuse the gimmicks and the cage match felt important and not just a gimmick because it was a certain time of the year that called for it.  Samoa Joe vs. Brock Lesnar really should be a WrestleMania main event. 

    Just a an enjoyable show from beginning to end.

    NJPW

    I would give the show a Thumbs Up overall.

    The matches they slated were really good loved how the feud between Elgin and Omega is heating up. Should make a great match at Dominion especially after the match they had at the house show NJPW had not too long ago. 

    Best bout was the Taguchi vs. Ospreay hands down. I went in there with high hopes low expectations for Taguchi at least and he blew that out of the water really enjoyed his performance. Though I have issues with Ospreay’s over verbal selling he does a wonderful job modifying maneuvers to accomidate his match injuries. Ospreay was really good in the match The sky is the limit for him. 

    Worst was the second bout Capt. NJ and Yoshi Tatsu v. Chase and Yujiro. Just didn’t do anything for me was hoping for more out of Chase and Yoshi and didn’t get it. 

    NXT

    I would give this show a thumbs middle overall.

    It blew me away on paper and didn’t deliver the quality I would have hoped for but wasn’t by any means bad. 

    Best bout was Tag Team match loved how it was crafted. Great Tandem moves by AA from the onset was really nice to see. I had been saying among my inner circle for weeks the best move for The Revival was to put the straps back on them to give them a little more time in NXT give them and heal heat. I think AA is main roster ready. 

    Worst bout was Cien debut. He didn’t wow me. I would have like to see some form of a showcase. The finish wasn’t great either. 

    – R.Ryan Sterling

    **********

    Thumbs in the middle

    • Best bout goes to Nakamura/Aries
    • Worst goes to Asuka/Jax

    This Tye Dillinger guy really does nothing for me so far.  Tag match was good but nothing new.  Nakamura/Aries was as good of a match as you would think but it felt like they were working the same level they would at a house show.  The Nia Jax matches are such a step down from what was previously taking place in this division that I can’t help but resent her for it.  The Joe/Balor feud is getting long in the tooth.  Even after watching the match (or maybe especially after) I can’t see why a cage match was where they went here.  The amount of hype on social media for this takeover seemed to be a lot higher than usual.  The increased advertising combined with the weak card makes me wonder about the future of NXT going into the brand split.  I realize now what a big part of these shows the women’s matches were towards making me enjoy NXT so much.  The advertising seemed to imply this show would consist of feud ending matches which was misleading and added to much of my disappointment.

    THUMBS –  DEFINITELY UP

    A very strong show from top to bottom.  As I found myself enjoying this show, and not really caring about Raw at all, it occurs to me this exemplifies the problem with WWE right now: too much content.  Less than monthly special events, which are very good, and a 1 hour per week TV show that you can miss is just about right.  Not to mention the simple booking that you can relate to.  But I think the problem has already been diagnosed, with no solution in sight.

    BEST MATCH: Revival v. Gable & Jordan.  An excellent match, with I believe the right result.  The opening video package seems to indicate that call-ups are coming, and Jordan & Gable deserve a call-up.  Actually, I’m not sure the Revival doesn’t as well.  Their matches are routinely better than any matches on Raw.

    WORST MATCH:  The Andrade match didn’t feel very special, but hopefully this guy will grow into something.  Dillinger did a nice job making the match look competitive, but the finishing sequence was pretty flat.

    I’m not a fan of cage matches, but if you are going to have them in the modern world, you cannot have escaping out the door be an option.  It is just too ridiculous to have Finn Balor standing by the door with his opponent down, but choosing to do a move instead.  A great effort by both guys, and the result indicates that Balor might get called up.

    The Shinsuke-Aries match was surely good, and had some good sequences, but not as good as Shinsuke-Zayn.  I was surprised to see Shinsuke taking that big bump on the apron.

    I think Shinsuke & Finn Balor deserve to be called up as well, but there doesn’t seem to be long term integrated planning on the big stage. Even the Nia Jax match was decent.  A great effort by everyone on the card.

    – Richard Orloski

    New Japan Super J Cup Finals

    • Thumbs Up

    Finals match told a tremendous story. Thought Ospreay sold much better and overall just came across as such a huge deal and a revolutionary talent. 

    NXT

    Thumbs Up

    Awesome show. 

    Cien vs. Dillinger. Good opener. Did what it was suppose to.

    NXT Tag Title Match American Alpha vs. The Revival. Tremendous. Not sure there is a more complete team in the world then American Alpha. They have the big guy/small guy thing, amazing moves, energy and realness to them. Understand The Revival winning and they don’t get the credit they deserve. After the match was a terrific angle and surprise to see Paul Ellering. Authors of Pain have a very solid look to them. 

    Nakamura vs. Aries. Great match. Really showcased both men. Loved the story that Aries had an answer for almost everything while at the same time showing how hard it is to defeat Nakamura. Nakamura’s charisma is just off the charts. 

    Asuka vs. Jax Women’s Title. Much better then I hoped. Jax has improved. 

    NXT Title Cage Match Samoa Joe vs. Finn Balor. Very good. I actually enjoyed the camera angles. Thought it was a fresh take on it and made it seem more brutal. Great last few minutes. Both guys deserve to be on the Main Roster but may be holding off on Joe to do him vs. Nakamura at Takeover Brooklyn. 

    Excellent show top to bottom. Match of the night I would go with Alpha vs. Revival but it is tough.

    – Mike Flyn

    ******

    I gotta say the show tonight definitely lived up to the hype so I got to give it a thumbs up. The best bout of the night to me was the main event, both guys told a great story and the super muscle buster off the ropes was pulled off flawlessly, I guess if I had to pick the “worst” match by default was the opening contest with La Sombra and Tye Dillinger, only because ever other match on the card delivered in a major way.

    – Michael Thomas

  • NXT TakeOver live results: Samoa Joe vs. Finn Balor cage match; Nakamura vs. Austin Aries

    While it might not be “The End” of NXT, tonight’s TakeOver show from Full Sail University in Florida will likely be the end of one of the longest and most entertaining rivalries in NXT history as Samoa Joe and Finn Balor will battle in a first for NXT: a steel cage match.

    Also on the show, Nakamura and Austin Aries look to advance to the next step in their respective NXT runs while NXT tag champions American Alpha are hoping this will be the end of their multi-month run against The Revival. NXT women’s champion Asuka looks to make a statement as she battles Nia Jax for the first time with the belt on the line, and Andrade Cien Almas finally makes his TV debut after months working NXT house shows, winning over crowds.

    Join us at 8 PM EST for NXT TakeOver: The End, live on WWE Network. Before you do, check out this preview, as well as today’s Wrestling Observer Live.

    **********

    Andrade Cien Almas vs. Tye Dillinger

    Almas won his debut in a hot five minute match. This was similar to Apollo Crews’ debut last August in that it was a more competitive match than most NXT debuts have been over the years. The fans at one point did dueling chants of “He’s 100” and “Perfect 10” as it was mentioned that Cien means one hundred in Spanish.

    There was a hot move where Andrade went for a moonsault, but Dillinger rolled out of the way. However, Andrade landed on his feet and immediately hit a standing moonsault to Dillinger. Dillinger got several near falls, including one after a superkick when Andrade was upside down on the top rope. In the end, Almas won with a running double knees in the corner while Dillinger was sitting in the corner.

    **********

    NXT Tag Team Champions American Alpha vs. The Revival

    Revival became the first team to become two-time NXT Tag Team Champions as they won clean with Shatter Machine on Jordan. This was different than the usual American Alpha match as it didn’t start with several minutes of Gable and Jordan suplexing their opponents all over the place. Instead, it was more of a fight than a wrestling match.

    At one point, the fight broke down into a 4-way with Jordan and Gable doing simultaneous takedowns and then using a double ankle lock, which made the fans go bananas.

    Dawson hit a Spinebuster which looked nicer than Triple H’s. Dash and Dawson clipped Gable’s knee out during the heat and used a real nice double team combination legdrop for a near fall. Jordan made the hot tag and went all Full Suplex University on both men. Revival got many near falls before the finish, making you believe that they would lose at the end, but alas, they did not.

    The fans were legitimately shocked by the finish and then they were shocked further when The Authors of Pain (Sunny Dhinsa and Gzim Selmani) attacked American Alpha after the match was over! They laid out Gable and Jordan before WWE Hall of Famer and Road Warriors manager Paul Ellering appeared on the ramp nodding his approval. The fans chanted “Who are you?” at Ellering.

    The Authors of Pain have been working the Florida NXT house shows for a few months.

    Asuka was warming up with Seth Petruzelli backstage and Bayley walked in, offering a handshake.

    **********

    Shinsuke Nakamura vs Austin Aries

    Nakamura won with his second attempt at the Kinshasa. As expected, this was an excellent match. Aries had his ribs taped for some unknown reason, but that didn’t really play into the match. The fans sang Nakamura’s theme song, which, if you recall, is completely instrumental. It was pushed in commentary that no one had ever controlled Nakamura the way Aries was, while Aries stretched Nakamura on the mat. The story told was every time Nakamura would go for one of his moves, and Aries would have the counter.

    Nakamura kicked Aries seven ways from sideways when he was on offense. Nakamura, at one point, went for the Kinshasa, but Aries blocked it and suplexed Nakamura before locking on the Last Chancery. Aries gave Nakamura a death valley driver on the ring apron, which looked like it killed him. The crowd did that annoying thing where they count one number ahead of the referee during a countout. Aries went for a Suicide Dive, but Nakamura moved causing Aries to crash into the barricade. Nakamura threw him back in the ring for the finish.

    **********

    Tickets are on sale this Saturday at 12Noon for NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn.

    **********

    NXT Women’s Champion Asuka vs. Nia Jax

    A much better match than expected. This built similar to the Nia-Bayley match from a few weeks ago where Jax just completely dominated Asuka from the bell. Every time Asuka went for a move, Nia would either block it or power out of it. Asuka’s biggest move was a kneebar, but Nia was right near the ropes.

    Asuka made her comeback using a series of spinning back fists that Nia was blocking with her face. Nia used a power bomb like during the contract signing last week, but Asuka somehow turned a pinfall attempt into an armbar. Asuka won with several hard kicks to the face and head.

    Not at the level of the great TakeOver matches, but still really really good.

    **********

    Earlier today, Mr. William Regal was talking to Cathy Kelly when Bobby Roode entered, walked past Mr. Regal, and entered the locker room.

    **********

    NXT Champion Samoa Joe vs Finn Balor in a steel cage match with pinfall, submission or escape rules

    Joe retained the title with a Muscle Buster off the middle rope in yet another excellent match. This was exactly the physical match you expect from these two and at least this time Joe didn’t accidentally bleed in the first 30 seconds of the match. Joe on two occasions hip tossed Balor into the cage.

    There was an amazing spot where both men were on the top rope and Finn went to hoist himself over the top of the cage, but Joe did his jumping Inzigiri to the back of Finn’s head, causing both men to crash onto the mat.

    Joe at one time was caught between the ropes and the cage. Balor was on the top rope and kicked Joe in the face, causing Joe to hunch over on the top rope, crotching Balor on the ropes. Later on in the match they were back on the top rope and Balor gave Joe a Slingblade off the top rope and then one normal one. Balor kicked out of a Muscle Buster and Joe kicked out of a Coup de Grace before the finish.
