![]() Crews looked like he might gain the early edge over Breeze:īut Breeze tried to turn the tide. Crews had been impressive up to NXT Takeover: Respect, but there’s no question that Prince Pretty would be the highly versatile Crews’ biggest challenge to date in NXT.Ĭrews and Breeze expectedly spent the first few moments of the action jockeying for control, trading rest holds and strikes with one another. Arturo Ruas, Bronson Reed vs.Highlights and results from Apollo Crews vs Tyler Breeze at NXT Takeover: RespectĮver the one to ruffle feathers, Tyler Breeze was ready to take on the relative newcomer Apollo Crews. RECOMMENDED: 7/17 NXT TV REPORT: Adam Cole defends, Apollo Crews vs. Some of the current feuds do nothing for me at all. ![]() The feud with Gargano and Cole currently looks like it will be going on for a while. Meanwhile, Velveteen Dream has been missing besides a short pre-taped segment last week, and the new NXT Champion Adam Cole is yet to have a match as champion. Matt Riddle seems to be feuding with Killian Dain which is not exactly thrilling, while Tyler Breeze seems to be getting into it with the Forgotten Sons. Adam Cole defending his NXT Title was even advertised a week out and that never took place. Riddle wrestled Arturo Ruas in a striking and grappling heavy match that was good. The breakout tournament match was okay but nothing special. I was hoping for a few singles matches, and while I got two of them, one of them never happened. Big let down and a big miss.įINAL THOUGHTS: I was let down this week. Out came Gargano and the brawled untill Gargano applied the Gargano-escape. Cole called out Twan Tucker, a wrestler trained by Gargano, and he stated that he was not having a title match because he did not come alone. It would seemingly point to who has the most potential in NXT.Īdam Cole Championship match – MISS: A Miss here as the match never happened because Gargano came out and brawled with Cole. Damien Priest which the outcome of the match should be interesting. I enjoyed this interview because it seemed somewhat organic. Keith Lee Interview – HIT: A Hit here as Lee basically pointed out that his push has had a start and stop problem. Kushida won with an amazing flying armbar from the top rope. In this case, they used a guy who has had main roster exposure in Apollo Crews to put Kushida over more. Both guys looked great and this was a great match it is just that Kushida has had several matches with guys of the bottom tier. Not taking away Apollo Crews talent or potential, but I have seen Kushida have match of the year type matches, and I want to see that here in NXT with top level talents. I would like to see Kushida wrestle guys that are a little higher on the pecking order. Apollo got a great reception returning to Full Sail from the main roster. Kushida – HIT: I’ll give this a Hit here. It looks like it’s going to be Ryker and Breeze in a match at some point with.Īpollo Crews vs. ![]() Forgotten Sons said Breeze was not taken seriously on the main roster because he is always joking. This does not help Breeze or the tag team future of the Forgotten Sons. Again, a Hit for the Breakout Tournament just because of its purpose of highlighting new talent.įorgotten Sons and Tyler Breeze segment – MISS: A Miss here as I just did not like this. I will have to see some more of these guys to make a proper judgement, but they looked okay here. ![]() The match was good and Reed won with a top rope splash. Bronson Reed – HIT: Dexter Lumis has a lot of agility, but has the weirdest sci-fi-like entrance that you will ever see, complete with a hilarious looking facial expression. Nonetheless, that’s what seems to be in the plans moving forward.īreakout Tournament: Dexter Lumis vs. It this really the best idea for Riddle’s career? I would figure the next step for Riddle would be that North American or NXT Title challenger. I’m not sure if Riddle taking a step backwards, but feuding with Dain is. After the match Killian Dain attacked Riddle and put them both through part of the stage. Riddle got the win with a referee stoppage after repeated ground strikes. Good singles competition will always get a Hit from me, but this was more about the angle after the match with Killian Dain. Arturo Ruas – HIT: A really good mixed martial arts type match here from Riddle and Ruas. SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN).
