- I absolutely love Baron Corbin's entrance, all the spotlights make him look like such a big deal.
- One fan yelled "JOHN CENA HAS MORE MOVES THAN YOU!" right when Corbin's music gets lower before the big white out with the titantron. It was almost as perfect as the death stare Corbin gives him afterwards:

- Johnny Gargano's entrance theme might be the most generic sounding rock song in history. With a song like that, I'm surprised he doesn't wrestle in plain black gear and wrestle as "John Smith"
- I'm a huge fan of Gargano (he's actually the first wrestler I ever met), so it really makes me happy that he's getting to make all these appearances in NXT.
- I really love Corbin sh*t talking the fans. I feel like not enough wrestlers do that anymore.
- Also, having Corbin work with small, great workers like Gargano and Rich Swann are the perfect way to not only have him keep improving, but also show just how big and dominant he actually is
- Overall good match between Corbin & Gargano. Gargano got a lot of offensee in ,but Corbin got the win with the End of Days
- Sami Zayn vs Samoa Joe is going to be an absolute banger.
- As much as I love the Vaudevillians and their creepy vignettes...why are they still doing them? They've already returned as heels, and they just keep playing the same vignette over and over again. At least do something different.
- I just can't bring myself to like the Hype Bros. I just find Mojo Rawley so annoying and I've been beaten into submission to stop having hope for Zack Ryder.
- I'm pretty sure Corey Hollis has been on NXT for like two years and he still isn't doing anything.
- Sqaush match, the Hype Bros win with a Hype Ryder over Hollis & John Skyler
- In all honesty, Cameron might be the worst female wrestler WWE has right now. I know it's easy to point the finger at Eva Marie, but Cameron has been wrestling for a few more years than Eva and she still looks like it's her first match every single time. She can't do basic moves properly, and she's never going to live down this.
- Some her worst moments in this match include a sliding splits knee (what else could I even call it?), taking a knee to the gut and selling her head, and her running one hand push into Bliss' face, which I think was supposed to be a clothesline.
- On a funnier note, Alexa Bliss literally walking on people makes me laugh. Like, she's so small. Would that even hurt?
- Overall, below average match. Cameron is terrible, and Alexa Bliss still needs work in the ring. Also, I don't like the Sparkle Splash as a finisher. When Bam Bam Bigelow did it, it made sense because he was a big dude landing on top of you from a high place. Alexa Bliss is like 90 pounds.
- Gable & Jordan and Enzo & Cass' backstage segment was perfection. Gable misquoting Back to Back, Enzo & Cass not doing the "Ready, Willing, and Gable" the right way, and just having the two most entertaining teams in NXT interacting backstage was great.
- The Drifter showed up. Case and point.
- However, the commentators say they've seen him outside venues playing his guitar. I knew it! He is just some homeless dude who wanders into the arena occasionally.
- Tom Phillips says Sampson "silenced" the NXT crowd in his last match like it's a good thing.
- Quick squash, nothing important happened. Sampson beat Jesse Sorensen Please scrap this guy, NXT.
- This might just be how good Bayley is at making other wrestlers look like a million bucks, but Carmella looked really good in this match. Those suicide dives were about as good as a suicide dive can get. Take notes, Dean Ambrose. Bayley won after a series of pinfall reversals in a great match
- After the match, Eva Marie & Nia Jax show up and destroy Carmella. The fans are just absolutely eating Eva alive. Forget "X-Pac heat", this is "Eva Marie heat"
- Sign Guy can go f**k himself:
I didn't actually notice this until I read Brandon Stroud's Best and Worst of NXT, but Jesus, what a douche. Jokes about Nia's weight and Asuka's broken English are just so low brow. It would kind of be like making fun of someone for thinking a Fred Durst-style red hat still looks cool in 2016:
- Asuka shows up, scares Eva & Nia into retreating, and then gives Bayley that death stare she does all too well. I'm pumped for the Bayley-Asuka match they're undoubtedly building up.
Thanks for reading. Be sure to share if you enjoyed it.
