This was the best big NXT show I've seen. 4.5 or 5 out 5. :wow:

Random thoughts:

-That crowd. :whew: :blessed:

-Opener was good. Nice way to open up.

-I enjoyed the tag match. Never cared for B&M and only seen Vaudevillains one time.

-AC has a dope theme, but he didn't do much to show me why he's hyped. I know he has to tone it down for the E style.

-Joe/Baron was a solid big man match. Prob Baron's best match that I've seen. That's what Joe does. :wow:

-Joe's theme sounds a little better now.

-Women's match was awesome. Seriously, best of all time.

-Main was just as good. KO taking those bumps. :damn:

This was a pretty good show. My main problems with the show were commentary screwing up move names and steph using Bayley and Sasha to further a main roster storyline.

Jushin Thunder Liger vs Tyler Breeze was a pretty good opener despite a botch or 2.

Vaudevillains vs Blake & Murphy was pretty good. Happy to see the Vaudevillains as Tag Team Champs.

Ty Dillinger vs Apollo Crews was just okay. Worst match of the night but wasn't bad.

Baron Corbin vs Samoa Joe was actually a good match. Jim Ross would refer to this match as 2 hosses going at it.

Bayley vs Sasha Banks was great. Loved the storytelling and drama of this match. Sasha Banks jumping over the ref and doing a Somersault Plancha was sweet. I was Surprised Bayley actually hit a Poisoned Frankensteiner in WWE and it wasn't botched at all.

Kevin Owens vs Finn Balor was disappointing not because it was bad because it was hyped to be great, but it was just good. Kevin Owens took a lot of brutal bumps and was hilarious before and during the match.
