I’m here at the new Orlando NXT live event venue, with an estimated crowd of 450.
– Dan Matha won a 15-man battle royal
Oney Lorcan, Tino Sabbatelli, Tucker Night, Niko Bogojevic, Dan Matha, Kenneth Crawford, Gabriel Ealy, Uriel Ealy, Angelo Dawkins, Patrick Clark, Bin Wang, Adrian Jaoude, Brennan Williams, Dallas Harper, and Babatunde Aiyegbusi were in the match.
– Andrade “Cien” Almas defeated Lince Dorado
Fast paced match until Almas suckered Dorado in with a handshake before jumping him. Almas punished him and finally won with his leg sweep DDT.
– Daria Berenato defeated Mandy Rose
Rose was no match for Berenato in this one. Berenato won with a shining wizard.
– Riddick Moss defeated Cedric Alexander
Very good match, crowd was all over Moss and were into Alexander. Alexander hit a big dive to the outside, and he had control until Moss stole the win with a roll-up. Moss kept stomping a mudhole in Alexander after the match until he fought back and hit a lumbar check to send Moss packing.
– Hideo Itami defeated Beautiful Blonde Blake
A lot of taunting by Blake and he even blew a kiss. Itami was having none of it and won it with a GTS. Female referee Nikkan Lee worked this match.
– Sanity (Alexander Wolfe & Sawyer Fulton) w/ Nikki Cross defeated TM61
Nikki Cross was going ballistic at ringside as per usual. The heel team put a hurting on the quicker TM61. Thorne and Miller got a few hope spots, but Fulton and Wolfe hit their double team overhead side slam for the win
– NXT Women’s Champion Asuka defeated Billie Kay w/ Peyton Royce
Nikkan Lee also refereed this match. Kay used an early distraction to keep control of this one before Asuka was able to run wild, knock Royce off the apron, and apply the Asuka Lock for the win
– NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, No Way Jose & Tye Dillinger defeated Buddy Murphy & The Authors Of Pain
All types of comedy spots in this match. Nakamura kicked Murphy in the mid section, then did the cross arm swaggy taunt. He kicked Murphy again near the ropes, which doubled Murphy down to the YeaOh position so Nakamura ran to the opposite side of the ring and did a YeaOh of his own.
The Authors kept control of Jose when they were involved in the match to build up the hot tag. Shinsuke ran wild and hit the Kinshasa for the win.
