WWE NXT Review:
All in all, Showdown was a fun show. There were no duds here tonight, with the Mustafa Ali vs. Ethan Page North American Championship match taking match of the night honors. Go out of your way to see this match, and please check on Ali; this writer isn’t sure if he’s still alive after some of the shots he took during that contest. The biggest thing coming out of tonight is TNA finally getting one over on NXT. Even money says the Hardys will drop the titles back to DarkState after their title defense against the Dudleyz at Bound for Glory, but with their victory today, they are giving the Dudleys a run for their money when it comes to being the most decorated tag team of all time.
