Isenberg Reacts: WWE NXT “Let’s Start A Riot, A Riot”

By Josh Isenberg

Aleister Black vs. Kona Reeves

Tommy End

Aliester Black makes quick work of Kona Reeves. Reeves came out quick, but Black hits kicks and punches in combination. That was pretty much it, as Black meditates in the ring and connects with Black Mass for the win. Aleister Black, with anothe rquick win, is more about his gimmick than his wrestling. The guy is a stellar wrestler, with a great look. Time will tell if he can continue to use this “dark” character without speaking much to connect. I think he can, especially considering Tommy End was a great gimmick for him to grab a following before entering NXT.

With Black and McIntyre making quick work of other men on the roster, one will wonder who will be after Hideo Itami. Is Itami just a filler for one of these guys against Bobby Roode? Will NXT Takeover: Chicago in May be something more than predictable? It gives the main event, later in 2017, some options.
