WWE NXT Results:
Highlights from NXT The Great American Bash are shown as the show kicks off.
The NEW NXT Women’s Champion
NXT Women’s Champion Kendal Grey talks about her journey and dealing with the self-doubt she felt on her way to the title. She knows she doesn’t look like your average champion. She doesn’t wear makeup or… whatever. Grey goes on and on. Everyone is going to find out that they can’t keep up with Kendal. The Women’s Speed Champion, Wren Sinclair, brings Grey a cake to celebrate. Sinclair puts Grey over. Kelani Jordan inturupts and complains about never getting a shot at the title when Grey has had several. Tatum Paxley attacks Jordan. Grey and Sinclair eat cake and welcome the crowd to the show.
Grade: C
Grey is amazing in the ring. Not so much when it comes to promos, which will hopefully come with time. At some point, this writer hopes WWE learns they don’t have to follow this same formula every time someone wins a championship. It’s tired.
NXT Tag Team Championship Match | The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes) (c) vs. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno del Mal
Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno are in control for most of this match. Smoke and Baylor hit their finish after Drake pokes Dr. Wagner Jr. in the eye.
Winners and STILL NXT Tag Team Champions, The Vanity Project!
Grade: C+
Good TV match, but the Vanity Project seems to have little to no heat. For a team that hateable to have zero heat is bizarre.
Mason Rook vs. Jackson Drake
Rook is in control early. After the break, Drake gets his knees up during a senton from Rook. Drake floor Rook with a handspring cutter. Rook kicks out. Rook fires back with a few chops and a cannonball in the corner. Drake surprises Rook with a springboard double stomp! Rook kicks out. Powerbomb by Rook. Drake kicks out. Drake counters a powerbomb with a sunset bomb. Poison ranna by Drake! Rook pops back to his feet and hits a sit-out powerbomb! Drake kicks out! Rook sets up his finish. Lockwood distracts the referee while Baylor and Smokes attack Rook. Rook clears the ring, but eats a backstabber from Drake. Lockwood holds Rook’s leg, so he can’t kick out.
Winner- Jackson Drake
Rook beats up Baylor and Smokes after the match.
Grade: B-
Fun match, but not a single move was sold the entire time.
