-Michael Cole puts over NXT and they run a video package on Sami Zayn.
(3) Tyson Kidd vs. Sami Zayn
Tyson wins one armdrag and starts posturing with the crowd. They lock up and Tyson puts on a side headlock, but Sami gets free and tosses him across the ring with a snap armdrag. Zayn shows off with a few more armdrags, and Tyson gets mad, responding with hard elbow shots. Sami blocks a punch on the apron, but ends up getting dropkicked to the floor. Kidd follows up with a big neckbreaker on the floor, and makes Natalya kiss him before rolling back.
They take a commercial break, and Tyson is 100% in control after. They show footage of during, where Kidd hit a turnbuckle dropkick with Sami tied in the tree of woe. He stays ahead for a few minutes, slowing down with rest holds, but Zayn comes back with dropkicks and armdrags. He runs into boots in the corner, and Tyson hits him with a gorgeous 450 neckbreaker off the top rope. He hits a springboard legdrop on the apron, followed up with a springboard elbow drop for two.
Out of nowhere, Sami hits the Blue Thunder Bomb for a close nearfall. He psyches himself up and tries for a suplex over the ropes, but Kidd blocks it and gets a sunset flip pin for two. They trade pinning attempts and it ends with Tyson getting a handful of tights for three.
Winner: Tyson Kidd
KILLAM: That was a decent match, but it felt a lot more produced than some of the much better attempts they’ve had in NXT. That should come as a surprise to no one. I did not enjoy Sami being left looking like an idiot in the middle of the ring.
