1/28 WWE NXT Results: Lucha Dragons Defend the Tag Titles, Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn Contract Signing, Adrian Neville vs. Tyson Kidd

-Backstage, Charlotte tells Bayley she’ll destroy her if she ever pulls a stunt like she did (re: attacking the champ from behind). Bayley doesn’t appologize and says she’s been too soft, and when Sami Zayn got serious he won the title. That said, she wants to get on the same page as they are partners tonight. 

-During Tyson Kidd’s entrance the screen cuts into a glitched-out hacker type thing. If you pause it at the right moments it’s an hype spot for Solomon Crowe. 

NXT Tournament First Round Match

Adrian Neville vs. Tyson Kidd

Tyson tries to get in Neville’s head early, but it’s the former NXT champ that pulls up short on a suicide dive, doing a backflip instead and playing some mind games. Kidd goes to the floor several times and eventually Neville goes after him, but is thrown hard into the steel steps. They go into a rest spot in the middle of the read as they cut to commercial.

After the break Neville fights out of the side headlock and plants him with a kick to the jaw, then throws him to the floor. Neville launches himself clear over the ropes with a corkscrew splash – big “NXT” chants. They start trading kicks and Neville gets the better of it, then follows up with a standing moonsault for two. Tyson fights back with a suplex into the ropes and a spinning neckbreaker for two. Fans are really into this match. He tries for a German suplex but Neville lands on his feet and hits a sit-down powerbomb for another nearfall. Kidd with a brutal kick to the head but Neville kicks out, fights back and ends him with the Red Arrow. 

Winner: Adrian Neville
