The short-lived match saw Del Toro and Wilde score the win when Escobar pulled Adonis off the apron and Vega wiped out B-Fab, leaving Top Dolla to suffer Sacrificio. Santos Escobar and Zelina Vega accompanied the heels, while B-Fab seconded Hit Row.
Hit Row's Ashante Thee Adonis and Top Dolla sought revenge Friday night as they battled Legado Del Fantasma's Cruz del Toro and Joaquin Wilde in tag team action. The exchange of dives late in the match was a lot of fun and set the stage for Perez to battle it out with Bayley in an attempt to prove herself.The match also served as a nice primer for Halloween Havoc, the October 26 NXT event.ĭamage CTRL defeated Perez, Shotzi and Rodriguez Perez, in particular, showed up and showed out in her first opportunity, and all involved should feel good about her prospects moving forward. There was no structure to speak of, but it did what it set out to: highlight Shotzi and Rodriguez as potential challengers to Kai and Sky's Women's Tag Team Championships while presenting Perez as a star of WWE's future. This was a frantically paced match that attempted to highlight everyone involved and did so fairly well. The two continued their back-and-forth, concluding with Bayley countering a rollup for the hard-fought victory. Perez, proving no stage is too big for her, kicked out of Bayley's trademark Bayley-to-Belly suplex. The high-energy match broke down late, with Shotzi, Kai and Sky all flying through the air to the benefit of their team. NXT's Roxanne Perez joined Shotzi and Raquel Rodriguez for a six-woman tag team match against Damage CTRL's Bayley, Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai.Ī fired-up Perez fearlessly took the fight to the heels before tagging Shotzi into the match. Why would we keep that covered up with a suit for so long?" Wade Barrett questioned, asking the hard-hitting questions every fan demands. It will benefit him in the long run, but it remains to be seen if such a quick turn after another just two weeks earlier was the right call. Knight is always going to excel as a heel, but it was certainly interesting to see him turn so quickly after dumping the Maximum Male Models. His opponent? Former Maximum Male Models associate mån.sôör, who was accompanied to the squared circle by Maxxine Dupri and ma.çé.Ī distraction from the latter allowed the heel to take control momentarily, but Knight fought back, fended off ma.çé and put mån.sôör down for the pinfall victory.Īfter the match, Knight put the WWE Superstars on notice, but not before turning heel on the fans by claiming he does not need them chanting his name. The Honorary Uce delivered the running hip attack à la The Usos, really hammering home his place in The Bloodline.Ī week ago, LA Knight shed his "Max Dupri" moniker and returned to the name he made famous in NXT.Zayn took a phone call from Roman Reigns prior to the match, shielding Uso from the call and refusing to fill him in on whatever The Tribal Chief had to say.There will come a time when he does not, and what that means for him, Zayn and their place in Reigns' empire remains one of the most engaging stories in all of wrestling. Eager to please The Tribal Chief but infuriated over being placed under Zayn's control, he put personal vendettas aside and did what was right for The Bloodline.
Zayn's attempts to further prove himself part of The Bloodline family were humorous and effective, but it was Uso helping him to win the match that was the biggest takeaway.
This was a damn good match between two grizzled pros who know what it takes to deliver when given time.
Kingston appeared poised to win the match via rollup, but Uso slid in, reversed it in favor of Zayn and watched as his budding rival scored the assisted victory. Kingston fought back, showing some of that trademark resiliency, but a superkick from Uso to Woods on the floor provided enough of a distraction for The Honorary Uce to deliver a Blue Thunder Bomb for two. Zayn controlled the action, putting the former WWE champion on the defensive. Xavier Woods and Jey Uso accompanied the competitors, respectively. Drew McIntyre attacked a staggered Kross and promised, "This is just the beginning!"īack in the arena, Kofi Kingston and Sami Zayn kicked off the in-ring portion of the night's broadcast. SmackDown went on the air with breaking news: Karrion Kross and Scarlett were involved in a car accident backstage.
