NXT - August Week 2, Year 2



Match 1. Curtis Axel vs. Fandago vs. X-Pac vs. Zack Ryder

Match 2. Natalya vs. Alexa Bliss

Match 3. Paige vs. Summer Rae

Match 4. Round 2 - TM61 vs. Gargano and Ciampa
This could be the match of the tournament. Shane caught Ciampa with three consecutive suplexes. Ciampa came back with a flipping guillotine over the top rope. Mikey almost pulled Gargano's shoulder out of its socket. Shane caught Tommaso with a spin slam and a standing moonsault. Mikey then lifted Ciampa for a spin-out powerbomb to win.

This team is impressive. They work quick and make it hurt.

Match 5. Brock Lesnar vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
Can the ring support these two? Bam Bam landed three headbutts and a power slam. Lesnar fought back and locked in an arm bar. He then hit a back suplex. Bam Bam landed a back superplex and a diving splash. Lesnar kicked out of a diving elbow and hit an F5, but got a near fall. Bam Bam hit a second diving headbutt and won.

Wow. Bam Bam got a big, big win. Is he in line for an NXT title shot?

Main Event. Daniel Bryan vs. Samoa Joe
Bryan landed a couple of neck breakers. He countered a slam and connected with his Yes Kicks. Bryan hit a sunset flip from the second rope and then DDT'd Joe on the apron. Bryan brought Joe back into the ring and hit the running knee to win.

After the match, Bryan went for a handshake, but Joe brushed it off and walked away.

If I lost like that, I'd be pissed too. This was too one-sided for me. Hopefully Joe can come back next week.

Recap: TM61 is very impressive. They will face either the Wyatts or The Club. Bam Bam got a career-making win over Lesnar.
