That was a quick ending. Really odd.

Tag match was really good. Definitely worth watching tomorrow.

Corbin/Aries had a weirdly quick ending that I assume will lead to more matches between the two. Corbin's a pretty good heel.

Ohhhh, baby. This is the moment I've been waiting for. I hope Nakamura keeps his obnoxious jackets and him saying "Yeaoh!"

I actually really like that entire match. Corbin came out looking dominant and AA came out as a crafty veteran sneaking one in when he had no business of winning. good big vs little story

I'm sure Kota Ibushi, who is in the audience, is going to take a big look at this particular match.

I'm always taken aback by how incredibly likable Sami Zayn is with such a generic white meat babyface character. Dude is just brimming with charisma.

its really odd because nxt is such a smark promotion, but it really does create over generic babyfaces. Sami, Finn, and Bayley are all really generic over the top good guys and the crowds just go ape**** for them.

Commentator got it wrong. I wouldn't say Nakamura was a protege of Daniel Bryan, they pretty much trained together at the same time.

Having a good crowd is fine, but is it really necessary to burst out into a chant every minute?

The "this is wrestling" chant before anything even happened in this match really annoyed me

The one-count kickout is underutilized, and that was a pretty perfect spot for it. Like Nakamura thinks maybe he caught him just right with the head-kick, and Sami feels the cover and goes "LOL no."

I totally agree with this! Everything doesn't have to be an amazing kick-out at 2, especially early in the match.

yeah lkj, agree entirely.

and again I say how its amazing that nxt matches just all have an in ring story to tell instead of just running through signature spots like we see at the next level. revival trying to be dirty, the big vs small beatdown into the surprise win, and now these two with the one upsmanship the whole way so far. just so good
