5 Ups And 2 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (28 Oct)

TAG MATCH OF THE YEAR!

As you can tell from the title of this article, it was a stellar week for NXT. WWE's third brand has already become the most reliable source for women's wrestling, well-built stories and Network Specials, but it now appears that you can add tag team wrestling right to the top of that list. Three separate teams got the NXT audience buzzing last night; Dash & Dawson near-crippled Colin Cassady on their quest to become NXT Tag Team Champions, and Gable & Jordan and Ciampa & Gargano absolutely electrified Full Sail University with a match that, when you exclude PPVs and TakeOvers, could genuinely rank as one of the best matches of the whole year. It was a great night of wrestling across the board. Angles were furthered, characters cemented themselves and Tyler Breeze possibly wrestled his last match on NXT television. So long Tyler, and thanks for all the closeups. Full card (w/ finishes): Emma vs Shazza Shazza taps out to the Emma Lock. Chad Gable & Jason Jordan vs Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano Gable pins Gargano after the Grand Amplitude. Kay Lee Ray vs Nia Jax Jax hits Ray with a vicious leg drop for the win. Enzo & Cass vs Dawson & Wilder Match never happens owing to a pre-match ambush by Dawson & Wilder. Tyler Breeze vs Samoa Joe Joe submits Tyler with the Kokina Clutch.
