WWE Superstars Shoot On Controversial NXT Match
Looks like these main roster stars weren't fans of Keith Lee vs. Dominik Dijakovic...
Last night's NXT saw Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic throw down in an eye-popping spectacle of a bout typical of their years-long rivalry, throwing all kinds of big bombs across 12 action-packed minutes.
Anyone who's seen these guys wrestle each other before would've had an idea of what to expect. Regardless, Lee and Dijakovic went to lengths they've never stretched to before in WWE, with the big lads pulling off all kinds of very un-big lad spots, including Moonsaults, flip dives to the outside, and a top-rope Canadian Destroyer... for a two-count.
This didn't sit well with SmackDown Superstar Buddy Murphy, who tweeted the following during the contest:-
Scott Dawson was at least a tad subtler in his criticism, though it wasn't exactly thinly-veiled:-
A divisive contest, it's the kind of match that gives Jim Cornette types a hernia but delights others, though Murphy complaining about modern psychology is a tad rich. This is a man who recently used Kenny Omega's V-Trigger, Kota Ibushi's Kamigoye, and a Brainbuster as a three-move combo for a two-count. Each of those moves is a believable match-ender on its own.
As for Dawson? This could well be part of his throwback character. At least it has people talking.
