14 Ups & 0 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (Oct 16)
1. Ballseye
This gets said every week because the guy is on the show every week, but Pete Dunne's so awesome, and he put in a great shift here to help elevate exciting prospect Damien Priest.
Holding back on the 'Archer Of Infamy' for the first few weeks appeared to be a statement of intent from NXT gaffers - this match and its result was the latest tell. The packaging is already spot on, so reps such as this will only advance him up the black-and-gold brand faster. Even Mauro Ranallo was forced to fight with the word "toxophilite" just add to the presentation, but his bullsh*t wasn't required by the fervent finish.
Though Dunne couldn't score with the Bitter End or a moonsault, he did at least make it to Priest's fingers before getting hoofed with a low blow to set up The Reckoning and a huge upset win. The 'Bruiserweight' needs to relocate his killer instinct - those coming up underneath him have it to spare.
