The Asuka match aside, this really was the only match on last night's show, and even though it was slightly marred but a messy non-finish, the battle between two of WWE's brightest rising stars did not disappoint. From the opening bell, the action was crisp, acrobatic and hard-hitting. With both men such stellar athletes it wasn't surprising that "HOLY S***" chants were radiating around Full Sail before the evening was done. The men competed with duelling dropkicks, Crews countered a Reverse Bloody Sunday with a Fallaway Samoan Drop, Balor countered the standing moonsault with his knees before missing the Coup De Grace, eating a big boot, but countering with a Pele Kick. Breathless stuff. Another nice addition to the match: the atmosphere blue lighting during the wrestler introductions. The two men stood toe-to-toe and were bathed in a cold spotlight, which instantly gave the match the big fight feel that many, including myself, worried that it would be lacking. It was, by a wide margin, the best match that Apollo Crews has had in NXT and, had it ended with a clean finish, might have rivalled some of Balor's finest works, although not his match with Neville. Nothing can top that.
