5 Ups And 3 Downs For This Week's NXT (Sept 2)
The tag team tournament kicks off this week on NXT. Who impressed the most?
It was a big night of tag team wrestling on this week's NXT broadcast as they left Brooklyn and went back to airing shows taped at Full Sail University in Orlando. A big theme of this week's show is that they started the first annual Dusty Rhodes NXT Tag Team Classic Tournament. It's a tournament that features 16 tag teams for a total of 32 wrestlers, which means they had to call on some main roster performers to be a part of it. That's why this week's show saw the likes of The Ascension and Neville returning to NXT to be a part of the festivities. It's great to see quality indy wrestlers like Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa on the show this week in a backstage segment. They're in action next week. Adding more talent like them is a wonderful thing for the NXT brand. One of the problems with NXT being taped in advance is that a great moment like Bayley walking into Full Sail with the NXT Women's Title wasn't filmed. That's something that will happen in the near future, but it should have been this week. Here are the results of this week's matches. Rhyno and Baron Corbin beat The Ascension to advance in the tag team tournament. Alexa Bills beat Blue Pants. Apollo Crews beat Martin Stone. Eva Marie beat Billie Kay. Jason Jordan and Chad Gable beat Neville and Solomon Crowe to advance in the tag team tournament. Here are five ups and three downs for this week's NXT broadcast.
