7 Ups And 3 Downs From NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia
2. An Extremely Good Match
When you put two guys in the ring who understand how to put together a great match, odds are that’s exactly what you’re going to get. Throw in a few weapons in the city of Extreme, and you’ve got Aleister Black versus Adam Cole (Bay-be!).
Cole and Black had a really, really good match that mixed in chairs, tables, ladders and kendo sticks in the right proportion while battling back and forth. Black took a hellacious shot when he caught a tossed chair that was superkicked into his face, knocking him off the turnbuckle and through two tables on the floor. Cole got put through the announce table after Sanity ran off the rest of the Undisputed Era.
In the end, Black remained undefeated by taking out Cole with Black Mass. It was a well-laid-out match with no slow points or down spots, which is exactly what you’d want.
