14 Ups & 0 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (Oct 16)
2. Dain Unto Others
Perhaps Killian Dain and Matt Riddle were each other's kryptonites after all - the 'Northern Ireland Nightmare' had as good a night as the 'Original Bro' in his crushing win over Boa.
More good booking here - Boa was livid with being brutalised by Dain last week, and showed guts and guile even getting in there with the former Sanity member in the first place. More guts than brains, sadly - killer Killian flattened him with a trio of Vader Bombs like the nasty pr*ck he is.
A sideways camel clutch/abdominal stretch submission victory was academic. Unsurprising, considering how much thought was clearly given to this instant rehabilitation - especially when he stuck around to earn a finger-snap from Pete Dunne before the main event.
