5 Ups And 1 Down From Last Night's NXT (Jul 15)

4. The Priest You Can Do

Where the hell was this last week!?

On a show that was absolutely crying out for some sort of hard-hitting, feud-furthering meat slapper, Damien Priest vs Cameron Grimes was somehow deemed less pressing than Bronson Reed vs Tony Nese or Mercedez Martinez vs Santana Garrett. With all due respect to those four wrestlers, they could have easily waited for TV last week while we watched these two beat the piss out of each other on a bigger stage.

Ultimately, this was a match that merited the pomp and circumstance of being b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶f̶i̶l̶m̶e̶d̶ ̶n̶e̶x̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶b̶a̶l̶l̶o̶o̶n̶s̶ The Great American Bash but, last week's loss was definitely this week's gain. Grimes has been on a hot-streak but, with Priest fit, he *should* have way too much for him, making this a very intriguing affair.

In the end, both men gave really good accounts of themselves, with the looming threat of a Cave In meaning the winner was impossible to predict. Priest scores the victory though, which he really needed given that he's only had one other televised win since December, but Grimes remains one of the most entertaining things on the show.

Handshakes all-round.
