5 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (Aug 26)

Downs...

3. Eva Marie And Carmella Were Rejected By The Crowd

I thought Eva Marie did better in her match this week in terms of doing some of the little things right, but Carmella was not the right opponent for her. When I watch Carmella wrestle, she really doesn't come across as being believable. That may be harsh against Carmella, but I also believe that she can be a great manager. She doesn't have to wrestle regularly in a role like that, so just keep her with Enzo & Cass in that role. She definitely has charisma and knows how to work the crowd. I just don't know if she can be much more than that. Another bad thing about the match is the crowd rejected it nearly the entire time they were out there. That really hurt the presentation of the match. After some brief offense by Carmella, Eva hit a jawbreaker and Sliced Bread for the win. WWE wants to push her big time, so of course she won. This match was a good reminder that NXT is a developmental wrestling show for a lot of these performers.
