5 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (Nov 25)
Corporate Invasion!
It's been a very long time since NXT have hosted a main event as overbooked as Eva Marie Vs Bayley. Interference, two separate referee bumps, a post-match attack; things got very 'main roster' at NXT last night, in more ways than one. It almost seemed like an Invasion angle was being played. Michael Cole and Charles Robinson arrived to upend the status quo, Total Divas got a big shout out, it was all incredibly disconcerting, and quite compelling. Elsewhere on the card, the feud between Asuka and Demma Brooke (as they shall henceforth be known) chugged inevitably onwards, with Emma setting herself up for a surely astonishing beating at NXT TakeOver London, Baron Corbin vs Apollo Crews was set in stone, and a contract signing went so typically awry. Full card (with finishes): The Vaudevillains vs Dawson & Wilder - NXT Tag Team Championship Match Dash Wilder pins Aiden English after a Shatter Machine. Asuka vs Dana Brooke Match waved off after an attack from Emma. Apollo Crews vs Jesse Sorenson Apollo hits a spin-out powerbomb for the pin. Eva Marie vs Bayley - NXT Women's Championship Match Bayley hits a top-rope Bayley-to-Belly for the victory.
