5 Ups And 5 Downs From WWE NXT 2.0 (Jan 18)

3. Blade And Enofe Live To Fluke Another Day At The Expense Of Legado

Clearly nobody lays out the finishes for the entire night in advance on a whiteboard in the back of the CWC. If they did then we likely wouldn't have got a "surprise" roll-up win followed by yet ANOTHER "shock" small package victory in the very next match.

But that's precisely what happened and the fact that Legado del Fantasma have been done dirty yet again in this tag division despite being one of the most over teams NXT has to offer was another bitter pill to swallow from last night.

And to go with this painfully contrived and predictable turn of events, after Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde's comments earlier in the night of seeing MSK in the semis, the overall execution of the finish was poor, too. Instead of calling for a DQ after Escobar pulled the heel of Malik Blade in clear view of the ref, he was ordered to leave ringside. Then he lingered for many beats too long as Bron Breakker missed his cue to come out and bounce Santos' head off the apron before dragging him away for a bit and then dumping him on the ground. Message sent?

It sure was... if the message was that 2.0 have no plans to push Legado as future champs and are fully invested in pushing a pair of flukey losers who have zero chance of winning the Dusty Classic. What. A. Waste.
