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

Ups...

5. Grayson Waller Implements An Insurance Policy

Kicking off this week's 2.0 in the same vein as the last episode concluded, LA Knight was on the hunt for some Grayson Waller and wasn't going anywhere until the cocky boy from Oz met him in the ring.

Sure enough, the unexpectedly over babyface Knight got his wish in the end, well sort of, as Waller strutted into the CWC, restraining order in hand, to serve his fiery rival. Hilariously, it was quickly skated over how the 50ft order itself was likely being violated by their promo showdown last night alone. But, no matter, Knight had a plan B in the form of an also returning Dexter Lumis.

It was a little strange to send fans into a commercial break on the cliffhanger of "Would Waller choose to fight Lumis or tear up the order and battle Knight?", only to pick back up mid-way through a match with the former and kill all anticipation dead. But the pair's bout was decent enough as Waller derailed Lumis' various babyface comebacks effectively before the staring nut job finally looked to have the weasel of a star on the ropes coming into the closing stages.

However, adding a new layer to the despicable Waller gimmick, the introduction of Saurav Gurjar as the heel's "insurance policy" would ultimately cost Lumis a vital grudge win over the biggest pain in the ass in NXT.

You had to think Waller needed to bring in some kind of back-up after p*ssing off just about everyone in the land, and in Gurjar (former partner of the always coming Veer) he may just have found a man-mountain capable of keeping Knights and Freaks at bay for a little while longer.
