Match #1: MoJo Rowley vs Bull Dempsey:
This wasn't much of a match as it lasted less than three minutes. Rowley won with the Hyper Driver.

Winner: MoJo Rowley via Pin. Big E's Match Rating: 1/5

Big E's Match Viewpoint:
I didn't like the match it was boring and too short.

There was supposed to be a match between Tyler Breeze and Sami Zayn but the match never took place because Zayn was attacked from behind while walking to the ring by Corey Graves. Graves threw Zayn into the steel ring post and it appeared it may have stained a concussion. The referees and medical staff helped him to the back.

Really disappointed the match didn't take place but it made sense as it adds more to the feud between Zayn and Graves.

Match #2: Adam Rose vs Camacho:
Adam Rose won again. The match lasted about five minutes.

Winner: Adam Rose via Pin. Big E's Match Rating: 1/5

Big E's Match Viewpoint:
The match was okay it was just another jobber match. I understand it was to put Adam Rose more over but hopefully in the next few weeks, he will have more longer matches and wrestler better opponents.

Match #3: Bayley w/ WWE Diva Natalya vs Sasha Banks w/Charlotte:
Bayley won with a reverse roll up in about four minutes.

Winner: Bayley via Pin. Big E's Match Rating: 1.5/5

Big E's Match Viewpoint:
It was an okay match better then the other two matches before this one. I felt it should of lasted little bit longer maybe like three more minutes given them about seven minutes.

Main Event, Match #4: Sheamus vs Aiden English:
This was a good back and forth match with Sheamus hitting his finisher the Brogue Kick. The match lasted about nine and half minutes.

Winner: Sheamus via Pin. Big E's Match Rating: 2.25/5

Big E's Match Viewpoint:
This was good match with some good action from both guys. I liked the neck-breaker that Aiden English did from the top rope. English showed some good skill in the ring. I hope that we see more of English in the coming weeks as I'm a fan of his. It was the first match I've seen of his but he really impressed me given the little time he had and who he was facing a former WWE and World Heavyweight champion.

The theme is for next week's show is "Vengeance". The matches schedule to take place is Tyler Breeze vs Xavier Woods, CJ Parker vs MoJo Rawley (Rematch from MXT Arrival), Women's Match: Charlotte vs WWE Diva Natalya and in the Main Event is a rematch of the NXT Championship between former NXT champion Bo Dallas and Adrian Neville. It looks like a fairly good card.

Big E's Final Thoughts:
I enjoyed this show this week besides the first two matches. It wasn't great but it was decent not as bad as the last two weeks. I liked the women's match even though it was really short and the Main event was pretty good as well. I wished we had seen the Breeze/Zayn match but as I said above I understand why. I hope we get to see a another match between Sami Zayn and Corey Graves in next few weeks. And I would like to see Sami Zayn vs Tyler Breeze as well.

Big E's Match Of the Night: Sheamus vs Aiden English.

Big E's NXT Rating: 5/10

Match #1: MoJo Rowley vs C.J. Parker:
This was a short match that lasted about three minutes. MoJo clotheslines Parker a few times before hitting the Hyperdrive for the win.

Winner: MoJo Rowley via Pin. Big E's Match Rating: 1/5

Big E's Match Viewpoint:
It was a boring match that really had no meaning. I'm assuming this feud is probably over now as I don't see why it needs to continue. MoJo wins another short match! I'm not a fan of the guy but he does have a lot of energy and a good personality.


Match #2:: Tyler Breeze vs Xavier Woods: Another short match this time it lasts a minute (four minutes) more then the Rowley/Parker match. Breeze hit Woods with the Beauty shot and got the victory.

Winner: Tyler Breeze via Pin. Big E's Match Rating: 1/5

Big E's Match Viewpoint:
Nothing much to say as it was another boring and short match. This was basically a filler match and I guess it's WWE/NXT's away of showcasing some of their young talent like Breeze and Woods. When will we ever see a long match by Breeze it seems like every time he has a match it either doesn't happen because somebody interferes or it lasts less than five minutes long. I like Breeze and wish they would put him in a longer match.

Match #3: Corey Graves vs Yoshi Tatsu:
It was another jobber match for Graves. Graves dominated the whole match working on the right leg of Tatsu. Graves made Tatsu tap out to his submission finisher Lucky 13 in about four minutes.

Winner: Corey Graves via Submission. Big E's Match Rating: 1/5

Big E's Match Viewpoint:
This was basically just to put Corey Graves more over as a heel. I'm a fan of Graves and hope he will have a feud with Sami Zayn. And then after that possibly a feud Adrian Neville for the NXT Championship. I think he should be next in line for the NXT Championship.

Match #4: Natalya w/WWE Hall of Framer, Bret Hart vs Charlotte w/Sasha Banks:
This was actually an okay match for the time they were given. The match lasted about five minutes after Banks came in the ring and attacked Natalya as she had the Sharpshooter locked in on Charlotte.

Winner: Natalya via DQ. Big E's Match Rating: 2/5

Big E's Match Viewpoint:
As I said this was an okay match for the time they were given. It wasn't anything special and Natalya pretty much carried the match. Charlotte the daughter of WWE Hall of Framer Ric Flair. Charlotte isn't great in the ring but she isn't horrible either she's fairly decent and as a lot to work on. But with time she may turn out to be fairly good and believe me WWE will give her time because of who her father is.

Main Event, NXT Championship Match: Bo Dallas vs Adrian Neville, (NXT Champion):
This match was a good 14 minute match. It want back and forth with plenty of action and near falls. Neville hit Dallas with a nasty super-kick in the corner and then went to the top and did a Imploding 450 Splash and got the 1-2-3 for the win to retain the NXT championship. Dallas looked out cold as the doctors and referees were checking on him. There was smoke in the air as Neville held the belt and NXT went of the air.

Winner: Adrian Neville via Pin and still NXT Champion. Big E's Match Rating: 3/5

Big E's Match Viewpoint:
This match was good match as both guys held their own in the ring. Bo Dallas really impress me, he's not great in the ring but he has improved and is a good worker. I'm starting to become a fan of Bo Dallas as he still needs some work. What else is there to say about Neville he is just that good in the ring and I can't wait to see him up on the main roster very soon hopefully sooner rather than later, like sometime this year hopefully. The Imploding 450 splash (backflip 450 Splash) that Neville did was amazing even the announces were shocked on how good it was

Big E's Final Thoughts:
The show was okay as the Main Event was pretty much the only good thing about the whole show. I did like the women's match little bit wish it didn't end the way it did but it is what is. I said this few weeks ago but I'll say it again I wish NXT (WWE) would stop trying to put as many matches in the show as possible it's really not that necessary as three matches of longer than five minutes would be fine.

Big E's Match of the Night: NXT Championship Match Bo Dallas vs Adrian Neville.

Big E's NXT Rating: 5.75/10
