Munchie's Breakdown!: WWE NXT (October 16th, 2014)


First review here in the era of the revolution, I'll keep things openly and honest here.






Baron Corbin vs Elias Samson

Ok. This guys needs to do something. I keep hearing how impressive this guy is but he's only done one move in his entire career so far. It's been weeks get it together.

Match Rating: 0/10


Sami Zayn Promo

Zayn comes out to a huge reaction, he talks about his loss to Titus O'Neil amongst his other losses. He says that he knows that he's better than that, and it's time for him to focus and become NXT Champion. Tyson Kidd interrupts wearing a Sami Zayn shirt and tells Sami to start facing and he's never gonna become NXT Champion. Full Sail hate Kidd lol. Zayn asked Tyson if he got Nattie's permission before coming out there, and tells him to cry himself to the back while he watches reruns of himself Total Divas. Tyson fires back with the "I rather be on Total Divas than Total Losers" line, he told Zayn that he'll win matches but not the big ones. Sami says he doesn't live in the past, he lives in the now and now is the beginning of his road to redemption. Kidd issues a challenge to Sami for tonight. Good segment.

Segment/Promo Rating: 3.5/5


Sin Cara and Kalisto vs Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake

Murphy and Blake so look like the Major Bros. lol. They were impressive against the Dragons, Murphy hit an impressive vertical suplex on Sin Cara. Buddy Murphy was probably the star of the match along with Kalisto who gets tagged in and stuns the crowd with his high risk maneuvers. Sin Cara wins with an avalanche wheelbarrow victory roll to Blake for the win. Short but sweet.

Match Rating: 7/10


Becky Lynch vs Charlotte

Nice back and forth, this might be one of Becky's best showing in NXT so far and the same goes for Charlotte. It started off with some mat wrestling and transitioned to some pretty athletic stuff. Charlotte go the upper hand, Lynch made the comeback but Charlotte manage to hit a neckbreaker before putting  Becky to rest with a Natural Selection.

Match Rating: 7/10


The Ascension Promo

It was very short but lets just say that I miss the creepy Ascension….

Segment/Promo Rating: 1.5/5



The Legionnaires vs The Jersey Boys

The match starts off with Cass hitting a scoop slam on Lefort, Lefort tags in Louis. As Louis gets in, Lefort accidentally pulled off the "Kurt Angle Style" wig. Marcus Louis turns into Kane(I swear to god Louis is Kane's son lol) Louis snaps and attacks his own tag partner, Enzo and Cass are looking on with the "Damn" facial expressions which killed me.

Match Rating: 0/10 (Segment: 2.5/5)


Carmella vs Leva Bates

Even though Leva was a jobber, it was great just to see her out there tonight. Enzo and Cass stays in the ring and introduces her as "Blue pants" and then introduced Carmella to the ring. The match was quick not even a full minute, Carmella picked up the win with a variation of the Figure Four Necklock.


Match Rating: 1.5/10



Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks Segment

Sasha Banks is in the mirror putting on her lipstick, Becky enters the room and tell Sasha that what she did to Bayley the other week was disgusting and that she hopes Sasha gets what's coming to her. Sasha feels no remorse and says the only thing that's coming to her is the NXT Championship and that she'll do whatever it takes to make it to the top. Sasha brought up Becky's loses to Charlotte and asked what is she going to do to make it to the top.

Segment/Promo Rating: 3.5/5



Sami Zayn vs Tyson Kidd

Tyson Kidd comes out with the "InZayn" shirt on, he takes it off and throws it at Zayn who then grabs it and throws it to the crowd. Both men start of with their usual match opening sequences with Zayn taunting Kidd and getting the crowd rallied up. Loud Olé chants for Sami. Great back and forth action from these two, so much chemistry here. You don't see matches like this on Raw every week, shows how underrated Tyson is and made Zayn look like a million bucks. Sami scores the win with the Helluva Kick and there's your match of the night!

Match Rating: 7.5/10

Diva Of The Night: Carmella
