Universe Mode
Week 1
NXT
Location: San Diego, CA
Sami Zayn vs Tyler Breeze vs Hideo Itami- Light Heavyweight Title Match
The Vaudevillains vs Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady- NXT Tag Title Match
AJ Styles vs Baron Corbin
Paige vs Sasha Banks vs Bayley vs Emma- NXT Women's Title Match
Kevin Owens vs Finn Balor- NXT Championship Match, TLC Match
Summary:
The WWE continues it's tour of SoCal with a trip to San Diego for the first week of NXT. Up first, a triple threat for the Light Heavyweight Title. The match predictably stole the show, with all three competitors hungry for the title. Hideo would hit a GTS on Breeze, but Prince Pretty shockingly kicked out. Several more near falls occured, before Tyler Breeze hit a Supermodel Kick on Itami and a Beauty Shot on Zayn for the pin and the title. Up next, the NXT Tag Titles were to be decided, featuring the Vaudevillains and Enzo and Big Cass. The 'Villains used their technical wrestling, whereas Enzo and Cass relied on their tenacity. A big boot from Big Cass and a distraction from Enzo were enough to score the pin, the titles, and to send the NXT fans into a frenzy. The final of the three preliminary matches saw the debut of AJ Styles, as he took on the Lone Wolf, Baron Corbin. Corbin was more than ready to ruin the debut of Styles, even kicking out of the Styles Clash. Styles responded in kind, kicking out of the End of Days. With his best move countered, AJ pulled out the Phoenix Splash to get the pin and earn a debut win over a very game Corbin.
The first of our two main events saw a collection of four of the best female wrestlers to ever wrestle in NXT, and four of the best in the entire world. Old rivalries abounded in this match, with Paige-Emma and Sasha-Bayley. The action was fast and furious, with all four women pulling out some of their best offense. The ending came unexpectedly, with Paige and Emma brawling on the outside, Bayley hit two Bayley to Bellys on Sasha to walk away with the gold. The massive main event featured two of the best in NXT history, Kevin Owens and Finn Balor. Balor got the advantage early on, hitting a Coup de Grace very early in the matchup. Balor continued to get close to seizing the title, but Owens was doing everything in his power to prevent it. It was Balor in the end, however, that managed to beat Owens up the ladder and hold the gold. (Note: I have to stop using ladder matches, because the AI is horrible. Also, the NXT set apparently can't handle a TLC match, as there were no tables or chairs available. Though who was really surprised that Owens and Balor disappointed?)
That ends the first episode of NXT. The first four matches on the card were incredible, and the main event stunk up the joint. Sounds like NXT to me! Up next, the end of week 1 with Thursday Night Smackdown. After that show finishes, I'll post the list of champions, which will be updated every time a title changes hands.
