NXT Takeover: Rival 2/11/15

[Rogue]

Hug lyfe was snubbed again, darn.

 

[Jacob Fox]

They did a great job keeping Charlotte looking strong though. Probably means she is moving on soon. That was a great match.

 

[Majour]

That was really great.

 

[Majour]

Great video package.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Another six months and Kevin Steen could be completely rid of that gut...

 

[CrayJ Lee]

I wish the Divas on the main roster were utilized the way NXT has with their women's division, and could put on high quality matches that demonstrate their true abilities. On that note, I am SO happy to see Sasha Banks as the new women's champion. She's tremendous and I can't wait to see what her title reign will be like.

 

[Trip in the Head]

Wtf?

 

[Majour]

Wow. Not really sure how I feel about this, totally not what I expected.

 

[Trip in the Head]

Whoa. Called it though

 

[Majour]

Guess it makes sense if Zayn is being written off for a while. But, idk...

 

[Jacob Fox]

Can't say I honestly thought it would happen. That was just sort of unpleasant to watch though... like in 1999 Royal Rumble when Rock hit Foley in the head over and over with the chair...

 

[Rogue]

K.O with that KO, nice.

 

[Majour]

I don't think I liked the ending.

I'm pretty much:

 

[Rogue]

The match itself kinda fell flat(as did much of the event itself), but the ending adds more fuel to the fire. Zayn was never pinned so he's entitled to a rematch, and it allowed Owens to look strong. Zayn also not being on the next set of tapings allows them to really sell the injury which won't make the return feel rushed. The rivalry might've started quick, but the slow burn will allow it to run its course without being played out.

dat balor-nevelle match though
