NXT Spokane, WA, live results: Samoa Joe vs. Austin Aries: Balor & Nakamura team up

Submitted by David Dufvenberg

– Elias Sampson vs No Way Jose

Couldn’t even hear what Sampson tried singing he had so much heat. Mid match a “You like Nickelback” chant broke out which was hilarious. Jose won with his full nelson slam.

– Mojo Rawley vs Murphy

Pretty much blah but I’m not a big fan of either. Murphy’s prematch antics were like old school HHH. Mojo won, missed the finisher, crowd wasn’t too into it either.

– Bayley vs Nia Jax

Really good. Crowd was nuts for Bayley. Jax mid-match pranced around mocking Bayley which was a funny sight. Was close to being as good as their Takeover match. Bayley won with a roll up after Jax missed a tackle in the corner.

– Nakamura and Finn Balor vs The Revival

Good match. Crowd was way hot for Balor and Nakamura. Hard to tell who was more over. Nakamura must be being protected because he mainly did his big spots. Balor won hitting his finisher on both men.

– After intermission, William Regal came out to our joy saying thank you.

– NXT Women’s Champion Asuka vs Alexa Bliss

Surprisingly really good and the crowd bought a couple of Alexa’s near falls. Asuka ended up winning with the chicken wing.

– NXT Tag Team Champions American Alpha vs Tino and Tucker

Decent. Tino is a physical specimen but that’s about it. Gable is crazy over as well. They won with their usual finisher that I forget the name of.

– NXT Champion Samoa Joe vs Austin Aries

Best match by far. Duel chants for both throughout the match. Aries had a nice near fall hitting the 450 but Joe got his foot on the rope. Joe won with the muscle buster. After it was over Aries scooted to the ropes and put his foot on one. Then as he left, he somehow got a banana and was eating it.
