NXT Bethlehem, PA, live results: McIntyre vs. Almas

Submitted by reader Chris Williams

– The Street Profits defeated Tino Sabbatelli & Riddick Moss

This match had a lot of taunting but was very entertaining. The crowd loved the Profits, with Sabbatelli getting “steroid” chants directed at him. He engaged with the fans and talked back to them a lot.

The Profits won with a frog splash from Montez Ford. After it was over, the referee took a sip from their Solo cup and started dancing with them. They jumped over the barricade after to celebrate with the audience.

– Lars Sullivan defeated Oney Lorcan

They had a short, physical match. The crowd was into this one too.

– Peyton Royce & Billie Kay defeated Dakota Kai & Liv Morgan

This was the weakest match so far. The crowd liked a spot where all four ran circles around the ring and chased each other for almost an entire minute, but other than that the audience was pretty restless.

– Roderick Strong defeated Hideo Itami

As expected, they had a great match. It was very physical. Strong got tons of “Roddy” chants and gave Itami a lot of backbreakers. Strong won with his suplex into a double knee backbreaker.

– SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain) defeated The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly) by countout

Cole, Fish, and O’Reilly got a great reaction, including nonstop “Adam Cole Bay-Bay!” chants. They were on the outside and teased coming back into the ring, then waved it off and went up the ramp to give SAnitY the win by countout.

– Johnny Gargano defeated Raul Mendoza

This was the best match of the night. Mendoza went from unknown to crowd favorite, and Gargano got a huge reaction as expected. The match got “This is awesome” chants as well.

The best spot was when Mendoza had Gargano tied in the tree of woe and did a coast-to-coast dropkick to him. Gargano did his usual spear and lawn dart spots before winning with the Gargano Escape. He shook Mendoza’s hand after and left him in the ring alone for a couple minutes while the crowd chanted Mendoza’s name. Great stuff.

– Kairi Sane defeated Sonya Deville 

Sane got the biggest reaction of everyone, including Gargano and Cole. The match was solid and Sane used her flawless elbow drop to finish it. It was Sane’s birthday, so the crowd chanted happy birthday for her.

– NXT Champion Drew McIntyre defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas to retain his title

Lots of people left during their entrances. They had a good match, with McIntyre retaining with the Claymore. Almas teased using chair shots in this one and McIntyre did the air guitar taunt after the crowd chanted 3MB.
