NXT Sacramento, CA, live results: Gargano vs. Itami

Report submitted by Roy Lucier

– No Way Jose beat Cien Almas 

Hot crowd to start, decent opener.

– Sarah Logan and Ruby Riot beat Sonia Deville and Mandy Rose 

Great match. Mandy did Omega style running knees during the match. Finish looked weak (Riot with an enzuigiri to Rose), but a amazingly great match.

– Lars Sullivan beat Oney Lorcan 

Five minute match, David and Goliath style. Lars won with his choke slam variant.

– Killian Dane beat Kassius Ohno  

Dane won with the Vader bomb. Good match, went about 8-10 minutes.

– NXT Women’s champion Asuka beat Ember Moon and Nikki Cross in a Triple Threat match to retain her title

Lots of near falls and impressive, impactive moves. Went about 20 minutes 

William Regal came out during intermission to thank the fans for attending. No Way Jose came out and danced with Regal, referee Drake Wuertz, and the ring announcer.

– Sanity (Eric Young/Alexander Wolfe) beat Authors Of Pain by DQ in an NXT tag title match

Good heat the entire match. EY did an elbow drop for a near fall and Akim pulled the ref out of the ring for the DQ.

– Johnny Gargano beat Hideo Itami

Gargano submitted Itami with the STF . Incredible match. Itami played full heel here, and got incredible heat. Went about 20-23 minutes 

– NXT Champion Bobby Roode, Tino Sabatelli, and Riddick Moss beat Drew McIntyre, Roderick Strong and Aleister Black

Really good main event. This gave Moss and Tino a chance to work a lot with the three faces. Roode pinned Drew with a schoolboy. After the match, Drew challenged the three heels to a Sacramento Street Fight. The heels ran to the ring but Roode stopped and the faces beat up Tino and Moss.
