NXT ran a new venue in St. Petersburg, FL tonight in front of a crowd of 250.

– Jack Gallagher defeated Steve Cutler

A corner dropkick by Gallagher for the win.

– Lana defeated Sarah Bridges

Lana hit a fisherwoman spinebuster for the win. She was a face here and even did a breakdance in the ring. She looked much improved from her last NXT run.

– Tian Bing defeated Kona Reeves

This was a physical match between two of the bigger men down here these days.

– An in-ring promo by Rich Swann was interrupted by Dan Matha who seemingly challenged him.

– Gran Metalik defeated Noam Dar

Dar was the heel here. A Metalik Driver got the win.

– Roderick Strong defeated Tommy End

This was one of the better matches I’ve seen in NXT this year, they were excellent together. Strong won with a Sick Kick.

– Mandy Rose defeated Daria Berenato

Rose hit the Angel’s Wings for the finish.

– WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann defeated Dan Matha

There was a huge mismatch in size here. Matha was manhandling Swann throughout by throwing him around, slamming him, and stretching him in holds until Swann fired up. Swann hit some kicks, used his speed, and finally rolled Matha up to get the flash pin.

– SAnitY (Big Damo, Alexander Wolfe & Eric Young) w/ Nikki Cross defeated Otis Dozovic, Tucker Knight & HoHo Lun

A well-paced, good match with everyone getting a chance to shine. Damo was just too much for Lun in all their exchanges but he wouldn’t quit. Wolfe and Damo hit the double team slam to finally pin Lun. Heavy Machinery cleared house after the match and hoisted Lun to their shoulders to send everyone home happy.
