NXT Tampa, FL, live results: Ciampa vs. Dream, Riddle vs. Martinez

Last night’s estimated attendance: 300 people.

– EC3 defeated Dan Matha

EC3 hit the One Percenter for the win.

– Xia Li defeated Chelsea Green

Li had a great showing here and won with a spinning kick.

– Matt Riddle defeated Punishment Martinez

They did everything you’d expect of these two. Martinez used torture racks, and Riddle hit the Bro to Sleep and Bro Stone. There were a lot of power moves and counters until Riddle won it with a knee strike.

– Humberto Carrillo & Raul Mendoza defeated Danny Burch in a handicap match

Burch claimed he didn’t know where Oney Lorcan was and faced these two alone.

– Lars Sullivan defeated Luke Menzies

Sullivan hit a pair of Freak Accidents to please the crowd.

– NXT UK Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley defeated Candice LeRae to retain her title

Great matchup — I’d like to see this on TV. Ripley was just too powerful for LeRae.

– War Raiders defeated Boa & Rocky (w/ Mansoor)

Mansoor berated Boa and Rocky for losing the match and then issued an open challenge, which was answered by Babatunde.

– Babatunde defeated Mansoor

Babatunde won with a huge slam.

– NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa defeated Velveteen Dream

A TakeOver preview match here. It opened as hard-hitting and they threw each other to the outside to brawl. Ciampa hit the draping DDT to get the win.
