NXT Venice, FL, live results: Ricochet teams with Kacy Catanzaro


Submitted by Louis Izzo
– The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) defeated Kassius Ohno & Dominik Dijakovic
Good opener. Ohno and Dijakovic teased a heel role, but it turned out to be a babyface vs. babyface match. Ford pinned Dijakovic after hitting a frog splash.
– Reina Gonzalez defeated Xia Li
Short match. Gonzalez won with a lariat.
– War Raiders (Hanson & Rowe) defeated The Mighty (Shane Thorne & Nick Miller)
War Raiders mostly dominated this match, with The Mighty playing off them well. War Raiders were probably the second most popular act on the show, only behind Ricochet.
– Dan Matha defeated Jeet Rama
Matha cut a heel promo before the match and challenged an international member of the roster. They had a very basic, and thankfully short, match. Matha won with a delayed suplex that looked like it was intended to be a jackhammer.
– Io Shirai & Dakota Kai defeated Bianca Belair & Lacey Evans
Decent but uneventful. Shirai pinned Evans with a moonsault.
– Keith Lee defeated Kona Reeves
Reeves still works the same match he did before the gimmick change. There was lots of playing to the crowd, and Lee won with his fireman’s carry into a powerslam.
– Raul Mendoza defeated Mansoor
They had a sloppy match, but it was decent. Mendoza won with a fisherman buster.
– NXT North American Champion Ricochet & Kacy Catanzaro defeated Velveteen Dream & Vanessa Borne
Good match, but the restrictions of the mixed tag rules made some false tag spots meaningless. Ricochet took out Dream on the floor with a plancha and assisted Catanzaro on a Sliced Bread #2 for the win.
