WWE NXT house show report 8-8 Largo, FL
By Chris Hughes
Blake and Murphy did the meet and greet before the show but did not wrestle on the show.
– The Vaudevillains beat Jordan and Gable in the opener. Fast paced match that saw English pin Gable with their finish.
– Elias Samson pinned Riddick Moss with a running knee. Basic match, not much to it. Samson still going with the country singer gimmick.
– Mojo Rawley def. Tyler Breeze via DQ in a very short bout when Dash and Dawson interfered. It was announced that William Regal called show host Greg Hamilton and said Mojo could pick any two partners he wanted to face the trio in the main event.
– Eva Marie pinned Carmella with what looked like it was supposed to be a shining wizard, but didn’t quite connect. Eva got a negative reaction, but it was a star reaction. She was good at talking trash and screaming during her moves.
– Apollo Crews (Uhaa Nation) def. Solomon Crowe with a press slam and standing moonsault. Very good match — wouldn’t be surprised if this is the match at Takeover.
– Bayley and Gionna Daddio def. Dana Brooke and Nia Jax (formerly Lina). Big power moves by Nia on Gionna that got over. Bayley got the hot tag, Nia and Dana missed a double team move and Bayley hit the Bayley to belly on Dana for the win. Great reaction for Bayley as always.
– Bull Dempsey def. Angelo Dawkins with the whoopie cushion.
– Mojo Rawley, Enzo and Big Cass def. Tyler Breeze, Dash and Dawson in the main event.
Return date is Friday, September 25.
