This
is another one of those shows where you can’t really guess what’s
coming. We get one of these episodes every taping cycle but they can
be very entertaining most of the time. Last week wasn’t the best
show for these guys but unlike everywhere else, I have full
confidence that NXT can be fine again tonight. Let’s get to it.

today Sylvester LeFort asks the mysterious blonde what is wrong with
Alexander Rusev. The girl speaks Russian and LeFort has no idea what
she’s saying.

LeFort vs. Alexander Rusev
LeFort vs. Alexander Rusev
The
Russian blonde is now managing Rusev, who now comes out to what
sounds like a national anthem. LeFort offers Rusev money to prevent
an acute case of death, only to have Rusev clothesline him down and
put on the Accolade for the submission at 13 seconds.

Bayley
is with Charlotte in the back and couldn’t be happier to have her
headband fixed. Sasha and Summer come in with a brand new headband
for her but Charlotte is skeptical. No match is made but I think you
can connect the dots for yourself.

Local vs. Leo Kruger
Local vs. Leo Kruger
Local
pounds away to start but walks into a quick spinebuster for two.
Kruger pulls Local off the middle rope and the Slice sets up three
straight snap suplexes. A double arm guillotine choke is enough to
make Local tap at 2:10.

McClain/Travis Tyler vs. Ascension
“LET’S
GO THESE GUYS!” Non-title of course. Rick Victor starts with I
believe Tyler and drives him into the Ascension corner for the tag
off to O’Brien. Conor grabs a headlock and takes Tyler over six
straight times before bringing Victor back in for a hard clothesline.
There’s the double flapjack and the Fall of Man is good for the pin
at 1:45.

Rawley vs. Ty Dillinger
Rawley vs. Ty Dillinger
Feeling
out process to start as the male announcers grill Renee on which guy
she’d want to hang out with. As usual though, it feels completely
natural and is genuinely amusing. Ty drives Mojo into the corner and
scores with a quick Russian legsweep. Rawley no sells a chop but is
easily taken down into a chinlock. Ty rips at Mojo’s face for a bit
but gets slammed down and rammed into the corner. A very high
jumping Earthquake splash is enough to pin Dillinger at 3:20.

Rating:
D. Again, Rawley isn’t anything
special in the ring but his entrance and energy are more than enough
to carry him for a good while. I’m not sure why they have him get
beaten down from the start of the match and hit just a few moves, but
it was enough to get Randy Savage a few WCW Titles so maybe Rawley
will be fine.

Harper vs. Kassius Ohno
Harper vs. Kassius Ohno
The
fans are way into Harper here. Ohno is now in basic black trunks
instead of the bright colors he wore before he fell into a hole and
got lost a few months back. Kassius pounds him into the corner to
start but Harper comes back with even harder forearms to the face.
They slug it out again with Harper putting Kassius down with a
European uppercut of all things. Ohno is driven into the corner as
this is one sided so far.

Kassius
comes back with some kicks to the ribs but gets caught in a cravate.
Another hard chop puts Ohno on the apron but Kassius comes back with
a discus forearm to send Harper to the floor. A dive over the top
takes Luke down and we take a break. Back with Harper hitting a BIG
boot to send Ohno out to the floor. Ohno dives back in at nine so
Luke drops a bunch of elbows for two. A quick rollup gets the same
for Kassius but Luke nails him with another forearm.

There’s
the Gator Roll from Harper who eventually stays in one place with the
front facelock before kicking Ohno into the ropes again. Back up and
Ohno scores with a running knee to the head to finally get the fans
behind him. Ohno slugs away and scores with a running clothesline
and a dropkick to the head.

A
Buff Blockbuster (someone needs to bring that back as a finisher)
gets two on Harper but he catches Kassius in a sitout Boss Man Slam
for two. There’s a bit boot for two on Ohno but he comes back with
the Roaring Elbow for a VERY close two. Harper ends him with the
discus lariat a few seconds later for the pin at 13:00 shown of
16:30.

Rating:
C+. They were trying and the
striking was good but Ohno has fallen a long way in just a few
months. Kassius looked better out there and got the fans into him,
but Harper is a main roster star at this point and feuding with two
former world champions. That discus lariat is a good example of a
simple move getting over because it gets pins. It’s really that
simple sometimes.

Overall
Rating: C. Not a great show
overall but it was a very quick 45 minutes. Rusev and Harper looked
great and Ohno was his usual decent self. This was about the
squashes which set up future matches so no real complaints there.
The show needs the stars back but it’s certainly not falling apart in
their absence.
