The Judge, who thought The Cure was a good band (bull-s–t), said that he had never heard about diabetes making someone violent. Chochco pulled his fingers out of his ass and replied,...

Msk once again treated the Nxt Universe to smorgasbord of jaw-dropping maneuvers, but they ran into an equally explosive team for the first time in their scintillating tournament run. Wes Lee followed Nash Carter’s moonsault off the apron with a flying tope to the outside, and Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde later answered with a springboard missile dropkick followed by a huge poison rana.

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a bunch of bull… (Nathan is shot). I’ve been…shot! Fredo! Why did you betray me? Fredo: …because I’m Al…Al Fredo. Me: You sunuvabitch! I’m gonna get yo’ ass! This is the day you made the biggest mistake of your life! Fredo: What’s that? Not shooting you a second time? I thought of that… (shoots again…and again…and again). Me: Ow…pain hurts. You ain’t gonna get away with this ya’…bastard. (coughs) Fredo: Hey…I’m Al Fredo. If my mother had kept her maiden name, I woulda been Al Lamode. (shoots again) Good luck finishing your review when you’re sleeping with the fishes.

Match #1: Candice LeRae def. Shotzi Blackheart The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Shotzi Blackheart may have surprised Candice LeRae early, using mat-based wrestling to ground The Poison Pixie instead of her usual high-flying repertoire. LeRae answered, pulling Blackheart into the Gargano Escape until Blackheart countered with a knee to the face and followed by spiking LeRae with a Ddt. Blackheart looked to be setting up for her top-rope senton before Indi Hartwell distracted her, and LeRae capitalized by hitting a huge spinning neckbreaker off the second rope for the victory.
My Opinion: 3.5 out of 5
Match #2: The Grizzled Young Veterans def. Ever-Rise in a Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic First-Round Match The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Despite being massive underdogs, Ever-Rise stunned The Grizzled Young Veterans early with a quick start. Zack Gibson & James Drake eventually isolated Chase Parker, but Parker found a way to tag in Matt Martel,...

Match #1: Cameron Grimes def. Dominik Dijakovic The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Dominik Dijakovic isn’t done pursuing Keith Lee’s North American Championship, but he’s not the only one with his eyes on the gold. Thanks to Damian Priest, Cameron Grimes staked his claim as a potential title contender with a win over The Rare Breed. Dijakovic was seemingly poised to finish The Technical Savage following a second-rope moonsault to the outside, but Priest arrived to strike Dijakovic in the leg with a steel pipe before quickly making himself scarce.

Match #1: Jordan Devlin def. Lio Rush – Nxt Cruiserweight Championship Match The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Jordan Devlin has the talent, and a mean streak — and that combination is going to make it difficult for any challenger to take away his Nxt Cruiserweight Title. Lio Rush, who earned an opportunity at The Irish Ace by knocking off Angel Garza, found that out first hand this week. The hard-hitting Devlin kept Rush on the mat for much of the bout, unable to get his offense off the ground. The Man of The Hour eventually broke through with a spectacular avalanche poison rana followed by The Come-Up — but Devlin managed to drape his right boot on...

In the wake of Finn Bálor’s vicious parking lot assault on Trent Seven one day earlier — a warning to stay out of his business with Johnny Gargano — the two Superstars squared off in Nxt’s opening matchup. The match was intense from the word “go.” Taking full advantage of The Big Strong Boi’s bruised larynx that he suffered as a result of his adversary’s attack, Bálor dominated the majority of the contest.

May 29, 2014. The date of the very first Nxt TakeOver show. Man… that was over five years ago, and in the time since that show aired live in the WWE Network, we’ve seen so much change. Not just in Nxt, but in WWE in general and in the world of pro-wrestling. Going back to that first show highlights not only how much has changed, but how far Nxt as a brand has come. It’s about to go live every week on the USA Network as a two-hour show, head-to-head with the first potential wrestling competition to WWE in years, Aew. The landscape of wrestling is different now. Going back, for the sake of this article to watch every Nxt TakeOver show was no small undertaking. There’s been 26 (28 including the UK TakeOver shows) of them to date.

In the opening contest, Tyler Bate & Trent Seven tried their luck against the primitive tandem of Wild Boar & Primate. In the final moments of their hard-fought contest, The Big Strong Boys indeed proved themselves to be kings of the jungle when they utilized the springboard clothesline into the dragon suplex to tame the wild beasts.

James Drake & Zack Gibson defeated Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven) – Nxt UK Tag Team Championship Tournament Finals Match

Both teams were made to look formidable at every turn, which is how all title matches should be. This bout was given the proper amount of time to make an impact and will stand the test of time as one of the best matches produced by this league.

After tasting weeks of defeat, Sid Scala went to Nxt UK General Manager Johnny Saint for an opportunity and walked out of the Gm’s office with a future match against Joe Coffey. However, still not medically cleared this week, Scala instead emerged to introduce Coffey’s replacement opponent, Tyler Bate – just weeks after The Coffey Brothers and Wolfgang attacked Moustache Mountain backstage. Though Bate’s explosive office proved effective against Coffey early on, the distraction by emerging Mark Coffey and Wolfgang allowed the Iron King to take change with a brutal offense. The former U.K.

Match #1: “Bomber” Dave Mastiff def. Damien Weir The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
Damien Weir was certainly wishing he never laced up his boots when he kicked off Nxt UK against Dave Mastiff. “The Bomber” absolutely laid waste to his outmatched opponent from the start, tossing him around like a rag doll, hurling himself at his unfortunate prey and picking up the win over his flattened opponent.
My Take: 2.5 out of 5 – This was the good kind of 2.5. Mastiff is a great talent and Weir ain’t too bad himself. There was some creative stuff while it lasted and is worth taking a look at.

Match #1: “Bomber” Dave Mastiff def. Damien Weir The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
Damien Weir was certainly wishing he never laced up his boots when he kicked off Nxt UK against Dave Mastiff. “The Bomber” absolutely laid waste to his outmatched opponent from the start, tossing him around like a rag doll, hurling himself at his unfortunate prey and picking up the win over his flattened opponent.
