FINN & NAKAMURA TEAM: 4/22 NXT RESULTS FROM KINGSTON, RI

By Anthony Pires on 2016-04-22 23:40:00

 About 3,000 in attendance for a building set up for approximately 3,500

1.  Chris Girard (Boston product) beat Mojo Rawley, who did a SPECTACULAR job playing the heel here

2.  Bayley and Carmella beat Dana Brooke and Alexa Bliss when Bayley hit the Bayley to Belly on Brooke.  This was a lot of fun and the place went nuts for Bayley, the first top star of the night.

3.  Manny Andrade pinned Riddick Moss.  Andrade was very impressive.

4.  American Alplha beat the Revival in around 20-25 minutes to retain the NXT tag team title.  GREAT match!  Match of the night.  Revival actually scored the pin on Jordan after a switcheroo that the ref caught

5.  Post Intermission, Austin Aries pinned Tomasso Ciampa. Tomasso, to me, was the one who came off like a star.  Aries wasn't really on point here, even having to re-do his elbow spot.  His 450 to set up the pin was great.

6.  Asuka retained the NXT title, beating Peyton Royce with the Asuka Lock.  This was great, believe it or not.  They've definitely got something in Royce, who looked very good.  Credit to Asuka for selling Royce's offense and giving her 30% of the match

7.  Finn Balor & Shinsuke Nakamura beat Elias Samson & Samoa Joe.  Joe kept avoiding getting in at first, only tagging in with the advantage.  Crowd went NUTS when it was Nakamura and Joe in there.  Samson has his working boots on here.  Balor with the pin on the Drifter after a brain buster.
