JOE VS. TYE, ALEXA VS. ASUKA & MORE: 5/26 WWE NXT IN LAKELAND, FLORIDA REPORT

By Michael Astin on 2016-05-27 08:28:00

I went to the WWE NXT house show in Lakeland, Florida last night.  Really small venue, which added to the authenticity and the uniqueness of the experience.

*No Way Jose pinned Hugo Knox.  All silliness with Jose using the dancing deal to get a big reaction from the crowd and drive Knox batty.

*Alex Wolf and Sawyer Fulton beat TM-61.  Really surprised to see TM-61 take the loss here.  Solid big men vs. smaller men with more finesse bout.

*Tino Sabbatelli pinned Patrick Clark.  Breaking Ground vs. Tough Enough.  OK match.

*WWE NXT Tag Team Champions American Alpha beat The Authors Of Pain.  Authors are masked team.  Pretty good stuff.  Gable and Jordan are main roster ready.

*NXT Women's champion Asuka forced Alexa Bliss to submit.  Bliss was working hard here and plays a great heel to the crowd.

*Bayley and Liv Morgan defeated Lana and Nicola Glencross.   Pretty good.  Lana did some mic work before the match to rile up the audience.  Bayley looked awesome.

*Andrade Cien Almas pinned Elias Samson.  Samson sang.  Ugh.  First time seeing Almas live and he might be the next big Hispanic star for the company.  There's a good presence to him.

*Murphy of the former Blake & Murphy group did a promo about trying to win back Alexa Bliss.  He got wiped out by Tye Dillinger who said he wasn't a Perfect 10 like him.

*NXT champ Samoa Joe pinned Tye Dillinger with the Muscle Buster.  Dillinger and Joe had a good match and the story was that Tye could hang with Joe.
