NXT 13th January 2016 - 5 Points to Note
Asuka was a huge favorite foing into the Battle RoyalNXT kicked off its first show of the year from Full Sail University. Zayn was there, Bayley was there, Regal was there and so were promos from Balor, The Realest Guys In The Room and finally the Year End Awards which were so apt.And they chose the main event to be a womens battle royal to determine Bayley’s next opponent keeping in mind the theme of the season with the Royal Rumble on its way.It was a good show with just a few misses but a hero’s welcome for Zayn was enough to amp up the levels. Such great babyfaces this show has with Zayn and Bayley but Joe and Marie win for being the best heels.Here are the 5 points to note from NXT-
#1 First main event of the year
Coming into this match, Eva Marie was ecstatic that Nia Jax couldn’t compete and every other women had their little snippets as to why they’ll win.
Marie being the total diva she is went out of the ring after Asuka delivered a stiff kick to her. Asuka relished being in the ring with such overwhelming competition and then Emma attacked her and the match took over.
Loved this match. Not because it was a classic but it was legit surprising. Going into the match the women who would be deemed as favorites or had a decent chance of winning were Asuka, Eva Marie, Emma or maybe Alexa Bliss but none of them won.
Carmella eliminated Eva Marie to become the new contender for the NXT Women’s Championship and if you watch Breaking Ground you know there’s this thing called ‘BayMella’. Carmella and Bayley are best friends. It’ll be interesting to see this story unravel.
P.S. Asuka was smiling, that’s never good news for whom she’s smiling at but always interesting.
