WWE NXT 17th February 2016 - 5 Points to note
Another controversial finishThis episode was well hyped in advance for the match between Sami Zayn and Samoa Joe to determine the number one contender to the title that Finn Balor holds. After the controversial ending to the triple threat bout two weeks ago – where both of them made Baron Corbin submit – William Regal booked a singles match between the two to let the dust finally settle on who deserves to face Finn Balor.The opening match of the night saw an 8-man tag team showdown and it was more than just the chaos and was sort of a sign for the things to come.Here are the 5 points to note from this weeks’ show-
#1 Shadowed by controversy again.
Sami Zayn and Samoa Joe are so used to the level of performance in the main event that there is no doubt about this being worth the time that went into this story. Controversy seems to still hound them as both men had their shoulders down during the final pinfall of the match after both had each other covered.
The referee announced the match a draw with Willian Regal is still trying to get to the bottom of all of this and get a clear contender to Balor’s title. This cliffhanger could easily be countered by announcing a triple threat match for the title, but maybe NXT has something better in mind and given its history it is all worth the wait.
