WWE NXT 23rd March 2016 - 5 Points to Note
Just one more episode to go before Takeover takes over on the weekend during Wrestlemania. They talked more about Shinsuke Nakamura and already got people excited for his debut match on NXT against Sami Zayn.
Zayn. Also, they had a pretty great promo for the NXT DVD. It was a nice touch about how everything started here for the future of WWE.There was a Finn Balor match on the cards and it wasn’t the main event, which was refreshing. On a sidenote-WWE should just go ahead and give Bayley and Asuka the main event spot for Takeover: Dallas.
Here are the 5 points to note from this week’s show -
Another match for Dallas
NXT began with a pumped up audience but all of that energy just died down when Elias Sampson’s music hit the arena and it was picked up somewhat when Johnny Gargano’s music hit. The match was short and began interesting the moment it ended when Gargano rolled up The Drifter after the audience was done chanting ‘Drift Away’ to the undefeated Sampson.
Gargano was able to pin Sampson and give him his first loss ever in NXT. That led to a vicious beatdown by the loser which led to Apollo Crews running in to make the save. Takeover seems to have another match added to it.
