NXT: 5 Points to Note (20 December, 2017)
Christmas came early for fans of sports entertainment this Wednesday night. Only three matches happened in this very special episode of WWE NXT television, however, those three matches were absolutely incredible. They were definitely on par with NXT Takeover matches.
What made this such a special episode is that it went well beyond the 45 minute-1 hour mark that we're traditionally used to. Moreover, each of the matches had stakes, and well, we even saw a title change hands this week.
Before rushing into the thick of things, let us welcome you to this week's post-show recap article. Feel free to comment below, and let us know what you thought of the show.
Here are five points we noted that we felt like sharing with all of you.
#5 And your new NXT Tag Team Champions are...
This week, SAnitY defended their prized NXT Tag Team Championships against The Undisputed ERA, without Alexander Wolfe by their side. Adam Cole wasn't at ringside either at the start of the match. So, the Undisputed ERA would play fair, we thought. How wrong were we?
With the assistance of Adam Cole, Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly are your new NXT Tag Team Champions. Nikki Cross rushed in to even the odds, but she was led away, kicking and screaming, by two referees. This is a much-needed win for the heels who now have the gold, in addition to a few notable wins.
Despite the loss, Killian Dain looked absolutely indestructible in the ring. It's clear to see that he will be one of the major players in the company, going forward.
Let's see how long Fish and O'Reilly can hang on to their titles!
