NXT: 5 points to note (December 06, 2017)
NXT Takeover: WarGames is in the rearview mirror. A new season of NXT is underway right now. And what a main event match we had this week to kick things off into high gear. If this is an indication of things to come, we're all in for a treat.
It is human nature to fast forward, right into the thick of things. We really wish to talk about the main event of the evening, considering how amazing it was. However, we shall go about it in a more orderly manner, for your convenience and indeed, your reading pleasure (it'll still be the second thing we discuss).
Let's hope that this following NXT run, leading into the next Takeover is just as good as the one before it. Make Wednesday nights great again!
Let's begin this week's countdown with a very interesting talking point from this week's fun episode.
#5 A brand new tournament commences
One look at Drew McIntyre and it is easy to see why one may think that WWE sees a lot of potential in the man. He's got the look, he's great in the ring, and he's a fantastic promo too.
Unfortunately, while McIntyre's return to WWE yielded big results, as he became the NXT Champion in no time at all; he suffered an injury during his match against Andrade 'Cien' Almas. An injury that could keep him out of action, right until WrestleMania weekend.
In his absence, a tournament is being held to determine who the next contender for Andrade 'Cien' Almas will be. Two matches took place this week, and two more matches will happen on next week's show. The winners meet in a Fatal Four Way match.
Let's take a look at the two matches that transpired this week, starting with the more 'even' contest.
