WWE NXT Results 10th May 2017, Latest NXT winners, review and video highlights
Another week, another exhilarating episode of NXT. Just a couple of weeks away from NXT TakeOver: Chicago, we finally learned who Bobby Roode would face for the NXT Championship. We also got updates on the Tag-Team and Women's Championship matches.
Aleister Black vs Cezar Bonani
This week’s episode of NXT kicked off with one of NXT’s latest signings – Aleister Black. The “anti-hero” has been unstoppable since his NXT debut and faced Cezar Bonani tonight.
Bonani trash-talked Black as the match began and Black replied with a kick to the head that sent Bonani rolling out to ringside. Black then looked like he’d hit a suicide dive but ended up doing a somersault from to middle rope into his trademark pose in the middle of the ring.
Bonani came charging back in but Black dodged his offence and hit a switch kick. Bonani replied with an atomic drop and a dropkick. He followed it up with clubbing blows to the back of the head but they had no effect on Black who hit back with a jumping knee and followed it up with another knee strike to the back of the head. When Bonani got back to his feet, Black hit him with the Black Mask before covering him to pick up the win.
Aleister Black def. Cezar Bonani
After the opening match, we got footage from last week’s battle royal for the #1 contendership for the NXT Women’s Championship.
Following this, we got backstage footage of William Regal telling Asuka that her match would be a Fatal-4-Way match.
We then learned that Ember Moon was injured following Asuka’s attack last week, which meant that the match would now be a triple threat match.
Interview with Nikki Cross
The interview segment was as bizarre as Nikki Cross is portrayed to be. She refused to put on a lapel mic and kept on smacking the overhead mic instead of answering the interviewer’s questions.
She finally looked into the camera and promised to vanquish Ruby Riot and take everything from Asuka at TakeOver: Chicago.
