WWE NXT Results 19th July 2017, latest NXT winners, review and video highlights
This week's episode of NXT saw Killian Dain taking on Drew McIntyre to see who would be facing Bobby Roode at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III.
We also saw Ember Moon taking on Ruby Riot in a match that was set up with a backstage segment last week.
Ember Moon vs Ruby Riot
NXT kicked off with Ember Moon taking on Ruby Riot. Both these women think they should be the #1 contender for the NXT Women’s Championship.
The two women traded pinning combinations soon after the bell rang but none of them managed to get the other down for the 3 count. The two women locked up and Ember hit a head scissors. Ruby Riot replied with a monkey flip after bouncing off the ropes. Ember Moon landed on her feet as fans started to chant “This is wrestling”.
The two women locked up in a test of strength and Ruby got the better of it and hit a couple of deep armdrags followed by a spinning hurracanrana. Ruby followed up with a headlock but Ember got free and tripped Ruby Riot before locking in a Bow and Arrow submission.
Riot got free and drove Ember’s face into the turnbuckle. She followed it up with a Saito Suplex for the 2-count. Ember replied with a flurry of kicks followed by a beautiful backbreaker/flatliner combo. As Ruby Riot struggled to get back to her feet, we headed into a commercial break.
When we came back. Ruby Riot was on the top rope and she flew off and hit a Senton. She followed it up with a cover but it was still just a 2-count. Riot’s right leg looked hurt as she charged in to hit Ember with a running knee but ended up running into the turnbuckle. Ember hit her with a spinning side slam before heading up to the top rope, looking for the Eclipse.
Riot got on her feet and hit Ember with a forearm before hitting a Frankensteiner from the top rope. However, she still just managed a 2-count.
Ember made her way back up to her feet and countered a kick with a rolling discus forearm. Riot looked to hit back with a clothesline but Moon dodged it and hit a Shotgun Kick to Ruby Riot’s jaw. Ember followed it up with a running forearm to the corner before heading to the top rope and hitting the Eclipse for the 3-count.
Ember Moon def. Ruby Riot
An incredible match to kick off this week’s episode of NXT.
We got a backstage segment where we saw Hideo Itami interrupting Kassius Ohno who was in the middle of an interview for asking for a match with him.
Itami looked physically angry as he kicked a trash can and walked away.
