WWE NXT Results 20th December 2017, latest NXT winners, review and video highlights
As the year comes to a close, NXT gave us one of the episodes of the year. There were two title matches, one qualifying match for the Fatal-4-Way and absolutely no filler. Not to mention, we also got another match of the year candidate.
Killian Dain and Eric Young (C) vs Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly (for the NXT Tag-Team Championships)
NXT kicked off with a massive tag-team match and Killian Dain and Bobby Fish got us under way. Fish backed off at the prospect of facing Dain and tagged in O’Reilly. Fish tagged himself back in and threw a number of punches that had no effect. He then tried to lock in a sleeper hold before O’Reilly came in. Dain threw O’Reilly out of the ring and took Fish down.
The Undisputed Era members regrouped and O’ Reilly tagged himself in at the same time as Eric Young. EY hit a series of kicks before hitting a number of strikes in the corner. As EY looked to build momentum, Fish took his legs out from under him while he was on the apron and we headed to commercial.
When we returned from the break, EY was cornered in Fish and O’Reilly’s corner as they traded tags. O’Reilly took Young down with a legsweep for a nearfall. The two men traded knee strikes when Young hit a swinging neckbreaker as both men went down. O’ Reilly made the tag first and Fish went right at Dain and struck him on the face. Dain tried to force his way into the ring but the referee stopped him.
Fish and O’Reilly traded tags and continued the beating. Young launched O’Reilly out of the ring and low-bridged Bobby Fish, sending him out too. Young fought O’Reilly off again and made the tag. Dain came in and cleaned house, hitting a senton-dropkick combo before hitting Fish with a Michinoku Driver onto O’ Reilly. Fish broke up the cover.
Young and Dain looked to have O’Reilly isolated when Fish low-bridged Dain out of the ring. Young looked to have a top rope elbow drop set up when Adam Cole came out took him down. O’Reilly took advantage with an Axe Kick-Forearm combo, but only managed a nearfall. Nikki Cross came running out of the crowd and wiped out Adam Cole as referees came out to restrain her.
Young took advantage of the break in the action to hit a leaping neckbreaker for another nearfall. Adam Cole saw the tide turning and tried to get into the ring but Dain pulled him out. Cole sent Dain face first into the ring post but got wiped out himself as Young hit a suicide dive.
This turned out to be a critical mistake as Fish and O’Reilly hit him with a legsweep-neckbreaker combo for the win. We have new NXT Tag-Team Champions, Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly.
