Cruiserweight Classic Recap & Review – Round 2, Part 2
Round two continues with more great matches!
Round two continues with more great matches!
Since this is the last episode of NXT before Takeover: Brooklyn, this show was basically a really long promo for the event (even though there were a couple of matches).
The second round begins in fantastic fashion as Gran Metalik looks to take down the veteran Tajiri, and tournament favorite Kota Ibushi has his work cut out for him with Cedric Alexander.
The matches were short, but things are shaping up nicely for Takeover.
The first round of the tournament ends with a great, emotional match between tag team partners Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.
Hideo Itami returns to the ring, Asuka tries to mess with Bayley’s head, Bobby Roode addresses the NXT Universe, and The Revival takes on TM61 in a show that pushes NXT towards Takeover.
Considering the recent draft, this show was a bit underwhelming, but it was fine.
The Brian Kendrick returns to a WWE ring in one of the best matches so far against a talented young luchador, Raul Mendoza.
Blake and Murphy bookend a solid, if not great, episode of NXT.
Renee Young and the panel talk about the matches at Battleground, Daniel Bryan and Mick Foley are in the Social Media Lounge, and The Usos face Breezango in an entertaining match.
Another good show with some more great moments.
A good show that felt a little like a continuation from last week in its changing of the guard due to the draft.
The last Main Event before the new rosters take effect was entertaining, if somewhat standard.
The first live SmackDown was a good show. There were decent matches that did well to maintain interest in Battleground, and the draft itself was entertaining, though maybe not completely shocking.
A great start to what promises to be a unique and exciting series of shows for WWE.
This was a good show. It had a great beginning, and the main event was nicely set up and well-executed.
A great show from start to finish.
A forgettable show with one exception: Neville vs Finn Balor.
This week’s episode of NXT wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. A pretty average show with announcements of exciting matches in the next few weeks.
Not many things might have been settled here, but this was a good show with some good, or at least interesting, matches.
