I think everyone expected Ibushi to dominate, but Murphy looked good. He shut Ibushi down for a good part of the match and had some nice, hard-hitting moves. Ibushi was really good though. When he got control of the match, he was impressive. This match was pretty competitive and fun to watch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nSamoa Joe tells Charly Caruso that he feels disrespected by William Regal&#8217;s announcement of his next title defense.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nSamoa Joe heads to the ring. He wasn&#8217;t consulted before Regal named Nakamura as the number one contender, so he will not be competing for the title. William Regal comes out and says Joe will fight who he tells him to fight. Joe strongly suggests that they go to the back and decide a way to decide a contender that he feels in deserving. Regal says if Joe refuses to fight Nakamura then he will consider it a forfeit of the title. Joe agrees to the match, but issues a warning to Nakamura. Nakamura comes out and Joe is pissed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a pretty good show. Not great, but it had some good parts. I liked the use of Blake and Murphy trying to outdo each other as the bookend for the show, each one challenging a different guy that no one really thinks they can beat. It was also just cool to see Ibushi in NXT.<\/p>\n<p>I liked the Women&#8217;s match too. It wasn&#8217;t fantastic, but it was solid and showed that even though the main roster has kind of picked apart the NXT women&#8217;s division lately, there are still ladies with potential coming up in NXT.<\/p>\n<p>I like the young wrestlers shown on this show, but TM61 needs to start wrestling matches and stop treating their ring time just as showcases for flashy moves.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Buddy Murphy vs Kota Ibushi<\/strong><br \/>\nMurphy surprised me, and Ibushi delighted me.
