As usual, The Revival used all sorts of great teamwork and tricks. Alexander and Almas looked pretty good as a team with some good saves for each other, but Almas was in trouble for a long time. That probably led to what happened next&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Almas snaps and viciously attacks Alexander.

I liked one of the two tournament matches, and I enjoyed seeing Joe ruin a debut that&#8217;s been given promos for the last few weeks. I wasn&#8217;t all that jazzed to see Matha anyway, but I like that it seems like they intentionally built it up for Joe to just break it down.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure about Patrick Clark&#8217;s gimmick though. It seems they&#8217;re going the stereotypical &#8220;eccentric&#8221; route when they have the opportunity to do something much less offensive. And it all starts with how the announcers treat it. I wasn&#8217;t impressed in this episode. We&#8217;ll see if it continues though.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Andrade &#8220;Cien&#8221; Almas &amp; Cedric Alexander vs The Revival<\/strong><br \/>\nIt seems like any match with The Revival will always be one of the best matches of the night. They&#8217;re just as great with the little touches they put into their matches as they are with big moments. I kind of want them to never leave NXT.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic starts with one squash and one good match, Samoa Joe ruins Dan Matha&#8217;s debut, Patrick Clark debut&#8217;s a new look when he faces Rich Swann, and Peyton Royce beats up a new girl with her friend Billie Kay by her side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[255,297,622],"tags":[1040,850,1067,749,854,1078,786,916,535,1082,1081,546,553,668,1079,1080,549,931,904,677,871,885,567,884,852,682,1039,776,170,552,830,1133,570,672,7],"class_list":["post-1978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nxt","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-akam","tag-andrade-cien-almas","tag-authors-of-pain","tag-billie-kay","tag-bobby-roode","tag-bollywood-boyz","tag-cedric-alexander","tag-charly-caruso","tag-corey-graves","tag-dan-matha","tag-danielle-kamela","tag-danilo-anfibio","tag-dash-wilder","tag-dasha-fuentes","tag-dusty-rhodes-tag-team-classic","tag-dusty-rhodes-tag-team-classic-first-round-match","tag-eddie-orengo","tag-gurv-sihra","tag-harv-sihra","tag-liv-morgan","tag-mike-rome","tag-no-way-jose","tag-nxt","tag-patrick-clark","tag-paul-ellering","tag-peyton-royce","tag-rezar","tag-rich-swann","tag-samoa-joe","tag-scott-dawson","tag-the-revival","tag-tom-castor","tag-tom-phillips","tag-tye-dillinger","tag-wwe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1978"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1978\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2076,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1978\/revisions\/2076"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
