I much prefer them to a team like The Authors of Pain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nKayla Braxton wonders who Oney Lorcan&#8217;s opponent is.

I&#8217;m not really a fan of either guy, but they put on a good show. The action was fine, but the campiness of the story was what made this match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, with Elias Samson unmasked, he is approached by a female security officer (I&#8217;m guessing that&#8217;s who she was, but she was dressed in a suit so maybe she was a backstage official). She motions for Samson to leave the ring area since he&#8217;s not supposed to be in NXT anymore, but Samson just laughs. He starts to head back into the ring when she grabs him by the hair and forcibly ushers him to the back.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis show very much felt like the leftovers from a bigger show. It&#8217;s not that the show was bad, but it was packed with clips from Takeover and the new matches aired were all pretty short. They felt like matches meant to warm up the crowd, because that&#8217;s what they were. Still, they weren&#8217;t bad, just incredibly short. This is a missable show, but it was fine.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an interesting bit of trivia I discovered while watching this show. The woman that roughly escorted Elias Samson away from ringside is the same woman who tried to stop Rob Gronkowski from hopping the barricade during the Andre the Giant Battle Royal on the Wrestlemania Kickoff show. I noted on my recap of that show how it seemed like she was a security guard who didn&#8217;t get the memo that Gronkowski was part of the show, but now I wonder.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Oney Lorcan vs El Vagabundo<\/strong><br \/>\nWas easily the most interesting match. I liked the other matches for their character-building elements, but this match actually had a little bit of a story to go with it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This edition of NXT was taped before Takeover: Orlando, and it very much felt like a pre-show.
