Dylan Miley started for his team, and being a huge guy, he dominated DIY. Pretty much completely. Blais, who is significantly smaller than Miley, wanted a tag while Gargano was reeling. So Blais comes in, and DIY quickly makes a comeback, double-teaming Blais and completely avoiding Miley. This was a clever way to make a squash not seem like a squash.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Miley seems frustrated.

The match wasn&#8217;t very long, but it was very hard-hitting. Both guys were throwing very strong-looking strikes, and Lorcan even got busted open towards the end of the match. McIntyre looked impressive, showing good power and strength (such as when he caught Lorcan on the floor from a top-rope dive and slammed him onto the apron).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Dasha Fuentes asks McIntyre what brings him to NXT.

He talks about his arrival in NXT a year ago and of the things he&#8217;s learned. One thing he&#8217;s learned is that the NXT Universe is crazy. Nakamura will always be NXT. As Nakamura gets applause from the crowd, the locker room clears and applauds from the stage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was an okay show. The main event was good and the tag match was surprisingly entertaining. This feels a lot like a transitional show, so not much really happened as far as stories go, but I think this episode is setting some of the groundwork for things to come.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Oney Lorcan vs Drew McIntyre<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match and a great debut.
