I think both women still need some work, but up until the end this was alright. THe finish was strange. It seemed like Borne was reaching for something under the ring, but she ended up just holding onto the apron and she was being dragged into the ring by Conti. And the finishing move looked like it was supposed to be something else. As it happened, it was just kind of a slam where Conti fell on top of Borne. If the finish had been more clear, this would have been a better overall match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nCain Velasquez is in the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 5<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Aleister Black vs Johnny Gargano<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Eddie Orengo)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e60379ca1f4','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e60379ca1f4\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e60379ca1f4\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: the match ends in a No Contest when Tommaso Ciampa attacks both men<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 2:30<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was good for the short time it took place.

Referees come out to break it up. William Regal comes out to the stage. Regal says this situation is out of control, but he&#8217;s not going to try to stop it. At Takeover, Ciampa will put his title on the line in a triple threat match against Gargano and Black.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was interesting. Except for the main event, all the matches on tonight&#8217;s show were about building someone up. Cross and Ohno had exhibitions which they probably needed, and Keith Lee debuted against another debuting superstar, Marcel Barthel. Plus, Conti was built up in what was essentially a promo for the Mae Young Classic. I like shows like this every few weeks. It&#8217;s a good way to get some lesser names known and to get some of the known names some positive time in the ring.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Marcel Barthel vs Keith Lee<\/strong><br \/>\nNone of tonight&#8217;s matches were great, but they weren&#8217;t necessarily meant to be. And as much as I enjoy watching Ohno beat someone up, the Lee\/Barthel match was probably the best overall bout.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Official results:?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wwenxt\/2018-08-08\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wwenxt\/2018-08-08<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keith Lee debuts in NXT, Tommaso Ciampa gets more than he bargained for, Conti and Borne battle for a spot in the Mae Young Classic, and more on a pretty good episode of NXT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3866,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[255,297,622],"tags":[648,2067,1162,2066,936,718,2069,1660,1146,942,549,1478,671,1929,775,1150,971,719,1655,2068,737,871,1654,638,1095,567,1130,715,801,1653,1958,1133,747,1761,1656,1357,76,1477,7],"class_list":["post-3865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nxt","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-adam-cole","tag-adrian-jaoude","tag-aleister-black","tag-amber-nova","tag-angelo-dawkins","tag-bobby-fish","tag-cain-velasquez","tag-da-brewer","tag-darryl-sharma","tag-ec3","tag-eddie-orengo","tag-florida","tag-full-sail-university","tag-jessika-carr","tag-johnny-gargano","tag-kassius-ohno","tag-keith-lee","tag-kyle-oreilly","tag-mae-young-classic-qualifying-match","tag-marcel-barthel","tag-mauro-ranallo","tag-mike-rome","tag-montez-ford","tag-nigel-mcguinness","tag-nikki-cross","tag-nxt","tag-percy-watson","tag-ricochet","tag-roderick-strong","tag-street-profits","tag-taynara-conti","tag-tom-castor","tag-tommaso-ciampa","tag-undisputed-era","tag-vanessa-borne","tag-velveteen-dream","tag-william-regal","tag-winter-park-fl","tag-wwe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3865","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=3865"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3865\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3979,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3865\/revisions\/3979"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
