The Forgotten Sons Attacked Street Profits

Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) squared off against the Metro Brothers (Chris & JC) on tonight’s episode of NXT. Chris Metro and Montez Ford started off the match. Ford took control and tagged in Dawkins.

JC tagged in and slapped Angelo in the face. Dawkins responded with a slap of his own that echoed throughout the arena. Montez cackled on the ring apron and then asked to be tagged in. Montez Ford connected with a beautiful Frog Splash for the pinfall victory.

After the match, the Forgotten Sons attacked the Street Profits from behind. Blake, Cutler, and Ryker stood over Montez Ford as the crowd chanted “we forgot you!”. The Forgotten Sons continued the beat down on Dawkins as the crowd shouted: “stay forgotten!”.

Shayna Baszler Confronted Bianca Belair

Bianca Belair came down to the ring and bragged about sending Nikki Cross packing last week. Bianca said that 2019 will be her year and she has 20/20 vision when it comes to the NXT Women’s Championship.

Belair vowed to walk out of NXT TakeOver: Phoenix with NXT Women’s Championship. Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke, and Marina Shafir interrupted and came down to the ring.

Shayna said that Belair might be the strongest and fastest in NXT, but she very clearly is not the smartest. Baszler claimed that she was going to tear Belair’s arms at TakeOver. Bianca rolled her eyes and stated that the only thing her arms will be doing is holding the title over her head.

Baszler stated that Belair was afraid to fight her at TakeOver. Shayna added that she is going to change Belair’s vocabulary from “undefeated” to “overrated”. Belair slapped Baszler in the face and escaped out of the ring before Duke and Shafir could get to her.

Johnny Gargano Picked Up A Victory

Johnny Gargano faced Humberto Carrillo on this week’s episode of NXT. Gargano applied a Wrist Lock and yelled “Johnny Wrestling!” to the crowd. Carrillo escaped and showed off by flipping across the ring. Humberto connected with an Arm Drag that sent Johnny tumbling out of the ring.

Gargano battled back with a Slingshot Spear then a Dropkick to the back of Humberto’s head for a near fall. Johnny locked in an Abdominal Stretch in the middle of the ring. Carrillo knocked Johnny out of the ring and flipped onto him.

Back in the ring, Humberto hit a Dropkick off the top rope and followed it up with a standing Moonsault for a two count. Gargano hit a Superkick and then launched Carrillo’s face into the middle turnbuckle. Gargano then hit a Slingshot DDT for the pinfall victory. Gargano challenged Ricochet to show up on next week’s episode of NXT.

Kassius Ohno Defeated Keith Lee

Keith Lee faced Kassius Ohno in the main event of this week’s show. Lee leveled Ohno with a shoulder tackle to start off the match and followed it up with a massive Crossbody for a near fall.

Ohno retreated out of the ring to regroup. Lee chased Ohno around and finally caught up to him in the ring. Lee blasted Kassius in the face with a forearm and then a Back Body Drop. Lee charged at Ohno in the corner but Kassius dove at Keith’s legs.

Lee tripped up and fell into the second turnbuckle. Kassius took control and connected with a boot to Lee’s face. Ohno hit a Senton and went for the cover but Keith Lee kicked out at the last moment.

Ohno went for another Senton but Lee got his knees up. Lee connected with a Body Slam and then a Slingshot Crossbody for a near fall. Ohno begged for mercy but Lee responded with a pounce that sent Kassius flying across the ring.

Lee lifted Ohno onto his shoulders but Kassius escaped and grabbed the ropes. Ohno pushed Lee into the referee and then hit Keith with a low blow while the referee wasn’t paying attention. Ohno then hit the Rolling Elbow for the pinfall victory. After the match, Matt Riddle rushed the ring but Kassius Ohno retreated backstage.
