NXT Highlights and Results

NXT
University of Central Florida
Air date: March 9th 2017
Taped: February 22nd 2017

1. Tye Dellinger vs. Eric Young
This match ended up a no-contest as the other members of Sanity appeared on the entrance ramp before the match could start and presented a beaten up Roderick Strong. Dillinger went to help Strong, then No Way Jose came out and the two of them tried to take on Sanity. Jose and Tye were outnumbered though and Sanity left everyone laying.
Result: No Contest

2. Andrade “Cien” Almas vs. HoHo Lun
Standard squash match for the much more serious Almas.
Winner: Almas

3. Ember Moon vs. Billie Kay
Kay’s tag partner, Peyton Royce, lost a recent title match to Asuka, but this was a chance for her to get into the title picture. Moon won with a diving stunner from the top rope. Billie Kay needed to be helped to the back. Later in the show Regal would announce that Ember Moon would face Asuka for the NXT women’s championship at Takeover: Orlando
Winner: Ember Moon

4. the Revival vs. the Ealy Brothers
It looked like we were going to get a new tag team in the division, but before the match could start the Authors of Pain came out and beat up the Ealys during their entrance. Revival just kind of left.
Result: No contest

5. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. TJ Perkins
Perkins got a surprising amount of offence in this match. He worked the leg quite a bit as Nakamura is just coming back from a storyline leg injury. Perkins had him locked in many submissions but Nakamura always managed to get to the ropes or counter. Eventually Nakamura hit him with the Kinshasa for the pin. After the match Regal announced that at Takeover Nakamura would face the winner of the Kasius Ohno vs. Bobby Roode title match scheduled for next week.
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura
