TMDK & Nikki Storm all worked on last night's Tampa house show.

* Patrick Clark defeated Murphy in a good match, good pops for Patrick

* “The Authors of Pain” Gzim Selmani and Dhinsa Sunny defeated Gabriel and Uriel Ealy. Strong heel action and heat by The Authors of Pain, not a bad performance by the Ealy Twins either

* Adrienne Reese defeated Daria in a physical match, using the top rope stunner

* No Way Jose defeated Josh Woods in a fun match, Jose is over

* Sawyer Fulton and Alexander Wolfe defeated “The Mighty Don’t Kneel” Shane Haste and Mikey Nicholls. Match of the night, good reaction for TMDK in their debuts

* Alex Reyes interviewed Brazilian wrestler Cezar Bononi in the ring

* Tino Sabbatelli defeated Angelo Dawkins. Tino got busted open and bled pretty bad, they had to change the apron. Good match though, one of Tino’s best

* Liv Morgan and Aliyah defeated Nikki Storm and Mandy Rose when Liv hit the moonsault on Nikki. Good reaction for Nikki’s debut and a good match overall

* Alex Riley defeated Tye Dillinger in a very physical main event. Riley won with a TKO and also got busted open, stopping the match

I love Dillinger! Glad to see that he's been in the main event of a lot of NXT live events as of late.

Sounds like a perfect 10 main event for me.


I am looking forward to TMDK and Nikki TV debuts.

I like the sounds of Alexander Wolfe and Sawyer Fulton as a team. I have really wanted to both Fulton and Dawkins to get a regular gig - I enjoyed the matches the two would have even as a jobber team. Then it looked as if they may do something on TV with the split, and then nothing. Dawkins can't keep doing that stupid stirring taunt he did on NXT last week though...

I read on wwe.com that TMDK want to start a new NXT tag team revolution or something along the lines.
Looking forward to see how they go in WWE, hope they can win their first taped match.
Overall, just hoping that Vince doesn't eventually pull out a crazy over-the-top Aussie themed gimmick for them.

It's good that the rookies are getting ring time. Hope that brazilian recruit Cezar Bonini know how to speak a bit of english by now. It's quite interesting how far wide WWE is searching for athletic talents and then fly them out to the US to have them for a tryout.

The tryout for the group of brazilian Athletics WWE invited for tryouts last year.

Good to see some of the lesser known guys getting the spotlight. I’m not one who hates the indy guys or anything. Fans of guys like Balor, Joe, and Nakamura. And let’s face it, NXT wouldn’t be where it was if it wasn’t for those guys and others.

But, you can’t just keeping building the show around these guys. Especially when guys like Balor and Nakamura will be on the main roster eventually. Excited to see all of these new tag teams and women.

Just a question, who is this Andrade I keep hearing of? Don’t know a thing about him but I’ve constantly heard about him having the match of the night at these shows. And also, might be a bad sign when you have two guys get unintentionally busted open.

It's good to see the newer generation of recruits coming through. The road trips for the main stars give this opportunity back in FL. Looks like Patrick is getting some strong booking and Tino is continuing to improve. Liv Morgan as well

Don't know what the BAMF situation is now. Alexa is now working as a singles wrestler. Blake and Murphy are both good in their own right and would bring something to the mid/upper singles card

Nice to see a lot of undercard/underappreciated talent. Bet the people in attendance were still a little bit disappointed they didn't see any big names but too bad for them, this card looked good.

TMDK and Nikki Storm are what NXT should be looking for. Indie talent with a name behind them, but not something that eclipses the entire brand so much they're debuting at TakeOver events or fighting for their respective division championships within a month or two. So I'm glad about that.

Glad Jose is over, even if the NXT crowds aren't a fair representation of what will or won't work. At least the pseudo-smart-marks aren't ripping him apart for having a 'dancing' gimmick despite that being his bloody gimmick he portrayed before being signed.

Dillinger main eventing is infinitely more important than Riley main eventing, tbh. Riley had his time in the sun even in NXT and wasn't all that great whereas Dillinger's claim to fame so far is wrestling Nakamura in a joke squash. An entertaining joke squash, but a joke squash nonetheless.

Still wish these would be televised.
edit: Just realised I called La Sombra "not a big name". Shoot me. :rudy
