3/11 WWE NXT Results: Enzo Amore & Big Cass Fight for #1 Contendership, Alexa Bliss Returns, Hideo Itami vs. Tyler Breeze

Alex Riley vs. CJ Parker

Parker puts on a side headlock but Riley comes back with a standing dropkick. CJ attacks from behind and puts the boots to him in the ropes. He says he’s going to break Riley’s nose, until he comes back with a big back body drop and a clothesline. Riley with a corner splash followed by a spinning neckbreaker. He hits the Blockbuster (top rope Overcastle) for the 1-2-3. 

Winner: Alex Riley

Kevin Owens interrupts Riley celebration. He calls him the “dumbest man in NXT” and insults his back tattoo. Owens says he’s going to end his in-ring career just like his commentary career, and then put an end to the rise of Finn Balor. 

This Riley program is one of the best things they’ve done in awhile. Gotta say it was real dumb to run a promo for next week advertising Riley vs. Owens, and then have the commentary team ask “did he impress William Regal enough to get his match?” He didn’t do anything out of the ordinary in this match, but the crowd loves him and the storyline momentum is golden.
