WWE NXT Live Results
May 16, 2015
Albany, NY
-It’s being reported there’s about 3,500 people in the building, maybe a bit less.
(1) Wesley & Blake def. Enzo Amore & Big Cass to retain the NXT tag team titles. Once it was announced as a title match, you pretty much knew what to expect. Enzo and Cass cleaned house to get the face pop after the match though, and those two guys are crazy over.
(2) Solomon Crowe def. Bull Dempsey with the stretch muffler. Dempsey was much more over here, but ended up getting booed when it was all over.
(3) Tye Dillinger def. Jason Jordan. As every single report for all of these shows has been saying, Dillinger’s “perfect 10” gimmick is amazing, and needs to be on TV in its current form as soon as possible.
(4) Sasha Banks def. Charlotte to retain the NXT Women’s title. One of the best matches of the night, if not THE best match of the night. This was the one that main evented the Philly show the other night.
-Baron Corbin comes out to see who his ECW legend is tonight and it’s…Tommy Dreamer.
(5) Baron Corbin def. Tommy Dreamer. Tommy still got a great pop even though he was at the 5/15 show as well, and some were expecting a new challenger after Rhyno the first night. They probably went a bit longer than they should have, but this is where Corbin is working out his “green card” so he doesn’t have to do it on TV, so you can’t fall them for that.
(6) Bayley & Alexa Bliss def. Dana Brooke & Becky Lynch. Fun tag team match. The crowd absolutely adores Bayley (and they should).
(7) Kevin Owens def. Tyler Breeze & Finn Balor in a triple threat match to retain the NXT title. A great main event that satisfied everyone, and had a little bit of everything. Owens is even better live (having seen him many times on the indies I will agree) as he’s more loose and just plays into the crowd so well. Better than probably anyone out there at playing off/manipulating a crowd. I still think they’re trying this out as the main event for Takoever, in the case that both Itami and Zayn are out.
-Owens won, but Balor closed out the night hitting the double foot stomp to send us home happy.
