WWE NXT - 9/9/15 Review

Carmella vs Peyton Royce

This match was okay. Carmella is slowly getting better and experienced opponents like Royce and Billie Kay are where she is going to learn the most and, in turn, improve the most. Carmella won in 5:04.

Rating: *1/2

Bull Dempsey and Tyler Breeze vs Johnny Gargano and Tommasso Ciampa

It was obvious from the start that both Johnny and Tommasso were struggling a little bit to adapt to the slower WWE style of match, but since it was their first match, I won't be too hard on them. Johnny was definitely seeming to get used to the style a bit better than Ciampa and this was a decent little match. Breeze attacked Bull after they lost in 6:21.

Rating: **1/2

Dana Brooke vs Billie Kay

I really didn't enjoy this match much at all. Dana needs to improve a hell of a lot before she can be considered for Women's Title contention, and it speaks volumes that someone as good as Kay couldn't drag a decent match out of her. The match ended with Brooke winning in 5:21.

Rating: 1/4*

Samoa Joe and Finn Balor vs The Lucha Dragons

Awesome, awesome tag team match to close the show with. Joe and Balor seemed to have pretty good chemistry in the ring and I would love to see them go all the way to the finals. The MuscleBuster/Coup De Gras combination was really cool as a tag finisher, too.

Rating: ***3/4

Final rating: ***

This week's episode was up and down. Parts were good, parts were off. I dislike how little Bayley and The Vaudevillains have been featured since TakeOver, but, then again, it's a one hour show.
