WWE NXT 1/23/2013 Review
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/nxt-1162013-review.html
Shawn Michaels came out:
NXT Tag Title Tournament - The Wyatt Family - Luke Harper and Erick Rowan vs Yoshi Tatsu and Percy Watson
Harper got the win on Watson with a lariat. Nothing too special here I'm afraid. It didn't go very long and for the most part, big guys usually just have to work the big man style that isn't real fun to watch, though, Big Show is pretty good these days.
Dusty offered Derrick Bateman and Alex Riley a match against Kassius Ohno and Leo Kruger in the NXT Title Tournament next week and they accepted. Then Corey Graves came in:
"You've got to be kidding me. First off, I didn't even get my title rematch when the Shield got involved and now I'm not even invited to the NXT tag team tournament?" - Corey Graves |
"You feelin froggy? Then jump, circus boy." - Alex Riley |
"Nobody wanted to be your partner. Not even Jake Carter." - Dusty |
Dusty then made Corey Graves vs Jake Carter. I didn't get this at all. Corey Graves was winning in his title match, Sheild interfered and now they are holding it against him because of that? Plus he doesn't get a rematch? Nonsense.
Alicia Fox vs Sasha Banks
"She shook my hand before and nearly broke my fingers." - Regal on Fox |
"What is this move we're seeing here with Alicia Fox in command?" - Tony Dawson | "If you need me to explain that to you, you shouldn't be sitting here." - Regal |
The pin |
"The less you know about me, the better." - Paige, during a promo |
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm NXT's new correspondent, Renee Young." |
"I am the true Ascension and I will rise." - Conor O'Brian |
Corey Graves vs Jake Carter
"Corey Graves has that 12th step." - Phillips | "12th step? You're thinking about me when you're thinking about the 12th step." - Regal |
Graves got the win with his 13th step submission hold. Nothing too fancy here and basically, your average match. It was alright though for what it was and Graves looks like more of a star every time he's on.
"If I can't be in this tournament, I'm declaring anarchy in NXT. And Alex Riley, the next time I see you, you're going to be doing the same thing everyone else does. Stay down." - Corey Graves |
Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey vs Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre

"Oliver Grey is a lumberjack believe it or not." - Regal |
Big E Langston vs Axl Keegan
Big E got the Big Ending win in seconds in a total squash. Conor O'Brian then appeared on screen:
Overall thoughts: The show was fine. Adrian Neville was the stand out of the show and I'm interested in the O'Brian vs Big E match even though O'Brian sucks once he's in ring. No great matches here unfortunately.
I heard Regal say "Tony" a few times so I think it was Tony Dawson on the call.
