NXT 2.0

Orlando, Florida

Jan. 11th, 2022

 

 

Singles Match
Santos Escobar (w/Joaquin Wilde & Raul Mendoza) vs. Xyon Quinn

 A pretty standard match. Felt like maybe went on for a bit too long and wasn’t the best ending. Knowing this likely ends their feud and Escobar continues a push towards title is okay. Quinn here looks good but his move set is average at best. 

2 / 5

Singles Match
Cameron Grimes vs. Damon Kemp

Pretty much just a squash to show off Grimes. Hopefully he gets a better match to show off his skills with the push. 

.5 / 5

Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic 2022 Qualifying Match
Edris Enofe & Malik Blade vs. Harland & Joe Gacy

Another quick almost squash like match. This’ll just continue Gacys run right now and build up to another speech. Its just nothing interesting though. 

.5 / 5

Crowbar On A Pole Match
Pete Dunne vs. Tony D’Angelo

A crowbar on a pole match plays out exactly as you think. D’Angelo just isn’t that great in ring and Dunne went from being such big deal especially in the old NXT to seeing this now is just underwhelming. Also the use of the chair not being allowed in a match where a crowbar is only allowed just seems odd. 

2 / 5

Six Man Tag Team Match
Indi Hartwell, Persia Pirotta & Wendy Choo vs. Amari Miller, Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter

The character of Choo is awful. This was another match that was too quick especially when you consider it was a 6 man tag match. 

.5 / 5

Singles Match
Boa vs. Solo Sikoa

The match had okay action but a stupid finish. Double count outs are always lame and I assume this builds to a no DQ match or something similar. Both men have potential if they tighten up their move set some. 

1.5 / 5

Singles Match
AJ Styles vs. Grayson Waller

A long and pretty decent match here. Styles winning doesn’t hurt Waller at all as he came close to the win several times and this shows Waller can take it against a multi time champ. Outside of a few moments this was everything it could have been. Styles helped Waller look even better and with a few fixes Waller has great potential. Hope this leads to another match down the line between these two. 

3 / 5
