NXT Thread 09/14/16: The CWC Kick-Off Show

[Steveweiser]

Yep, there's some wrestling on before the wrestling everyone cares about tonight...

*Oney Lorcan vs. Tino Sabbatelli
*Liv Morgan vs. Rachael Ellering
*Hideo Itami vs. Drew Gulak
*The Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar) (w/Paul Ellering) vs. Enhancement Talents
*No Way Jose vs. Bobby Roode

This week's NXT main event pits the GLORIOUS Bobby Roode against No Way Jose in Roode's Full Sail debut. After losing to Austin Aries at Takeover: Brooklyn, Jose doesn't want another big loss on his list, but Roode has momentum from Brooklyn, so we'll see what goes down here.

In a fun quirk tonight, both father and daughter share a show, as Paul Ellering leads his Authors of Pain into action, while his daughter Rachael takes on Liv Morgan. Will their paths cross? Also tonight, in what looks like a fun showdown on paper, Hideo Itami takes on CWC standout Drew Gulak, and Oney Lorcan is back from his "roots" to face former NFL player Tino Sabbatelli.

All this and more to get you ready for the CWC Finale, from 8/7c on WWE Network!

Not a bad card at all tonight...

[Deleted]

Interested in seeing Tino's progress and if Ellering is impressive enough to finally get signed. Not a super exciting card, but there's intrigue to be found.

Itami vs Gulak should be fun.

[lionheart21]

This show is worth watching just for Itami/Gulak, but the rest of the card isn't too shabby either.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Ugh Tino. F*** HIM UP ONEY F*** HIM UP! *clap clap*

Awhhh here we go part 1

BIG JOE starting us off

[Lazy peon]

This sounds like a face turn

[thetower52]

God I love nakamuras music

[Gecko]

The NXT title seems like one of those things that you just cannot keep free of fingerprints.

[Lazy peon]

Uh, nevermind

[MiLB Fan]

Totally saw that coming. Didn't think for a second that Joe was turning face.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

This is one of the first times in NXT someone's done a number on Nakamura like this.

[lionheart21]

Uranage on the steel steps. Joe is savage as hell.

[543Y2J]

Joe: "LOOK AT ME, I DID THIS TO YOU"

Nakamura:

[r.]

And this one is for the folks who say Nakamura doesn't sell.

So....we've...never seen him manhandled like this before?

For once that wouldn't just be a cliche.

[MiLB Fan]

Haha, I love how the belt is going with him.

If this was a match SmoeJoe would be getting a double knees and inverted exploder in a matter of moments!
