This week on NXT...
*NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: The Ascension (Konnor & Viktor) (c) vs. Hunico & Camacho
*Kassius Ohno vs. Alexander Rusev
*Bayley & Natalya vs. The Beautiful Fierce Females (Sasha Banks & Summer Rae)
*Mojo Rawley vs. Scott Dawson
*Sami Zayn vs. Leo Kruger
Hunico and Camacho get their shot at the titles, Kassius Ohno has his final NXT match (and will inevitably get squashed in it), Bayley recruits a WWE Diva to help her against the BFFs, Scott Dawson looks to stop the HYPE, and Zayn and Kruger look to settle their differences.
And next week, it's the 200th episode of NXT. Apparently some Wolves disguised as Pitbulls may show up.

Might be the last time we see Dawson for a while too, since he went down with a knee injury before the next group of tapings.

Here we go with some of my thoughts on NXT:
Overall, this was just an average episode of NXT.
Byron Saxton's ring announcing is very similar to Tony Chimel's. It almost sounds like imitation.
Hopefully this was the end of the Ascension's series with Hunico y Camacho. Potentially, this could be one of the last matches for the Hunico y Camacho tag team. It may also be one of the final times we see the Hunico character.
Alexander Rusev has an intimidating look. He looks like a total badass. I hope WWE doesn't give him a monster push, pull the rug out from under him, and then use him for 'comedy.'
I guess that was Kassius Ohno's last match in NXT. What a shame he never got a real opportunity in WWE. Hell, he never debuted on the main roster.
Bayley is a fun character. Natalya has developed some nice offensive spots with the Michinoku Driver and the more frequent use of Nattie by Nature.
There are more hints that Leo Kruger is changing his character.
Sylvester Lefort is entertaining. Mr. Mojo Rowley kind of looks goofy, especially with all of his jumping.
Ascension open challenge? I guess this set up the appearance by the American Wolves Pitbulls.
Sami Zayn and Leo Kruger had a pretty good match. I guess it was the best match of the week. Leo Kruger's clothesline looked brutal.
While this episode wasn't the best, I look forward to seeing the episodes from the next set of tapings.

Felt pretty rushed this week, apart from the Tag Titles match, which seemingly went on FOREVER.
Bayley gets ever more cuter in this role. Awaiting the Mickie James return, and when she hits NXT, the teamup with Bayley will break the cuteness meter. Liked how Sasha Banks' Bankrupt knocked Bayley's headband bow off on impact.
Reading Brandon Stroud's recap column on With Leather, he makes a good point - NXT's best tag team can't challenge for the titles, as they're Sasha and Summer. That's pretty unfair.

No More Heroes  Bayley loses Shitty Riley: Sami lost so he should go away. No, YOU should vanish from the face of the earth Riley. Sami squashed He was standing tall at the end though  |

Damn. Now I'm in a tough spot. I have to decide if I like "A hero departs" or "No more heroes" as the best line in this thread.

Konnorz & Viktorz win again. SMH. They are the low point (as usual) to a really good episode of NXT.
Still not sold on Mojo and his ass-centric offense.

Rusev is a straight up BEAST. And Lana is great eye candy for the duo. Can't wait for them to hit the main roster and clean house.

The main reason I don't like Hunico as Sin Cara, I like DAT THEME SONG. Riley, stop breaking my heart.  Natalya is so "motherly" with Bayley. I love it. The BFFS = "Super Hotness" Did Sami just job to a clothesline? |

Man, Kassius Ohno just had a terrible look.
I mean, not body wise. I think he in okay shape. But he's supposed to be this knockout artist, legitimate athlete. That gives you images of this sleek looking fighter. Instead, he's got the hobo beard and long hair. At least with Bryan it worked with his mentally deranged character until it eventually became part of him as a face. With Ohno it actively clashes with who he was supposed to be. From the neck down he was a totally different wrestler.

I literally fell asleep twice trying to watch this episode. You can usually tell when they get to the final episodes of a taping as it seems like they're sorta just, blah.
