WINNER AND STILL NXT CHAMPION: BRON BREAKKER
Post-Match, Breakker is on the top of the cage celebrating as Carmelo Hayes walks out as the show goes off the air showing Breakker holding up the title on top of the cage.
Jerome’s thoughts: Another great “premium live event” from the NXT brand. The action was great and was non-stop. The storytelling was superb tonight. However, this is the second PLE title match with Bron Breakker where it seemed to end a bit abruptly. With that said though, Breakker is believable and a powerhouse that the fans seem to be behind. Everyone worked hard tonight to put on a great show. Being outside of the Performance Center certainly added to the big event feel for this show. With what I saw tonight, NXT has the potential to get some great crowds and put on some really good shows outside of the Performance Center. Vic Joseph is great as the play by play guy for the brand. Booker T is between a heel and a babyface. He just isn’t that great on commentary, but you can tell he is having fun.
