I attended the NXT Live show last night in Columbus, Ohio. This was NXT's first show outside of Florida since they've settled in at Full Sail University. I cannot praise this show enough. Triple H, Tyson Kidd, Big Show, Ryback, Ric Flair and Cesaro were all there! The main event match between Adrian Neville and Cesaro was stellar and the crowd was so vocal the entire night. Great energy from both the crowd and performers at this show. A great night for the rising NXT brand. Below are the results:
Finn Bálor & Hideo Itami defeated Aiden English & Simon Gotch when Bálor pinned English
Alexa Bliss defeated NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks by count-out
Baron Corbin pinned WWE Tag Team Champion Tyson Kidd
Wesley Blake w/ Buddy Murphy (NXT Tag Team Champions) pinned Colin Cassady w/ Carmella & Enzo Amore
Ryback pinned Big Show
Intermission
Tyler Breeze pinned Kalisto
Charlotte w/ Ric Flair pinned Bayley
NXT Champion Kevin Owens pinned Alex Riley
Sami Zayn delivered a very heart-felt promo about the popularity of NXT to the live crowd
WWE Tag Team Champion Cesaro pinned Adrian Neville

Ok first off this show was really good, way better then any wwe house show i have been to in probably ten years. The vip signing with Flair/Big Show/Ryback was very organised and will done - zero problems to report about the signing all the guys were in a great mood. Though after the signings i went to eat came back and it was a long wait to get back into the building. Security was conducting very thorough searches and it took tons of time and everyone was very cold in temperatures around 19 degrees.
Triple H and Cory Graves opened show...they talked about how historic this event was and put over the nxt product and the crowed and treated this like a very special show.
Finn Balor/Hideo Itami vs. Vaudevillians- match was ok...Balor got the pin in kind of a clunky match something happened with Balor and English and English got confused not sure if he got knocked silly just looked really awkward towards the end. Balor and Itami were super over.
Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss - was really short with Bliss getting the win with a count out finish. it was good for what it was.
Tyson Kidd vs Baron Corbin - Baron Corbin won with end of days in what was a surprisingly good match. Kidd worked really will with Corbin who kind of hit his power moves and basically followed Kidd through a match. Crowed was super tough own Corbin, but he did fine.
Blake vs. Big Cass - Blake won with a roll up after big Cass smashed into Carmella. Blake and Murphy are not over at all with the very hot crowed went dead for them. Big Cass and Enzo Amore were very over doing there normal stuff.
Ryback vs Big Show- Ryback won with the shellshock. The crowd just gave big show tons of heat...The crowed was really mixed on this match with about half were Smarter fans and the other half were very hardcore wwe fans so lots of mixed reactions to this. Some people in my section reacted very big for this while others were looking very board and mad this was own the show.
Tyler Breeze vs Kalisto- Tyler Breeze won with the snap shoot very good match and felt like a normal nxt tv show match.
Charlotte vs Bayley- Charlotte won with a top rope natural selection. Ric Flair came out with his daughter and looked like he was having the time of his life working with her and Bayley. Charlotte did the classic Flair bit were she walked out of the corner and just fill dead. The crowed loved this match and it was very good and both the woman worked really hard.
Alex Riley vs. NXT Champion Kevin Owens- Keavin Owens won in a squash type match really just beat the hell out of Alex Riley. After the match Finn Ballor ran in and tried to save Riley. Owen and Finn Balor brawled in awesome exchange. This has me very excited to see the match in a few weeks.
Promo: Sami Zayn thanking the crowd and wished he was wasn't out with an injury put over the crowed and the product and how awesome it was and this type of wrestling is being endorsed by wwe. A loud chant this is better then raw took over.
Adrian Neville vs. Cesaro- Cesaro won an awesome match with the Neutralizer, definitely the match of the night. Lots of back and forth with tons of near falls compares to a good njpw match or ROH match. I give this show a very big thumbs up.
