Didn\u2019t know who the tag team he was paired with seemed to be new guys and they were okay, nothing special for the first time seeing them.<\/p>\n<p><b>WINNER<\/b>: Cedric Alexander via pinfall<\/p>\n<p><b>(3)\u00a0Andrade \u201cCien\u201d Almas vs. Tozawa<\/b><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2175260152\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Very fast passed action as both men are incredible workers.\u00a0 Very hard hitting and quick action from both guys.\u00a0 Tozawa works snug which makes the action very believable. This was one of the best matches of the show as both showed how to work a crowd.\u00a0 Tozawa is a great talent and everything he did looked believable and had the crowd on his side for almost the entire match.\u00a0 I saw him on the Cruiserweight Classic but he is incredible to watch live.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Andrade \u201cCien\u201d Almas via pinfall<\/p>\n<p><b>(4)\u00a0Peyton Royce vs. Billy Kay vs. Nikki Cross vs. Asuka<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This was the worst match of the evening.\u00a0 Billie and Peyton need some more work in my opinion.\u00a0 I really like Nikki Cross as she reminds me of Daffney and her ring work is good too.\u00a0 Asuka seemed to have a wardrobe problem as she was constantly adjusting and it might have affected the match.\u00a0 I hope the Takeover match is much better as I do like Asuka a lot.<\/p>\n<p><b>WINNER<\/b>: Asuka via pinfall over Billie Kay (I believe)<\/p>\n<p><b>(5)\u00a0DIY vs. The Revival for Tag Team Titles<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Authors of Pain attacked DIY before the match.\u00a0 DIY decided to still wrestle and this was the second best match of the night.\u00a0 Both teams are over HUGE and there were a lot of amazing near falls and double team work by The Revival and DIY.\u00a0 I hope The Revival makes it to the main roster as they are in my opinion the best tag team in the world right now.\u00a0 Authors of Pain\u2019s music played as a distraction for a pinfall on DIY but the referee saw it was the illegal man in the ring for The Revival and the match continued.\u00a0 The match ended when DIY has both members of The Revival in submission holds and they tapped out at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><b>Winners<\/b>: DIY in probably 15-20 min to retain the NXT Tag Team Titles by submission.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1312789599\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>INTERMISSION<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Short giveaway segment for a young fan that had to answer some questions who was wearing a John Cena shirt so there were a lot of Cena Sucks chants.<\/p>\n<p><b>(6)\u00a0Roderick Strong vs. Blake Murphy<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Murphy cut an anti-Houston promo to start saying how San Antonio (his hometown) is better and Houston is Garbage.\u00a0 This would continue through the match as the crown continually chanted things like \u201cyou are garbage, garbage headlock, where\u2019s Murphy, Murphy\u2019s better, you\u2019re still garbage\u201d.\u00a0 Strong won via pin after his finisher.\u00a0 He then cut a promo about how it\u2019s him vs the world and he is going for the title no matter if it is Roode or Nakamura.<\/p>\n<p><b>Match Winner: <\/b>Roderick Strong via pinfall after finisher<\/p>\n<p><b>(7)\u00a0Main Event Tag Match: Samoa Joe &amp;\u00a0Bobby Roode vs. Tye Dillinger &amp;\u00a0Shinsuke Nakamura\u00a0 25-30 min<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Best Match of the night and as every wrestler is over HUGE!\u00a0 Great spots and a lot of fun chants such as (Royal Rumble \/ Number 10, SAWFT, TNA, NAKAMURA, Glorious).\u00a0 All four know how to work a crowd and tell a great story.\u00a0 Back and forth action between all four wrestlers.\u00a0 Everyone got their signature spots (with exception of muscle buster from Joe).\u00a0 The singing of Nakamura and Bobby Roode\u2019s entrances is so fun to hear and do.<\/p>\n<p><b>Winners: <\/b>Nakamura and Dillinger by Pinfall after Nakamura covered Joe<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> Overall an incredible show!!\u00a0 I watch Raw every week and most weeks three hours drags by so slowly even being there live.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s because live shows don\u2019t have the backstage skits and \u201cstuff\u201d that\u2019s basically time filler but I was never bored once and this show was three hours with a short intermission.\u00a0 Crowd was very lively and into every match.\u00a0 Apologize if I got any information wrong.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-559609626\"><div id=\"pwtor-1247153746\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>NXT LIVE EVENT REPORT JANUARY 26, 2017 HOUSTON, TEX.
