QUICK SPOILERS: Alexa Bliss defeats Sasha Banks, Mojo Rawley defeats Garrett Dylan, The Vaudevillains defeat Travis Tyler & Angelo Dawkins, Tyler Breeze defeats Kalisto and The Ascension defeat Tyson Kidd & Sami Zayn
MATCH: Sasha Banks vs. Alexa Bliss
I think Alexa Bliss's theme is as horrible as her face is adorable. I can't handle how cute she is and I can't stand that entrance music. Nice surfboard from Sasha Banks on Alexa. Summer Rae and Charlotte start messing with each others' hair and this confrontation causes a distraction for Sasha. Alexa capitalizes and rolls Sasha up for the win.
WINNER: Alexa Bliss via pinfall
Summer Rae full on slaps Charlotte and Sasha tries to break it up, not really taking too much of a definitive side.
Backstage, Natalya and Tyson Kidd talk about the tag team title shot that Tyson has later on tonight. Tyson stresses that he could have done all of this without Natalya, who just wants to help.
MATCH: Mojo Rawley vs. Garrett Dylan
Mojo takes it to Garrett with his usual energy. Dylan gets in control and starts to play up the power game. This very rudimentary match ends with Hyper Drive, which should only be a finisher for someone who is huge.
WINNER: Mojo Rawley via pinfall
Backstage, Tyson and Sami give each other a quick pep talk.
MATCH: The Vaudevillains vs. Travis Tyler & Angelo Dawkins
This Vaudevillains gimmick is so...so...soooo ridiculous....I can't help but think it's a little charming. It can't possibly go anywhere, but why not, right? You would assume that these guys would be the jobbers, yet they control this whole match and the other two didn't even get an entrance.
WINNERS: The Vaudevillains via pinfall
Backstage, Devin Taylor interviews Big Cass, who sings "That's Amore" and pokes her nose.
Rob Van Dam says he wants to wrestle Adrian Neville.
MATCH: Tyler Breeze vs. Kalisto
Continuing the theme of the night, Tyler Breeze is the clear star here. However, Kalisto is getting at least a little bit of offense here and there. Actually, it turns into a pretty competitive match. This is the best that I've seen Kalisto look, I think. He's showing off some agility and innovativeness here and there, but Breeze isn't looking like a chump in order for that to happen, either. Breeze hits the Beauty Shot for the victory.
WINNER: Tyler Breeze via pinfall
MATCH: Tyson Kidd & Sami Zayn vs. The Ascension (for the NXT Tag Team Championship)
Sami Zayn tries his best, but he's continually beaten down by The Ascension. Tyson Kidd decides to simply leave, never having been in the match to begin with. Sami fights back, but Kidd is not in the corner for a tag. Fall of Man on Sami Zayn and the match is over.
WINNERS: The Ascension via pinfall
REVIEW
This was my least favorite episode of NXT that I've seen so far on the WWE Network. It was almost entirely comprised of squash matches. Props to Kalisto for some nice moves, but other than that, it was total filler.
