NXT last double digit episode (EP 99)

NXT began witthAlicia Fox and Maxine in the ring, to summarise the meeting they had a cat fight which resulted in a match between them. Maxine dominated the majority of the match. Hitting some impressive moves on Alicia. Alicia would counter by whipping Alicia into the corner, but Maxine would counter by jumping over and hitting what appeared to be a sleeper hold. Alicia escaped and would counter an attempted roll up to gain the win.
My opinion of this woohoo. Maxine is a great heel character and can back it up in the ring. Plus her outfit, is a definite bonus. Alicia, I feel she has been lacking lately wrestling wise, she has become sloppy in the ring. This match would set up a backstage skit between Aksana and Maxine backstage, but before this, Derrick Bateman would be talking to Justin Gabriel about the love triangle, stating that he was over Maxine, Justin said to Bateman that Maxine was mad about an email Bateman had sent to Teddy Long, that Maxine was holding him back. Johnny shouted  out Curtis, insinuating that Johnny had hacked his email. Bateman would interrupt Maxine's and Aksanas conversation. He then tried to tell Maxine that Curtis had hacked his email, however Maxine would not listen and commanded the conversation. She said that her and Johhny would go to the top while Bateman would be here for the 200th episode of NXT.

Maxine accompanied Curtis down to the ring in Johnny Curtis vs Alex Riley. Johnny and Alex began to showcase their strength, Johnny would gain the upper hand, after he returned to the ring, because Alex hit a hip toss, which Johnny rolled out the ring from. Johnny would take control until Riley began to build momentum afte an STO, following two big clotheslines. Curtis would then hit an impressive suplex to counter Riley and win the match. Bateman would comment after the match to the couple that next week this ends

I sincerely hope that the 200th episode of NXT is not season 5 of NXT, and I am not the only one thinking that right? As for the wedding, WWE has always had a unusual wedding, lets never forget Triple H's attendance at numerous weddings. I expect that Bateman will win back Maxine, however, I think Maxine could be a major Diva. The Diva division is so boring, I remember when Trish Stratus, Lita, Mickie James and Molly Holly made the women's division a big part of WWE, they were not just hot, but had great impact and promotion, today the Women's division really lacks this. I hope that Kharma (if she returns) makes The Womens division something again. Alex Riley has lost his touch, this does reinforce my point that WWE's new stars are so dull that they all return to where they started. the only decent new star is Wade Barrett.

The second match would be Tyler Reks vs Trent Barreta, as last week Barreta beat Hawkins. This also followed a stint in which Yoshi and Barreta glued Reks hands to a controller. This match was a good old fashion David vs Goliath. Trent would be dominated to begin with, but would build up momentum with high flying moves. He would hit a outside dive senton to Both Reks and Hawkins, However upon entering the ring Hawkins distracted Trent and Reks took control. Reks would dominate the match, preventing Barreta to build up momentum but only scoring 2 counts. Reks picked up Trent to hit an inverted TKO, however Trent would counter to a pin and win the match. Curt Hawkins would then attack Trent, until Yoshi came in and cleaned house.

Trent is amazing, and if the cruiser-weight title was still in, I would definitely have him as champs. Yoshi and him could be a great tag team like, Kendrick and London or London and Kidman. However until a heel obtains these titles, I don't see this happening.

A tag team match between JTG & Tyson Kidd vs The Usos. Tyson and (I think) Jay would start up. Both displayed great athletic ability, and The Usos gained control with a tag (to Jimmy I think) Tyson would tag to  JTG after he kicked out of a pin. But the Usos still dominated with another quick tag, followed by another tag. JTG would gain control after (I think) Jimmy got distracted by Tyson. Tyson would be tagged in, and distract the Ref while JTG stood on the back of Jimmy. Tyson would dominate until Jimmy countered with a spinning forarm. This built into a hot tag, (I think) Jay hit a consecutive series of moves, to earn a 2 count after Tyson broke it up, he would knock down the other Uso and attempt to hit an outside dive on him, but would be countered into a samoan drop into the barricade. JTG tried to hit a diving move, but would be countered into a kick to the jaw by Jimmy for the win.

The Usos are a very popular tag team, however WWE will need more tag teams, mainly heels to really get the tag team devision back. Over the years it went from the popular Hardy Boys, Dudleys to the Air Boom and Usos, with hardly any heel opponents. The Miz is a great heel and has had some amazing tag teams. However they all end up breaking up. Jo Mo and Miz were an epic team. 

The final segment of the night would be a face off between Darren Young and Titus O' Neil. This had been due to weeks of rivalry promotion. Darren Young began by announcing himself as the most dominant man on NXT. He then went onto blow his own horn until Titus came down and grabbed a mic. Darren would insult him and the city they were in ( classic heel) Titus would respond with a dog Howl accompanied by the crowd. He called him a coward, for attacking. Titus would then say "This whole competition began with guys who did everything they could to prove to be a WWE superstar, but somewhere along the line, it missed all it's challenges, which obviously the host, Matt Striker has given up on, The redemption points" He then said that he and Darren should face each other man to man. Darren rejected this, and insulted Titus's family, this lead to a fight between the two, Matt announced a match between Titus and Darren with no DQ, referees attempted to drag the two men apart, Regal on commentary encouraged this.

The quote that Titus has said, I wish NXT would revert back to it's old state rather than the way it is now. As to the match, I am looking forward to it, should be good. but for the 100th episode, I would prefer a winner to NXT season 5, who agress? 


This episode of NXT, I would score it a 5/10


1 (Divas Match)
2 (Amazing tag team match)
3 (Fight between Titus and Young)
4 (No DQ match announced)
5 (Great match Barreta vs Reks)
6 (Titus talked about how NXT has changed)


My question to the readers are:


1) What do you think will happen at the wedding?




2) Any ideas to a popular heel tag team?




3) Who is awaiting Kharmas return?
