#2 Got Wrong: The NXT brawl

Killian Dain and Matt Riddle have been able to evolve their rivalry into one of the biggest parts of NXT in the past few weeks. The two have gone at each other nonstop and become as physical as possible to sell their rivalry in such a way that even a loss here or there wouldn't hurt.

The main event of this week's show saw the continuation of the rivalry, this time in a street fight. As you’d expect from any street fight, the action spilled over to the floor, and into the backstage area where they bumped into Imperium at a nearby table.

This was the beginning of the end of their match, as Walter applied a choke to Riddle, but The Street Profits and Forgotten Sons interjected. The angle led to a full-on brawl involving most of the top stars on the NXT roster.

The match ended in a no-contest with NXT security trying desperately to break up the fights that had broken out across Full Sail University. While the action was fantastic, the booking seemed lazy, as creative looked to achieve far too much in too little time. Even though they tried to put over the brand and Matt Riddle, prematurely ending the main event of an extremely hyped show doesn’t really work well with a brand known for its action.
