4 Things NXT got right on this week’s episode (September 25, 2019)

#3 Built towards Walter vs. Kushida

After we saw a good confrontation between Imperium and Kushida on last week’s NXT, the company decided to take one step forward in a rivalry that could take over the Black and Gold brand in the coming weeks.

A huge six-man tag team match was booked for tonight in which Imperium, minus the WWE United Kingdom champion Walter, took on Kushida and Breezango.

Marcel Barthel, Alexander Wolfe, and Fabian Aichner showed why they are arguably the best international faction in the company today, while Kushida, Tyler Breeze, and Fandango gave them an exceptionally tough fight.

After a close match, Kushida picked up the pin, ensuring his team's victory. Not only did this do wonders for Kushida, but it also increased the value of Breezango on the developmental brand where they were a great team before moving to the main roster.

Even though most of the action took place during the match, what happened afterward made things even more exciting for the weeks to come. Walter attacked a celebrating Kushida with a big boot on the entrance ramp, and Imperium stood tall even in defeat to close out the show. This will definitely provide the spark for a future match between Walter and Kushida for the WWE United Kingdom Championship.

Kushida vs Walter is gonna be incredible! #WWENXT #NXTonUSA
