NXT: 5 Points to note (December 28th, 2016)

Nia Jax returned to NXT, as Asuka returned home

#4 A truly massive upset

Is Oney Lorcan being built as a strong singles star?

Oney Lorcan, a man who looks like he would fit right into The Bushwhackers, if they ever wanted to wrestle under the Freebird Rule, is actually a renowned indie wrestler. Performing under the gimmick of Biff Busick, Lorcan has proved himself to be a very good hand in the ring.

Thankfully, Triple H and company realise his worth and allowed him to score a massive upset.

It must be noted that his opponent, Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas returned in a mask this week, reprising his gimmick as La Sombra, from his independent days! We would have assumed that he’s higher up the food chain than Lorcan is and that this would be a squash match for Almas.

Turns out that Lorcan’s vicious-looking top rope suplex actually got him the three-count! Whoa. Considering that Lorcan appeared on SmackDown previously, we do hope that WWE believes in the young man.
