WWE NXT 13th May 2015- 5 Points to note

NXT aired its weekly episode from the Full Sails Arena and it had all the star power that makes it unique and entertaining. Storylines were continued and built up for the next Takeover. Some characters showed some fierce development and as far as Takeover is concerned, it has been built up as yet another NXT classic marquee show. While Zayn and Owens try to outpower each other, Balor and Breeze are going up against each other to determine the No. 1 Contender for the Championship that Owens so proudly carries around.

Here are the 5 points to note from this weeks show-

1. Not coming back

kevin Owens

What’s special about NXT is the fact that a 5-minute promo is enough to set up some masterful storytelling. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens met again. Zayn asked Owens, again, why he did what he did. The Canadian also brought forth a line about Owens’ son wearing a Zayn T- Shirt instead of the simple yet significant ‘KO’ T- Shirt. The NXT Champion nonchalantly walked off and with his back pointed at Zayn started speaking in his casual yet stern manner. He knows thatZayn is hurt and Owens is the reason behind that hurt, but it won’t stop him from doing that to Zayn again. And then the Champion glanced perilously on one side and insisted that this time Zayn won’t be coming back ever.

2. The Boss Card

Sasha Banks gloating with her NXT title

What makes Sasha Banks stand beyond and above her contemporaries is her in- ring work. Nobody really compares to her inside the squared circle. This week, as a part of her build-up towards ‘Takeover: Unstoppable’, Banks faced a new opponent, who nobody really introduced so the fans called her ‘Black Shorts’, and despite not being a great showcase for Banks, all the ardent wrestling fans know why despite being a heel that exudes arrogance Banks is still spectacular and why the crowd is in awe of her. Her wrestling is top- notch and Takeover looks like another showcase in waiting for the Boss.

3.The Tag Team Scene

Enzo & Cass

After a pretty average match, Carmella was in for some company from the NXT Tag Team Champions. And just when the Champions’ arrogance had skyrocketed, Carmella brought them back to Earth by getting the crowd all amped up with Enzo and Big Cass’ catchphrases. Carmella’s babyface turn looks complete. And the time is right to finally give the most popular tag team in NXT and two of the most charismatic speakers in the roster the championship titles.

4.The Hits and Misses Combination

Emma stretches Charlotte

Charlotte, right now, has nothing meaningful to do. She looks like she’s off to the main roster. There isn’t a better, more opportune time than now. Bayley on the other hand is one of the most popular characters on the NXT roster and she looks like the successor to Sasha Banks. Their opponents this week were Dana Brooke and Emma. The slow burn for heel Emma is great in her new avatar and it should bring forth her renaissance on the main roster. While Dana Brooke is still way below average when compared to any female performer on the show right now.

This hits and misses combination didn’t do the match any favours but it did bring forth the fact the women on the NXT roster get more storylines and character developments than the main roster still can’t provide.

5.Who’s Next?

Breeze laid out Balor

Hideo Itami is out for at least six months. That makes Takeover’s match a one on one bout between Balor and Breeze. Breeze stood tall in the ring this week and heads into Takeover looking strong. Balor and Breeze had a lackluster talking segment before this match but there are huge things to be expected from this bout. As Balor’s main roster debut rumor gains steam, will Breeze make a return to the NXT main event scene? Will he finally catch a break and become the champion? If Balor wins at Takeover, losing again in the championship bout will do more harm than good. Is it finally Breeze’s time?
