Bobby Roode vs Sean Maluta
Another glorious entrance from Bobby Roode who once again had the crowd singing along to his theme. His opponent Sean Maluta, a member of the same Samoan wrestling family as Roman Reigns and The Usos, waited in the ring.
The two faced off in the ring to begin the match as Bobby Roode started off with a snapmare before taunting Maluta who hot back with a dropkick followed by a hurracanrana and a pinning combination. Roode wasn’t impressed and hit back with stiff kicks before choking Maluta against the ropes as he went full heel. With Maluta in the corner, Roode hit him with stiff chops ala Ric flair as he talked trash in his younger opponent’s face.
Maluta tried to hit back but Roode punched him into submission and followed it up with a textbook spinebuster. Roode followed it up with a glorious DDT for the pinfall, making short work of his opponent.
Bobby Roode def. Sean Maluta
Roode cut a promo after the match, claiming that he was going international and would take over Canada during Survivor Series weekend. He laments that Tye Dillinger was complaining all over social media. Roode says that he tried to pick Dillinger up from mediocrity and into his level but he failed and had to eliminate the loser.
Dillinger couldn’t take this anymore and came out to confront Roode who went for another DDT but Dillinger countered and hit Roode repeatedly, sending him packing. Great stuff.
We get an interview with Live Morgan next and we review footage of her match last week where Peyton Royce helped Billie Kay defeat her. Liv Morgan says that she doesn’t make moves and makes excuses as Kay and Royce assault her from behind. They beat the holy hell out of her and drag her out by the hair and into the ring area.
Royce leveled Morgan with a kick before Kay and Royce cut promos warning the entire NXT women’s division, including Asuka, that the division belonged to them. Once again, great stuff.
