Bronson Reed vs Shane Thorne on NXT

Bronson Reed let Shane Thorne throw his best shots, but the resident Thicc Boi of NXT was completely unphased. A dropkick, though, sent the big man to the floor, where a suicide dive finally dropped Bronson Reed off his feet.

Thorne quickly lost control, though, and a full nelson slam on the apron laid The Mighty One out. As Reed moved to the top, Thorne shook it off and followed him, setting up for a superplex.

Reed shoved him off, but Thorne landed on his feet and rocked Reed with a great running dropkick. As Reed laid in the corner, a cannonball senton connected as well. The Shining Wizard connected, but Thorne still couldn't put Reed away.

Reed caught Thorne with a headbutt, dazing him for a military press. A senton connected, but Thorne kicked out. Thorne bounced back, landing a great roundhouse. Still, he couldn't trade blows with NXT's Thicc Boi. A big clothesline turned Thorne inside out.

Thorne was dropped with a running death valley driver, followed by the big Tsunami splash off the top, giving Reed another strong win.

Results: Bronson Reed defeated Shane Thorne via pinfall on NXT.

Grade: B+


We saw footage from earlier in the day of Breezango making their way to NXT. However, they were attacked by Legado Del Fantasma before they could enter Full Sail. Fandango was kidnapped in the process.

What is up with this parking lot? Where is security? How many 1 star reviews does Full Sail have with Santos Escobar always kidnapping folks?
