NXT VICTORY ROAD, Year 4


Match 1. Big E Langston vs. The Miz   NXT United States Championship
Big E hit a flapjack and back body drop. Miz locked in a modified camel clutch and headlock driver. After a near fall, Miz won the title with the Skull Crushing Finale.

Match 2. Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon
A rematch of an instant classic. Michaels hit a neck breaker and a springboard splash. Razor hit a snap slam and chokeslam. The two went back and forth with counters and body slams. Michaels landed a flying forearm and got a near fall. He blocked a punch and connected with the Sweet Chin Music to win.

Match 3. AJ Styles vs. Bo Dallas vs. Gunner
Styles hit Bo with a clothesline and running kick to the chest. AJ hit Gunner with a springboard elbow. Bo then caught Gunner with a spear. Gunner DDT'd both AJ and Bo. AJ and Bo hit Gunner with a double gut buster. Bo threw AJ and pinned Gunner to win.

Match 4. WGTT vs. International Airstrike   NXT Tag Team Championship
Kidd took Charlie down with a headlock take down. Gabriel hit a snap mare and Kidd followed up with a soccer kick to the back. Shelton landed a heel kick and standing moonsault. Shelton then hit a German suplex. Gabriel hit a tornado DDT. He went for his finisher, but Shelton ducked and hit another German suplex and finished up with the Complete Shot to retain.

Match 5. Table - Kevin Steen vs. Sheamus
Steen just missed slamming Sheamus through a table with a suplex. He then picked Sheamus up and hit F-Cinq. Sheamus hit back-to-back tilt-a-whirl slam. Steen hit a second F-Cinq onto a folded table. After a running DDT, Steen picked Sheamus up for a powerbomb and slammed him through the table.

Match 6. Brodus Clay vs. Kenta   NXT Championship
Kenta landed a running bulldog and brain buster. Kenta hit a spike DDT. He went to throw Clay into the ropes, but Brodus countered and hit the body splash. He then hit a t-bone suplex and running slam. Kenta came back with a running lariat. After some near falls, Clay hit a powerful headbutt and retained the title.

Main Event. Adrian Neville vs. Bryan vs. Aries vs. Bully Ray vs. Prince Devitt vs. Kenny King
This is a Money in the Bank ladder match. Ray pulled out a chair while Bryan grabbed a ladder. Neville hit Devitt with a tornado DDT onto a chair. After some minutes on the outside, all six men got back in the ring and fought. Devitt set up a ladder and grabbed the briefcase before King knocked him down. Devitt returned the favor to King moments later. Ray took Aries down with a back suplex and made a run for the briefcase, but King pulled him down. Devitt almost kicked Bryan's head off before pulling down the briefcase.

Recap: Devitt winning was a surprise. I wish the match went longer, though. Clay made quick work of Kenta. Who's next? Steen came on top of his feud with Sheamus. Great, great feud.
