WWE NXT Live Event Results From Ft. Pierce (7/23): Finn Balor Defends, New Recruits In Action, More
Thanks to Tom Gibson and Tara for the following WWE NXT live event results from Thursday's show in Ft. Pierce, Florida:
From Tom Gibson:
Ft Pierce was full and some less familiar faces made appearances. Announcing mainly Dasha Fuentes but also Zahra Schreiber.
* Mojo Rawley def. Axel Tischer. Match initially dominated by Tischer concentrating on mat wrestling but comeback from Rawley & Pinfall win. Radomir Petkovic enters the ring afterwards and slams Rawley.
* Elias Samson def. Levis Valenzuela. Samson was in a drifter character with guitar. Valenzuela did some Latin dancing with Dasha. Even back and forth match before Samson won with a knee to the head and pinfall
* Bull Dempsey def. Preston Cunningham . Very even and quite long match. Cunningham using a rich kid character before a splash by Dempsey finished for a pinfall. Bull very popular at Ft Pierce
* Dana Brooke & Lina vs Bayley and Jessie. Long match with Dana Brook and Lina forming a very powerful partnership. A lot of double teaming on Lina before Bayley pins Dana. Much of the crowd behind Bayley Jessie also has plenty of support.
* Noah Kekoa comes out. He is Hawaiian so a flower garland was inevitable. He was immediately destroyed by Radomir Petkovic. Tyler Breeze then comes out and announces that Petkovic is his wardrobe consultant. Uhaa Nation then enters the ring and a match between Uhaa Nation and Breeze starts. Very fast-paced, hard-hitting match with Breeze winning by pinfall after Petkovic distracts Uhaa Nation. Very good match
* 8 man tag. Vaudevillains, Mike Rallis and Steve Cutler def. Wesley Blake, Buddy Murphy, Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder. Excellent match with everyone involved. Cutler and Dawson started leading to a match with a lot of interference before Aiden English pinned Blake.
* Tye Dillinger def. Marcus Louis. Brawling style match with Dillinger winning by a pinfall
* Main event. Finn Balor def. Solomon Crowe. Excellent and very hard-hitting match with both going for submission wins before Balor won by pinfall.
