On Twitter, Joey Styles knocked the five previously eliminated NXT Rookies for their show closing brawl on NXT this past week from Albany, NY:
“Watching the end of show attack by the 5 previously eliminated NXT Rookies reinforced why most of them were eliminated to begin with. Ugh.” Styles wrote. “More candid comments about NXT to be coming in the weeks ahead….”
One source dubbed the assault as ‘the most unfocused and most poorly done in-ring brawl of the year.’ For starters, Titus O’Neil no-sold MVP’s finishing maneuver, the ‘Drive-By Kick’. Then, Percy Watson jumped Kaval, brawled with his fellow season two NXT Rookies, and continued attacking Kaval. Riley and Watson then began working together after brawling just moments earlier. The assault concluded with the NXT Rookies hitting their respective finishing maneuvers on Kaval, though Lucky Cannon and O’Neil’s were poorly performed. Yup.
