– NXT Tag Team Championship: The Lucha Dragons (c) vs. Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy

Blake and Murphy are coming off their upset win last week over the Vaudevillians and after showed a lot of moxie by challenging the Dragons to a title match and here we are with the gold on the line.

 

Blake and Sin Cara kicks things off. After some quick tags between the challengers, Murphy catches Sin Cara coming off the second rope with a dropkick. Sin Cara finds himself grounded with some chain wrestling and a ground attack from Blake. Blake misses a charge into the corner as Sin Cara ducks down, rolls him up with a schoolboy and transitions into a powerbomb.

 

Sin Cara makes the desperation tag to Kalisto and he wastes no time with his high flying offense as he hits Blake with a springboard Crossbody from the top, a springboard corkscrew followed by a back hand spring kick. This all happened in the blink of an eye which was amazing.

 

Callisto hits the sunset flip bomb on Blake, but the count is broken up by Wesley. Sin Cara clotheslines Wesley out of the ring and goes for a plancha over the top rope. Wesley moves out of position and Sin Cara sees this and makes the adjustment to land on his feet. Upon landing, Wesley grabs Sin Cara’s arm and sends him gut first into the ring apron.

 

Back in the ring, Kalisto pushes Blake into the ropes for a roll up, but Wesley makes the blind tag. Callisto hits Blake with the Salida del Sol, goes for the pin, but the referee waves it off as Blake pins an unsuspecting Kalisto for the 1-2-3. Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy are completely shocked and hug it out in the ring as the referee presents them with the tag team titles.

William Regal is in the ring with the contract in hand, as he calls out Sami Zayn first followed by Kevin Owens. Regal declares that he is not going to allow this to break out into a fight like every other WWE contract signing. Regal says he will cancel the match if either one of them touches each other.

 

Zayn is asked to sign first and he does without a second’s hesitation. Owens just stares at Zayn as Regal slides him the contract. Zayn asks Owens he is going to get an answer as to why he turned on him. Owens continues to stare at Zayn without signing the contract.

 

Zayn asks if he is supposed to pretend that the last twelve years didn’t happen says “Let’s talk about the last twelve years. Zayn mentions how they started their careers together in Montréal and after fights with and against each other, he should have seen this coming but he didn’t.

 

Zayn says everything thing they did in their careers was about ending up in NXT and he never thought that Owens would stab him in the back when he finally arrived in NXT and he finally arrived as NXT champion. It’s a moot point now Zayn says because he is going to beat the hell out of Owens at Takeover.

 

Owens notices that the contract stipulates that their bout at Takeover is a non-title match. Owens says he fights for a prize and Sami Zayn isn’t it.
