3/5/16 WWE NXT results: The Arnold Classic in Columbus, OH
* Apollo Crews defeated Dylan Miley with a standing moonsault. This was a really slow paced match which Miley controlled with a lot of grounded holds.
* Billie Kay defeated Mandy Rose with a kick to the face. Mandy Rose worked as a babyface during the match.
* Johnny Gargano submitted Riddick Moss with Garano Escape. Dasha accidentally called Gargano Tommaso Ciampa.
* Bayley retained the NXT Women’s Championship over Emma with a Bayley-to-Belly. Bayley is over beyond comprehension in Columbus. She gave her shirt to a girl in the crowd, who broke down in tears.
* American Alpha defeated the Vaudevillains with Grand Amplitude. Gable and Gotch put on a mat wrestling clinic in the opening moments. American Alpha are also over big time.
* Finn Balor retained the NXT Championship over Baron Corbin with Bloody Sunday. Seeing Balor pull off Bloody Sunday on Corbin was really impressive.
* Eva Marie defeated Peyton Royce. This was not a good match. Eva Marie still doesn’t look live crowd ready.
* Tye Dillinger defeated Tino Sabbotelli. Tino looks a lot like Jessie Godderz in person.
* Asuka submitted Alexa Bliss via the Asuka Lock. Bliss got a big pop from her hometown crowd, then heeled them. This was an excellent match.
* The Revival retained their NXT Tag Titles over the Protein Brothers (King Constantine & Thomas Kingdon) when they cheated. Protein Bros did not look ready to be in the ring, but Dash and Dawson are really good, so it wasn’t easy to tell.
* Kishan Raftar defeated Dan Matha. Really basic match, no frills.
* Nia Jax defeated Billie Kay via leg drop.
* Apollo Crews defeated Riddick Moss and said he expects gold around his waist in 2016. This match was really long.
* Tye Dillinger defeated Johnny Gargano with his finish. Dillinger heeled it up and turned on the crowd after working as a babyface earlier.
* American Alpha defeated The Revival via DQ in a title match. This was a fantastic match.
* Peyton Royce submitted Alexa Bliss, making the hometown girl 0-2.
* Sami Zayn defeated Samoa Joe via pinfall after the Helluva Kick in an awesome match. Easily the best singles match of the show.
