WWE Week in Review: Goldberg vs. Owens is set, Cena vs. Orton one more time

NXT

WWE crammed a ton of stuff into this week’e episode of NXT so let’s get right into the first Sanity match of the night as Killian Dain and Alexander Wolfe took on The Bollywood Boys, who are back in developmental for a bit more seasoning. And they got some seasoning as Dain destroyed them on his own. Wolfe never even got into the match and this was over pretty quickly. Eric Young cut a promo afterwards on Tye Dillinger and Nikki Cross said she wanted a shot at Asuka. This is a really good faction with a lot of different things happening. Good stuff.

Liv Morgan vs. Billie Kay is up next and this match went by rather quickly as well. Everything felt a little bland here and I really wasn’t into much of it. Morgan got a rollup win and will have to find a partner to take on Kay and Royce next week. Okay.

Sanity jumps Tye Dillinger backstage and it rolls out into the arena before No Way Jose, who has some beef with the group, and Roderick Strong make the save, setting up a six-man tag match for the main event. I’m not exactly sure why Strong is helping out but I suppose we’re just running the babyfaces help other babyfaces thing here.

It’s announced that United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate will defend his title next week against Trent Seven. I’m pleased that they’re doing something with this title and am really hoping for some Pete Dunne interference to possibly set up a match at either TakeOver or WrestleMania.

The Revival takes on Heavy Machinery, who I really enjoyed watching in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and put on another good showing here. These guys are legit and I really think they’ve got a nice future in NXT, especially when some of these other well-known teams get called up or split up, so taking the loss here wasn’t that big of a deal. The Revival cut a promo afterwards saying they wanted a shot at Authors of Pain and the titles at TakeOver, which bring them down to the ring for a quick confrontation.

NXT Champion Bobby Roode is out for his “Glorious Celebration” and I really thought this might be a bit more over the top but it was short and sweet and executed very well. He did a great job as a heel by putting himself over and that was that.

It’s main event time as Sanity took on Dillinger, Strong and Jose in a pretty solid match. I like how they’re building things here. Sanity got the dirty win here but are proving that they’re going to continue to be a force to be reckoned with. Strong taking the pin does nothing to hurt him, Jose is just kind of there and they’re really playing up how Tye Dillinger just can’t get a win over these guys, a big moment that will probably come for him at TakeOver. Good finish.

Now that they have some more time, I think we’re going to get some nice storylines headed towards TakeOver and this episode was a good way to get the ball rolling.
