The Two Sheds Review Catch-Up: WWE NXT Takeover R-Evolution

As many of you will know Ive been rather busy in the past few months. My work placement at a local museum meant that I couldnt find the time to watch as much wrestling and MMA as I usually did. But as I have the next couple of weeks off Ive decided to catch up on a few recent shows.

And what better place is there to start than with something that has impressed the hell out of me in the past and WWEs feeder group, NXT, as we take a look at their most recent offering, Takeover: R-Evolution.

The show began with singles action the debuting Kevin Owens took on C.J. Parker.

To say that the former Mr. Steen put in an impressive showing in his first WWE outing would not be underestimating things. It was the perfect way to introduce the former ROH star to the WWE crowd, a short, high-intensity battle designed to show SteenI mean Owens at his best.

Parker managed to get in a few blows, but at the end of the day there was only ever going to be one result here. There may not have been a package piledriver, but Owens took the win with a pop-up powerbomb. Nice stuff.

The first title match of the evening saw the Vaudevillains team of Aiden English and Simon Gotch challenging Sin Cara and Kalisto, the Lucha Dragons, for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

This wasnt too bad for what it was. You couldnt really call it a back and forth encounter. Cara began the match for his team, and it wasnt long before English and Gotch were giving him the punching bag treatment as they put together a nice sequence of moves.

The masked man eventually somersaulted his way out of his opponents corner for the hot tag to the other masked man, and thats when the bodies began to fly as the luchadores put together a string of high flying moves, and after they flew over the top rope to take English out of the picture Kalisto took Gotch down with the SDS for the title retaining pin.

It was back to singles action for the next match as Tye Dillinger faced Baron Corbin.

The blink of youll miss it affair of the evening saw Corbin, who has apparently been finishing off his opponents in double quick time, dominate the match as he took Dillinger down with snake eyes, a big boot, and his end of days finisher for the win. Thats about it really.
