NXT 268

March 11, 2015 – Winter Park, Florida

Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady def. Sin Cara & Kalisto
It often pains me to say nice things about Enzo & Cass, but this match was a hoot, the finish was strong, and somehow Cass basically doing it all on his own and doing a Rocket Launcher without any real help from Amore tickled me. ***

Alexa Bliss def. Carmella
Wow, Carmella is very not over without Enzo & Cass. This died whenever Carmella was in control, so it’s safe to say this experiment failed quickly. Bliss is better out there than her reputation had led me to believe, and the Sparkle Splash is a dope move. *½

Alex Riley def. CJ Parker
This was fine, just fine. Kevin Owens comes out and calls Riley the dumbest guy in the world for putting an end to his commentating career only to have his wrestling career ended by Owens. He also rips on Riley’s back tat in a move that feels more provocative than it probably is. **

Tyler Breeze def. Hideo Itami
This had a good finish, and a better story than their Takeover match, but wasn’t as tight as their tournament match. It was unfortunate that the crowd was a little worn out at the end of the taping series and didn’t give this the boost it could have used. ***
