Cedrick Alexander def. Roderick Strong {Semifinal Match}
The tournament is firing on all cylinders now. These guys were so evenly matched, both able to show how desperate they were to win by hitting their god-killer finishers but not having the presence of mind to make the pin in the middle of the ring, costing them. It took Alexander catching a slippery Strong with a small package at 14:54 to finally put the very motivated NXT mainstay away. It’s going to take a lot for Ali vs. Gulak to keep this momentum going. ****
