Samoa Joe vs. Tyler Breeze

Result: Samoa Joe defeats Tyler Breeze via pinfall.

Rating: 2.8 out of 5 stars

The last WWE NXT entrance for Breeze.

Before Joe can do anything, Breeze slid out of the ring. When he got back in, Joe went after him, but Breeze backed out again.

In the ring, Breeze began throwing multiple punches and hit a clothesline. He would showoff on the ropes, which infuriated Joe. He kicked Breeze off and hit multiple punches. Joe then launched himself through the ropes as Breeze was clutching his head.

Joe hit a big enziguri on Breeze to send him down. He hit a hard chop to Breeze’s back and a big knee drop to the face for a near-fall.

Breeze came back with a few elbows as Joe tried whipping him. He pulled Joe down for a double knee backbreaker for a near-fall.

Breeze came back with a few punches before being chopped. Prince Pretty responded with a dropkick for a near-fall. He hit a leg drop for another near-fall.

After putting a hold on Joe, the former ROH star hit an inverted drop and senton for a near-fall. He then hit a scoop power slam for another near-fall. He then shoved down Breeze and went for the Muscle Buster but Tyler countered. He hit the Supermodel Kick for a near-fall.

After throwing punches back and forth, Breeze went for the roll up but got put into the Coquina Clutch for the submission win.

Rob’s Note: Another solid match. Joe and Breeze worked well together. Now Tyler goes onto the main roster and Joe goes onto do something.
