WWE NXT: Results, Highlights and Grades for Nov. 13

Backstage Segment

We were shown footage yet again from outside the arena of women having been attacked. This time, we saw Marina Shafir, Jessamyn Duke, and Candice LeRae lying on the floor.

Isaiah “Swerve” Scott vs. Bronson Reed

A feeling out process was how this match starts off, which some nice exchanges that showcase the two wrestlers. Having the two fight was interesting to see the mixture of styles. Scott’s high-speed offense got some hits and separation but was continually stifled by Reed’s strong, physical strikes.

At one point, Scott threw Reed into the ropes and dropped to the ground, hoping Reed would go over him. Instead, the big man sat on Scott’s back, pinning the man to the ground. Reed followed this up with some Banzai drops before throwing Scott around the ring and outside. This ended up working against him with Scott uses a momentary break to push Reed into the ring post before the commercial break.

We came back to the two in the ring as Scott fights his way out of a hold. Scott picked up the pace and was able to get in some consistent offense, culminating in a Flatliner and a two count.

The two continued to exchange strikes until Bronson eventually got on the top rope. This proved to be a mistake as Scott climbed to the top, attempting a move. After some fighting on the top rope, Scott eventually delivered a DDT out of the corner from the second rope. This gave Swerve another 2 count against the big man.

Reed got some separation at some point, eventually hitting a Sit-out Spinebuster. Eventually, he delivered a driver, almost getting a close 3 count. The two went back and forth, and eventually, Swerve hit a kick to the back of Reeds head for the 3 count. After the win, Scott and Reed shook hands and showed good sportsmanship.

Announcement

An announcement was made for War Games. Finn Balor will go one-on-one with Matt Riddle, and Dijakovic is officially in the Men’s War Game match. This means Riddle is out of the War Games match, leaving Ciampa to find a fourth member.

Pete Dunne vs. Killian Dain

Before the match started, Dain was attacked by Damian Priest. This led to a brawl between the three competitors. They were eventually surrounded by a team of security.

This gave Priest an advantage. Dain was pushed into the steel steps. At one point, Dunne is being held back by security, and Priest got a kick in on Dunne. Priest eventually took a security guard, put him in a Crucifix hold and threw him out into a sea of people. Dunne and Dain got up and attacked each other, which led to Priest jumping out and delivering a great dive against the two competitors.

Backstage Segment

Mia Yim was interviewed before her ladder match vs Io Shirai for a War Games advantage. Yim suspected that women from Raw and SmackDown were behind the attacks. She’s interrupted by Dakota Kai. Kai said that she had no hard feelings for losing out to Yim for the last spot on Rhea’s War Games team. She reassured Yim that she had her back in case anything happens tonight during her match and walked out.
