WWE NXT: Results, Highlights and Grades For November 27th, 2019

Mansoor vs. Shane Thorne

Lock up to start. Headlock transition by Manny followed by a sort of Sliced Bread/Headlock combo, which I’ve never seen before. Thorne slams Manny in the corner to break it. Flurry of chops from both men until Mansoor gets a victory roll for a pin attempt, but right after a two count hits a moonsault.

He tries to capitalize with a suicide dive, but Thorne catches him and turns it into a side suplex on the outside. Two count back in the ring.

A modified full nelson by Thorne till Mansoor breaks out and hits a forearms smash, but Thorne is unphased as he hits another side suplex for another two count. He runs at Mansoor, but gets caught with an enzuigiri. Mansoor finally does a suicide dive, tosses him back in the ring, and hits a springboard neckbreaker for the win.

Grade: B-

Nothing too memorable, but I really enjoyed this for what it was. Big fan of both men.
