WWEs NXT brand brought the Great American Bash for fans on Saturday afternoon, and it was worth tuning in for. Atlanta, Georgias Center Stage played host for the show, and they saw a hard-hitting NXT Title match.
At The Great American Bash, Oba Femi defended the NXT Championship against Yoshiki Inamura. This match saw the NOAH alum get a quick push to the top of the roster, but he also made for a formidable opponent to Femi.
Josh Briggs, Yoshiki Inamuras best friend in NXT, was at ringside for the match. Naturally, there was a hype video, with tons of fans paying attention to what the two brought to the table. The match also had a big-fight feel thanks to the expert ring introductions from Mike Rome.
This match was a course in hard-hitting action. As Big E once put it, they were two big meaty men slapping meat, and fans in Atlanta were all about it.
The two men threw everything they could at each other, and fans chanted this is awesome. Then the referee was accidentally taken out eventually Yoshiki pulled off a splash from the top that should have seen him win the match, but no referee was around. Josh Briggs tried to get Yoshiki to use a chain on Trick, but he didnt. Then, Williams nailed a chokeslam to regain control of the match.
There were a few close near falls from Yoshiki, but then Oba Femi nailed a Fall From Grace to retain the NXT Title. The Ruler is still top dog in NXT.
We will keep a close eye on the NXT brand, because now, more than ever, it has become a must-watch product. Only time will tell how they are able to top this, but Shawn Michaels and company have made a trend of doing just that.
