NXT is feeling the WrestleMania festivities just as much as their counterparts on the main roster as they go around selling out shows before the biggest PPV of the year.
Former Lucha Underground Champion Richochet main evented the most recent show in Largo that also had an impressive cameo from the War Machine and a memorable debut.
The main event had two former NJPW superstars putting on a show-stealer. That, and much more happened and here are the highlights of the same:
#1 Alexander Wolfe and Killian Dain vs Wolfgang and Dan Matha
Killian Dane and Alexander Wolfe kicked off the night's proceedings in a Tag Team match against the 6'7" Dan Matha and the former UK title contender Wolfgang.
This was a solid opener that ended with the SAnitY members getting the win.
Result: Wolfe and Dain def. Matha and Wolfgang
#2 Buddy Murphy vs Mark Andrews
The 205 Live superstars took center stage next in a singles match that saw Alexa Bliss' fiancé Buddy Murphy take on Mark Andrews. Another short yet decent bout in which Andrews impressed with his eye-catching in-ring style.
However, Murphy got the better of the former TNA Star and got the three-count.
Result: Murphy def. Andrews
#3 Rena Gonzalez vs Xia Li
The first women's match of the night had Chinese talent Xia Li pick up the win against Mae Young Classic competitor Rena Gonzalez.
This was Li's debut NXT live event match and she couldn't have asked for a better outcome. However, Gonzalez attacked Li after the match until Candice Larae came out to make the save.
Result: Xia Li def. Gonzalez
#4 Trent Seven and No Way Jose vs. TM61
Seven and Jose tagged together to take on Australian tag team standouts TM-61. The match was just a set up for the War Machine to come out and destroy Nick Miller and Shane Thorne. A Towel battle before the match lightened up the mood before things got real serious.
The appearance of the two behemoths known as Hanson and Raymond Rowe garnered a great reaction from the fans in Largo and the post-match segment created a solid first impression of the former ROH tag team champions.
Result: TM-61 def. Seven and Jose; Get taken out by War Machine after the match
#5 Kyle O'Reilly vs Eric Young
The leader of SAnitY took on one-half of the NXT Tag Team Champions up next in a singles match. The streak of good matches continued with the former ROH and TNA veterans keeping the fans invested in the action.
Young was quite over with the fans but failed to overcome OReilly at the sound of the final bell.
Result: O'Reilly def. Young
#6 Kona Reeves vs. Aleister Black
Largo loved Aleister Black and rightfully witnessed the fan favorite put away Kona Reeves with The Black Mass.
Black never ceases to amaze and this occasion was no different. The fans in attendance were treated to a bonus segment when Zelina Vegas came out and cut a promo after the match.
Result: Black def. Reeves
#7 Kari Sane and Ember Moon vs Peyton Royce and Billie Kay
The Pirate Princess teamed up with NXT Women's Champion Ember Moon to take on the Iconic Duo. It was an evenly contested tag team match in which the babyfaces picked up the win.
The women set things up perfectly for the main event of the night.
Result: Sane and Moon def. Royce and Kay
#8 Adam Cole vs Ricochet
The indy darlings stole the show in a back-and-forth match that had the fans chanting this is awesome in the closing stages.

Result: Ricochet def. Cole
