Bronson Reed vs Austin Theory w/The Way on NXT
Trending
NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano already beat Bronson Reed at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. However, if Reed beat Austin Theory tonight, he'd get another shot, thanks to The Way member himself. What a bright idea.
Indi Hartwell was rather upset during this match, surely because of the betrayal she felt when Dexter Lumis "sent" flowers to the NXT Women's Tag Champions.

Bronson Reed dropped Austin Theory with a big shoulder tackle, sending him to the floor. Theory got back in but was sent through the ropes again by Reed. Theory caught himself on the bottom rope, and Johnny Gargano attempted to help him up to the apron. Bronson Reed ran in, hitting Theory and aggravating Gargano.
Back in the ring, though, Reed was caught with a slingshot rolling dropkick by Mr. All Day. As he fell to the floor, Theory distracted the ref and let Gargano rock Reed with a superkick. Reed was launched into the steps, possibly re-injuring his ribs in the process.
Throughout the break, Theory kept the pressure on Reed, but a little gloating allowed The Colossal One to turn things around with a few big slams. A running senton crushed Theory for a two-count.
Another distraction from Gargano, though, gave Theory the opportunity to hit his rolling blockbuster. Reed kicked out at two.
A Samoan drop planted Theory for a near-fall. Austin's suplex was countered, and Reed again flattened Theory. As The Way cheered on Theory, Dexter Lumis made his way to the ring.
Indi Hartwell was too hurt to trust Lumis, and began to walk away. She rolled into the ring, but couldn't stop herself from walking back to Lumis. The Tortured Artist of NXT saved Indi from an inadvertent attack from Theory, taking the bullet for her.
Reed clobbered Theory with a clothesline and finished the job with the Tsunami Splash.
Results: Bronson Reed defeated Austin Theory via pinfall on NXT.
Grade: B
Backstage, The Way blamed Dexter Lumis for the loss and told Indi Hartwell to go "take care of business."
