Tyler Rust w/Malcolm Bivens vs Bronson Reed on NXT

Bronson Reed, of course, overpowered Tyler Rust at the start of the match. The size difference was nearly insurmountable. Rust broke a headlock by taking Reed to the ropes but was sent flying to the floor with a shoulder block.

Bivens gave Rust a pep talk, but it didn't serve Rust much as NXT's Colossal One crushed him with a military press gutbuster. Bivens told him to use his mind, which gave Rust the idea to work over the arm. It was a great plan, but again Reed just crushed Rust, running through him with a cross body and hitting a chokeslam.

Rust kicked out and chased Reed up top to lock in a kimura lock. Reed broke away but was dropped off the top with an assisted Samoan Drop. Reed barely kicked out and avoided Rust's flipping snapmare slam. After a running senton, Reed followed up with the Tsunami for the win.

Results: Bronson Reed defeated Tyler Rust via pinfall on NXT.

Grade: B
