There was a rush of new talent on last week’s edition of “NXT,” and this week, that chaos was followed up on, especially when it came to Tony D’Angelo’s NXT Championship. D’Angelo immediately started it off the top of the show, spearing Tavion Heights, who stepped up to him last week, through a table in the back.

D’Angelo then went to find Robert Stone to tell him he wanted Heights in a match tonight. That ended up being a non-title bout, which I actually didn’t mind at all, since I expected the shenanigans we got throughout the rest of the night. Kam Hendrix took D’Angelo out backstage before the match, getting it moved to the main event slot of the night, and then appeared during the bout to interfere, despite being “kicked out” of the Performance Center for the night by Stone.

I really liked that it was Myles Borne to come out to help even the odds for his former stablemate, Heights, taking out Hendrix, as they’ve had tension backstage over the last two weeks or so. But, of course, it wasn’t actually helpful, and D’Angelo hit his challenger with a Dead to Rights off the distraction for the win. But, we weren’t quite done with the chaos, as Will Kroos (now known as Mason Rook in “NXT”) came out to do some pretty amazing big man stuff after the match. While I’ve seen plenty of big guys hit impressive moonsaults before, like we saw Rook do last week, I can’t recall the last time one has put another man on his back and hit another guy in the corner with a cannonball like Rook did tonight. Pretty neat, albeit kind of hard to describe.

I can’t say I expected a bunch of new guys, plus Heights, who hadn’t been doing much, to go after the NXT Championship after all of the post-WrestleMania call-ups. Though, to be fair, I’m not sure who would have stepped up from the roster to be D’Angelo’s next challenger. There’s always the DarkState guys and BirthRight, I guess, but thankfully, we’re getting some new, fresh talent in the mix. D’Angelo will probably run through them all to retain, but this is the best way to get these new guys introduced to the Performance Center crowd. Tonight was once again chaotic, but not in too much of an all-over-the-place kind of way. A controlled chaos in “NXT” is the best kind of “NXT,” and the main title picture is going to be something to look forward to in the coming months.
