Recap: Impressive comeback here by Ru Bando, who after getting out-punched and extolling a gang of wayward angles (NXT’s usage of name flips not only sizzled, but it seemed like he trying to knock Bando’s lack of versatility in round 1 too) in the opening round, got his shit together in the latter rounds, connecting his punches better while unleashing a fly series of blistering gun lines, witty barbs, some dope wordplay and potent storytelling/name flips to take both the 2nd and 3rd rounds and beat back the performance-savvy and mayhem-lit, but not consistently hitting with the punches NXT.
Verdict: Ru Bando (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Ru Bando – “You ever fell asleep getting some pussy?, you’ll be laying in the box with your eyes closed!”
