WWE NXT Results: Winners, Grades, Reaction and Highlights from April 27

    The fallout from NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver has not stopped. That event reshaped NXT to the point that we are still experiencing the aftermath. The April 27 edition included plenty of fresh moments and matches as NXT refocuses on the future.

    Adam Cole was set to sit down with Arash Markazi to address his brutal match with Kyle O'Reilly. This was the first time we would hear from Cole since he had to be taken to a local medical facility by stretcher.

    Legado del Fantasma has lost its stranglehold over NXT's cruiserweight division. Kushida defeated Santos Escobar to become NXT cruiserweight champion, and MSK has gotten in the way of any attempted retribution. Fans would get to see these six men battle in a tag match.

    Mercedes Martinez laid her claim to the NXT Women's Championship, but she has felt ignored by Raquel Gonzalez. To get the champion's attention, she challenged her best friend Dakota Kai to a match.

    The Way may continue to hold control of NXT through the NXT North American Championship, but Johnny Gargano fears Bronson Reed. Unfortunately for him, Austin Theory challenged The Colossal to a match where Reed would get another title shot if he won.

    Robert Stone has been itching for a chance to solidify his brand. He managed to convince William Regal to let Aliyah and Jessi Kamea challenge Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart to a non-title match that could lead to a championship opportunity down the line.

    This show promised many important matches that could re-establish the hierarchy in NXT. Who would step up? Who would be knocked down?

Mercedes Martinez vs. Dakota Kai

1 OF 7

    Credit: WWE.com

    Mercedes Martinez tried to take a dominant first step in this match, but Dakota Kai answered with a DDT and corner running low boot.The two went back and forth in a competitive clash where The Captain of Team Kick sent her opponent to the floor with a corner kaio kick.

    Kai could not keep Martinez down, answering back with an emphatic discus forearm. She sent The Captain of Team Kick outside where Martinez and Raquel Gonzalez met face to face. A brawl broke out that led to the NXT women's champion booting her potential challenger in the face, causing a disqualification.

    The champion continued the onslaught on Martinez to make a point about her place at the top of the division. She threw her face-first into the barricade screen.

              

    Result

    Martinez def. Kai by DQ.

               

    Grade

    B+

                

    Analysis

    Before the non-finish, this was an excellent physical opener where both women shined. Kai looked like the more dominant force throughout, forcing her opponent to fight from underneath. This emphasized that Martinez will be the face in this rivalry with Gonzalez going forward.

    The disqualification was completely unnecessary, but it was only emphasized by the fact that Martinez supposedly almost won clean with so little offense mounted. There should have been a few more minutes to get to that moment.

    Gonzalez vs. Martinez is interesting, though the heel champion facing a face challenger may take some getting used to as Martinez has mostly played the dominant force in her rivalries to date.

Grizzled Young Veterans Meet Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher

2 OF 7

    Cameron Grimes went to a special store to buy the biggest and most expensive watch possible. Ted DiBiase made fun of The Technical Savage's watch, telling him he had the true million dollar watch.

    The Grizzled Young Veterans demanded MSK give them their one-on-one title match for the NXT Tag Team Championships. Tommaso Ciampa interrupted with the returning Timothy Thatcher. Ciampa and Thatcher started a brawl, standing tall over Zack Gibson and James Drake.

    Xia Li spoke in Mandarin about the dominance of Tian Shi before the mystery leader of the group covers the screen in smoke. Isaiah "Swerve" Scott told Leon Ruff he was proud of him and wanted to end him in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

               

    Grade

    B

                

    Analysis

    The smartest thing that NXT could do here was to let this feud build slowly. If this was Monday Night Raw or even Friday Night SmackDown, it is likely GYV would gave fought Ciampa and Thatcher on the same night. It is important to wait for the right moment on this Dusty Rhodes Classic rematch.

    MSK is preoccupied with Legado del Fantasma, but one of these two teams should be the next to compete against the champions at TakeOver. Ciampa and Thatcher have a chance to truly find their next gear as a tag team against GYV.

Toni Storm vs. Zayda Ramier

3 OF 7

    Toni Storm told Zoey Stark to watch closely as she punished a rookie in her place. The former NXT UK women's champion had this match in the bag since the opening bell. Instead of winning with the Storm Zero, she tried to inflict more punishment on the top rope.

    Stark arrived to distract Storm, allowing Ramier to knock Storm off the top rope. Ramier hit a shooting star press for a shocking upset victory.

              

    Result

    Ramier def. Storm by pinfall.

               

    Grade

    C

                

    Analysis

    This was not much of a match from Ramier, but it was an important moment in her early career. Thanks to the woman that has been at the head of the next generation of NXT talent, Ramier picked up a surprise win over one of NXT's absolute best female wrestlers.

    Storm will get her win back, potentially getting one over on Stark as well. However, the moment was enough to put Ramier in the conversation. She now has a chance to start competing as more than enhancement talent, potentially forming an alliance with Stark if Sarray is focusing on singles gold.

    NXT's women's division is already great, but the depth continues to impress no matter who leaves for greener pastures.

To Earn an NXT NA Title Match: Bronson Reed vs. Austin Theory

4 OF 7

    Credit: WWE.com

    Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae glared at Bronson Reed on his way to the stage. Indi Hartwell was clearly sulking when she walked out with The Way. Austin Theory was far too confident early, but after a superkick outside by Gargano, Theory hit a diving crossbody outside to take an emphatic advantage.

    The Colossal fought back with his pure power, nearly taking the win with a powerful chokeslam. Theory answered back, leaving both laid out. Dexter Lumis arrived to try and get close to Indi Hartwell, who seemed uncertain of him.

    Chaos ensued where Lumis took a hard elbow from Theory after pushing Hartwell out of the way. The Colossal ended it with the Tsunami.

              

    Result

    Reed def. Theory by pinfall to become the new No. 1 contender to the NXT North American Championship.

               

    Grade

    C+

                

    Analysis

    Reed vs. Theory was a fine but overbooked match. With so many stories happening in parallel, the main match was lost in the shuffle. There were far too many points late where both wrestlers were lying around waiting for other wrestlers to take action.

    Ind-Dex has developed strangely. To the story's credit through, NXT has made it interesting. Every week is an unknown. The fact that Lumis cannot talk only makes the story more fascinating. Every miscommunication is easy.

Killian Dain and Drake Maverick vs. Imperium

5 OF 7

    Credit: WWE.com

    Drake Maverick made clear that he did not trust Killian Dain going into this surprise match. He felt like The Beast of Belfast would turn against him.

    Dain started to ease Maverick's concerns. However, as with most of their matches, Maverick tagged in and got dominated by the heels. Imperium kept him away from his partner repeatedly then knocked The Beast of Belfast off the apron at the key moment.

    The smaller member of the team almost lost his hope, but Dain ran into the ring to make the save. Marcel Bartel demanded that Alexander Wolfe hit Dain with a steel chair. Wolfe held back due to their history, and the action broke down.

    Maverick had too much in this contest, diving into the arms of Fabian Aichner. Imperium finished him off with the elevated spinning uppercut. The Beast of Belfast looked over his injured friend.

              

    Result

    Imperium def. Drake and Maverick by pinfall.

               

    Grade

    B+

                

    Analysis

    The layers of solid storytelling in this match elevated it. Maverick went in ready to be betrayed. Instead, Dain fought his absolute hardest to protect his friend. It was a heartwarming scene, even in a loss.

    The man that showed some hesitation was Wolfe. He and Dain have history dating back to Sanity. It seems WWE is using that history to add more depth to the man that has often felt the most out of sorts in Imperium. Could Wolfe choose an old friend over his current allies?

    While recent angles have given some story to this tag team match-up, the battle between them tonight solidified this as a story to watch. A few more matches between these teams need to happen.

Moon and Blackheart vs. Aliyah and Jessi Kamea; Adam Cole Interview

6 OF 7

    Credit: WWE.com

    Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart received flowers. Franky Monet said they were from Dexter Lumis, which cause the two champions to argue over who they were truly sent for.

    This would lead to Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell attacking the NXT women's tag team champions from behind as they headed to the ring. The brutal attack left Moon and Blackheart unable to compete. Aliyah and Jessi Kamea celebrated in the ring like they had won.

    William Regal announced later in the night Moon and Blackheart would put their titles on the line against The Way in a street fight.

    Arash Markazi tried to interview Adam Cole, who was preoccupied. He was not bothered about his loss to Kyle O'Reilly. He saw himself as the face of NXT, and he laughed at the idea that O'Reilly or Karrion Kross could take his spot. The camera showed O'Reilly watching the interview, shaking his head.

               

    Grade

    B

                

    Analysis

    The two segments back to back here enforced the status quo of NXT. The Way continue to demand more opportunities against Moon and Blackheart, but LeRae and Hartwell cannot put it away. While this was the best The Way has looked against the champion, it was a segment not a match.

    Cole was the biggest star in NXT. He will likely remain on the black-and-gold brand for another year at least. However, it is time to stop considering him the biggest star on the show. This heel persona is the same man he was, just without back-up.

    Cole vs. O'Reilly went so long the first time it felt like two matches, but it is very likely that the two will have a legitimate rematch soon. Hopefully, that will allow O'Reilly to move on.

MSKushida vs. Legado Del Fantasma

7 OF 7

    MSK showed their appreciation to Kushida for helping them transition easily in NXT. Legado del Fantasma promised to get their revenge together before they claimed the titles that would be theirs.

    MSKushida looked like a well-oiled machine of a trio early. They pushed Legado del Fantasma out of the ring, standing tall together. However, Santos Escobar had a plan to divide and conquer. That plan was completed when Escobar powerbombed Kushida through the announce table.

    Wes Lee was left alone in the ring, taking a three-on-one beating. Only Nash Carter could make the save, returning to the corner in time to save Lee. However, the action broke down after that. Kushida took a Phantom Driver when he tried to help.

    Finally, Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde hit a Russian leg sweep/running dropkick on Carter to win. Legado del Fantasma stood tall with all the gold.

              

    Result

    Legado del Fantasma def. MSKushida by pinfall.

               

    Grade

    A-

                

    Analysis

    The show moved along at a steady pace throughout the night, but this was absolutely the highlight. MSK can make every match spectacular. Kushida is working at his best level right now. Together, they gave Legado del Fantasma their biggest challenge yet.

    Despite that, Escobar, Mendoza and Wilde remained dominant. It was unreal how good they made the faces look without ever losing control of this match. This was a fun war to watch unfold.

    Legado del Fantasma earned another shot at MSK. Escobar solidified his claim to a rematch with Kushida. This was everything it needed to be with a memorable image to close the night.

WWE Raw Results: Winners, Grades, Reaction and Highlights from April 26

Sana Ejaz Khan

    Credit: WWE.com

    Monday's episode of WWE Raw was the halfway point between WrestleMania 37 and WrestleMania Backlash, so this is usually when management starts filling up the card for the upcoming pay-per-view.

    After not appearing last week, Bobby Lashley returned to the red brand to address the WWE Universe and the man who will challenge him for the WWE Championship in three weeks, Drew McIntyre.

    Speaking of McIntyre, he teamed up with Braun Strowman for a rematch against Mace and T-Bar after last week's bout saw the former Retribution members unmasked.

    WWE acted like it was a huge surprise to find out who was under the masks, but anyone with a memory better than that of a goldfish knew it was Dio Maddin and Dominik Dijakovic the whole time.

    Let's take a look at everything that happened on Monday's show.

T-Bar and Mace vs. Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre

1 OF 7

    Instead of starting the show with a longwinded promo segment like it usually does, WWE jumped right to the action this week with Mace and T-Bar taking on McIntyre and Strowman. The former members of Retribution kept the masks off but introduced face paint to their look.

    When The Monster Among Men came out, he said this would be a handicap match instead of a tag bout so he could prove that he could do what McIntyre failed to do last week.

    The Monster Among Men started off against T-Bar and began easily dominating his opponent. Mace came in with a burst of offense to turn things in his favor. The ref ended up disqualifying Mace and T-Bar when they refused to stop double-teaming Strowman. This brought out The Scottish Warrior to make the save.

    We returned from a break to see the tag team match we were originally promised taking place. Poor timing led to McIntyre taking Strowman down with a clothesline. This led to Mace and T-Bar winning by count-out. After it was over, Strowman powerslammed McIntyre and yelled at him for not listening.

         

    Grade: C-

                               

    Analysis

    Ditching the masks was the best thing Mace and T-Bar could have done. Now, they just need to get their original ring names back, and they should be set.

    From a storytelling standpoint, this was almost the same thing we saw last week. No new ground was trodden, and nobody gained anything from the disqualification and count-out finishes.

    What helped was the physical exchange these Superstars had between the moments of bad booking. This match was four powerhouses beating each other up, so it had some enjoyable moments. This was not a good segment, but that is on the people booking everything, not the wrestlers.

The New Day and Damian Priest vs. Miz, Jaxson Ryker and Elias

2 OF 7

    The Miz, John Morrison, Elias and Jaxson Ryker were in the ring for another episode of Miz TV. The A-Lister bragged about his WWE Network documentary and his reality show. Once again, The Miz and Morrison took credit for Bad Bunny selling out his tour.

    They tried to perform a song, but Damian Priest quickly interrupted them. The New Day joined him in throwing tomatoes at the quartet as the show went to a break.

    We returned right as the bell rang for this six-man tag match. The heels almost immediately cornered Xavier Woods to gain the upper hand. He eventually managed to tag Kofi Kingston and turn the tide in his team's favor.

    Having Morrison at ringside gave the heels a slight advantage at times. Whenever the good guys had control for too long, somebody from the other team would interfere to stall their momentum.

    After everyone got involved, Woods was able to get the pin on Ryker with an inside cradle.

         

    Grade: C+

                                 

    Analysis

    We all knew the feud with The Miz and Priest was going to continue, but this seems to confirm the feud with The New Day against Ryker and Elias will also move forward.

    Raw's tag team division is thin right now, so it's a little surprising to see a non-title storyline when we haven't even seen AJ Styles and Omos since WrestleMania. We also have The Viking Raiders possibly continuing a feud with Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin, so it's possible WWE is covering for one of the Raw tag champs being injured or sick.

    The wrestling itself was fine if a little forgettable. WWE's six-man matches usually follow a few formulas, and this was definitely one of those times. Ultimately, this win will mean nothing, but at least the match had a few decent sequences.

Another Non-Match Between Sheamus and Humberto Carrillo

3 OF 7

    Sheamus was out to issue another open challenge this week, but he said his U.S. title would not be on the line. Last Monday, he destroyed Humberto Carrillo for trying to accept the challenge and laughed about it during the replay. Carrillo came out for a second shot at The Celtic Warrior.

    Sheamus took a cheap shot at him and beat him down mercilessly. Carrillo recovered and jumped on the champion before backdropping him out of the ring. He hit three dropkicks and a huge suicide dive to send him over the announce table.

         

    Grade: C

                                       

    Analysis

    It's great to see Carrillo back in the mix and already in the hunt for the U.S. title, but seeing as how Sheamus just won the belt, it doesn't seem likely this will end with a title change.

    This segment didn't do much to move the storyline forward, but it did help Carrillo rebound a bit after being demolished last week. It might be 50-50 booking, but at least it makes sense in this situation.

    Next week will probably be when they have their first official match. If Carrillo wins, he will almost certainly earn himself a title shot at Backlash.

RKBro vs. Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin

4 OF 7

    Randy Orton had a backstage segment with Riddle and admitted he underestimated him last week. He offered to team up with The Bro this week to battle Alexander and Benjamin.

    Riddle started off with Alexander and almost locked in the Bromission right away. Alexander was able to counter and tag in Benjamin to take over. They kept Riddle grounded for a long time with quick tags and focused offense on his legs.

    The former MMA fighter drilled Alexander with a knee to the face so he could tag The Viper. After an initial salvo, Orton lined up for the RKO. He ended up hitting an RKO to Alexander as he flew off the top rope. Riddle begged for the tag, so Orton obliged and spiked Benjamin with a DDT.

    Riddle followed up with the Floating Bro to score the pin. He went in for a hug, but Orton backed him off and left him to celebrate by himself.

         

    Grade: B+

                               

    Analysis

    Riddle can be annoying with his gimmick, but the exchange he had with Orton backstage was just the right amount of dumb to be funny. The Viper's deadpan delivery is what really sold it.

    The match that followed was surprisingly straightforward. Orton did not turn on Riddle, and this wasn't an excuse to get revenge. He actually seemed to want to make this work even if he finds The Bro annoying.

    As usual, Alexander and Benjamin looked great. This was a solid match and one of the better things Riddle has been involved with in quite some time.

Asuka, Lana and Naomi vs. Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler and Rhea Ripley

5 OF 7

    Asuka and Shayna Baszler started for their teams. Asuka grabbed Baszler by the arm and tried to make her tag out to Rhea Ripley, but it temporarily backfired on her.

    Ripley ended up tagging in, and Asuka managed to get the upper hand. As soon as Lana took a turn in the ring, the Raw women's champion regained her composure and started dishing out punishment.

    Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke came out to watch from ringside, so Baszler tried to run them off. They threw a bucket of water on her. When Nia Jax tried to help her partner, she ended up slipping in the water a few times.

    We returned from a break to see Lana make the hot tag to Asuka. The Empress knocked Ripley off the apron with a running hip strike before going after the legal woman, Baszler. Jax ended up getting the win with a big leg drop.

         

    Grade: C-

                                  

    Analysis

    The booking of everything we saw with Rose and Brooke was beyond moronic. Jax falling in some water was not nearly as funny as WWE wanted it to be.

    However, the six women in the match actually put on a decent show when they weren't trying to make this into a cartoon. Ripley and Asuka looked especially aggressive at times.

    Also, the sudden turn of Ripley into a heel since WrestleMania seems ill-advised. The WWE Universe likes her, and it's unlikely a live crowd would boo her right now.

Charlotte Flair vs. Mandy Rose

6 OF 7

    Sonya Deville brought Charlotte Flair and the official she attacked last week to the ring. Deville reminded The Queen that she was suspended and fined, but she also said Adam Pearce rushed his decision and gave her the floor to give an apology.

    Charlotte started by apologizing to management and the fans before she got to the ref, Eddie Orengo. She specifically apologized for attacking him, and he accepted. He admitted that if had he seen Rhea Ripley interfere, she would have won the match.

    Deville said Charlotte's suspension had been lifted and announced her return to the ring tonight. The Queen stopped her and demanded an apology from Orengo. He said he was sorry, and she gave a glib smile before telling him to hold the ropes for her as she left. Pearce saw them backstage and expressed his anger that Deville would do this behind his back.

    Later in the show, Deville booked her former bestie, Mandy Rose, to face The Queen. Shockingly, The Golden Goddess was able to get in a lot of offense early in the match. A close call with the official almost cost Charlotte.

    The Queen was able to get the win, but she was still irate at the ref for almost costing her the victory.

         

    Grade: B-

                               

    Analysis

    Deville has been showing signs of wanting to make a play for Pearce's job for weeks, and it is finally starting to be a bigger part of the ongoing story. This could lead to some interesting moments in the coming weeks.

    The segment with Charlotte and the ref was good. It let her be the pompous heel she has become and allowed Deville to show a few of her true intentions.

    Rose has consistently been improving in the ring ever since she got to the main roster. Being able to hang with Charlotte in this bout move-for-move shows how far she has come.

    This bout wasn't too long, but it did enough to tell the story it needed to tell.

Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman

7 OF 7

    The main event of the night saw Strowman and McIntyre meet for a singles match. Strowman worked out a deal with Pearce to earn a spot in the Backlash WWE title bout if he won this match.

    After a few minutes of back-and-forth action, Lashley came out to watch the match for himself. We returned from a break to see Strowman send McIntyre into the corner with a huge Irish whip. No, we won't call it a Scottish whip just because McIntyre is from Scotland. We're saving that for a PPV.

    The Scottish Warrior blocked a clubbing blow and hit the Glasgow Kiss to get a comeback going. MVP and Lashley got involved at one point, but they were knocked off the apron.

    Mace and T-Bar tried to interfere and were able to distract McIntyre long enough for Strowman to hit a powerslam for the win.

         

    Grade: B+

                               

    Analysis

    If you like matches where two big dudes beat the life out of each other, this is for you. McIntyre and Strowman know how to work snug and always make their fights look great.

    This was easily the best match of the night because it was simple and effective. The way it was booked at the end fell apart a little, but the majority of what we saw was solid.

    Adding Strowman to the WWE title match at Backlash was predictable but necessary. If The All Mighty is going to retain, he will probably pin Strowman to protect McIntyre for a future encounter.

    This wasn't a great episode, but it was definitely better than the last two weeks. That might be a low bar to clear, but at least it's something
