Adam Cole had a close shave during the opening contest

Adam Cole and Danny Burch had a fantastic opening contest, where it seemed like Burch had the upper hand at certain points. Yet, Cole picked up a big win with the Last Shot. He even kicked out of Burch's finisher- The Tower of London.

Herein lies a big component that differentiates NXT from the main roster. Jeff Hardy was pinned in a non-title match on live TV. NXT will hardly ever showcase their champions as weak, even on weekly television.What is next for Adam Cole? I think great things are due for him, over the coming months.

Tyler Bate could not bear to see his friend in peril

When these four men got into the ring and took each other to the limit, the crowd was absolutely ecstatic at once. All of the competitors worked wonderfully with one another telling a fantastic story, centered around Trent Seven. The story of how The Undisputed ERA were sharks, smelling blood, attacking Seven's leg and taking it apart piece by piece.

The announcers must be commended for how they called this match. Against the backdrop of the NXT Universe chanting 'this is awesome' and 'NXT', the announcers spoke of the agony and anguish that Trent Seven was feeling as a result of the punishment he was enduring. They also spoke of the bond between Tyler Bate and Trent Seven, and how much this punishment was affecting the babyface Bate.
