NXT FallOut

    The first post-TakeOver: Brooklyn III episode of NXT hit the WWE Network airwaves Wednesday night with an action-packed main event featuring stars from the United Kingdom.UK champion Pete Dunne and Wolfgang battled Tyler Bate and Trent Seven in a thrilling bout, but that was hardly the only in-ring action on this week's broadcast.Sarah Logan had a rare opportunity to show her skills ahead of the upcoming Mae Young Classic, battling the returning Peyton Royce in singles competition.The top moments of Saturday's massive live event special were also recapped in what amounted to an entertaining placeholder of a show.No Way Jose made his normal entrance into the arena but was jumped by the massive Lars Sullivan.He cut off Jose's attempt at fighting back and left him lying with a big slam.
        Peyton Royce returned to competition Wednesday night, squaring off with Sarah Logan, who has yet to string together enough in-ring performances in NXT to get fans to take notice of her. The former "Crazy" Mary Dobson sought that elusive victory that would turn her fortunes around.Logan outwrestled her Aussie opponent to start, frustrating Royce. The villainess seized control, using her long legs to choke her opponent.The underdog babyface fought back, though, delivering a German suplex and roll up that nearly stunned her opponent.A series of roll-ups followed and a fisherman suplex by Royce scored her the hard-fought victory.
          WWE United Kingdom champion Pete Dunne entered Barclays Center to an enormous pop Wednesday night, as he prepared to team with Wolfgang to battle former titleholder Tyler Bate and Trent Seven in an explosive tag team main event.Dunne and Bate started, delivering a chain-wrestling segment that popped the crowd and served as a strong cliffhanger heading into the commercial break.After a flurry of tandem moves by Bate and Seven, Dunne and Wolfgang took over, isolating the latter from his partner.A hot tag to Bate allowed the former UK champion to unload on his opponents, including a wicked lariat to Dunne.Bate hit the Tyler Drive 97 on Dunne, but an alert Wolfgang caught him with a senton to score the victory.

WWE Mae Young Classic Tournament Finals

The show opens with a video package setting up our two finalists, featuring short promos from both women.  Renee Young is standing by with the trophy, welcoming us to the show and tossing to a recap of the red carpet from earlier tonight.  Shown at ringside now are Dana Warrior, Beth Phoenix, Alundra Blayze and, in a different section, Mauro Ranallo. Renee tosses to Jim Ross and Lita at the commentary booth, where they talk up how important the tournament is for women's wrestling.  Kairi Sane is shown walking backstage as Jim talks her up, and then, by contrast, we're shown Shayna Baszler walking backstage with Ronda Rousey and Jessamyn Duke. This sets up a video package for Baszler followed by more folks at ringside, this time Ata Johnson and Erica Wiebe in one group, and Candice LeRae, Mercedes Martinez, Toni Storm, and Piper Niven in another.  Entrances for the finals follow, and Lilian Garcia returns to do the ring announcing for them.

UnEventful Main Event

         The Revival sat in on commentary, Matt and Jeff Hardy had the edge early as they took turns attacking Karl Anderson, The Club gained control by slowing the pace down and beating up on Jeff. Momentum continued to shift back and forth The Hardy Boyz emerged the victors' thanks to a Swanton bomb. Near the announce desk, The Revival and The Hardys brawled Anderson and Gallows leaped into the fray. The announcers tried to play up how much these teams can't stand each other, but WWE hasn't done a great job showing us that to this point Their issues don't feel especially personal. So, this brawl didn't have the emotional oomph it would have if it was set up better WWE appears to be headed toward a multiple-team Tag Team Championship bout. Cesaro and Sheamus don't really have any rivals at this point There isn't a singular story to dive into And so, a crowded stage is the only plausible direction for SummerSlam.             ...
