WWE has been on tour of Europe for the past week, and it decided to honor its loyal English fans with a little treat prior to the “Main Event” tapings on Tuesday.
Popular NXT Superstar Sami Zayn, known in the past for his El Generico gimmick, took on the UK’s-own Adrian Neville in a dark match prior to the show. Neville is the current NXT Champion. Fortunately, for many NXT and wrestling fans, the match has leaked on the Internet.
Neville would pick up the win in the bout, which was given a fair share of time to breathe. The crowd also serenaded the two with an “NXT” chant, showing the success thus far of the developmental system. They will both be showcased on the upcoming “NXT Takeover” on May 29. It will be the second live special the promotion has put out since the debut of the WWE Network.
Editor’s Note:
These two can go, and I can’t wait to see them debut on the main roster. Give them some time though, first.
