WATCH: NXT Title Match Ends In Controversy, Situation Resolved After Show Goes Off The Air

It’s so simple. There are all kinds of ways to end a match and some of them are less clean than others. Every so often you will see a match end in a way that is designed to draw out some interest for the future. That appeared to be the case with a title match this week as the show went off the air, but the problem was solved rather quickly with the cameras still rolling.

The main event of this week’s NXT saw Trick Williams defending the NXT Title against Eddy Thorpe. The match ended with a double pin, with a different referee counting the fall for the other. General Manager Ava was confused to end the show. However, WWE has uploaded a clip from after the show, with Ava announcing that the match is officially a draw, meaning Williams retains the title.

It was a messy situation. Check out what happened during and after the match, plus how we got here:

Opinion: This is a bit of an odd way to go, as the ending seemed designed to set up a cliffhanger for next week but then they just wrapped it up a few minutes later. Odds are this is going to lead to something else down the line, but for now the whole story is already wrapped up. It’s just a weird way to go but for now, we are waiting to see where everyone gets to go.
