Dorado goes behind Itami. Itami reverse it. Dorado takes Itami over with a snapmare. Dorado takes Itami over with a hurricanrana. Dorado drops down as Itami steps over him. Dorado attempts a leap frog, but Itami kicks him in the gut. Itami misses a head kick. Dorado ducks and kips up. Dorado hits a jump kick to Itami. Dorado goes for a springboard, but Itami kicks him in the head in midair. Itami sets up on the top rope. Dorado drop kicks Itami off. Itami falls to the outside. Dorado Asai moonsaults Itami. After a short break, Dorado is working an arm bar. Itami tries to fight out of it, but Dorado lands a spinning wheel kick to stop Itami’s onslaught. Itami clotheslines Dorado off the top rope.

Itami kicks Dorado in the head over and over again. KENTA combo by Itami. Itami calls for the corner hesitation dropkick, but Dorado moves out of the way. Dorado hurricanranas Itami. Dorado attempts a handspring attack, but Itami catches him in midair for a Go To Sleep. Dorado wiggles out of it. Dorado kicks Itami in the head. Dorado misses a shooting star press off the top. Itami boots Dorado in the head, then finally lands the hesitation dropkick in the corner. Itami picks up Dorado and obliterates him with the Go To Sleep for the win.

A great main event match between Dorado and Hideo Itami, letting the NXT and WWE Universe get better acquainted with both of their styles and actions in the ring. The usage of CWC stars on NXT and RAW has been consistently good, with most of them putting on athletically fast and unique offense. Itami picked up the win, but would be attacked by Austin Aires. Like I have said before, Austin Aries and Hideo Itami needs more physicality, with Aries doing most of the talking. Aries is such a good heel and it’s beginning to show with such a likable guy in Hideo Itami. Some of Aries’ best work was as world champion in TNA, but this stretch in NXT could be his most consistent. When you need a solid match to end the show, phone A double.
