WWE NXT #436

WWEShowdown Report

December 30th, 2020 - Orlando, FL - Capitol Wrestling Center (WWE Performance Center)

In a packed Capitol Wrestling Center, WWE put on a show to remember as the December 30th edition of their flagship program went down. With six matches on the docket, we got a healthy dose of wrestling action, and I'm here to break it all down for you.

Match 1: Bronson Reed vs. Isaiah Scott - Singles Match

We kicked things off with a bang as Bronson Reed looked to extend his winning streak against Isaiah Scott. Reed's size and strength advantage proved too much for Scott, who put up a valiant effort but ultimately fell short. The decisive blow came when Reed delivered a thunderous diving splash from the top rope, securing the victory in 6:18.

Match 2: Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake and Zack Gibson) vs. Breezango (Fandango and Tyler Breeze) - Tag Team Match

Next up, we saw two of the promotion's most underrated tag teams go at it. The Grizzled Young Veterans' technical prowess proved to be too much for Breezango, as they used their quickness and agility to outmaneuver their opponents. A rolling neck snap from Drake sealed the deal in 9:02.

Match 3: Mercedes Martinez vs. Valentina Feroz - Singles Match

In a showcase of pure athleticism, Mercedes Martinez made quick work of Valentina Feroz. The veteran grappler used her experience and skill to outmuscle Feroz, finishing her off with a vicious running knee strike in just 2:09.

Match 4: Pete Dunne vs. Roderick Strong - Singles Match

In the night's first real barnburner, Pete Dunne clashed with Roderick Strong in a battle of wits and strength. The action was fast-paced and hard-hitting, with both men trading near-falls. In the end, it was Dunne who emerged victorious, pinning Strong after a stunning Bitter End (1) in 13:36.

Match 5: The Lucha House Party (Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado) vs. Legado del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza) - Tag Team Match

The Lucha House Party put on a show as they took down the high-flying Legado del Fantasma. The action was fast-paced and chaotic, with all four men taking part in a wild exchange of aerial attacks. In the end, Metalik and Dorado managed to corral Wilde and Mendoza, securing the win in just 3:49.

Main Event: Johnny Gargano vs. Leon Ruff - WWE NXT North American Title Match

And finally, we got our main event as Johnny Gargano put his WWE NXT North American Championship on the line against Leon Ruff. The two men put everything they had into this one, with Ruff giving it his all in a valiant effort to dethrone the champ. In the end, Gargano's experience and cunning proved too much for Ruff, as he retained his title with a pair of high-impact kicks and a vicious DDT in 14:12.

All in all, this was an excellent show from WWE, featuring a mix of veterans and newcomers going at it. With so many great matches on the card, it's no wonder this one will be remembered for some time to come. And that's the WWEShowdown Report!
