Austin Aries def. Angelo Dawkins
After a huge win in his debut match against Baron Corbin at TakeOver: Dallas, Austin Aries was riding high. Angelo Dawkins claims to have “the curse of greatness,” but he could not counter the energy of “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived.” Dawkins tried to ground Aries, but the NXT newcomer escaped and threw everything he had at his opponent. Aries clocked Dawkins in the jaw with a devastating rolling elbow to improve his NXT record to 2-0.
