[2016-08-03-WWE-NXT] Hideo Itami vs Sean Maluta

[GOTNW]

This was perfectly ok though a little too evenly worked for my taste. Maluta is a samoan with bloodties to the business so you know he's gonna end up on the WWE payroll sooner or later. Maluta threw some solid kicks and his back elbow looked good but him ramming Itami into the corner for the transition was a bad Miz tribute spot I didn't buy at all. Itami looked good and more comfortable than better, it's just that the match was too evenly worked for Itami to look like a killer and Maluta wasn't good enough at gathering heat to make Itami look very sympathetic. Fine, a fun watch with some nice shots laid in but nothing memorable. **1/2-**3/4
