Dominik Dijakovic defeats Damien Priest

NXT January 29

On the outside, Priest held Dijakovic in the Razors Edge position and launched him into the ring apron sending NXT to a commercial break. Back from the break, Priest struck Dominik several times before hitting a flatliner for a two count. After receiving a chokeslam bomb, Priest rolled to the outside where Dijakovic hit him with a springboard Asai moonsault. Moments later, Priest would find Dijakovic on the outside so Priest executed a springboard tope con hilo. Priest went for a reckoning, but Dijakovic countered into Feast Your Eyes for the three count.

This match was hard hitting and contained some big moves, but it didn’t have the time to really get going.
