Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel vs. Gran Metalik & Lince Dorado

[7.0] "MOTN in my opinion in what was a interesting clash of two different wrestling styles with Imperium using the hard hitting skills and old school wrestling based on power and strength while their opponents used their lucha libre and high flying arsenal as their mode of offense . The in ring quality delivered mainly as it was not a story telling or ring psychology classic . It was very fun back and forth wrestling with a good pacing and momentum . The match started with Imperium over powering the Lucha House Party due to their powerhouse ability . It lost its momentum somewhere in the start but regained it shortly after . My favorite moments were when Lince attempted a tope suicida but was caught by Aichner who then body slammed him onto the outside mat . Other than that , the part where Lince attempted a canadian destroyer or something of that sort on Aichner but Aichner avoided it however Metalik hit a missile dropkick which turned it into a code red for a near fall . I also liked the finishing stretch with agood number of near falls to add some suspense . I loved the finishing stretch as it was fast paced and allowed a upset victory for LHP . Although , I wanted Imperium to advance , in tournaments like these upsets out of nowhere are delightful to experience . ***3/4"

[7.0] "A classic clash of styles between the high flying babyfaces and the intense, grounded, old-school heel team trying to take them off their feet. Imperium looked crisp and rock solid in the ring, dominating most of the match, but the LHP were too fast and too fiery to keep down for long, and it ended up getting them the shocking win. I genuinely never expected LHP to walk out of here the victors, so that was interesting, but it was a very good, classic, fundamentally sound match throughout, showing why Imperium are so good, and why LHP deserve better than they've had for the last few years."

[7.0] "Good match which suprises me that The Lucha House Party wins it. Their high flying is good and glad to see them showes their true ability at NXT. (***3/4)"

[8.0] "Very nice match here! Back and forth and flyin'action! MOTN for me, good work also for the LHP/Legado."

[7.0] "Very good match in lucha libre style. Guys did everything very well. Everything clicked and worked fine. Totally worth watching."

[8.0] "A very good tag team match. The chemistry between the two teams is excellent, the sequences are good as are the spots, even if some are there to be there. The finish of the match is very well constructed, even if obvious when you see the table and the ongoing rivalry for the Lucha House Party. Both teams gave everything and it's nice to see Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado pushed into a tag team division. ***3/4"

[7.0] "Another upset on a great show full of them. Lucha House Party have been killing it since going to NXT and Imperium continue to deliver. Very good match worthy of being a part of this famed tournament. ***1/2"

[7.0] "great match between two really good teams, Imperium are always great, but with the way they are generally booked on the main roster you forget just how good Dorado and Metalik are, Metalik in particular is fantastic, but rarely gets to show it, he did here, I know they call him the king of the ropes but it's just ridiculous how smooth and fluid he is with them this match on paper looked great, a technical hard hitting ground predominantly ground based team vs a fast moving high flying team and it didn't dissappoint, check it out"

[8.0] "Great match between two talented teams that could make good matches with anyone. I had high expectations for this match which looked exciting on paper and it completely exceeded my expectations, it was even better than I had imagined. Two teams with different styles that connected very well with lots of nice moves and good sequences. So happy to see LHP win this match, they deserve it."

[8.0] "Best match on the show. They should have been given more time, they could have shown a decent match for 4. 5 stars. I don't even doubt it. These teams have great chemistry. The result of course surprised and I was even upset. Because on RAW, there are House Party jobbers, and on NXT, one of the strongest teams wins... 3. 75 stars"

[6.0] "I'm really happy Lucha House Party have time to show how good they can be. With a little of momentum and build, they made them credible Dusty Cup potential winners."

[7.0] "Incredible to think how better booked Lucha House Party are in NXT compared to the main roster. Great mesh with elite bases in Imperium, I never fail to enjoy Fabian Aichner plucking people out of thin air, and Marcel Barthel being awesome. LHP moving on made sense given their next round opponents."
