Dillinger/Moss was said to be the match of the night, and the other highlight mentioned in live reports was Dash Wilder faking an injury so well the crowd really fell for it before the Revival sneak attacked Mojo & A-Ry.
A lot of fans were unhappy that Shinsuke didn't wrestle on a card that was already missing Bayley, Finn Bálor, American Alpha, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, etc.
Terrible show at #NXTFtPierce. No @itsBayleyWWE, @wwebalor, @SamoaJoe. Not even a match with @ShinsukeN. What did we do to deserve this?

Which may be why they did a locker room clearing finish where everyone forced Dash & Dawson into the ring after the main event to eat the babyface's finishers.
