Top 5 Matches of This Week

Here are my picks for my Top 5 Matches of the Week (Friday Fab 5)

5) Ricochet v Cesaro
This being their 3rd match in as many weeks, is showing the true capability of Ricochet and Cesaro to put on a high quality match. It featured a lot of back and forth fluid offense and timed to perfection strong style moves with a bit of high flying. In the end Ricochet used mat wrestling to pick up the win.
4) Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods (The New Day) v Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn
Going into todays Super Showdown  Kofi and Xavier wanted to finish off their feud with Sami and Kevin and it delivered an exciting match with a few good near falls. The match started off slow with Xavier getting the most of the abuse but once he was able to tag in Kofi, momentum was on their side and they rode it to victory.
3) Drew Gulak v Akira Tozowa
An impromptu match allowed by GM Drake Maverick on 205 Live, this match was battle and maybe a rivalry renewed between these 2 superstars. I must say this match was brutal. Very technical and physical. Drew Gulak surprised me the most with his Malenkoesque style of wrestling he is portraying now. I do like his new persona however and as much as Tozowa held his own Gulak took the pinfall by submission and won the match.
2) Keith Lee v Kona Reeves
NXT's first match this week was featuring two future stars of their brand in Lee and Reeves. WOW! Very impressive story telling, hard hitting moves back and forth, and Kona faking an injury made this match a must watch. After using his fake injury to his advantage, Lee was able to garner momentum and win by his powerslam finisher and the fans were able to bask in his glory. Great match.
  1) Bianca BelAir v Mia Yim
Like Ricohet v Cesaro, this was also the 3rd match between BelAir and Yim and man did it deliver. Both women gave it their all and earned the respect of the NXT Universe. I am a fan of both women and was happy that Mia Yim won the match. A lot of power moves and near falls that told a great story of heart and determination. Mia won the match with a top rope neck breaker that looked worse than what it was but in the end a great match
