Your hosts are Matt Martlaro & S. William Regal.
Tag Team Champions Calvin Raines & Big E Langston vs. Percy Watson & Tito Colon, non-title: Interesting first-time teamup of Percy and Tito, let's see how they do against the powerhouse champs. Watson surprisingly comes out on top of a shoulderblock exchange with Raines, then he tags in Colon to keep Calvin off-balance with his aerial offense. The champs try to isolate Percy but he gets out of the corner, leading to a brief exchange of words between the partners...the faces capitalize and clear the ring with a pair of double-dropkicks. The commentators note that Watson/Colon are a new team, but then so were Raines/Langston when THEY won the belts. The champs get back on the ball and take control, isolating Percy and then quickly cutting off Tito when HE tags into the fray.
Throughout the match, Martlaro gets word on the participants in the four-corner main event while Regal hears nothing...Regal jokes about how he's a long-time friend of General Manager Norman Smiley and Norman really should stay on his good side. Immediately, Regal gets word in his headset on the final participant in said main event...heh. Calvin shows some agility by jumping to the top rope in one leap to deliver a flying clothesline...nicely done. Colon reverses a whip into a Flatliner out of nowhere...and tags are made on both sides! OH YEAH~! Percy whiffs on a dropkick but keeps up the pressure, nailing Raines on the apron...Langston attempts the Big Ending, Watson escapes and rams Langston into Raines, then gets the surprise three-count with an O'Connor Roll! I suspect Watson and Colon have earned themselves a title shot in the near future...
Briley Pierce interviews Alexander Rusev and Raquel Diaz...Briley doesn't quite have the hang of this interviewing thing, but Raquel does well enough for herself.
Earlier today: Matt Martlaro conducted a sitdown interview with Heavyweight Champion Bo Rotundo and Husky Harris. Bo has to defend his title next week against the winner of tonight's four-corner main event...Bo's ready for the challenge. Husky jokes about how he used to beat up his brother a lot when they were younger and they should just be co-champions. Rotundo wonders where that Nexus armband went...heh.
Hunico vs. Dean Ambrose: There has been a lot of hype surrounding Ambrose's arrival in FCW...he's got some tough competition for his TV debut against the former Tag Team Champion. He has no problems in the intensity department, though Hunico controls the early stages of the match. Hunico goes to the second rope early and Ambrose yanks him down by the leg...ow. Hunico gets off some more aerial offense and hits the rolling Death Valley Driver, but Ambrose retreats to avoid the Falling Star swanton bomb and then lures Hunico into a huge clothesline. He finishes with an Air Raid Crash(Regal actually calls it the Emerald Frosion)...quite the impressive debut for Dean Ambrose. Ambrose calls out FCW 15 Champion Seth Rollins once again after the match...
Husky Harris vs. Lucky Cannon: By order of GM Norman Smiley: Damien Sandow, Maxine Perez, AND Bo Rotundo have all been banned from ringside. Husky made amends with his brother last week by saving him from a beating at the hands of Cannon and Sandow. Husky goes right to town on Lucky, sending him into retreat mode and grabbing for a chair. However, the chair is just a feint as he pokes Husky in the eye while the ref is disposing of the weapon. Martlaro notices that Regal has received a text message during the match...Regal won't divulge what it's about. Harris makes the comeback...FLYING CROSS CHOP(tm Starman)~! A blind charge hits turnbuckles and Lucky tries a rollup, but Harris blocks that by holding the ropes and sitting on Lucky. Repeatedly. Cannon is down and in pain...Husky follows up with the SENTON~! and gets a big win over the former Heavyweight Champion!
Briley Pierce interviews Byron Saxton(w/ arm in sling)...Titus O'Neil was the big-shot University Of Florida graduate, but Byron reveals that he went to the same college and they were friends at one time. He even helped O'Neil and Sandow win the Tag Team Titles...but he feels like Titus disrespected him on NXT5 and then intentionally injured his shoulder in last week's match.
Quick shot of the broadcast table...Regal's cellphone is ringing off the hook.
FCW 15 Champion Seth Rollins vs. Mason Ryan vs. Johnny Curtis vs. Roman Leakee, non-title: As stated, the winner of this match gets a Heavyweight Title shot at Bo Rotundo next week. Ryan is a former champion and lost the title to Rotundo several months ago. Curtis had many shots at the title against several different champions, but "winning the big one" hasn't happened for him yet. Ryan is seen as the biggest threat for obvious reasons and he fends off his opponents one by one. It takes a double-team effort by Curtis and Rollins to finally knock Ryan off his feet, then double-clothesline him to the floor. Rollins tries to steal one with a quick rollup on Curtis but Curtis kicks out AND gets a Fujiwara armbar in the process. Outside the ring, Leakee posts Ryan and has to jump in the ring to break up Curtis' hold. Regal notes that Fujiwara helped him come up with the Regal Stretch...then notes that Curtis used his move when he takes out Leakee with a running knee strike. Fine exchange between the three faces in the matchup until Ryan finally gets back into things and overpowers everyone.
Regal talks up Ryan as a protege of his old friend El Bandido(OLDSCHOOL~!)...as it stands at this stage of the match, Ryan is the obstacle that the other three have to overcome. Curtis fights out of a superplex attempt but Ryan rolls out of the ring to avoid disaster. Rollins goes for the superplex and Curtis fights HIM off...Leakee tries his hand but Rollins takes out Leakee with a jumping enzuigiri from the apron. Rollins takes out Ryan with a moonsault off the apron, then powerbombs Leakee to break up his superplex attempt! Rollins covers, but Curtis breaks up the pin with a huge guillotine legdrop and covers Leakee for the three-count himself!
Next week: Bo Rotundo vs. Johnny Curtis for the Heavyweight Title. So long from the Sunshine State!
