NXT, XPlosion, Impact

WWE NXT5.com

Your hosts are Josh Mathews & Matt Striker, your ring announcer is Eden Stiles.

Jimmy & Jey Uso vs. Johnny Curtis & Derrick Bateman: Striker put this match together for whatever reason...don't think Curtis & Bateman are gonna be on the same page. SIVA TAU~! Curtis tags himself into the matchup, then Bateman drops off the apron when Curtis wants to tag out. Derrick walks away from the ring and Jey capitalizes on the distraction...the Usos run roughshod over Curtis and Jey finishes with the Headshrinker Splash.

Tyler Reks & Curt Hawkins attack Yoshi Tatsu backstage so he won't be at ringside for the next matchup...

Trent Barreta vs. Curt Hawkins(w/ Tyler Reks): These two have battled in the past, including last week's tag match where Trent and Yoshi defeated Reks and Hawkins. Striker mentions that Reks & Hawkins started their own Youtube show in the footsteps of Zack Ryder...don't see it being QUITE as successful. Reks & Hawkins take the time to mouth off to Striker, allowing Barreta to turn things around. Reks runs interference long enough for Hawkins to cut off a Whisper In The Wind attempt, then Curt ends it with a Shortcut(corkscrew snapmare driver).

Kaitlyn Bonin vs. Maxine Perez: These two have come a long way since their NXT3 encounter which I affectionately refer to as The Worst Match Ever. Maxine actually comes up with a guillotine vice(!) but Kaitlyn powers her into the corner to escape. Bateman comes out with a microphone to talk to his ex-fiancee...and that distracts Maxine long enough for Kaitlyn to get the quick rollup pin. Bateman has the perfect "oh crap" expression on his face after that...but segues nicely into a cheesy romantic ballad before Curtis attacks him from behind.

Percy Watson vs. Tyson Kidd: Percy uses his power advantage in the early going, but Kidd yanks the arm over the ropes and delivers a pair of roundhouse kicks from the apron. Kidd tries to keep Watson on the mat but Percy powers out of a dragon sleeper and makes the comeback. Percy sets up a superplex but Kidd counters by snapping his throat off the top rope...he nails the springboard elbowdrop after that to score the three-count.

Backstage: Striker tries to break up the Curtis/Bateman/Maxine situation and vows the situation WILL end next week when Bateman faces Curtis.

Titus O'Neil vs. J.T.G.(w/ Tamina Snuka): Darren Young joins the broadcast team for this matchup...his arm is in a sling due to an injury suffered in his encounter with O'Neil last week. Titus dominates early but J.T.G. yanks him down from the apron, causing him to crotch himself on the ring apron banner. O'Neil fights back, kicking out of an O'Connor Roll and finishing decisively with the Clash Of The Titus. Young leaves the broadcast table to confront Titus...but J.T.G. grabs his foot, allowing Young to throw away the sling and attack. Guess he wasn't hurt THAT badly...and he lays out Titus with the Gut Check(Strongbuster) to close the show.

TNA XPlosion

Your hosts are Jeremy Borash & Taz.

Brother Devon vs. Christopher Daniels, Maximum Impact Tournament Semifinal: Devon defeated Robbie Terry and Daniels pinned Eric Young to advance to this point. The power game goes decidedly in Devon's favor, as you might expect...Daniels goes aerial in response with a flying forearm off the second rope. Daniels keeps him down but Devon reverses a suplex to kick off El Big Comeback...Daniels goes out of his way to get under his opponent's skin, but that only serves to fire up Devon. Daniels uses the referee as a shield, then gets a cheap rollup with feet on the ropes for the win...The Fallen Angel advances to the finals!

Next week: Frankie Kazarian vs. Samoa Joe in the other tournament semifinal.

TNA Impact
