WWE NXT6

Commentators:  Byron Saxton, S. William Regal, & Jim Ross(for the main event).  Ring announcer:  Summer Rae.

Bo Dallas vs. Michael McGillicutty:  Regal notes that these men's grandfathers probably tangled in the past(Blackjack Mulligan and Larry "The Ax" Hennig, for reference).  It's all Bo for a few minutes until MM throws him shoulder-first into the ringpost...McGillicutty slows the pace and works on the arm after that.  Dallas manages a re-entry sunset flip for a quick two-count but MM stops him with a single-arm DDT(PSYCHOLOGY~!).  Bo still manages a full-fledged rally and nails the bulldog...but foregoes the pin attempt to set up for the spear.  MM rolls to the ropes for a break, then gets in a cheapshot as the ref backs Bo off.  One Headturner neckbreaker later, McGillicutty gets the win...is the NXT Title in his future?

Paige Knight gets a vignette...she's been training since age thirteen, so she's here to be a fighter and not a "diva".  The less you know about her, the better...

Jake Carter vs. Leo Kruger:  El Hijo Del Vader seems to be flying solo these days...on the other side of the ring, Kruger's become what Regal refers to as a "big game hunter".  The South African dominates the matchup with his new rougher style...Carter manages a brief comeback but misses a Stinger Splash.  Kruger capitalizes with the Shortcut(Kruger's End) for the win.

Ryback vs. Aiden English & Francis Rene Dorian(thank you, Mr. Regal):  This goes exactly as you might think...heh.  English takes an Over-The-Shoulder Boulder Holder and powerbomb, Dorian takes the LARIATOOOOO.  Of course, Ryback finishes with the Shellshock on both opponents at once...feed him more.

Richie Steamboat vs. Kassius Ohno:  This has been building for a few weeks...YAY WRESTLING~!  Steamboat gets several quick pin attempts in a row, sending Ohno to the apron to regroup.  Ohno finally turns the tide by introducing Steamboat to the ringpost...yup, that would do it.  The momentum shifts a few times as the two trade strikes and near-falls...but Ohno finally stops Richie with IT'S THE BIG FOOT...for two.  Steamboat goes to the ropes as Ohno goes for his modified cravate hold...the ref backs Kassius off and Richie nails the superkick!  Cover...gets two.  Third floor...moonsault misses!  Ohno rolls him up...for two!  Corner forearm hits but Steamboat ducks the roaring elbow...and small packages him for the flash pin!  Ohno blows his top and levels Richie from behind, then hooks him in the cravate hold until the referees hit the ring to restore order.

TNA Impact

-Commentators:  Mike Tenay & Taz.
-World Tag Team Champion Of The World Christopher Daniels(w/ Frankie Kazarian) won a triple threat match with Kurt Angle(w/ A.J. Styles) and Chavo Guerrero Jr.(w/ Shawn Hernandez); the referee ejected all the tag partners from ringside midway through the bout.  Daniels took advantage of miscommunication between Angle and Chavo, pinning Chavo after an STO.
-Tara Varon d. Women's Tag Team Champion O.D.B.(w/ Eric Young) after faking a knee injury and luring O.D.B. into a small package(with a foot on the ropes for illegal leverage).
-Samoa Joe d. Ken Anderson with the Kokita Clutch to win the vacant T.V. Title(Brother Devon forfeited the title upon leaving the company).
-Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries & Jeff Hardy d. Bully Ray & Bobby Roode.  Aries passed on a chance to tag Hardy at a key moment, making his own comeback and hitting the brainbuster on Roode.  However, Hardy tagged himself into the match as Ray dragged Aries to the floor...Jeff hit the swanton bomb on Roode for the win, but Aries wasn't happy with his partner's actions.
