TNA XPlosion
Commentators: Jeremy Borash & Todd Keneley.
A.J. Styles vs. Robbie T(erry)(w/ Robbie E(ckos)): Proverbial uphill battle for A.J. here...his attempts to grab holds are literally shrugged off. Styles' dropkick doesn't even knock Robbie T off his feet and A.J. gets tossed into an involuntary slide into the ringpost. Terry takes a cue from the British Bulldog with a super-delayed vertical suplex. Styles escapes a second suplex attempt and kicks the leg, then snaps the throat off the top rope and nails the springboard forearm...for two. Eckos trips up A.J. behind the referee's back and Terry levels him with a clothesline...for two. Running powerslam attempt is escaped and A.J. gets a sleeper but Terry backs him into the turnbuckles. Chokeslam...no, Styles fights out of it and stuns him with a jumping enzuigiri, then follows that up with the Pele Kick for the 1-2-3.
WWE NXT6
Commentators: Tony Luftman, Byron Saxton, S. William Regal, & Jim Ross(for the main event). Ring announcer: Matt Striker.
Trent Barreta vs. Kassius Ohno: Barreta won a previous encounter with Ohno thanks in part to Richie Steamboat. Trent tries for an early sunset bomb to the floor but Ohno pulls the ring banner over Trent's head and stomps him in the face...that'll work. Barreta fights out of a dragon sleeper but Ohno maneuvers into a CRAVATE~! in response. The momentum shifts a few times but Trent hits a variation of the Dudebuster DDT after initially being blocked...for 2 1/2. Kassius hits a huge forearm smash out of nowhere...only to get small-packaged for 2 1/2. Ohno BOOTs him down...for 2 1/2. Barreta fights out of a superplex to hit a missile dropkick, but he whiffs on the Gobstopper Knee and Ohno bails to the floor to regroup. Trent chases him out there and back into the ring, but that's enough of an opening for Ohno to blast him with the roaring elbow...count it, ref. Ohno lines up for some post-match damage, but Trent ducks the Death Blow and Ohno ducks out of the ring only to eat a baseball slide. Looks like this issue isn't quite settled...I have no problem with this.
Corey Graves gets a vignette...good for him.
Big E Langston vs. Memo Montenegro: Montenegro is the brother of Alberto Del Rio...small world. CHALK UP~! Don't see Montenegro's debut doing well...opening lockup goes badly for him. Vader Smash, Big Ending, 1-2-3. Big E feels like a five-count is in order...so he hits the Big Ending again and does his own count. The fans want more carnage but EXCUSE ME...Vickie Guerrero threatens him from the NXT-Tron and puts a $5,000 bounty on his head. Langston is all "Okay, anyone want to try something?" He looks back toward Memo but Chad Baxter attacks him from behind...that doesn't go well for Chad. Vader Smash, Big Ending, self-delivered five-count.
Jason Jordan is already in the ring, but he's baaaaack...hello, Bray Wyatt. He speaks his mind but Jordan is looking for a fight. Wyatt says he's a monster and he's never alone...thus enters his follower.
Jason Jordan vs. ?(w/ Bray Wyatt): Regal briefly mentions Aiden English as Jordan's scheduled opponent but, hey, plans change. This large gentleman was known on the indy circuit as Brodie Lee, for reference. He brawls his way into a quick advantage, but a BOOT in the corner misses and Jordan gets a brief flurry of offense. However, it doesn't last as the big man drops him with a major Bossman Slam...that'll do it. Wyatt properly introduces "the first son of the Wyatt family" afterwards...his name is Luke Harper.
Saxton interviews Roman Reigns(formally dressed for the occasion)...Reigns immediately dismisses Saxton and does his own promo.
Justin Gabriel vs. Bo Dallas vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Jinder Mahal, four-way dance: Winner gets the next shot at NXT Champion Seth Rollins...J.R. and Regal are on the call for this one. This was taped a while ago so the 3-Man Band hadn't formed yet. Surprising that this is elimination-style as WWE's multi-way matches are usually one-fall. We immediately get Gabriel/Drew and Bo/Jinder as the pairoffs...the faces clear the ring, then Bo baseball-slides Drew and Gabriel takes out both heels with a huge somersault plancha!
Drew and Jinder start working together against Dallas(Gabriel's out on the floor)...but Mahal quickly double-crosses McIntyre with a clothesline. Drew makes him pay with a BOOT but Gabriel springboards in with a cross-body on Drew. Gabriel STOs Dallas...Bo avoids the springboard moonsault but Justin lands on his feet and clotheslines him to the floor. Gabriel tilt-a-whirls into a DDT on McIntyre, then hits a Blue Thunder Bomb on Mahal. Fall From Grace...HITS but he hurts himself on the landing and can't make the cover. Drew tosses Gabriel but Bo SPEARs Drew out of nowhere to eliminate him!
Gabriel tries to springboard back into the ring but Dallas SPEARs him out of the air...and that's another pinfall! That was fast...we're down to Bo and Jinder!
Rollins takes a seat on the entrance stage to watch the remainder of the contest...the fight spills out of the ring and Mahal runs Bo into the steel steps. Jinder controls the pace from there and cuts off a brief rally with a high knee...for two. Full nelson slam...gets two. Dallas makes the comeback and powerslams Mahal, but this time the spear misses and he hits the ropes hard. Camel clutch is locked in and Dallas has nowhere to go but Tapout City. A long-distance staredown ensues between champion and challenger...Mahal puts Bo in the camel clutch again, drawing Rollins into the ring for a fight. Mahal gets a close look at the title belt, but Seth fires back and Jinder retreats.
Next week: Seth Rollins vs. Jinder Mahal for the NXT Title.
