NXT + Impact

WWE NXT

Commentators:  Tom Phillips, S. William Regal, & Jim Ross.  Ring announcers:  Summer Rae & Byron Saxton.

Yoshi Tatsu & Percy Watson vs. The Wyatt Family(Luke Harper & Erick Rowan)(w/ Bray Wyatt):  I don't see this being too competitive...Wyatt observes from his rocking chair on the entrance stage.  Yoshi nearly takes out Harper with a Shining Wizard but chaos breaks loose and Percy tosses Rowan out.  IT'S THE BIG FOOT takes out Watson but Yoshi stuns Harper with the big roundhouse kick.  Third floor...but the spinning heel kick off the top misses.  Harper avalanches Yoshi and finishes with a huge discus lariat.

Paige (Knight) vs. Emma (Tayla):  This match has some international flavor as it's England versus Australia.  Emma shows off some dance moves on the way to the ring but Paige is OVAH.  Emma targets the knee with some innovative offense(FOOT DDT~!), then dragon-screw legwhips her into a half-crab before Paige kicks her away.  Paige wins a good match out of nowhere with the Paige Turner(Lightning Spiral)...she's not QUITE "undefeated" on NXT but she has been on a winning streak.

Bo Dallas & Michael McGillicutty vs. Primo & Epico Colon:  Last week McGillicutty made a surprise run-in to prevent the Colon cousins from double-teaming Dallas, setting up this bout.  Regal notes that everyone in this match is from a wrestling family.  The fans seem to want Rosa Mendes but she's not in the house for this one.  MM works a headlock against both opponents in the early minutes...is that a "HEADLOCK" chant?  Then the Colons take control against Bo and the fans chant "We Want Headlocks"...har har.  A double-team finally backfires and McGillicutty gets the hot tag...the house is on fire!  Epico nails Dallas and MM clotheslines Epico out, but the distraction is enough for Primo to hit the backcracker on McGillicutty for the win.

Seth Rollins vs. Big E Langston, no-DQ match for the NXT Title:  General Manager/Commissioner Dusty Rhodes added the stipulation to prevent The Shield from saving the title like they did last week...CONTINUITY~!  Byron does the ring announcing and J.R. joins Regal at the broadcast table.  Seth has no music as a heel in NXT.  CHALK UP~!  Langston has the obvious power edge but Rollins does his best to take out the leg.  Big E easily blocks an early Asai DDT attempt and gorilla-presses Seth out of the ring, but Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns jump Langston on the arena floor(no-DQ!).  Big E gets thrown into the steel steps...that's a momentum-shifter and Rollins does his best to keep Langston down.  A headscissors goes awry as Big E picks up Rollins on his shoulders for an electric-chair drop...the tide would appear to have turned.  Vader Smash takes out Rollins and Big E bashes Dean and Roman off the apron, but the troops hit the ring to break up a potential Big Ending.  The locker room empties to fight off Ambrose and Reigns, finally turning it back into a one-on-one situation.  Seth desperately goes for the Asai DDT and hits it...for 2 1/2!  He goes for the finisher again, but Langston blocks it and transitions straight into the Big Ending!  That'll do it...we have a NEWWWWW NXT Champion!  The roster hits the ring to celebrate with the new champ, then the ref staps the belt around his waist as we close the show...
