NXT + Impact

WWE NXT

Commentators:  Tony Dawson & S. William Regal.  Ring announcer:  Byron Saxton.

Derrick Bateman vs. Kassius Ohno:  Bateman was a surprise breakout performer on NXT4 but he's been plagued by injuries since that time.  Ohno lures Bateman to the ropes and uses the CRAVATE~! to snap his throat off the top rope.  Bateman has a solid outing and gets several near-falls out of his comeback.  However, Ohno blocks the Sweet Meat Sizzler(had to look up the name of that move) and pushes him into the ropes for IT'S THE BIG FOOT...that's enough for the win.  Ohno's not done as he glares in Regal's direction before locking Bateman in a version of the Regal Stretch...this prompts Regal to leave the broadcast position to break up the hold.  Regal checks on Bateman and Ohno spins him around...only to get punched to the mat in response!

Renee Young interviews Bo Dallas...Bray Wyatt has got his attention.

Emma Tayla vs. Summer Rae:  Regal apologizes for his "unprofessional" actions in the previous segment.  I guess Emma's clumsy ring entrance is now a "thing" for her.  After a good early run by Emma, Summer snapmares her into the bottom rope a few times to hurt the leg...she even uses a modified Indian deathlock.  Summer does her own version of the primal scream to mock her rival Paige Knight, but that gives Emma a chance to fight back.  However, a big spinning kick puts a stop to that and Summer gets the win.  Match is over and heeeeere's Paige...Summer bails out of the ring in a hurry!

Renee interviews Tag Team Champion Adrian Neville...Oliver Grey is recovering from his injury from last week, but Neville wants to fight a member of the Wyatt Family next week.

Matt Striker interviews NXT Champion Big E Langston...his first title defense will be against Conor O'Brian and he vows to dominate.

Bo Dallas vs. Bray Wyatt:  These two are blood brothers, but nowadays Bray has his own "family" and has cost Bo a few matches in recent weeks.  They feel each other out in the opening minutes but Wyatt takes over with his size and power edge.  Bray stops a rally with a big uranagi but it only gets a two-count.  Avalanche sets up the Rapture but Dallas fights out of the move, then hits the snap belly-to-belly suplex for the win out of nowhere!  It looks like this issue has been settled, but Luke Harper & Erick Rowan attack Bo from behind as he leaves the ring!  Dallas fights off the assault and throws Rowan into Harper, but Wyatt catches him from behind with the Rapture...this feud MUST CONTINUE~!

Renee interviews Justin Gabriel about his feud with Leo Kruger...sounds like they'll meet again next week.

Ricardo Rodriguez introduces World Champion Alberto Del Rio for a friendly visit, but he's interrupted by U.S. Champion Antonio Cesaro.  Cesaro wants to fight Alberto tonight, but Commissioner Dusty Rhodes has a different champion-vs.-champion match in mind...CHALK UP~!

NXT Champion Big E Langston vs. U.S. Champion Antonio Cesaro, non-title:  This will be the toughest test to date for Big E...but he manhandles Cesaro like any other opponent.  Cesaro stuns the big man with his trademark European uppercuts, then avoids an avalanche before driving Langston to the mat with a knee from the ropes.  Cesaro impressively executes his deadlift gutwrench suplex on Big E and then slows him down with a sleeperhold...but Langston fights back with clotheslines and knees to the gut.  Vader Attack(called the E Train by Dawson) levels Cesaro...but Corey Graves runs in for the DQ!  Langston mows him down with the E Train as well, but Conor O'Brian shows up to un-even the odds.  The two join forces to beat down the champion as the show wraps up...
