WWE NXT

Commentators:  Jim Ross, Tom Phillips, & S. William Regal.  Ring announcer:  Howard Finkel(!).

Kaitlyn Bonin vs. Natalya Neidhart for the Women's Title:  Well, Nattie HAS been winning lately, so good for her.  I am quickly reminded that, in the realm of ring announcers, there's The Fink and there's everyone else.  YAY WRESTLING~! as Natalya takes it to the mat, then they trade pin combos until Kaitlyn powers out of a Sharpshooter attempt.  Nattie responds with a huge short-arm clothesline and that'll slow the pace JUST a bit.  They trade abdominal stretches as the fans bring the dueling chants...heh.  Kaitlyn rallies with a flying shoulderblock and fireman's-carry press into a gutbuster...for two.  Spear is leapfrogged and Nattie double-legs her into the Sharpshooter...Kaitlyn's a long way from the ropes but she manages to get there, then pulls Natalya into the turnbuckles with her leg strength.  Nattie tries a last-ditch charge but runs into the SPEAR and Kaitlyn retains her title!  Mutual respect does occur afterwards...

Backstage, Tony Dawson interviews World Champion Alberto Del Rio about his feud with Jack Swagger.

Brodus Clay(w/ Funkadactyls) vs. El Local:  I don't like the masked man's chances...but he puts up a surprisingly decent fight for a little while.  However, one aerial move too many leads to Local literally falling flat on his face...and it's downhill from there.  Big splash, good night.

The following announcement has been paid for by The Shield.

Dawson interviews John Cena about his WWE Title match with The Rock at WrestleMania.

We visit the commentary booth...where Kassius Ohno attacks Regal out of nowhere!  The referee brigade arrives to get him out of there, but the damage has been done.

Randy Orton vs. Damien Sandow:  Sandow enlightens us before the match...you're welcome.  Standard-issue match between these two...we're down to J.R. and Phillips on commentary with Regal out of commission.  Sandow puts up a pretty good fight, all things considered...but Orton maneuvers into the 3.0 backbreaker to stop his offensive.  Hanging DDT follows, then the RKO and we're out.
