Commentators: Tony Dawson & S. William Regal. Ring announcer: Byron Saxton.
Sami Zayn vs. Antonio Cesaro: This is a rematch from Zayn's debut week when he defeated Curt Hawkins and then upset Cesaro later in the show. Cesaro is all business here...he takes the fight to the floor, drops Zayn on the guardrail, then rams him into the ringpost! Back into the ring...oh yeah, we need an opening bell and there it is. Cesaro rushes Zayn in the corner with a EUROUPPERCUT~!...for two. Zayn fires back but he's already taken a beating...he still manages to counter another EUROUPPERCUT into a backslide for two. Zayn tries to leapfrog the incoming Cesaro only to land in a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker...that'll slow him down.
Antonio follows up with a double-stomp but Zayn still kicks out at two. Zayn busts out of a chinlock by backing Cesaro into the corner...then he hits a Blue Thunder Bomb for two! EUROUPPERCUT~! stops him in his tracks...for two. Deadlift gutwrench suplex gets two. More chops ensue in a match full of them, but Zayn headscissors Cesaro out of the corner and throws him right out of the ring! Time to fly...no-hands somersault plancha! Back inside, third floor...taking a bit too long...and he jumps right into a EUROUPPERCUT~! Cover...only gets 2 1/2! Cesaro's ticked off now...he grabs the chinlock but Zayn fights out of it, then somersaults up and over into a Code Red!...for 2 1/2! Both are slow to rise...Zayn charges at Cesaro only to eat a boot out of the corner. Cesaro blocks a small package attempt but Zayn escapes a suplex to roll him up(that's how he won last time)...for 2 1/2! Cesaro immediately grabs him in the chinlock again...Zayn tries to fight out but Cesaro keeps going back to the hold to wear him down. He finally loads him up in the Neutralizer and that's the ballgame...YAY WRESTLING~! Cesaro slaps him in the face for good measure and only the sudden presence of an extra referee prevents him from continuing the beating.
Baron Corbin & Travis Tyler vs. Garrett Dylan & Scott Dawson(w/ Sylvester Lefort): Let's see if Corbin fares better as Tyler's partner than Sawyer Fulton did a few weeks ago...yeahhhhh, not likely. Tyler gets trapped in the wrong corner in a hurry...Regal appreciates the old-school tactics of the Dylan/Dawson pairing. Tyler finally gets in a few shots on Dawson and tags in Corbin...the house is on fire but Dylan blind-tags into the bout. Dawson hits Corbin with the spinebuster and Dylan enters with the seated double-axhandle drop from the second rope...that'll do it as Dylan gets the pin. Dawson calls the combo "Southern Pride"...okay.
Alicia Fox vs. Bayley Rose, NXT Women's Title Tournament: Bayley's now sporting a bow in her hair along with a ponytail. Alicia's a former WWE Divas' Champion so this is an uphill battle for Bayley. Bayley gives her a hug, but Alicia's in no mood to play nice and beats her down(guess she's a heel tonight). Northern Lights suplex gets an early two-count...cue the chinlock(complete with hairyank to stop a comeback). Bayley finally fires up with forearm smashes and a monkeyflip...she hits a kneedrop for a two-count, then follows up with an exploder suplex for another near-fall. Alicia ducks into the ropes and kicks Bayley away(experience~!)...that's enough of an opening for Fox to hit the axe kick for the win! Alicia advances in the tournament and denies a fan's outstretched hand on the way out...yup, she's a heel. Looks like she faces Paige in the semifinals(barring a change in the displayed bracket graphic).
Big E Langston vs. Bo Dallas for the NXT Title: Dallas won an eighteen-man battle royal two weeks ago for this title shot. CHALK UP~! Yup, fans are behind Big E. Bo's attempt at an opening lockup ends in him getting backdropped across the ring. Bo gets off a dropkick that doesn't knock the champion off his feet, then Langston impressively leapfrogs Dallas(!) before shoulderblocking him to the mat. Bo dropkicks the knee and then low-bridges Big E out of the ring, but he waits in the ring instead of following him to the floor. Dallas goes on the attack on re-entry but Langston rams him into the turnbuckles in brutally direct fashion.
Big E continues his dominance for a while, getting a near-fall after a short-arm clothesline. Regal notes the focus on the ribs as Langston hits a big splash...Dallas fires up only to get elbowed out of the ring. Bo rolls out of the way of a second splash attempt, but three clotheslines don't take him off his feet. A ropewalk bulldog finally gets him down...for two. Bo sets up the spear but runs into a belly-to-belly suplex...now it's Langston's turn to rally. Knees to the gut(FIVE~! of them) set up the Vader Smash and THE STRAPS COME DOWN~! Big Ending? No, Bo hangs onto the turnbuckle for dear life and pulls off the pad in the process. Dallas escapes the move and shoves Big E forward into the exposed metal...not once but twice! Bo hits the snap belly-to-belly suplex and that's enough for him to win the NXT Title!
The fans don't seem impressed...Renee Young does the post-match interview with the new titleholder and he's going to Disneyworld! Okay then.
