Couple of quick notes on St. Louis Anarchy this weekend: There were a few cancellations due to schedule conflicts(T.J. Perkins, Jonathan Gresham) and injury(Tadarius Thomas). A.C.H. was originally scheduled to face Perkins but will now take on Davey Vega(who's already booked in an unsanctioned street fight with K.C. Karrington). Arik Cannon was going to face Gresham while Tadarius Thomas was scheduled against Jojo Bravo; now it'll be Cannon-Bravo in a rematch from the previous show. See ya tomorrow night!

WWE NXT
Commentators: Tony Dawson & S. William Regal. Ring announcer: Byron Saxton.
Big E Langston vs. Aiden English(w/o entrance): CHALK UP~! As for the match itself...HAHAHAHAHA no. Backdrop, Vader Smash(unofficially dubbed the "E Train"), Big Ending, and three. Of course that's two fewer counts than Langston wants, so we get another Big Ending and a five-count. Big E turns to leave but the fans want more...sure, why not? Big Ending number three is delivered, another five-count is made. Langston finally leaves before the referee remembers the whole decision-reversal option...
Backstage, Renee Young interviews Emma Tayla...but she's more interested in goofing around with a bubble-shooting gun. She thinks she's gonna win...that's pretty straightforward.
Emma Tayla vs. Aksana Raudoniene, Women's Title Tournament: Our brackets appear to be set, so the winner will face Summer Rae in the semifinals. (The other semifinal is Paige Knight vs. Alicia Fox, for those keeping score.) Aksana held the Women's Title in FCW as well as the Queen's crown, but she has yet to win any gold in WWE. Aksana attacks right away with a yank of the hair and dominates most of the action, but she can't keep Emma down for the count. Aksana wastes too much time posing and earns a kick to the rear for it, then Emma double-legs Aksana to the mat and turns her over into the DilEmma(inverted STF) out of nowhere! Aksana has nowhere to go and finally taps out...Emma advances in the tournament and dances with some young fans afterwards.
Dante Dash(w/o entrance but w/ theme music) vs. Leo Kruger: Regal says that Kruger went back to South Africa to take care of some "business"...okay then. Dante doesn't fare too much better than Aiden English...Leo targets the arm with a hammerlock suplex, then nails the LARIATOOOOO~! Kruger gets the tapout win via GC-3(London Dungeon), then decides to lurk at ringside for our next bout...
Conor O'Brian refers to The Ascension and says "we" will rise...guess he's got a new tag team partner.
NXT Champion Bo Dallas vs. Mickey(fka Axl) Keegan(w/o entrance but w/ theme music), non-title: Bo briefly spots old rival Kruger on the way to the ring...okay then. Keegan is noted as a Killer Kowalski trainee, putting him in the same category as Triple H, Damien Sandow, and apparently Kofi Kingston(says Regal). The fans still aren't terribly fond of Dallas, even starting a breif "Keegan" chant. Keegan gets some token offense but Dallas hits the ropewalk bulldog, then finishes with the snap belly-to-belly suplex. Kruger enters the ring and drops Keegan with a hammerlock suplex, then LARIATs him to the mat before kicking him out of the ring. Cue staredown...Leo reaches out to touch Da Belt, then bids Bo "ta ta" before departing. Fans chant "Kruger"...
Kassius Ohno & Corey Graves vs. Garrett Dylan & Scott Dawson(w/ Sylvester Lefort): The winners will get the next shot at the Tag Team Titles held by The Wyatt Family(Luke Harper & Erick Rowan). The good guys isolate Dawson in the opening minutes, but the rednecks turn it around and keep Graves in their corner. Corey finally hits Dawson with a jawbreaker and tags in Ohno...time for STRIKING~! A blind tag leads to Dawson hitting the spinebuster and Dylan jumping off the second rope with the sitout double-axhandle(the combo that ended their previous tag matches), but Graves breaks up the pin attempt by Dylan.
Now it's Ohno taking a beating...Regal takes exception to the scattered "You Can't Wrestle" chants directed at Dylan & Dawson. Ohno finally fights away from Dylan and tags in Graves...the house is on fire! Graves imploring Dylan to "get up" would seem to conflict with his knuckle tattoos that say "Stay Down"...just saying. Chaos breaks loose and Ohno sends Dawson to the floor, then Graves takes out Dylan's knee and gets the tapout with the Lucky 13(Fuller Leglock)!
The bell rings and Harper, Rowan, & Bray Wyatt waste no time in introducing themselves to their next opponents. The numbers are against them until Adrian Neville runs in to help. Dawson & Dylan re-insert themselves to un-even the odds...and Regal leaves the broadcast table to join the fight! Unfortunately the numbers are too great and the good guys take a beating...Wyatt finishes by laying out Regal.

Afterwards, Hulk Hogan came out with an injured T.J. Perkins and said that Perkins had always been Suicide...someone attacked him and stole the suit, so he wanted to know who was under that mask. "Suicide" bailed over the guardrail...Hulk demanded that the masked man reveal himself before the end of the night.
