NXT + Impact

WWE NXT

Commentators:  Tom Phillips & Brad Maddox.  Ring announcer:  Kendall Skye.

Adrian Neville vs. Bray Wyatt(w/ Tag Team Champions Luke Harper & Erick Rowan):  Harper & Rowan ended Neville's Tag Team Title reign a few months ago...Oliver Grey was injured by the Wyatt Family so Bo Dallas substituted in the match.  However, Adrian got some payback by eliminating Wyatt from the battle royal a few weeks ago...and now we have this bout.  Wyatt dominates with his size advantage...and just as Neville mounts a comeback, Harper pushes him off the top rope for the DQ.  The troops move in for the kill, but recent Wyatt Family enemies Kassius Ohno & Corey Graves arrive to even the odds!  The good guys stand tall and Commissioner Dusty Rhodes takes a page out of Theodore Long's playbook...looks like a HOLLA HOLLA SIX-MAN TAG, PLAYA~!

Sami Zayn(OLE~!) vs. Angelo Dawkins:  I believe this is Dawkins' TV debut.  YAY WRESTLING~!  Dawkins has a size and power advantage so he tries to keep Zayn down on the mat, but that doesn't work for too long.  Zayn locks up the wrist and walks up the ropes into the flying tornado DDT for the victory.

Leo Kruger reminds us that he's still here.

Sasha Banks vs. Summer Rae, Women's Title Tournament:  The winner joins Paige Knight and Alicia Fox in the semifinals.  Summer dominates most of the match but Sasha won't stay down that easily.  Sasha goes aerial for a ropewalk armdrag but Summer stops her with Melina's old finisher(inverted facelock into a splits legdrop) for the win, advancing in the tournament.  Next week's quarterfinal match:  Emma Tayla vs. Aksana Raudoniene.

Xavier Woods vs. Jake Carter:  Woods does the pre-match promo:  He's gonna raise the roof and it's morphing time~!  Don't see nearly enough of Woods these days...according to Maddox, he's an expert Jenga player and has a crush on Topanga from Boy Meets World...don't see anything wrong with that, personally.  He's also a fan of The Big Bang Theory...WOO~!  Good quick matchup...Honor Roll(forward-roll clothesline) sets up Eat-The-Feet and Xavier gets the win.

Backstage, Renee Young interviews Sami Zayn...his win was a message sent to Antonio Cesaro.  They're even at one win apiece...how about a rubber match?  Works for me.

Elsewhere backstage, Sylvester Lefort(w/ Garrett Dylan & Scott Dawson) meets with Dusty...next week's main event will be Ohno/Graves vs. Dylan/Dawson for the next shot at the Tag Team Titles.

On location:  New NXT Champion Bo Dallas is still celebrating his win(complete with photos from Disneyworld).  Don't stop Bo-lieving!  He'll be back at NXT next week...but so will Big E Langston.

Kassius Ohno, Corey Graves, & Adrian Neville vs. Bray Wyatt & Tag Team Champions The Wyatt Familiy(Luke Harper & Erick Rowan):  Graves starts with Harper...Harper tries to push him around but it won't be that easy.  A lot of tags are made in the early minutes of the match until we get a brief reprisal of the Neville-Wyatt match that started the show.  Neville manages to turn a catapult into a landing on the second rope and then a double-stomp to the gut in one motion...ow.  Graves gets distracted by Wyatt and runs into IT'S THE BIG FOOT from Harper...for two.

That leaves Corey in the wrong part of town for a while...but he gets away long enough to tags in Ohno!  The house is on fire momentarily, but Rowan tosses Ohno out of the ring and Harper dishes out the abuse on the arena floor...just like that, the Family's back in command.  An Ohno/Harper collision allows Ohno to make hot tag number two of the match(this time to Neville)...let's try this house-afire thing again!  He springboards in with a dropkick on Wyatt, then nails the standing shooting star press...for two.  He dropkicks Harper out, then Ohno dropkicks Rowan out...Ohno stuns Rowan with a swinging kick through the ropes, then holds Harper & Rowan for Neville's running corkscrew plancha!  Neville stuns Wyatt with a roundhouse kick from the apron and goes up for the Red Arrow(corkscrew shooting star press)...but Harper pulls Bray out of the way!  Bray rolls back into the ring and covers Adrian...that's the ballgame!
