WWE NXT

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

Backstage, Renee Young starts the show by interviewing NXT Champion Bo Dallas.  His Bo-Lievers are supporting him!  Antonio Cesaro interrupts the promo, feeling like he's earned far more in this business than Bo.  Sounds like a main event...Cesaro says there will be No More Bo after tonight.

Paige Knight vs. Alicia Fox, Women's Title Tournament Semifinals:  Paige defeated Tamina Snuka to advance in the tournament while Alicia beat Bayley Rose to reach the second round.  The two trade quick pin attempts in the early minutes of the bout, then Alicia yanks the hair to firmly establish herself as the heel.  This fires up Paige in a big way but Alicia kicks her away, then hits the Northern Lights suplex for two.  Alicia slows the pace a bit, but then Paige returns fire with her own hair pulls.  Paige repeatedly knees her in the face but Fox dropkicks her out of nowhere...for two.  Paige fires off her own kick to the midsection to stop Alicia in her tracks, then hits the Paige Turner to finish!  Paige advances to the finals to face either Emma Tayla or Summer Rae!

Andy Baker vs. Conor O'Brian(w/ Rick Victor):  Yeahhhhh, I don't see this debut going well for Mr. Baker.  Regal informs us that Baker is another import from the United Kingdom.  Baker gets in a few shots but that doesn't last...a solo Flapjack and Legdrop O' Doom to the back of the head end it for O'Brian.

Backstage:  Renee Young interviews Corey Graves & Adrian Neville.  Kassius Ohno is out of action thanks to the Wyatt Family's attack last week...so now what?  Graves & Neville humbly request the assistance of Mr. Regal(who assisted them last week)...hmm.

Xavier Woods vs. Scott Dawson(w/ Sylvester Lefort):  Garrett Dylan is absent this week as Dawson's flying solo.  This would qualify as a contrast in styles, yes.  Woods rallies at the end with a John Wu Dropkick, Honor Roll(forward-flip into a clothesline), and Lost In The Woods(Eat-The-Feet) for the hard-fought victory.

Bray Wyatt(w/ Tag Team Champions Luke Harper & Erick Rowan) enlightens us.  Follow the buzzards.

Mason Ryan vs. Enzo Amore(w/ Colin Cassady):  Amore declares Ryan to be "SAWFT"(spelled out).  He then steps in the ring and loses after a single punch...ha ha.  Amore says he wasn't ready and sends in Cassady for an impromptu challenge...

Mason Ryan vs. Colin Cassady(w/ Enzo Amore):  Cassady's a big guy so this won't be so easy...err, never mind.  This one only takes slightly longer as Ryan wins with a cobra clutch slam.

Bo Dallas vs. Antonio Cesaro(w/o Zeb Colter but w/ "Don't Tread On Me" flag) for the NXT Title:  They seem to be sticking with Dallas as a face despite the "mixed reaction" from the fans...though even Dawson notes that he hears some non-Bo-Lievers in the house.  To that end, the fans chant "We The People".  Cesaro gets an early two-count with a backslide, then Bo rolls him up for his own two-count.  They settle into some YAY WRESTLING~! as the fans settle into dueling Let's Go Bo/No More Bo chants.  So he's NXT's John Cena minus the merchandise revenue?  Tony Dawson says that Bo's inspirations are Cena(there you go), Tim Tebow, and Bret Hart.  Cesaro avoids a boot and uses a basic rollup to send Dallas through the ropes to the floor...very innovative.

Cesaro slows the pace with a chinlock as Leo Kruger approaches the ring to scout his rival.  Antonio delivers a spine punt and the fans want one more, so he goes back to the chinlock...ha ha.  Dallas finally rallies and hits the bulldog...for two.  Cesaro counterwrestles back into the chinlock but Bo maneuvers into an inverted DDT...for two.  Turnbuckle-walk bulldog is countered by Cesaro crotching Bo on the top rope...ow.   Gutwrench superplex~!...only gets 2 1/2!  Second-rope kneedrop...gets 2 1/2!  He grabs the chinlock again and swings Bo around, but Dallas rolls him into a pinning combo...for two.  Cesaro hits a bridging fallaway slam(!)...for 2 1/2!  Regal drops Dave Taylor's name in reference to that move.  IT'S OVER~!  Cesaro goes to the top rope, but Bo runs up the turnbuckles into a pop-up belly-to-belly suplex!  Kruger climbs up on the apron, but that move goes awry as Dallas sidesteps Cesaro and he runs into Leo...Bo hits the standard snap belly-to-belly suplex after that and finally gets the win!

Kruger wastes no time on the post-match assault...but Cesaro's not happy about Leo's interference and mows him down with a running EUROUPPERCUT~!  Antonio decides to dish out his own beatdown...Bo fights back until Kruger rejoins the fray.  The heels decide to join forces, but then Sami Zayn(OLE~!) makes the save!  Dallas and Zayn stand tall in the ring and shake hands to end the show...
