WWE NXT

Commentators:  Tony Dawson & S. William Regal.  Ring announcer:  Kendall Skye.

Earlier today:  Rick Victor interrupted NXT Tag Team Champion Corey Graves' conversation with interviewer Renee Young.  That set up a sneak attack by Conor O'Brian as the Ascension duo left him laying.

C.J. Parker vs. Tyler Breeze:  Parker has been "photobombing" Breeze's selfies in recent weeks...hey, not the worst feud setup in the world.  Parker teases a grab at the iPhone and that ticks off Breeze, as does a motion to kick him in the mush(NOT THE FACE~!).  Parker takes advantage with an airplane spin into a face-first drop to the mat...but as the ref tries to back C.J. off, Breeze gives him a cheapshot with the iPhone for the tainted win.

Backstage, Renee interviews Emma...she has another title shot at Paige Knight in her future, but she plans to deal with Summer first.

Special announcement:  Tyler Breeze has left the building.

Emma Tayla vs. Summer Rae:  Emma upset Summer in the Women's Title tournament, then Summer attacked Emma after a "dance battle" and took her spot in the rematch with Paige.  Emma brings her bubble-blowing solution to ringside...yes, that's important to note.  Emma goes for the Dil-Emma(inverted STF) right away and Summer has to grab for the ropes.  Summer pulls out her unique bodyscissors takedown but Emma turns it around in a hurry.  Summer escapes a Tarantula attempt and takes her down by the arm, then focuses her attack on the arm...PSYCHOLOGY~!  Summer gets a leg-applied full nelson...haven't seen that in a while...but Emma rolls her back into a near-pin before Summer turns it into her own pinning combo for two.  Emma avoids a blind charge into the corner and gets the Tarantula this time, then hits a low-flying cross-body as Summer's slumped in the corner.  Mid-ring catapult transitions straight into the Dil-Emma and that's good enough for the tapout!  Summer flips out after the loss and dumps Emma out of the ring, then grabs the bubble solution and throws it in her eyes!  Play SUMMER'S music!

Earlier tonight:  Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady had a conference with Scott Dawson & Sylvester Lefort about their issue with Mason Ryan.  As it turns out, the duos aren't on the same page and it turns into an argument...

Summer leaves the building and is confronted by Sasha Banks.  Sasha is disgusted by Summer's actions, but Summer says she's getting noticed and Sasha would do well to follow her lead...after all, Summer's on WWE's main-roster shows and Sasha's barely been on NXT lately.  Sasha's facing Paige in two weeks, but Summer predicts Sasha will lose unless she develops a backbone...

Enzo Amore(w/ Colin Cassady) vs. Scott Dawson(w/ Sylvester Lefort):  So who's the face in THIS one?  More importantly, who will actually WIN this one?  The fans seem to be siding with Amore & Cassady...Amore says if he had a dime for every time they got beat up as kids, he'd have ZERO dimes because they ain't S-A-W-F-T~!  Dawson wastes no time in pulling the hair, then dumps Amore on the top rope with a half-slingshot suplex.  Amore surprises Dawson with a flying headscissors, but Alexander Rusev runs out to hit Cassady from behind...is he a new member of the Lefort stable?  Dawson capitalizes on the distraction with ye olde Teardrop Suplex for the win!

Renee Young interviews Sami Zayn in the ring...OLE~!  Zayn had a great match last week with Antonio Cesaro...despite the loss, his focus is on the NXT Title.  That brings out our esteemed(?) NXT Champion Bo Dallas...Zayn doesn't deserve a title shot because TEH INTERNETZ like him and he likens this promo to interviewing the losing team at the Super Bowl.  Bo would love to face him, but Zayn injured him at SummerSlam Axxess and the kid still needs a lot of work anyway.  They aren't booing or chanting "NO!", they're saying "BO!"  The fans promptly chant "Boo!"  Zayn thinks he's scared to give him a title shot..but before that can be answered one way or the other, we're graced by the presence of Zeb Colter.  Zeb demands that Zayn(if that's his real name) present his citizenship paperwork...for his part, Sami feels like he should get Zeb and Cesaro deported back to hell.  Out of the blue, Jack Swagger attacks Zayn from behind...Bo calmly and casually leaves the ring as Swagger dishes out the beating, finishing with a deadlift gutwrench into the Doctor Bomb.  They put the Don't Tread On Me flag over him...WE THE PEOPLE~!

SummerSlam Axxess:  NXT made its presence felt.

NXT Tag Team Champion Adrian Neville vs. Conor O'Brian(w/ Rick Victor):  This was set up by the altercation at the top of the show; Graves is absent due to that assault.  Neville has an uphill battle to say the least, but the power of the FLIPPIES~! is in his favor.  O'Brian dominates for a while, but a blind charge hits turnbuckles and Adrian unloads with the educated feet.  Neville's springboard attempt lands him in O'Brian's Flapjack...for two.  Neville surprises him with a back suplex...for two.  Third floor...time for the Red Arrow(corkscrew shooting star press)?  No, 450 Splash(!)...and that's the ballgame!  The post-match assault begins in earnest...the injured Graves tries to help but takes a beating himself.  Graves takes the Total Ascension(legsweep/flying European uppercut) to close the show...cue the light show!

Next week:  Zayn vs. Swagger.
