WWE NXT

Commentators:  Tom Phillips & Alex Riley.  Ring announcer:  Byron Saxton.

Sami Zayn vs. Curt Hawkins:  This is a rematch from Zayn's debut...OLE~!  Zayn outwrestles him early, but Hawkins slows him down with the Norman Smiley-style swinging bodyslam.  Sami mounts a comeback only to get run into the ringpost...Hawkins keeps him down until mutual clotheslines put both men on the mat.  Looks like El Big Comeback for real...the corner boot misses but he nails the Steamboat Press for two.  Hawkins stuns him with a semi-Pele Kick...for two.  Elevated DDT(Edge-style~!)...gets two-and-a-half.  Hawkins stops the ropewalk tornado DDT attempt and hits a faceplant out of the back suplex setup...for two-and-a-half.  Curt loses his cool and slaps Zayn around...but that just fires him up.   A big boot out of nowhere stuns Hawkins and this time Zayn nails the ropewalk tornado DDT for the win!

Aiden English vs. Michael Culari(?):  English narrates his own entrance...in song.  It doesn't take long for the fans to hate him after that...heh.  The opponent wrestles for Ring Of Honor as Q.T. Marshall, if I'm not mistaken.  English dominates, taking a bow before hitting a jumping legdrop.  He finishes with a cobra clutch into a modified Side Effect..."Take A Bow"?  Okay then.  He does a post-match encore because he is the very model of a modern major superstar...darn it, now it's stuck in MY head...

Backstage, Renee Young interviews NXT Champion Bo Dallas...he's testing a new fan hotline in BOlivia(ha ha).  Zayn got himself a pretty nifty win, but it's not like Hawkins has won anything lately...and it's not like Bo has any say in who gets a title shot.  He'll have an announcement next week about how the next challenger will be determined...in the meantime, don't stop Bo-lievin'...

Also next week:  Special announcement by Triple H, plus a tag team turmoil match to determine the next NXT Tag Team Title challengers.

Tag Team Champions Corey Graves & Adrian Neville, Xavier Woods, & C.J. Parker vs. The Ascension(Conor O'Brian & Rick Victor), Leo Kruger, & Tyler Breeze:  It's three, three, three feuds in one!  YAY WRESTLING~!  The good guys make quick tags to work on Victor and then Kruger.  The tempo changes when O'Brian gets the tag and the heels isolate Graves for a little while.  For his part, Breeze stays back near the ringpost and seemingly wants no part of his partners.  Xavier rallies against Kruger and the heels regroup on the floor, but Graves and Parker hit stereo baseball slides and then Woods and Neville follow up with planchas!

A well-timed foot grab by O'Brian allows Kruger to hit Woods with a spinebuster...just like that, the heels are in command.  Breeze finally tags himself into the match(to Conor's annoyance) only to tag back out at the slightest sign of resistance from Xavier...ha ha.  NOT THE FACE~!  Woods finally reverses a suplex on Breeze and tags are made to O'Brian and Parker...the house is ablaze!  Graves takes himself and Victor out of the game and O'Brian plants Parker with a full nelson slam, but Neville makes the save.  C.J. runs into a Flapjack and Breeze tags himself into the match AGAIN, covering...for two.  Parker fights back and the other heels finally take a walk, leaving Breeze all by his lonesome.  Parker hits a major uppercut, tags in Woods for Eat-The-Feet...then Woods tags in Graves for a running legdive...and finally Graves tags Neville for the Red Arrow(corkscrew shooting star press) and the pin!

TNA Impact(recorded in St. Louis, MO)

-O.D.B. d. Mickie James with the BAM(TKO) to win the Women's Title.  Eric Young & Joseph Park celebrated with O.D.B. after the match but were interrupted by the Bro Mans(Robbie Eckos & Jessie Godderz), leading to...
-Eric Young(w/ Joseph Park) d. Robbie Eckos(w/ Jessie Godderz) via rollup in under a minute.  Robbie E claimed he wasn't ready and challenged Park...
-Joseph Park(w/ Eric Young) d. Robbie Eckos(w/ Jessie Godderz) via rollup in under a minute.  The Bro Mans attacked both men afterwards, but Park was busted open and fought them off.
