NXT + Impact

WWE NXT

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

Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady vs. Alexander Rusev & Scott Dawson(w/ Sylvester Lefort):  Amore declares the opposition to be S-A-W-F-T; Lefort begs to differ.  Rusev's plank says "ENZO" on one side and "COLIN" on the other side.  Lefort refers to Dawson as "Captain Redneck"; wasn't that Dick Murdoch's nickname?  He dresses like TREVOR Murdoch, at any rate.  Oddly the face team is the first to take a cheapshot, but that ticks off Dawson.  He and Rusev hit a Hart Attack variant on Amore with Rusev hitting a spinning heel kick instead of a clothesline...but the referee decides to be really strict about the five-count and the "Lefort Legionnaires" get DQed.  Whoops.

NXT Champion Bo Dallas arrives to enlighten us.  He thanks his Bo-lievers for their support...meanwhile, he's getting booed as usual.  He's taken it upon himself to be Sami Zayn's mentor...he was injured recently but he has NO problem facing Zayn in the ring once he's cleared to return.  Of course, it wouldn't be a title match since he doesn't deserve it yet, and he doesn't make the matches anyway, right?  Don't stop Bo-lieving!

Backstage, Renee Young interviews C.J. Parker about his feud with Tyler Breeze.  Breeze loves his "outer self" but CJP is in touch with his "inner self".  Parker was just having fun, but Breeze doesn't find it funny and attacks C.J....cue selfie while posing in front of his downed rival.

NXT Women's Champion Paige Knight vs. Sasha Banks, non-title:  Okay, guess I should wait to call it a title match until they actually hype it as such.  The storyline is that Summer Rae has been pushing Sasha to make more of an impact by any means necessary...otherwise this is a face-vs.-face encounter.  Sasha gets a victory roll out of nowhere for an early near-fall, then does a rollup to send Paige falling backwards into the bottom turnbuckle.  Sasha realizes she's not winning the popularity contest tonight, so she slows the pace with a camel clutch and a sleeper-with-bodyscissors.  Paige floats out of a slam attempt to get a rollup for two...but Sasha cuts her off with a dropkick for two.  Back to the sleeper and bodyscissors but Paige rolls her back into a pin attempt...for two.  Suplex is reversed into a snap fisherman buster(!) by Paige and I smell a comeback...Paige gets Sasha in the ropes and hits a series of kneelifts.  Sasha gets a small package out of nowhere...for two.  Paige whiffs on a dropkick and Sasha hits a cross-bodyblock, but Paige rolls through to finally get the pin!  Paige celebrates and Sasha is crushed by the loss...Paige offers her hand and the fans want them to hug it out, ha ha.  Paige turns to leave and Sasha attacks from behind, dishing out a series of slaps before dropping Paige with a Terminus-style neckbreaker...ladies and gentlemen, we have a heel turn.

Backstage:  Summer's happy with Sasha and so is Sasha.

Xavier Woods vs. Leo Kruger:  Kruger attacked Woods backstage on last week's show, so here we are.  Xavier's ready to go but Leo stalls like an honorary Zbyszko...Woods finally grabs him by the hair but Kruger yanks his arm off the middle rope.   Time for some arm damage...PSYCHOLOGY~!  Xavier pulls off a flying headscissors and Leo rolls out of the ring, but the ensuing plancha hits nothing but floor.

Kruger keeps up the pressure with a hammerlock snap suplex before going back to the armholds...Xavier fights back with a dropkick but he gets caught in a side backbreaker for two.  Leo hits a Jackhammer(!)...for two.  Middle-rope elbowdrop(Bret-style) misses...rally time?  Looks that way...it's a one-armed flurry but it works.  A John Wu dropkick hits but the Honor Roll(forward-roll clothesline) is caught for a spinebuster by Kruger...for two!  Slice lariat misses and Woods hits the enzuigiri...Lost In The Woods(low-altitude Flatliner) HITS...for two!  IT'S MORPHING TIME~!  Honor Roll hits this time, then Eat-The Feet and Xavier gets the upset win!
