WWE NXT

Commentators:  Byron Saxton, S. William Regal, & Lord Tensai.  Ring announcer:  Kendall Skye.

Charlotte Flair & Bayley Rose vs. Summer Rae & Sasha Banks:  The BFFs have not been Being Stars(tm) lately as it relates to Bayley.  Sasha has glammed up her entrance attire with a jacket and shades.  Bayley offers hairbands to the opponents...they are not impressed.  Charlotte starts with some technical wrestling on Sasha, including a unique bridging hammerlock.  The fans want Bayley so she tags into the match...only to get caught in the wrong corner right away.  Good one, fans!

The match continues as Regal and Tensai alternate between light-hearted jabs at Byron and each other...heh.  Bayley hits a belly-to-belly suplex on Sasha out of nowhere and goes for the tag...only to get slapped by Charlotte!  Ladies and gentlemen, we have a heel turn...never trust a Flair!  Charlotte adds the exclamation point with the handspring Diamond Cutter...the heels don't know what's going on but Sasha takes what is offered and gets the pin.  Charlotte raises the hands of Summer and Sasha...looks like the BFFs have a new member.

Donny Camacho vs. Aiden English:  SPOTLIGHT PLEASE~!  Camacho overpowers English right away...English begs off but Camacho isn't buying it.  Camacho does a mocking bow followed by a back suplex and legdrop.  However, English escapes a Samoan Drop attempt and hits the Director's Cut(cobra clutch Side Effect) out of nowhere for the win.  The fans want an encore and get it...the fans throw roses into the ring and Regal is thoroughly impressed.  He "borrows" Tensai's handkerchief from his jacket pocket to wipe his eyes, then blows his nose noisily into it...bwahahaha.

Backstage:  Alexander Rusev and Lana Perry enlighten us in (presumably)Bulgarian.

Mason Ryan vs. Danny Burch:  I don't see this being competitive...Burch does manage to brawl his way into a brief advantage.  Ryan finally decides that playtime is over...Stungun, IT'S THE BIG FOOT, and cobra clutch slam end it.

Next week:  NXT Champion Bo Dallas returns~!

Adrian Neville vs. Corey Graves, best-of-three-falls match:  These guys were NXT Tag Champs not too long ago, but Graves turned on Neville after they lost their rematch to The Ascension.  Adrian starts fast with a dropkick, going for a lot of early pin attempts.  Graves slows him down with an elbow and tries to ground Neville...Adrian fires back with flying forearms, a leg lariat, and an Oklahoma roll for two.  FLIPPIES~! ensue and Adrian stuns Corey with a roundhouse kick from the apron, then nails the Red Arrow(corkscrew shooting star press) for the first fall just like that!  We get a helpful scoreboard for emphasis.

After a short rest period, Graves rolls out to regroup only to eat a baseball slide.  Adrian takes the fight to his opponent and the match breaks down into a slugfest on the floor...Adrian goes for his finisher again but this time Corey rolls out of the ring...then kicks out the knee when Neville goes after him.  Graves abuses the injured limb with gusto, including some ringpost abuse and a half-crab.  The commentators wonder if Adrian would be better off submitting to end the fall and get a break, but he fights his way back into the bout and gets a sunset flip...for two.  Neville kicks him away but Graves stops him with the leg dive, then hooks the Lucky 13(Fuller Leglock)...Adrian tries to tough it out but finally taps out.

The score is even, but now Neville's got a bad wheel and the rest period isn't much help.  Neville keeps fighting despite the injury, but one good kick to the leg stops him in his tracks.  Graves goes for the leg dive but is met with a dropkick to the head...and Adrian gets a two-count.  He goes to the third floor(literally pulling himself up the ropes), but the leg gives way and he falls badly on the turnbuckles.  Corey goes for the leg and hooks the Lucky 13 again...this time he HAS to escape and he somehow gets to the ropes.  Graves stays on the leg and goes for the hold one more time...and Adrian small-packages him for the flash pin and the win!
