WWE NXT

Commentators:  Tom Phillips, S. William Regal, & Alex Riley.  Ring announcer:  Byron Saxton.

Tyler Breeze has entered the building.

Kofi Kingston vs. Alexander Rusev(w/ Lana Perry):  Lana introduces Rusev in notEnglish and gets the "What" treatment from the fans^H^H^HUniverse Members.  Byron asks Regal about Cesaro and Regal merely says that he was beaten by the better man.  Meanwhile, Rusev dominates the early minutes of the bout and delivers a fallaway Samoan Drop of sorts.  Kofi fights back into things, but only momentarily as Rusev mows him down.  Kofi avoids a big splash and starts the real rally...a dropkick and flying clothesline finally knock Rusev off his feet.  Trouble In Paradise is signalled but he comes up with a double-jump half-turn cross-body off the top rope...for two.  Kofi hits a pendulum kick and goes upstairs again, but Lana climbs the ring steps in that corner...that's enough of a distraction for Rusev to slam Kofi to the mat.  Accolade(camel clutch) is locked on...after several agonizing moments, Kingston taps out and Rusev gets a huge win.

Backstage, Devin Taylor interviews Sylvester Lefort...with Scott Dawson injured, he's looking for new clients.  He talks to Bull Dempsey but dismisses him in short order...then Mason Ryan steps into the picture.  Ryan stuffs the monetary offer in Lefort's mouth and calls him an idiot...think that's a "no".

Natalya Neidhart vs. Emma Tayla:  This is to determine the top contender to NXT Women's Champion Paige Knight...how many of these has Emma won, anyway?  The commentators do note that Emma IS technically the number-one contender and was offended that Nattie jumped ahead of her in line for a title shot.  YAY WRESTLING~! to start...Phillips notes that both women trained in Calgary(Nattie in the Dungeon, Emma by Lance Storm) but Regal points out that Natayla has a huge experience edge.  Dueling chants ensue as Nattie gets the better of the technical exchange for an early two-count but Emma gets an O'Connor Roll for her own near-fall.  Some taunting by Emma fires up Natalya but Emma slides from the apron into the ring for a sunset flip...for two.  Emma gets the DilEmma(Tarantula) and Phillips even drops Tajiri's name...Tom's doing his homework!  Blind charge hits turnbuckle and Nattie hits the discus lariat...for two.  Emma fights out of an abdominal stretch but ends up in a modified surfboard hold...it takes a lot for Emma to fight out of that.  Nattie misses a legdrop but double-legs Emma into a Sharpshooter attempt...only for Emma to small-package her for two.  Emma doesn't miss a beat and hangs onto the leg to transition into the Emmalock(inverted STF)...and she gets the tapout win!  Regal puts over the fact that Emma outwrestled a submission specialist...Nattie raises Emma's hand and they dance together afterwards...okay then.

Sing-Off, Colin Cassady vs. Aiden English:  Renee Young is your emcee.  Big Cass is in a suit and tie for the night; we're told he was a "subway performer" in Queens.  English goes first with some "opera Italiano".  Cassady warms up a bit and it turns out he can carry a tune fairly well...go figure.  He ends it by calling Aiden SAWFT...and the fan response seems to be in his favor.  English is miffed and demands an encore...why not?  He trashes the fans in his second song to cement the fan support against him...so Colin does a modified rendition of "My Girl" with the phrase "You Suck" instead.  English finally snaps and clips Cassady's knee...looks like the original fan decision stands, but Regal says he still loves Aiden.  Bwahahaha.

Mason Ryan vs. Tyler Breeze:  Tyler's winter residence is in Brazil, for those keeping score, and his phone cover matches his fur coat.  Breeze is hesitant to start this off...but Lefort shows up at ringside and Breeze goes on the attack when Ryan's attention is diverted.  Ryan returns fire with a Stungun and slides out of the ring to clothesline Lefort out of his shiny shirt, but re-enters and walks right into the Beauty Shot(spinning heel kick)...that'll do it.  Selfie time~!

Next week:  The Ascension(Konnor O'Brian & Rick Viktor) vs. Hunico & Donny Camacho in a tornado match for the NXT Tag Team Titles.

Tyler Breeze has left the building.

Sami Zayn vs. Leo Kruger, best-of-three-falls:  OLE~!  Kruger goes straight into attack mode and takes the fight to the floor in short order.  Riley says he's never been in this kind of match...I swear he had one with Tyler Reks in FCW but I guess that doesn't count.  Leo slams him on the floor as we note that a countout is good enough for a fall, but Kruger still tosses him back in the ring for a pin attempt.  Sami catches him out of nowhere with an exploder suplex into the turnbuckles(ouch)...corner boot HITS and that's good enough for the first fall!

We return to the action as Zayn fights for a superplex, but he get dumped all the way down to the floor...potential countout?  Zayn barely beats the count at nine...only to get DDTed by Leo for a near-fall.  Kruger tries to whip Sami but he hangs onto the ropes for all he's worth...Zayn finally gets enough of a breather to fight back.  Spinning Blue Thunder Bomb...gets two.  Zayn goes to the ropes but Leo slugs him out of a springboard attempt, then pulls him into a hanging neckbreaker!  Cover...for two-and-a-half!  Kruger goes for his GC3(London Dungeon) submission hold but Zayn gets to the ropes to escape.  Sami goes up the ropes again and gets cut off...superplex is blocked and Zayn goes for the cross-body...nothing but mat!  Leo gets the GC3 this time in the middle of the ring...will Zayn submit?  He nearly taps out but he barely gets to the bottom rope.  Kruger beats him down out of frustration...Sami tries to fend him off and runs into a spinebuster.  Leo throws off the shirt and lines up for the Slice lariat...but Zayn ducks and grabs him in a modified Flatliner!  He hooks him in a Koji Clutch out of that...and Kruger has nowhere to go but Tapout City!  Not often you see a best-of-three-falls match end in two straight, but there you have it...

-Samuel Shaw d. Norv Fernum with a standing side choke submission(thanks, Taz).
-Bobby Roode & James Storm d. Kurt Angle & Phil Gunner; Rockstar Spud had ordered Angle and Roode to find partners for a tag match.  Storm was upset when Angle chose Gunner, so he went to Roode for a one-night Beer Money reunion.  Gunner got Roode in the Gun Rack but Storm broke it up with the Last Call superkick, allowing Roode to finish Gunner with the Death Valley Driver.
-Ethan Carter III called out Jeff Hardy with the full knowledge that he wasn't there...that brought out Sting to challenge him to a real match.
-Joseph Park d. Bully Ray by DQ when Ray punted Park in the groin right away.  Ray doused Park with lighter fluid and threatened to set him on fire until Ken Anderson ran in to stop him.  Ray doused Anderson with the fluid as well and held him off with a lighter as he backed out of the ring.
-The show ended with the coronation of new Heavyweight Champion Brutus Magnus by Dixie Carter(w/ EC3 & Spud).  Phil Gunner wanted to cash in his Feast-Or-Fired briefcase but was beaten down by Magnus, EC3, and Spud...however, A.J.
