WWE NXT

Commentators:  Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, & Lord Tensai.  Ring announcer:  Brandi Rhodes.

NXT Tag Team Champions The Ascension(Konnor O'Brian & Rick Viktor) vs. Casey Marion & Mike Leboska, non-title:  While winter has taken a brief sabbatical in my neck of the woods in favor of monsoon season, it would appear squash is in season in Orlando.  The fans chant "Let's Go Jobbers" as Viktor manhandles Marion, then throws him right into Leboska to knock him off the apron.  Double hiptoss-into-a-double powerbomb sets up the Fall Of Man(legsweep/flying European uppercut combo) and Viktor gets the academic pin on Marion.

Tyler Breeze has entered the building.

Emma Tayla(w/ Bayley Rose) vs. Summer Rae(w/ Sasha Banks & Charlotte Flair):  Tensai marks out for the BUBBLES~!  Summer throws away one of Bayley's signs(borrowed from Emma's main-roster appearances) and Emma rolls her up for a one-count.  The two trade pin attempts in the early going, but Summer knees Emma in the head and shoves her to the floor.  Sasha and Charlotte tease some involvement but hesitate with Bayley around...Summer still maintains control for a while.  Emma whiffs on a dropkick and Summer goes for a leg-applied full nelson, but Emma rolls her back into a pin attempt...for two.

Summer goes into a more traditional full nelson and turns that into her own pin attempt...for two.  Emma turns it around with the Dil-Emma(Tarantula), then hits the low cross-body with Summer slumped in the corner.  Summer kicks her away from a potential Emma Lock(inverted STF) and Sasha manages to slap Emma behind the referee's back, allowing Summer to roll up Emma...for two!  Emma throws Summer into Sasha, sending her flying off the apron into Charlotte...and Emma takes Summer down into the Emma Lock for the tapout!  She's ready for her shot at NXT Women's Champion Paige Knight next week!

Backstage, Devin Taylor interviews Tyler Breeze.  He is NOT fond of the prospect of an "uggo" like Adrian Neville winning the NXT Title next week and becoming the "Face Of NXT".

Backstage, Renee Young conducts a sitdown interview with Sami Zayn and Antonio Cesaro regarding their rematch.  There's a no-contact rule in effect:  Zayn can't challenge for the NXT Title again if he violates it, Cesaro will be pulled from the Elimination Chamber if he violates it.  Zayn will be medically cleared in time for ArRIVAL(though Cesaro expresses his doubts).  Cesaro keeps interrupting Zayn's attempts to talk and Renee finally takes her leave.  Zayn says he needs this match to advance his career and Cesaro won't be able to do anything about it...Cesaro is finally left speechless and walks away.

Backstage:  The nameless interviewer talks to Emma...she beat Summer Rae and she'll meet Paige face-to-face next week.

Adrian Neville vs. Tyler Breeze:  Breeze cost Neville his previous shot at NXT Champion Bo Dallas; Neville defeated Breeze a few weeks ago but Breeze wanted this rematch.  Tyler stalls for selfies as usual, but it's down to business once the opening bell rings.  Neville brings the FLIPPIES~! but Breeze cuts him off with a corner dropkick...he seems more focused, but he still stops for another selfie so he can fix his hair.  Adrian fires back with his kicks and rams Breeze into the turnbuckles(NOT THE FACE~!), then drops him on his face for an early near-fall.  Neville takes his time and gets thrown to the floor as a result, but Breeze whiffs on a middle-rope dropkick with Adrian on the apron.  Neville leapfrogs Breeze who tumbles through the ropes, then Neville dropkicks him to the floor.  Time to fly...and he hits a huge twisting somersault plancha!

Neville re-enters with a missile dropkick...for two.  Tyler stuns Adrian with a jawbreaker and tries a rana...but Neville blocks it and hits a Demon Bomb for two!  Back to the ropes...Neville attempts a springboard move and Breeze goes for a dropkick too early, allowing Adrian to stop himself in time.  Looks like a major error on Breeze's part...but he surprises Neville with a superkick out of nowhere!  Breeze slowly goes for the cover...and gets 2 1/2.  Beauty Shot(spinning heel kick) is ducked and Neville hits the enzuigiri, then nails another one with Breeze in the corner.  Looks like it's time to go back to the third floor...Red Arrow(corkscrew shooting star press) hits and that'll do it!

Neville speaks on his upcoming title shot, but Bo Dallas decides to congratulate his contender personally.  Neville's a good up-and-comer and jokes about how he's climbing the ladder of success...see what he did there?  Bo doesn't hate him...he's a good kid!  Adrian thinks he's scared...he offers Bo a free shot and the champ takes off his suit jacket and title belt before rolling up his sleeves.  However, he leaves the ring instead...they'll fight next week!

Next week:  ArRIVAL~!
