Catching up on wrestling

WWE NXT

-Commentators:  Rich Brennan, Alex Riley, & Jason Albert.  Ring announcer:  Brandi Rhodes.
-Adam Rose(w/ Rosebuds) d. Danny Burch after a elbow/forearm drop off the second rope(a la Bret Hart).
-Devin Taylor interviewed the referee from last week's Sami Zayn-Corey Graves main event...he stopped the match out of concern for Zayn's safety.  She also interviewed Graves...Corey's okay with getting a win by any means necessary.
-Bayley Rose(no relation) d. "The Boss" Sasha Banks(w/ Charlotte Flair & Summer-On-A-Stick) via Belly-To-Bayley Hugplex.
-Mojo Rawley d. Sylvester Lefort with the Hyperdrive(Earthquake buttdrop).  After the match, Brodus Clay made his way to the ring and powerbombed Lefort, then hit him with a splash off the second rope.  Brodus complained about Triple H and John Cena endorsing NXT Champion Adrian Neville and never giving him a second look...he called out Neville and the champion entered to confront him.  After words were exchanged, Adrian seemed ready for a fight but Clay walked away.
-Backstage:  Devin interviewed the returning Oliver Grey but was quickly interrupted by Donny Camacho.  Camacho complained about Adam Rose's partying lifestyle and said he should take things more seriously...Grey challenged Camacho to a match on next week's show.
-Backstage:  Devin interviewed The Great Khali who got a hug from Bayley...then C.J. Parker decided to ask whether Khali produces more waste than the average person.  Bayley translated Khali's response:  See you in the ring next week.
-Bo Dallas wanted to follow in the footsteps of Daniel Bryan's "Yes Movement"(despite Bryan being a mere B+ player) and called for a "Bo Movement" to "occupy NXT" so he could get another title shot.  Instead, the fans turned their backs on the ring and chanted "No!"...ha ha.  "I GAVE YOU COOKIES!  THIS STINKS!"  Dallas threw a tantrum and refused to leave the ring...then the fans chanted "Bo-tista"...ouch.  NXT General Manager John Bradshaw Layfield finally restored order, joking that he didn't have enough Bo-lievers to occupy a see-saw.  How about a different match right now?
-Bo Dallas d. Justin Gabriel after the double-underhook DDT.

WWE Superstars

-Commentators:  Tom Phillips & Byron Saxton.
-Ryback(w/ Curtis Axel) d. Dolph Ziggler after Axel's distraction led to Ryback countering a Fameasser attempt with a powerbomb; Ryback finished with the Shellshock after that.
-Titus O'Neil d. Kofi Kingston after the Clash Of The Titus.

WWE Smackdown

-Commentators:  Michael Cole & John Bradshaw Layfield.
-Antonio Cesaro(w/ Paul Heyman) d. The Big Show by DQ when Jack Swagger(w/ Zeb Colter) attacked Cesaro.  Show powered Swagger out of the ring, but Cesaro went on the attack with European uppercuts before impressively planting Show with the Neutralizer(!).
-Ryback & Curtis Axel d. Los Matadores(Fernando & Diego)(w/ El Torito) when Axel pinned Diego after the corkscrew snapmare driver.
-Rob Van Dam d. Damien Sandow with the five-star frog splash.
-Hulk Hogan made an appearance to congratulate new WWE Champion Daniel Bryan...that led to a stereo posedown in the ring.
-Wade "Bad News" Barrett d. Kofi Kingston by stopping a Trouble In Paradise attempt with the Bullhammer forearm smash.
-Johnny Fandango(w/ new dance partner Layla El) d. Santino Marella(w/ Emma Tayla) via rollup after Layla stole the Cobra.
-WWE Champion Daniel Bryan & Tag Team Champions Jimmy & Jey Uso fought Randy Orton, Batista, & Kane to a double DQ as all six men brawled outside the ring.  Orton and Batista destroyed the injured Usos after the match and Kane attempted to chokeslam Bryan through the broadcast table, but The Shield(U.S. Champion Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, & Seth Rollins) made the save.  Orton & Batista backed off and Bryan took out Kane with the flying knee strike, then The Shield members dropped Kane with the triple-team spike powerbomb.

ROH TV

-Commentators:  Kevin Kelly, Steve Corino, & Nigel McGuinness.
-Robert D. Evans(w/ Veda Scott & Ramone) d. Silas Young by DQ.  Young accidentally hit the referee and seemingly ended Evans vaunted winning streak after hitting his finisher(turnbuckle-handstand into a ropeflip moonsault) as a second referee ran in to count three.  However, the first ref recovered and disqualified Young for hitting him.
-Jay Lethal d. Tommaso Ciampa in a best-of-three-falls match to win the T.V. Title.  Lethal won the first fall by countering an O'Connor Roll into a bridging pin(looked like the latter part of a German suplex).  Truth Martini got involved in the second fall and Lethal hit Ciampa with Tommaso's own discarded knee brace while the ref was down, then went on to win after the Lethal Injection(rope-handspring Cutter).  Ladies and gentlemen, we have a heel turn.

SICW Wrestling Explosion

-Commentator:  Larry Matysik.
-Ron Powers & Daniel Eads d. Ax Allwardt & Frankie Wyatt; Eads pinned Wyatt after Powers rocket-launched him off the top rope into a flying Superman Punch.
-Larry did a sitdown interview with Jake Dirden about his match with Flash Flanagan on April 26th.
-Flashback to August 1981:  Joyce Grable & Wendi Richter d. Jill Fontaine & Carol Sommers; Grable pinned Sommers after Wendi backdropped Sommers into a powerbomb(!) by Grable.
