Local notes:

-Bobby "The Brain" Heenan hurt his arm in a fall at home; it's currently unknown if he will be at the SICW show in East Carondelet on the 17th. In the meantime, they have booked Jim Cornette to appear at the show one way or the other.
WWE NXT
-Commentators: Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, & S. William Regal. Ring announcer: Brandi Rhodes.
-Chief Operating Officer Triple H starts the show, powering through the same hoarseness that was affecting him on Raw a few weeks ago. He drops the names of people who have moved from NXT to the main roster and made an impact...then plugs the next two-hour live special on May 29th: NXT Takeover. Woo.
-Tyson Kidd d. Bo Dallas(w/ new theme music) with the Buff Blockbuster (7:18).
-NXT Women's Title Tournament: Sasha Banks(w/ Charlotte Flair) d. (It's) Bayley Rose with a modified Crippler Crossface (3:56).
-Adam Rose(w/ Rosebuds) d. Danny Burch with the Party Foul(?)(snapmare driver) (2:31). (Fare thee well, Danny.) Donny Camacho attacked one of Rose's masked partiers after the match.
-NXT Women's Title Tournament: Natalya Neidhart d. Layla El with the Sharpshooter (3:22).
-Mojo Rawley d. Oliver Grey via Hyperdrive(Earthquake buttdrop) (1:01). (Fare thee well, Oliver.) Aiden English declared his intention to stop suffering fools...then blindsided Rawley as he was leaving the ring. Mojo returned fire and clotheslined English out of the ring...we have a new feud!
-Adrian Neville d. Brodus Clay in a no-DQ match to retain the NXT Title. Brodus brought the title belt into the ring but Neville superkicked it back into his face, then hit the Red Arrow(corkscrew shooting star press) for the pin (5:32).
-Next week: Emma Tayla vs. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss vs. Alicia Fox in the NXT Women's Title tournament.
TNA Impact
-Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz.
-Montel Vontavious Porter had three wrestlers who won at Sacrifice(Ken Anderson, Phil Gunner, and Bobby Roode) draw playing cards. The high card would get a bye of sorts while the other two would face each other in a match. The winner of the first match would face the high-card wrestler and the winner of THAT match would challenge Eric Young for the Heavyweight Title. Roode drew the high card, so...
-Phil Gunner d. Ken Anderson; Cowboy James Storm tried to interfere, but hit Anderson with the enzuigiri by mistake. Gunner took advantage and hit the Hanger 18(F-5) for the win.
-Brutus Magnus, frustrated over his exclusion from the title picture and another rough encounter with Abyss, was about to leave the building when he met his old friend Bram(formerly NXT's Kenneth Cameron).
-Bobby Roode d. Phil Gunner with the Death Valley Driver.
-Willow The Wisp d. Cowboy James Storm by DQ when Storm shoved the referee. Storm tried to attack Willow with his broken beer bottle but Willow fought him off with his umbrella...Storm backed off but ran into Ken Anderson who gave him the Mic Check on the entrance ramp.
-X-Division Champion Seiya Senada & Tag Team Champions The American Wolves(Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) d. The Bro Mans(Robbie Eckos & Jessie Godderz) & D.J. Shiima Xion; Davey pinned Ion after a top-rope double-stomp to the back by Edwards, a moonsault by Senada, and a standard top-rope double-stomp by Richards.
-Gail Kim interrupted a promo by The Beautiful People(Women's Champion Angelina Love & Velvet Sky)...guess that's a face turn? Gail ran them off and posed with the title belt...and the BPs were met in the aisleway by Madison Rayne and Brittany Garrett who relieved them of their evening gowns.
-Showtime Eric Young d. Bobby Roode with the Macho Elbow to retain the Heavyweight Title.
