NXT, CWC, XPlosion

WWE NXT

-Commentators:  Tom Phillips & Corey Graves.
-Earlier today:  General Manager S. William Regal spoke with the trainer, who said that Samoa Joe's dislocated jaw(among other injuries) meant that he wouldn't be cleared to compete for the time being.  Joe was not happy about that news...
-Tye Dillinger d. Buddy Murphy with the Tye Breaker(Death Valley Driver onto the knee) (6:18 aired).
-Backstage:  Charly Caruso interviewed Tommaso Ciampa about Johnny Gargano's leg injury...but he was interrupted by NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival(Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder).  Ciampa threw the first punch, but the numbers caught up to him and they dragged him out to the ring area to continue the assault.  Dawson & Wilder attempted to speak their minds, but Ciampa wouldn't stay down until they laid him out with the Shatter Machine(Flapjack-into-Codebreaker).
-Steve Cutler d. Kenneth Crawford with a fisherman driver (3:32).
-Backstage:  Dasha Fuentes interviewed Hideo Itami about his return and encounter with Austin Aries.  He said that if Aries crossed his path again...he would "Go 2 Sleep" again.
-Coming soon:  Sanity.
-"No Way" Jose Valenzuela d. Angelo Dawkins with the cobra clutch slam (2:43).
-Backstage:  Charly interviewed Andrade Almas about his Takeover loss to Bobby Roode; Austin Aries interrupted, feeling like his spotlight was usurped by Hideo Itami.  Aries decided he was going to steal Almas' spotlight, but Almas took exception for obvious reasons...
-Liv Morgan d. Aliyah Areebi after a spinning crescent kick (3:29).
-Backstage:  Dasha interviewed No Way Jose; he said he was regaining his momentum after Takeover, but Bobby Roode walked past the interview and insulted Jose in passing.
-Next week:  Special interview with NXT Women's Champion Asuka Urai.
-New NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura made a grand entrance to a huge ovation from the fans in Full Sail University.  He came to NXT to face the best wrestlers in the world...his neck is still sore from the battle with Samoa Joe, but he won Da Belt and it now means more than it ever has.  The era of strong style has begun...YEAOH~!
