Opening Credits.
Commentary: Welcome to NXT, last week we found out that Dean Ambrose would be in contention to win the NXT World Championship, tonight either his Shield compatriot Seth Rollins or Wyatt Family member Luke Harper will join him................also tonight one half of The Shields Tag Team Title opponents Brodus Clay takes on Jimmy Uso, Womens Title Number 1 Contender Sasha Banks faces Bayley and in a rematch from last week A J Lee takes on Charlotte, but we start the night off with a very personal rivalry as Alex Riley takes on Kevin Owens.......................
Alex Riley v Kevin Owens
Post Match: But that wasn't the end of the matter, Owens then threw Eiley over the top rope to the ground, then rolled out, picked Riley up and used the Pump up Powerbomb on the ring apron.................then sent Riley back into the ring for even more punishmnent............but that was prevented when Sami Zayn rushed down to the ring forcing Owens to leave.................
Sami Zayn then knelt down beside Riley calling for help to come to the ring...............and then from out of nowhere L.A.X members Hernandez & Homicide arrived and destroyed Sami Zayn...........then without hesitation turned their attention to Riley before dispatching both of them from the ring....................
Hernandez demanded a microphone..............He reveals that his initial views about the United States holding back the Latino Superstars have been proven correct, due to the fact that they have been underutilized.............so as of this moment..............THEY QUIT!!!!!!!
Commentary: What a shocking announcement by L.A.X, although King disagrees that they were underutilized since both were entered into the NXT Title Tournament, the team were entered into the Tag Team Tournament and Homicide had TWO opportunities to qualify for The Royal Rumble, they were just unable to take advantage of these opportunities, and that falls on them, not the WWE..........
.
Coming up next A J Lee takes on Charlotte in a rematch from last week which saw Charlotte cheap shot A J after the match was over.................
Promo: Charlotte comes out to the ring, but takes a microphone, she addresses her actions last week..........she believes that to shake A J's hand would mean lowering herself to A J's level........mediocrity............she reminds everyone that she is a Flair.........this makes her wrestling royalty and above every other woman on NXT...............especially the likes of A J who is only getting airtime because she FAILED in Season 3 of NXT................
and here comes A J Lee................but suddenly running down the entrance ramp comes Emma, who without hesitation assaults A J, sending her crashing into the steel steps............Emma then sends A J into the ring, where Charlotte approaches.........this match doesn't look like it's going to happen..............as Charlotte joined by Emma deliver a stomping to A J............then Charlotte shakes hands with Emma over A J's body.
Backstage: The Shield are in conference mode ahead of Seth's match with Luke Harper tonight, once he wins that match, and he & Reigns beat Khali & Clay for the Tag Titles...........NXT will be owned by The Shield..............
but Seth informs Ambrose that despite being brothers, he intends to be the inaugural NXT Champion...........which Ambrose likes, because he's always up for a fight, no matter who he's facing..............
Reigns & Ambrose then leave to allow Seth to prepare...........
King remarks that Seth may be overlooking Luke Harper tonight.....................
Suddenly in the corridor Reigns and Ambrose fall victim to a sneak attack from Harper & Rowan which leaves them in agony..........
Sasha Banks v Kaitlyn
Winner: Sasha Banks via Pinfall (Came from a reversal of a Submission Hold).
Post Match: NXT Women's Champion Paige cut short Sasha's celebration by cracking her Title across Sasha's skull, before standing triumphantly over her with the Title held high...........
Backstage: Samir Singh introduces the future NXT Tag Team Champions, The Great Khali & Brodus Clay, he claims that The Shield should watch Brodus' upcoming match against Jimmy Uso to witness the pain & suffering that awaits them...................
Brodus Clay w/ Samir Singh v Jimmy Uso
Winners : Brodus Clay via Pinfall.
Post Match: In a shocking moment, Ariel stormed down to the ring and confronted Jimmy, who was notably confused by this sudden arrival........then without warning Ariel delivers a vicious kick to Jimmy's groin..............before walking off...........
what was the reasoning?
Backstage: Bray Wyatt storms in on Seth Rollins...........he issues a threat to Seth that counting his chickens before they've hatched is not smart, some of those eggs are un-fertilized and as such deceased........like Rollins will be after his match with Harper...........Rollins takes exception to these comments and threatens to beat Bray on the spot, to which Bray points behind Seth............and standing there is Erick Rowan...........
And then all hell breaks out as Seth realises he'll have to fight his way out of this situation..............
However ultimately the numbers were too much, resulting in Rollins being laid out backstage and nowhere near 100% for his match with Harper next...........
Luke Harper v Seth Rollins
It was a shock to everyone when Seth Rollins hobbled to the ring......he had no intention of forfeitting this match............
Winner :Luke Harper via Submission.
