We start backstage with Corey Graves with Renee and Rick Victor comes in, Rick says he's tired of waiting for his response (to what question I ask) and they will rise. Graves says he's standing right there and Conor attacks from behind and he attacks with a some metal scaffolding while yelling “Stay down Graves” in the most awkward tone. Not off to a good start.
CJ Parker vs. Tyler Breeze: I'm already hating this show! It's Hippy vs. Zoolander after a week of “build”. CJ is wearing the half and half tights. I think even Regal isn't interested here. Chants of “No” from the crowd. CJ goes for the phone and Tyler attacks, CJ reverses the whip and goes for a scissors kick but Breeze runs outside. CJ soon follows and Breeze attacks when they get back in, Regal brings up the point of “Why is Breeze a wrestler if he doesn't want a punch in the face?” it's gonna happen! CJ gets thrown in the corner and a knee drop for a 2. Breeze grabs his phone letting CJ get an airplane spin and drops him following with a senton. CJ hits double knees in the corner and Breeze again ducks from a punch, Breeze grabs his phone and while the ref is distracted hits CJ with it for the win. Boring bad match, I hate both these characters and they're work doesn't help. Even Tony Dawson brings up the idea of it being a “cheap finish”. Winner: Tyler Breeze
Backstage with Renee and Emma. She asks about the feud with Summer Rae, Emma says she has to deal with Rae first before getting her rematch with Paige. Then she'll celebrate with Dance Dance Emmalution. It seems like Adrian Neville will face Conor O'Brian in the main event, I'd like to point it it was an old photo of Conor as he looked nothing like he does now.
Emma vs. Summer Rae: Emma goes for the Emmalock from the beginning and Rae keeps escaping and hits her climb up DDT when she gets up. The 2 do the catfight spot and the fans love Emma so much. Emma is constantly throwing Rae into the mat face first. Emma goes for the dilEMMA but Rae escapes and twists Emma's arm down and then wraps it over the ropes. Rae begins to attack the arm. Rae then does her leg choke in the corner and a seated full nelson with her legs. Emma bridges back for a 2, Rae counters by rolling over for a pinning combination. Emma then gets the dilEmma and her low cross body for a 1. Emma goes for a slingshot but hangs on leading to Rae landing face first and Emma transitions to the Emma Lock straight away for the tap out win. Rae gets up after and pushes Emma out and throws Emma's bubble solution into Emma's face. I'm guessing they'll be doing a 3 way for the title. A good match, as much as I like Rae as a heel she's not the best wrestler. Winner: Emma
We see a video from “earlier today” with Scott Dawson, Sylvester LeForte, Colin Cassidy & Enzo Amore together all talking over each other. LeForte suggests they should all join forces and get revenge on Mason Ryan. Colin brings up the fact all Scott does is lose. Enzo refuses to join, Scott speaks redneck and calls them Jersey Shore wannabes. This will lea to Enzo vs. Scott and I just don't care! Rae is trying to leave and Sasha can't believe what she just did, Rae says Summerslam was named after her (pretty sure she wasn't even alive when it started) and tells Sasha that she's irrelevant, and she's in WWE while everyone else is stuck in NXT. This is being drawn out and I don't see a point. Not very good.
Scott Dawson w/LeForte vs. Enzo Amore w/Cassidy: LaForte is in the most disgusting jacket I've ever seen, he does his usual incoherent promo and out comes Dawson. Enzo gets a big pop from the crowd and he does his own introduction, fans are super into him. Tie up to start and into the ropes leading to the break up. Enzo gets a headlock and Scott pulls the hair to get out. Enzo flips through a hiptoss to land on his feet but Scott throws Enzo onto the ropes from a suplex position. Scott rakes Enzo over the ropes, he then whips and hits his back elbow, knee drop, leg drop combo for a 2. Scott goes for a scoop slam but Enzo floats over and gets a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. It's at this time Alexander Rusev attacks Colin from behind, Enzo gets distracted and Scott hits a back suplex for the win. Just didn't get into this match that much, it wasn't anything special and apparently Enzo is a face now don't know when that happened probably during his awful program with Mason Ryan. Also Dawson & Rusev are now a team, what the hell happened to that Garrett guy? Winner: Scott Dawson
We get a highlight video for last weeks 2 out of 3 falls main event, a fantastic match. Renee brings out Sami Zayn to the ring, she asks how he fells about the match he says he feels conflicted and while he felt good about it he remembers the end result. Renee asks what's next for him, he says he'll be prepared for Cesaro if they face off again and his focus is the same as everyone's (while hitting on Renee) and that's to become NXT champion. This leads to Bo coming out to big boos, what's funny is that one camera shot is a side view of his titantron and it reads “boo”. Fans chant “no more Bo”. Bo says that because fans complimented his match doesn't mean he's a challenger and says he lost, he sounds like a little child. Sami asks why is Bo out here. Bo says he was injured at Summerslam access by Sami and says he's got a lot of work to be like him. Sami says Bo is a delusion crazy person who is ignoring the people, so I guess that's Bo's character. Fans chant “No” at him and Sami brings up that their booing him and he says they're chanting “booooo” the fans then chant boo. Sami says Bo is scared of him and challenges him for the NXT title, out comes Zeb Coulter. He says he warned Sami that he was going to expose him and demands legal documentation showing he can be here. Sami says this is getting stupid (have to agree) and he tells Zeb that after he's become NXT champion he's going to get him & Cesaro deported back to Hell. Jack Swagger then attacks from behind and he hits the Swagger bomb and lays their flag over Sami. Overall this was a really long segment and Bo was dreadful, luckily Sami carried most of this.
Adrian Neville vs. Conor O'Brian: I don't have high hopes here, for as much as Neville is great Conor is just that bad. Pretty much no reaction for the Ascension. Tie up but Neville gets pushed off. At the very beginning it's Conor overpowering and Neville being quicker. Neville gets a springboard crossbody, he goes to kick Rick but misses allowing Conor to press him up and drops him on the ropes then hits a awful running knee for a 2. We go to break rather quickly. We come back with Conor in control but he misses a corner splash letting Neville fight back with kicks. Neville can't knock Conor down until a low dropkick and another low dropkick followed by the Randy Savage clothesline. Neville springboards in but is caught in a flatliner for a 2, a nice spot. Conor misses another corner splash and Neville hits a back suplex for a 2. Neville goes up to the top and hits a 450 for the win. Rick attacks after and they both attack until Graves limbs out and attacks until they attack his taped up ribs and the Ascension get the better of the champs. Ends with them hitting their Total Elimination and to be honest this all fell flat. This was probably the best Conor has looked and the match still wasn't great. Winner: Adrian Neville
I should also point out that they announced Zayn vs. Swagger for next week which is getting high praise online already. Overall this show was pretty rough to sit through, nothing was worth watching in my view and a lot of it fell flat. A very missable show in my point of view that really highlights that while NXT has some great talent they also have some pretty bad talent they have to use from time to time, sadly tonight all of those had to be used.
