Sami Zayn vs. Curt Hawkins: Starting the show with a match and a rematch of Sami's debut match. It was also announced that the main event is a 8 man tag but no names mentioned. Tie up to start and Curt tries a cheap shot after the break but misses. Sami gets behind and Curt drops down then gets a headlock but Sami escapes with a hammerlock and Curt runs back into the corner and hits a kick. Sami floats over and hits 2 beautiful armdrags and his around the world one. Sami with a chop in the corner and does the 10 punches for a 2. Sami snapmares and crucifixes Curt for a 2, then quickly grabs a chinlock but Curt hits a jawbreaker. Curt scoop slams for a 1, he struggled a little lifting him up. Curt chokes Sami on the ropes, then hits a soccer kick to the back leading to a chinlock. Curt gets a shoulder block but Sami comes back with a leg lariat for a 2, Curt tries to throw him out but he lands on the apron. Curt then throws Sami into the post and to the floor leading to break. We come back with Sami fighting off a suplex but Curt gets it for a 2. Curt gets another chinlock on and Sami fights out, he goes to run the ropes but Curt follows and slides out tripping him as he does in a very nice spot. Curt grabs a quick chinlock again, throws some clubbing blows and back to the chinlock. Sami gets whipped and it ends in a double clothesline. Both punch each other repeatedly until Sami gets a couple of clotheslines and gets lifted to a dropkick. Sami misses the mafia kick but he jumps up to the top and gets a crossbody for a near fall. Curt hits a pele kick of sorts for a 2. Sami floats over a back suplex but Curt hits an Impaler DDT for a 2. Curt eats a boot in the corner and Sami attempts his climb up DDT but Curt stops it and hits this weird flipping move, he put Sami's leg over his head and flipped Sami over to his stomach, for a near fall. Curt throws his elbow pads and gloves in Sami's face this fires Sami up and he fights back leading to a Mafia kick and his tornado DDT for the win. A really good opening match but what did you expect from Sami Zayn. Winner: Sami Zayn
Main event is CJ Parker, Xavier Woods & the tag champs vs. Leo Kruger, Tyler Breeze & the Ascension. We then get an advert for Triple H's DVD release I'm interested in this but I am for most superstar DVD's. Aiden English gets introduced and he demands a spotlight, he comes out singing. I guess they're giving him something other than a jobber role. To be fair he has a pretty nice voice.
Aiden English vs. Michael Q Lawyer(?): Tie up to start and Aiden slaps Q, Aiden then hits a kitchen sink and a shortarm clothesline. Aiden hits a leg drop and a twisting side effect for the win. He then demands a spotlight and gives an encore. NXT is full of stupid gimmicks but I like this one and Aiden plays it very well. Winner: Aiden English
We go backstage with Bo Dallas on the phone and Renee comes in to ask a question but Bo was leaving a message on his hotline that's in BOlivia (anything to put with Bo). Renee asks about his thoughts on Sami but Bo isn't impressed with that win and he's come up with an idea that he'll reveal next week. Bo looks so goofy when he's cutting his promos but I guess that's his character now, still don't like it. It's also revealed that Triple H will be making an announcement next week about NXT and there will be a tag turmoil to name number 1 contenders.
Tyler Breeze, Leo Kruger & the Ascension (Rick Victor & Conor O'Brian) vs. Xavier Woods, CJ Parker, Corey Graves & Adrian Neville: This match is getting time as we're 20 minutes away from the show ending but after watching Breeze's entrance my guess is 5 minutes of that will be the entrances. Neville has new music which is so generic, a real down grade from his previous one. Neville and Rick to start, Rick shoulder blocks but Neville nips up and gets an armdrag, tag to Corey who keeps hold of the arm and tags to CJ who grabs the arm and tags to Woods who grabs the arm and tags Neville who double foot stomps the arm. Rick finally grabs Neville and Leo gets the tag letting Leo punch and grab the arm, Neville does countless rolls to break out and tag Woods they repeat what they did earlier with Leo instead. This spot is just going on and on. Finally we break away from that, Corey does his gorgeous float through of a hip toss into an armdrag and then hits another arm drag into an armbar. Leo gets a knee and tags Conor, Conor does a headsnap between his legs and tags Leo. Conor does the double arm lift and Leo hits a point, you know what I'm not even going to stay it. Rick gets tagged and gets some gut shots, tagging out to Leo no Tyler at this point he's clinging onto the post and is not even on the apron fully. Leo missed a corner splash and Woods gets tagged leading to a dropkick and hits the Honor Roll clothesline and Leo rolls outside leading to the babyfaces taking the heels out with dives to the outside and we go to break. Coming back Rick has Woods in a surfboard, during the break Leo hit a great spinebuster to get control back. Woods tries to fight back but gets cut off and Leo gets the tag and he just puts in the boots, Conor gets tagged in and Tyler tags himself in to a massive pop from the crowd. Tyler hits a punch and Woods hits a bodyshot leading to Tyler running and tagging to Leo in a funny spot, it gets a “That was Awesome” chant. Leo grabs a chinlock and Woods is carrying Leo on his back trying to tag but Leo drags him back down, Woods then gets a jawbreaker and Tyler is tagged in to a big pop. Tyler drops the knee for a 1, Woods gets a bodyshot and again Tyler runs and tags Conor, I'm liking Tyler in this match. Conor drops an elbow for a 2 and gets a bodyscissors he then drags Woods into his corner. Tyler back in and attempts a suplex which is blocked and Woods gets a suplex. CJ and Conor get tagged in, CJ with a jumping clothesline and his double knees followed by a scissor side kick for a 2. Corey tries to clothesline himself and Rick out but only does himself somehow. Conor hits a full nelson slam for a 2 that is broken up. Conor misses a corner splash but comes back with a flapjack and Tyler tags in for the pin but it's a 2, CJ punches Tyler in the face and the other heels leave Tyler for tagging himself in and out as he pleases all match getting them more heat. CJ hits another big punch to the face and Woods hits Lost in the Woods. Corey comes in with a chop block and Neville tags and hits the Red Arrow for the win. A very fun main event here and Tyler Breeze was the shining star here. Winners: CJ Parker, Xavier Woods, Corey Graves & Adrian Neville
This was a nice little show that flew by and it really tried to place more focus on new stars in Aiden English's new gimmick and Tyler Breeze being so over in the main event. I don't think they were expecting Breeze to be over as he was but the match played out perfectly for it regardless. I'd say this so was worth checking out for sure as it just flew by and was a Breeze to sit through, ha ha ha ha I'll let myself out.
