The show I'm watching just starts off with Bo Dallas in the ring wearing a party hat having returned. He says there's no place like home and he says everywhere he went everyone loved him. Out comes JBL, he says the company is so proud of him and Bo is the face of NXT. Out comes Sami Zayn in a Misfist t-shirt and a suit jacket, nice combo. JBL says Zayn should learn respect, Bo adds “I told him that”. Zayn asks to be reinstated and have a chance to take the NXT title from that delusional cheese ball. JBL says he could suspend him forever if he wanted, fans chant Cheese ball which angers JBL. He reinstates Zayn and Bo congratulates him, he says he already beat him. Zayn says he has no problem working from the bottle back up to the top and he promises to win the title. JBL announces a beat the clock challenge to name a new No. 1 contender and Sami is in it.
Colin Cassidy vs. Alexander Rusev w/Lana: Poor Cass he's all alone for a while as Enzo is out with a broken leg for 6 months, let's see what he can do as a singles star. He's not got a good chance against Rusev. Lana does a introduction to “What” and the Rusev looks very different with his hair slicked back. They tie up and go to the corner where Rusev hits a knee and a punch, this is already longer than most of Rusev's matches lately. Jumping headbut for not even a one and Cass comes back with kicks and punches, Rusev reverses a whip and hits the running Vader splash for a 2. Another headbutt and another 2, then 3 falling headbutts for a 2 to “You can't wrestle” chants by a handful. Rusev misses a jumping headbutt and Cass gets a 1 off a punch, then a 2 from another punch. Cass goes for a scoop but Rusev pushes off and Cass hits a high knee like Harley Race for a 2, an elbow drop for another 2. Cass misses a Stinger splash, Rusev throws him in the corner and locks in the Accolade and Cass actually hangs on and gets the ropes, first guy to do that. Shoulder blocks in the corner by Rusev then follows with his knee strikes on the rope for a 2. Rusev keeps attacking the back and no sells elbows, then hits a headbutt to the back of the head and another Accolade for the win at 5:33. Think it was a mistake using Rusev here when you've had him kill everyone so quickly in the past month or so. An OK match between the 2 here could have been so much worse. Winner: Alexander Rusev
Backstage with Devon Taylor (a new girl I'm guessing) who is with Adrian Neville and asks him about his match last week. He says they always take risks when they're in the ring and he's not thinking about Graves but the Beat the Clock. He says he's a thrill a second and a human rollercoaster. Bless that man he tries but he's no talker. Another backstage segment with Bayley all alone after Charlotte turned on her last week, Devon asks how's she's feeling. Bayley doesn't know why Charlotte did what she did and she hasn't spoken to her since then but will next week. Bayley asks if Devon wants to do the robot with her and she walks off, rather goofy but that's Bayley.
Tyler Breeze vs. Kassius Ohno: Something tells me Ohno won't be winning here. Ohno walks into a punch by Tyler who attacks after and keeps trying to get a pin but is only getting 1's. Boots in the corner. Bryan Saxton asks William Regal want he'd do in this situation and Alex Riley adds “Why do you keep asking Regal about in ring stuff” because he's one of the all time greats and you are a nobody, Regal pretty much says the save in response. Ohno gets a series of rolls ups and backslide for 2's, a big chop by Ohno. Ohno goes for a big boot on the apron, Tyler grabs it and hits a jumping kick sending Ohno to the outside. Tyler struggles to get Ohno on his feet and they just get in at 8. Tyler hits a suplex for a 2, Ohno keeps pushing Tyler away until Tyler hits a dropkick. Tyler misses the beauty shot and follows with a series of roll ups. Ohno catches a boot and whips it back planting Tyler face first in a nice looking spot. Ohno misses the Ohno Blade, Tyler gets a rolls up for a 2 but Ohno rolls through with a roll up for another 2. Ohno gets another roll up for the win with 45 seconds remaing. Well I was wrong , time to beat 4:48. Good match here liked how pretty much all of Ohno's offence was roll ups telling the story of he wanted the win quickly which would become a running theme in everyone match after.
Aiden English vs. Adrian Neville: We literally come back with Aiden in the ring, killing his gimmick in my view. Tie up and Neville gets a school boy for a 1 then a chop. Aiden gets a snapmare for a 1 then an elbow for another 1. Neville floats over a slam and does a leg sweep for a 1, he back flips a leg sweeps attempt and hits a dropkick for a 1. Aiden fights back and hits a suplex for a 1. Aiden drops 3 clubs for a 2 then boots in the corner. Scoop slam by Aiden and jumping leg drop for a 2. Aiden hits a headlock takedown and punches for another 2. Neville gets a back suplex and a jaw breaker, followed by leg kicks and a series of running forearms. A low dropkick for a 2, scoop slam and he climbs up but Aiden rolls out hits a back elbow and a swinging neck breaker for a 2. Aiden sets Neville on the top but he fights back and hits the Red Arrow with 3 seconds remaining for the win, time to beat 4:45. A really good finish that was pushing it a bit in terms of time. Again another good match that was worked very well and to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if they did something in Zayn's match to stop him winning and they go with Neville for a week. Winner: Adrian Neville
We cut backstage with the Ascension talking about Hunico & Camacho (oh that's a winning program if I ever heard of it). They accept the challenge and continue talking, basically saying they will beat them. Just meaningless garbage, man I hate this team so much.
Leo Kruger vs. Sami Zayn: Out comes Bo Dallas before things start and he's in his gear but is sitting on a chair on the ramp, angle alert. Leo hits a knee and a club but Sami gets a crossbody for a 1. Sami reverses a hip toss with a backslide for a 1, then floats over and a school boy for a 1 but Leo hits a punch getting up and a scoop slam for a 2. Leo nails a snap suplex for a 2, then a back suplex for a 2. Sami gets sent to the corner but gets a elbow up, Sami does his jump up crossbody for a 2. Leo keeps going for pinfall after pinfall. Sami fights back with clotheslines then hits lift up dropkick for a 2. Sami misses the Mafia kick and Leo gets a 2 out of it, Sami floats over a back suplex but runs into a spinebuster for a near fall. Leo hits the Slice for a 2, keeps going for pins but Sami gets a cruicifix for the win as the clock hits 0 as the 3 is counted. JBL comes out and says he'd love to blame the ref but can't and says next week Zayn will face Neville and the winner of that will face Bo. A rather unique ending that I liked and we should get a fantastic match next week between the 2. Winner: Sami Zayn
Overall a good show, I personally don't know if I would have gone with a beat the clock challenge in such a short show but it's a easy way to get people invested in a match and they all worked the matches well. I'm really looking forward to Neville/Zayn but I have a small feeling that Graves & Dallas could get involved during it.
