We start off with a video highlighting the Beat the Clock Challenge from last week which resulted in the making of this weeks main event.
Yoshi Tatsu vs. Antonio Cesaro: Boy did I forget Yoshi Tatsu existed. Big pop for Cesaro who runs down and then throws the flag in. Thankfully this week we have Regal & Renee on commentary with someone else, those 2 are always great together. Cesaro gets in the ring announcers (Bryan Saxton) face for picking up the flag Cesaro threw in. This leads to Regal running down and pulling the announcer out. Bell rings and Tatsu gets a school boy for a 2, then kicks and chops followed by a Mongolian chop. Cesaro catches a spinning heel kick and powerbombs him. Punches in the corner followed by a spinebuster and the Giant swing for about 30 seconds. This gets a “You are Awesome” chants while Cesaro stares towards Regal. European to the back and he grabs his rear naked choke into the Neutralizer for the win. Through out all of this Cesaro kept looking towards Regal which I believe is going to lead to a match between the 2. Impressive squash match but Cesaro always looks great. Winner: Antonio Cesaro
Backstage with Devon and Bo Dallas. She asks who does he think will win. He says we're all winners tonight as we get to see talented wrestlers collide tonight, it's like the Voice but without Cee Lo Green. He then says that either way they can't beat him leading to the awful CJ Parker walking in all “drugged” up. Bo says “Excuse me Captain fantastic” and CJ responds with “I didn't realise I was harping your mellow” which is responded to with “I didn't realise you were still employed”. He then calls him Pauly Shore and CJ challenges him to a match and Bo just laughs him off and CJ ends with some random garbage. Well CJ you've done one thing right, I hate you more than Bo and Bo looked good here because of you.
CJ Parker vs. Bo Dallas: One thing I love about NXT is that they don't over exposure their champion, this is Bo's first match since he beat Sami Zayn over a month ago. It gets mentioned that Bo's reign is the longest ever now. Tie up leads to CJ throwing Bo into the corner and getting a roll up for a 2, Bo then kicks out the leg while still on his back and then another kick to the face. Back elbow by Bo then 2 more leading to a short arm clothesline for a 2 count then a 1 count. Bo grabs a kravate, gets a 2 count and CJ then rolls him off. CJ hits a clothesline, a punch then his double knees and scissors kicks. CJ then hits a drop out face plant for a 2, CJ then gets caught on the top rope as Bo hits the ropes. Bo then hits a climb up bulldog for the win. Fans didn't care for this one bit and it wasn't a great match. Personally don't like either guy and it seems the fans have the same opinion. Winner: Bo Dallas
Backstage and Devon is with Emma, she asks about her injuries she says it's no big deal and the Emmalution will continue to grow. Paige comes in and says that's good as there will be no excuses for when the face. The 2 go back and forth about their accidental attacks to each other and Emma leaves dancing. They did this a couple of weeks back and it was the same thing here really. After adverts we come back to Paige with Natalya bakcstage asking her why she was so rude to her (did I miss something here?). She says she still cares about the divas since being on Total Divas and she still cares about the titles. Paige says they should have a match tonight with the title on the line and Natayla agrees. This was so random and out of no where.
Tyler Breeze vs. Kassius Ohno: For someone who no longer works for WWE he sure has got a lot of TV time lately. Alexander Rusev attacks Ohno from behind with the Vader splash and then walks off. Officials attend to him and Ohno goes into the ring against their will but the ref rings the bell and Breeze hits the beauty shot and wins in seconds. This really makes me think they didn't plan to fire Ohno as it seemed he was going to work a feud with Rusev after this although I can understand why Ohno was upset with how they were using him. Winner: Tyler Breeze
Backstage and the 3 BFFs are looking at Charlotte's phone and guys. Bayley comes in and Charlotte runs off, she asks where Charlotte is. Summer says Charlotte doesn't want to talk to her as she's moved on and that her friends Paige & Emma can't get along. Bayley demands Charlotte and Summer repeats herself. She challenges them to a tag match and says she has friends for it, leading to a “mystery” partner I imagine. I can't feel for Bayley at all to be honest, she's just too childish. ANOTHER backstage thing! This time Devon is with Sami & Neville, she asks how Adrian feels. They both say they go back a long ways and that tonight is about the NXT championship and points out this is a shot to the main roster. Sami agrees with him basically and claims he wants it more than Neville who brushes that off. Not great here mainly because Neville spoke way more than he should in my view.
Hunico & Camacho vs. The Ascension (Rick Victor & Conor O'Brian): Oh this show is dragging so much and it just got so much WORSE! Rick and Camacho start with the 2 trading punches. Rick chokes in the corner and the 2 mess up an Irish whip, not even lying about that. Camacho then gets a back suplex after boots in the corner and a jumping leg drop. Hunico is tagged, Rick is slammed and then hit with a slingshot senton for a 1. Hunico hits a springboard crossbody but runs into an STO leading to a tag to Conor. Conor with boots and an Irish whip to the corner for a 2, he then runs Hunico into the corner to hit more boots. Rick gets tagged with more boots, another tag and a punch by Conor leading to another tag. H Bomb by the Ascension which Hunico kicks out at 1. Tilt-a-whirl into a small package by Hunico on Rick for the win. Sweet lord we're getting more of this! This was awful and once again the fans didn't care one bit! Winners: Hunico & Camacho
Sami Zayn vs. Adrian Neville: Regal leaves and Bo Dallas replaces him on commentary, big trade down. Hand shake off the top, Neville shots for a leg but misses. Sami grabs an arm ringer and the 2 trade off reversals. Their history on the indies is brought up, they had some classics. The reversals end with Neville getting a 1 after a sweep. Neville grabs an headlock and hits a shoulder block after a push off, a leap frog and a series of arm drags by Sami ending with the around the world version. Sami gets a double leg and an ankle pick until Neville kicks him off, Neville flips over a back body drop then a running headscissors ends with Sami on the outside, Neville goes for a dive but is cut off with Sami running in with a back elbow. Neville goes out and Sami hits a tope con heelio leading to break. We come back with Neville blocking being thrown into the corner and hits chops, resulting in a trade off. Snapmare and a chin lock by Sami. Neville gets up and fights back but runs into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker for a 2. Sami sets up for the Mafia kick in the corner but misses and flips to the outside allowing Neville to kick Sami off and hit a gorgeous top rope Asai moonsault. Neville hits a springboard dropkick for a near fall which Sami sold by folding himself in half. Sami grabs Neville's foot, Neville misses a kick but blocks the back suplex and hits an Enzuiguri. Neville goes for a cartwheel elbow in the corner but Sami catches him mid jump turning it into a Blue Thunder bomb for a very near fall. Neville floats over a scoop but Sami reverse eating an elbow, Sami then catches Neville with a sick Michinoku driver for another near fall. Sami teases the Mafia again but runs into a boot. Cartwheel by Neville who lands on Sami's shoulders then twists into a Hurricanrana for a near fall. Neville gets on the apron with Sami trying to stop him but Neville hits him with a jumping kick even after that Sami catches him on the top rope. Sami tries a superplex, although many were yelling for the Brain buster which I doubt we'll see ever, Neville blocks and hits a headbutt into the Red Arrow for the win. A fantastic match between these 2 like I knew it would be. So next week we'll be getting Neville vs. Bo for the title, I still think Sami is going to be the man to end the reign though. After the match the 2 hug ending the show. Winner: Adrian Neville
This show dragged something fierce! Until the main event began this was a bit of a chore to get through, don't know what it was maybe a combination of bad backstage stuff that just kept going on or bad uninteresting mix of opponents for matches. Also one backstage segment teased Paige/Natalya for the show even saying “We'll do it tonight” but it didn't happen, maybe it will happen next week. Check out the main event for sure it was great.
