NXT RESULT 6/28
It’s elimination time, as we head into the seventeenth week of NXT Redemption! The opening titles roll, and commentators Todd Grisham and William Regal welcome us from Phoenix, Arizona. Regal guesses that Conor O’Brian will be eliminated tonight as Darren Young makes his way to the ring.
-Darren says that Chavo Guerrero is not here because he quit on him. He’s done more than Chavo in his short time here, and he’s done it all by myself. He says that tonight, he’s going to show everyone why he’ll be the NXT winner. Conor O’Brian walks out and says that when he’s done with Darren, there won’t be any more talks about what Darren has done. The only talk will be about how Conor O’Brian took your NXT Redemption and turned it into absolute destruction.
Match #1: Darren Young vs. Conor O’Brian
-The two rookies lock up and fight around the ring. Conor eventually pushes Darren and himself through the second rope to the outside. Conor gets back into the ring, Darren follows, and Conor drops him with a clothesline. He then goes to strikes, hitting Darren with a European uppercut for a two-count. He rams Darren into the turnbuckle, then pulls him out into a short-arm clothesline. It gets a two-count, and Conor applies a modified wristlock. Darren gets up and runs the ropes, hitting a shoulder block, but Conor gets up and stops Darren in his tracks. Darren rolls off to the apron and Conor follows. Both men are on the apron and Darren hits a neckbreaker onto the apron as we go to commercial.
-Commercial
-Both men are up and Darren hits a shoulder block for a two-count. Conor is seated and Darren torques Conor’s neck. Conor gets to his feet and hits the ropes, only to run into Darren’s elbow. Darren hits a number of boots to Conor’s face as he tries to get up, but that only gets a two-count as well. Darren goes back to the neck crank and the crowd starts booing. Conor slowly makes his way to his feet and hits a quick flapjack on Darren. He then slingshots Darren into the turnbuckle and tries for a school boy, but Darren kicks out. Darren whips Conor into the corner and Darren runs the ropes, but he gets leveled with a huge big boot. Conor suplexes Darren onto the ropes. Darren gets up and quickly slams Conor’s shoulder into the second turnbuckle. Darren then hits the Three Amigos on Darren, and goes up to the top rope to a chorus of boos. Darren hits a frog splash for the three-count.
Winner: Darren Young
-Yoshi Tatsu vs. Tyson Kidd is announced for later tonight.
-Yoshi Tatsu is backstage with another shrine. His Yoshi Tatsu action figure is in the center. Tyson Kidd comes up and picks up Yoshi’s action figure. He taunts Yoshi and starts pulling off the figure’s limbs. Yoshi goes nuts and takes Kidd down. Referees come in to pull them apart while Yoshi starts yelling in Japanese.

-Yoshi Tatsu looks upset and is all business as he makes his way to the ring. Kidd comes out with a smirk and Yoshi’s glare never leaves Kidd.
Match #2: Yoshi Tatsu vs. Tyson Kidd
-Yoshi tackles Kidd and they’re just brawling. Kidd rolls out of the ring and recuperates, but Yoshi hurries out. Kidd tries to trick Yoshi, going back into the ring and trying to take advantage when Yoshi follows, but Yoshi dodges, gets back into the ring, and takes Kidd down once again. Kidd throws Yoshi into the corner and stomps Yoshi down. Kidd whips Yoshi but Yoshi counters with a kick to the face. Kidd takes control again, whipping Yoshi into the corner. Yoshi falls out of the ring by the steel steps and Kidd gets out of the ring and hits a low dropkick on Yoshi, ramming him into the steps.
-Commercial
-Kidd is in control with a modified hammerlock on Yoshi. Yoshi gets to his feet, but Kidd stops Yoshi with a knee to the gut and a back suplex with his arm trapped. Yoshi fights to his feet with a chop, but Kidd stops Yoshi again with a kick to the quadricep. Kidd attacks the arm, stretching it with the bottom ring rope. He stomps on Yoshi’s hand and applies an armbar. Kidd yells to give up, but Yoshi won’t. Yoshi gets fired up, gets to his feet, and hits an arm drag. Both men hit the ropes and both men hit a flying clothesline. Both men are down as the referee starts the count. They both get up at 5 and Yoshi starts with the Flair chops. Yoshi drops Kidd with a gut kick and hits his signature snapmare-kick to the face combination. Kidd reels in the corner and Yoshi hits his double knee attack and a spinning wheel kick, which gets a two count. Yoshi goes to the top rope, but Kidd runs up to the corner and tries to hit a superplex, but Yoshi pushes him away. Yoshi tries to make it to the top, but Kidd runs back over and dropkicks the rope, dropping Yoshi where it hurts. Kidd hits a picture-perfect frankensteiner for a very close two-count. Kidd gets up slowly and Yoshi tries for a small package, but Kidd gets out. Kidd tries for a suplex, but Yoshi rolls out and drops Kidd with a roundhouse kick to the head for the three-count.
Winner: Yoshi Tatsu

JTG says he’ll be keeping an eye on Hornswoggle and walks off.
-Commercial
-Maryse makes her way out. She will be joining the commentary team. Hornswoggle’s music hits to a nice pop and out come Titus O’Neil and Hornswoggle. We get a recap of Maryse rejecting Hornswoggle last week. Hornswoggle looks upset in the ring while Maryse has a big grin on her face. She says she’s just honest as JTG makes his way to the ring.
Match #3: JTG vs. Titus O’Neil
-Titus whips JTG and drops him with an elbow strike. Titus forces JTG into the corner and throws him right back out. Meanwhile, Hornswoggle goes over and gives Maryse a note. It says “I love you. Do you love me?” with boxes marked Yes, No, and Maybe. JTG is back in control with a scoop slam. He then hits a back suplex which JTG modifies into a neckbreaker.

It is time to go to the RedemptTron 2011-5 and the eliminated rookie is Conor O’Brian.
Conor is asked for some parting words.

NXT AS ON SEP 07
*JTG pinned Tyler Reks. JTG actually pulled fuzzy dice out of his boot to shake at one point.
WWE NXT:
Josh and Cole out to start NXT, followed by Striker. The NXT theme music is new for the girls.
The Pros came out to introduce their rookies. Vickie came out last to excuse herself and get booed. She introduced her new diva, Caitlyn.
Striker said the season would last 3 months. Then each Diva got a chance to speak. Caitlyn was the girl that was homecoming queen and class clown. Vickie wasn’t happy and told her to do it again. So Caitlyn just kissed Vickie’s ass.
Aksana said she’s the billion dollar beauty from Lithuania. She said her favorite colors were black and gold. Striker said she like “double double E”
Maxine said she had street, book, and common sense. The crowd “WHAT”d her.
AJ said Striker needed a hug, then said she wanted to win NXT and the title.
Jamie said she was ready to step from behind the mike and give it 110% and looks forward to the work needed.
Naomi thinks WWE has been missing her, saying she’s a fighter and that talk is cheap.
Next is a rookie challenge. The Pros go to the stage. Striker said first elimination will be in four weeks, whoever has the most wins is immune.
The challenge is a diva dance off…with Michael Cole. Cole had red legwarmers and a Fred Astaire hat and NO rhythm. Naomi did some not wholly PG dancing. Jamie just shook in place and got booed. Cole got a break on favor of Chimel, who was offered donuts.
AJ grabbed Chimel’s tie (she’s so fired!) and rump grinded him a bit. Maxine tried to remove her suspenders and used his tie too.
Josh was partner three for Aksana. They did some cheek to cheek classic dancing. Caitlyn did the robot and other old school moves from Evolution of Dance.
Everyone but Naomi and AJ got booed, including Cole. Naomi won.
Tag match: Kelly Kelly and Naomi vs. Alicia Fox and Maxine. Naomi hit a nice springboard into a sunset flip and a good dropkick. Maxine with the worst bronco buster lite and an okay suplex. Crowd is really into Naomi. Naomi surprised Maxine with a small package for three, which didn’t seem to be the finish. A little confusion, Naomi hit a suplex and rolled over to a cover, but the ref called it and Chimel announced Kelly and Naomi as winners.
They’re setting up a stand with a flag hanging about seven feet up.
Another challenge, a capture the flag race around ringside, a diva eliminated each time. Finish saw Naomi win again, beating out Maxine.
Mixed tag: Goldust and Aksana vs. Primo and AJ – Aksana hit an ugly slam and legdrop but okay backbreaker. The Rookies flubbed the finish so they redid it, with AJ hitting a lift by Aksana into a bulldog (that really planted Aksana’s face) for the win. I am guessing they will edit that out.
Afterwards, Vickie and Caitlyn came out. Vickie wanted Caitlyn to do her intro again. Caitlyn told Vickie off, then tried to attack AJ when Primo said it was AJ’s moment. AJ shoved Caitlyn into Vickie, and AJ and Primo celebrated to close NXT.

Mixed tag: Goldust and Aksana vs. Primo and AJ – Aksana hit an ugly slam and legdrop but okay backbreaker. The Rookies flubbed the finish so they redid it, with AJ hitting a lift by Aksana into a bulldog (that really planted Aksana’s face) for the win. I am guessing they will edit that out.
Afterwards, Vickie and Caitlyn came out. Vickie wanted Caitlyn to do her intro again. Caitlyn told Vickie off, then tried to attack AJ when Primo said it was AJ’s moment. AJ shoved Caitlyn into Vickie, and AJ and Primo celebrated to close NXT.

We are back and Did You Know that WWE has a number of awards from the military?
Jack Swagger comes to the ring and he is accompanied by his father. Jack says that it is an understatement that he has lived a fortunate life. When you have his genetics it is hard to get lost in the glamour and limelight. It is easy to lose sight of friends and family when you are constantly put on a pedestal against the top in the world. When you are being terrorized by a monster like Kane, you forget about things like winning back his World Title. He is going to clear the good name of Swagger and he is going to prove to Kane that he had nothing to do with the Undertaker.

Swagger tells Kane that he has more evidence and Jack says that it is a photo of a 5K he ran and he points out that his dad came in second. The photo speaks for itself. Swagger says that he had nothing to do with the Undertaker. Kane grabs Jack by the throat and Swagger’s dad tells Kane that his son was with him on Memorial Day. Swagger hits Kane with the mic and he kicks Kane and he puts Kane in the ankle lock. Kane gets to the ropes but this is not a wrestling match so it doesn’t matter.
