Sue me. William Regal will still be NXT's General Manager though, because hell yeah Regal. I'm keeping Vaudevillains, Enzo & Cass, and Sami Zayn off the NXT roster since they're all now quite involved with main roster storylines. As much as I love Zayn, his time has come to shine on Raw and Smackdown. |

WWE NXT
Date: April 6th, 2016
Location: Full Sail University
Wrestling Observer Newsletter Quick Report
-The crowd at Full Sail is raucous tonight as new announcing tandem Mauro Ranallo and Corey Graves announce that Austin Aries will be in action in tonight's main event.
MATCH ONE
Bayley def. Liv Morgan via Bayley-To-Belly Suplex (**1/2)
A bit of a quick match here to get Bayley back on the path towards reclaiming the NXT Women's Championship as she defeats Liv Morgan in Morgan's debut match on TV. Morgan looked impressive, showing athleticism that I'd even compare to Hall of Famer Trish Stratus, doing a matrix evasion into Trish's old Whirlybird Headscissors that popped the Full Sail crowd, causing them to chant "WHO'S YO' DADDIO!", in recognition of Liv's real name (Gionna Daddio). After evading a running Corner Avalanche from the newcomer, Bayley planted Morgan with her Belly-To-Bayley and that was it.
-After the matchup, Billie Kay came out dressed entirely in black including a black veil covering the top half of her face, twirling a rose painted all black in her hand as she simply smirked at Bayley, who looked at the stage in confusion but simply shrugged it off, sending high-fives to the NXT faithful.
-New NXT backstage interviewer Cathy Kelley was standing backstage as she introduced the new NXT Tag Team Champions, American Alpha, Chad Gable and Jason Jordan. The new champs hyped themselves up and stated that next week, they will be defending the Tag Team Championships against any team in the WWE. Gable boldly proclaimed that they could beat anyone, listing the League of Nations, New Day and even the Dudley Boyz because they were ready...willing...and GABLE.
MATCH TWO
Elias Samson and Alex Riley vs. Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa never started
All four men were in the ring, however, as Gargano and Riley were set to lock up, a very pissed off Samoa Joe stormed to ringside. Taking his frustrations out from Dallas, Joe absolutely demolished Gargano and Ciampa, sending Gargano into the video board on the edge of the ring and cracking the glass, and slamming Ciampa down with a Muscle Buster on the outside. Riley laughed at the indy darlings' misfortunes, however Joe turned his attention to the former main roster star and choked him out with the Coquina Clutch as "The Drifter" escaped relatively unharmed up the ramp, guitar in hand.
-Joe got on the mic afterwards, screaming out for NXT Champion Finn Balor to grant him another rematch for the belt, claiming NXT referees screwed him out of the title in Dallas. However, much to Joe's chagrin, "The Demon" was not in the building tonight, causing an outright steamed Joe to stomp back up the ramp.
-Backstage, NXT General Manager William Regal was shown in his office with a pop from the crowd. As he was signing papers and looking over them, a dress-clad Mandy Rose from Total Divas stepped in camera view. Rose offered her hand which Regal amusedly took and shook. Rose offered herself to become William Regal's new Assistant GM, stating that she had a few ideas for the next NXT Takeover, Takeover: Judgment. Regal's eyebrows rose as he sat back down, offering Mandy to sit down in the chair in front of his desk as the segment came to a close.
MAIN EVENT
Austin Aries def. Tye Dillinger via Brainbuster. (***)
A highly entertaining bout to close off this edition of NXT for the week as Dillinger attacked Aries from behind when the match began. After controlling the match for a few moments, including shouting "TEN!" whilst shoving his hands in a downed Aries' face, "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" fought back valiantly, continuing his momentum from Dallas with a Rolling Forearm Smash and debuting his Brainbuster, putting Dillinger down for the three count to send the fans at Full Sail home happy this evening, while NXT went off the air! |
