NXT Episode 42
April 3rd, 2013
Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida

Tony Dawson is joined by Kassius Ohno and Brad Maddox on commentary.

Bo Dallas & Adrian Neville vs. The Wyatt Family (w/Bray Wyatt)
Tony announces Grey is out for 6 months due to tearing his ACL, Bray comes out with a mic and says Snakes eat mice, they played with fire and now it's time to get burnt. Wyatt's immediately go into isolating Bo, lots of typical big man offense clubbing blows, kicks and slams. But Bo slips out and falls into a Neville tag, he cleans house and hits a sweet SSP on Harper for two. Bray gets on the apron trying to distract Neville which works and allows Harper to take his head off with a big boot giving the Wyatt's control back. This heat is way better than the one given to Bo, maybe because Neville knows how to fuckin sell and can take a beating, so he bumps and sells everything. Sadly, we get a shitty Bo hot tag. The match breaks down, with Neville diving onto Bray and Rowan, in the ring, Bo hits Harper with the Side Belly to Belly for the win. **1/2

At the commentary table, WILLIAM REGAL ATTACKS OHNO FUCK YEAH! He beats the shit out of him, before raking at his eyes and face because he can

Summer Rae & Audrey Marie vs. Sasha Banks & Paige
Super short, but fun, it's also really choreographed. Sasha busts out her Eddie Lucha stuff to start before getting isolated. They work the head and neck for a bit before Paige gets the hot tag, Summer bails out and runs to the back rather than face Paige, and Audrey gets hit with the Paige Turnah for the win. *1/2

NEXT WEEK ~ REGAL/OHNO

NXT Championship: Conor O'Brian vs. Big E. Langston
This gets 6 minutes, and sadly it's way too much Conor he works the neck with his shitting neck spin and holds, with added intense yelling. E makes a comeback hitting all his stuff that he hits during his squash matches and finishes him off with the Big Ending for the win. *1/4

After the match; E hits a 2nd Big Ending and counts to FIVE!

Recap of the Regal/OhNo feud from the last 3 weeks.

The Shield vs. Scott Dawson, Axl Keegan & Percy Watson
LOL Scott is trying to grow his hair but he has a Vegeta level hairline and a massive bald spot at the back of his head. Solid Shield squash for two minutes, Roman never gets it and it's 90% Dean in the ring before Seth hits the Standing Sliced Bread #2 for the win.

After the match; these motherfuckers hit my kid they hit Dawson with the Triple Powerbomb. Ambrose has a mic and says once again, justice has been served. Rollins says they are the most dominant and efficient force in the history of this company. They run Raw and Smackdown and now and forever, they run NXT. BELIEVE IN THE SHIELD! Corey Graves appears on the tron and he says he doesn't believe in The Shield, NXT is his personal wasteland, not theirs. They've cost him the NXT Title twice, so he challenges one of them to fight him next week and he'll make them stay down. Rollins accepts.

Backstage: Tony Dawson is with Summer Rae, he asks why she ran last week. She says she didn't run away, in fact she just remembered that she left her curling iron in the locker room, and didn't want to burn the building to the ground so they should be thanking her. And if it wasn't for the curling iron, it would be Paige's career and not the building.

Backstage: Renee Young interviews Emma, Emma says her path has gone a lot like Lady Gaga's so far. Renee asks if that's the best thing to say, and Emma says she's right and it's more like Madonna's. Renee is confused and says people think she's a klutz. Emma laughs it off and says that's the kids these days with their Electric Slides and Macarenas. But the real wave is the Emmalution. She does her dance but then trips over.

The Funkadactyls vs. The Bella Twins
This is pre-smurf becoming awesome in the ring, so the control isn't good and it happens against Cameron so that doesn't help. Naomi never actually gets the hot tag as they keep her out and beat Cameron with double team rolling bump thing for the win. Bad.

Backstage: Tony Dawson interviews Kassius Ohno who wearing the pro wrestling tee's "REAL MAN'S MAN" t-shirt, He says everyone thinks he's obsessed with William Regal. He's not obsessed, but he has watched every match. The Queensbury Cup, brass knuckles, King of the Ring, kissing ass, all of it. He's seen so much of Regal and heard so much of him, but after this match, nobody's going to see or hear from him again.

WrestleMania 29 weekend recap.

Backstage: Renee Young interviews William Regal, she asks why he agreed to this match and Regal says being inside his head is not a nice place to be, and he was happy with his role. But those doors have been unlocked and he must face the consequences. MAY MY CHILDREN FORGIVE ME!

Kassius Ohno vs. William Regal
HOLY SHIT! THIS STILL HOLDS UP! They have this awesome mat wrestling sequence with Regal getting the better, as they play off the teacher vs. student story, Regal is one step ahead and even busts out shit I've never seen. Sadly, Maddox does his best to ruin this with his inside jokes, and terrible comedy 1 liners. WHERE THE FUCK IS JR? Regal decides he's already proved he is superior on the mat and begins beating on Ohno, he gets into his bag of dirty cheating and uses all the tricks he's learnt over the 30 years in wrestling. But, Ohno gets a desperation knee to the gut and baseball slide kicks him on the floor. Ohno targets the head with nasty boots and even locks in a full nelson, BUT REGAL FIGHTS OUT AND STOMPS ON THE HAND! FUCK YEAH! HAND WORK Regal bends the fingers, and shit to the point where IDK if legit but Ohno has to bend his finger back into place That pisses Ohno off who ups the violence an goes back to working the head, and ear Awesome shit too, is Ohno can't apply the cravat because his fingers hurt so he can't fully lock it in, which allows Regal to fight out and mount a brief comeback. But, Ohno shuts all that shit down with a nasty boot to the face. Regal's selling of potential being concussed is awesome, he stumbles around but shows heart and refuses to stay down. They don't have a traditional comeback, it just ends with Regal avoiding the roaring elbow with an elbow of his own, and follows up with the running knee strike for the win. AWESOME! ****

I don't remember The Shield making this many NXT appearances

 

[Cwalker]

This was back when NXT was exclusively on Hulu right? That’s why I don’t remember much of it

I don't remember when it went to Hulu but at first you couldn't even watch this shit in the states unless you found it on a watchwrestling site or downloaded it, it was overseas airing only.

Fair enough, I just know that I have very few concrete memories of pre-network NXT

Summer Rae could've been this generations Trish....another one they didn't do shit with.

NXT Episode 44
April 17th, 2013
Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida

Tonight: Graves/Seth - Lumberjack Match.

Regal is back on commentary.

Justin Gabriel vs. Leo Kruger
They immediately go into a hilarious battle of the chops to start before Justin takes it ot the mat, he targets the arm but it goes nowhere and Leo takes over after an impressive Double A Spinebuster to take over, he doesn't work apart more just do stuff to pass the time until Justin can make these small comebacks, 1 which includes Justin just kicking the shit out of the arm he worked on earlier. He keeps trying to lock in arm holds, but Leo doesn't sell it at all. Leo blocks a Sunset Flip Powerbomb and punches Gabriel down to the mat beneath him, he follows with a sweet Double Stomp off the middle and locks in the GCIII AKA the London Dungeon for the win. **1/4

NEXT WEEK
AJ/Kaitlyn - Diva's Championship
Neville/Cesaro - US title
Maddox/Big E - NXT title
Bo/Barrett - IC Title

Video recap of the NXT wrestlers at Mania weekend Axxess.

Backstage: Renee Young interviews Paige, she asks her about Summer's comments last week. Paige says Summer has done nothing but running, running her mouth, running from her, but she's not going to run anymore. She wants her in a match one one one and says she doesn't think Summer has the guts to face her. Summer hasn't got a tough bone in her body and she'll break all of them to prove it. But, Summer attacks her from behind and lays her out. Summer asks who's running now?

Bayley vs. Emma
Solid Emma showcase, Bayley works heel and it's weird but really good given what happens in a few years. Emma's commitment to the dancing and it almost costs her the match, but she fights back and locks in the Emma lock for the win.

Yoshi Tatsu vs. Bray Wyatt (w/The Wyatt Family)
Bray squash, he ends it with Sister Abigail.

After the match; Bray hits it again and grabs a mic, he says NXT is a playground full of puppets for him. This is a message for everyone in the back, they need to understand that there is no man walking on two feet that is greater than he. He is the eater of worlds. It's time the beast started opening up your eyes.

Cory Graves vs. Seth Rollins [Jobber's Lumberjack Match]
So the Lumberjacks are all jobbers, and guys that have yet to appear on TV yet. E.G. Fucking Enzo and Cass, Mojo, Corbin mixed with the usual jobbers. This isn't good at all, Graves is trying this super intense "tweener" gimmick that isn't working because he's terrible. And Seth is just early WWE Seth so he sucks. The Lumberjacks contribute nothing but rolling the wrestlers back in, Seth works the mid-section that gets no-sold, same with Graves when he targets the knee. This is 8 minutes that feels like 80. The Shield comes from the crowd and takes out all the lumberjacks, because LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! And that allows Seth to hit the standing sliced bread #2 for the win. *

NXT Episode 45
April 24th, 2013
Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida

Backstage: Dusty welcome us to NXT's "CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS"

WWE United States Championship: Antonio Cesaro vs. Adrian Neville
Solid opening, Neville keeps trying flashy pins to win this as early as possible, while Cesaro just tries to keep him grounded not only to stop the high flying but now to counter these roll-ups. Cesaro suckers Neville in and drops him jaw first onto the top turnbuckle as we go to break when we return Neville makes a brief comeback but Cesaro stomps on his chest to take over again. He keeps the focus on the head with headlocks, but Neville fights out and hits this FUCKING AMAZING MOONSAULT TO THE FLOOR! He follows up with a springboard dropkick off the top and mounts a comeback, Cesaro crotches Neville as he's about to try for the Red Arrow and pulls him out into the Neutralizer for the win. ***

WWE Diva's Championship: AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn
This gets 5 minutes, they work the big vs. small story, with AJ taking some nice bumps early and avoids a Kaitlyn charge who hits shoulder first into the turnbuckles, AJ works the arm but it's clearly rushed with the time limit so the can't get all the way into stuff like they would on their main roster PPV matches. Kaitlyn makes a comeback and hits a spear outta nowhere for the win. **

Backstage: Tony Dawson interviews CHRIS JERICHO! He announces he's wrestling on NXT next week, he puts over NXT and the performance centre. Before, saying Dusty has allowed him to pick his opponent for next week. But before he can say, Bray Wyatt comes over and introduces himself. He says he's noticed a change in Jericho and offers him a deal. TAKE HIS HAND! AND CARRY THE WYATT'S CHAINS? Jericho says he's been watching him, and he's good, not great so he wants him next week. And if Bray wins, he will JOIN THE FAMILY!

NXT Championship: Big E. Langston vs. Brad Maddox
Wonderful E squash. Big Ending gets the win, after the match; E hits another and counts to 5. E goes to leave but decides better and hits a 3rd Big Ending and counts to FIVE!

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Wade Barrett vs. Bo Dallas
FUCK YEAH! THE CROWD DEBUT THE "NO MORE BO" chants This is bad, they build up Bo being a better striker than Wade whose gimmick is a bare knuckle brawler or someshit. Wade uses his experience and striking to keep Bo on his back for a while, before locking in a headlock to further kill the match. Bo has his usual shitty comeback, but as he comes off the top Wade catches him with the bull-hammer elbow and covers for the win. *

TONIGHT NXT is JERICHO!

Triple Threat Elimination Tag Team Match: Primo & Epico vs. The Wyatt Family vs. Adrian Neville & Bo Dallas
Bo and Neville do stuff early, Bo is easily the worse guy in the match which is saying something when he's in the ring with a very green Rowan. Harper and Neville keep this solid, and P&E are just here. "NO MORE BO" chants are getting louder to go with the crowd BOOOOOO'ing anytime Bo gets any offense in. Bo ends up getting isolated by both teams as Regal asks if Maddox is Eric Bischoff illegitimate child before shits all over him for being terrible with his inside jokes. The Wyatt's target Bo's neck, why E&P work the back. Neville has a fun hot tag and the match breaks down, Neville hits Primo with the Red Arrow and pins him, but as soon as he gets back to his feet Harper kills him with the rolling Lariat for the win. **1/4

Recap of NXT's best feud so far Summer Rae vs. Paige

Paige vs. Summer Rae
Motherfuck yeah, Summer jumps Paige from behind as Paige is making her entrance but she takes too much time taunting which allows Paige to recover and attack her, Summer's maybe green but she does a fantastic job at getting her ass kicked and selling the beating through her facial expressions. She manages to whether the Paige onslaught before finding an opening and attacking her knee. Solid knee work on her behalf, you can see Triple H's influence here as Summer is doing all of Hunter's knee work before locking in the Indian Deathlock and the reverse Indian deathlock Paige sells it pretty well it's not '98 Billy Gunn level which I'm just gonna compare every leg selling too from now on, but she limps around for the rest of the match and continues to when she makes her comeback. Summer tries to leave, but Paige catches her and throws her into the ring apron. She catches a spin kick attempt into the Paige Turnah for the win. **1/4

BREAKING NEWS: Nevile has chosen Bo to replace Grey as his partner making him half of the tag team champions UGH!

Next Week: Bo/Neville vs. Wyatt's for the NXT Tag Team Titles

Bray Wyatt (w/The Wyatt Family) vs. Chris Jericho
They basically killed any hype or any excitement for the outcome once that did that if Jericho lost he would "join the Wyatt's" Jericho comes out hot doing his best 2000/2004 babyface stuff, he looks really good and Bray takes some tremendous bumps for him, Rowan then trips him up so the ref ejects him, Harper gets to stay though. Back from break, Bray tosses Jericho to the floor where Harper can connect with a big boot behind the refs back allowing Bray to take over. Bray works the upper body for a bit, it's pretty meh, not on the level he's been doing against some of the jobbers. Jericho has a decent comeback and hits a terrible looking catapult sending Bray into Harper and then puts on the Walls of Jericho for the win. UGH! *3/4

NXT Episode 47

Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida

Damien Sandow vs. Baron Corbin
I don't know why, but I always thought Sandow was an "NXT" guy like I thought he stated the gimmick on NXT and was the first to crossover into WWE with it, he started on WWE TV May of 2012 a month before this new NXT. So he's just here taking spots and trying to ruin the show. This is CW's boy's official debut, he looks super generic and he's trying to cover up his WOAT hairline by having a mohawk, you know white people love having a mohawk once they start losing their hair. NAW DOGG WE SEE DEM SIDES! This is a basic Sandow showcase for 3 minutes, it's not really good, Sandow is basically like 1998 Kane, once you see past the big words and shit you can see he's just a bad wrestler. But' Kane's was just appearance and aura, but I do love his voicebox promos. Sandow wins with the Straightjacket Neckbreaker. *

After the match; Sandow challenges Big E to an NXT title match.

Backstage: Bo and Neville are talking, Bo says he's ready and honoured to be his partner. He promises to give him 80% which is 110% better than everyone's 100.

Bayley vs. Paige
Solid match, nothing special Paige does a lot of the stuff she did against Summer in the early portion of the match until Bayley drops her neck and back first onto the ring apron. God bless, she works the neck and shows signs of improvement. Paige has a solid comeback and hits the Paige Turnah for the win. *3/4

After the match; Summer Rae runs out to attack Paige, before quickly leaving. FUCK YEAH! This feud is continuing.

Backstage: Todd Phillips interviews Big E, SUSPECT E continues to show through the cracks as he tries to put over his yo-yo collection, Sandow then comes over and challenges E face to face. E makes him take a match test, with the final number being FIVE~!

Briley Pierce vs. Sakamoto
So they gonna totally ignore that Briley was the NXT backstage interviewer like a month ago, now he's Dolph's brother trying to make it. This goes about a minute before FUCKING' Conor O'Brian then comes out to destroy them both. UGH! FUCKLIFE.

Backstage: Renee Young is with Nattie, who puts over total divas when Summer Rae comes over, she says everyone is jealous of her, Nattie says she's hardly a lady and challenges her to a match next week. Summer says she will expose her for not being a total diva, but for being a total freak.

Backstage: Renee is with Briley and Sakamoto, Briley says Connor made the biggest mistake of his life and Sakamoto speaks in Japanese.

Kassius Ohno vs. Camacho
Damn, Hunico is still locked up in Mexico Ohno works this more of a babyface, he has some nice pinpoint strikes targetting the head, before Cam takes over working the head too. I love that, that match with Regal a few weeks ago was so good that it basically just turned Ohno face and the crowd now respect him for it. He makes a nice comeback before hitting the Kassius Clutch which is the Crossface Hangman's Clutch. **

After the match; Ohno grabs a mic and begins walking up the ramp, he says he's not scheduled for this but he has to get something off his chest. The last few months have been a blur, he apologizes to Regal but the Wyatt's come out. He has a face off with Rowan and Harper, and then Bray.....BUT FROM BEHIND ROWAN AND HARPER ATTACK HIM. They beat him down before Bray hits Sister Abigail on the stage.

Next Week: Sandow vs. Big E for the NXT title.

NXT Tag Team Championships: The Wyatt Family (w/Bray Wyatt) vs. Bo Dallas & Adrian Neville
Bo and Neville in matching white and black is pretty dope, you know i'm a sucker for that type of stuff. They isolate Rowan to start, wearing him down with headlocks and quick tags, but Rowan puts a stop to all of that with a brutal forearm and tags Harper in. Harper/Neville rules, as usual, it allows Neville to get into his bag with dives and spots. Champs also get a briefly isolate Harper too but when we return the Wyatt's are now in control, they iso Bo for like a minute before Neville gets the hot tag, he cleans house he hits Harper with the Red Arrow but Rowan breaks up the cover. Rowan hits a couple of scoop slams which allows them to gain control back, they work the back and it's way better than the one on Bo because it's longer and Neville fucking sells, but the sad part is we get the shitty Bo hot tag. The match breaks down, and Bo is shoved into Neville on the apron allowing Rowan to hit the big boot, and Harper to hit the rolling Lariat for the win. FUCK YEAH! **3/4

Natalya vs. Summer Rae
Nattie guides Summer through the mat work the start, Nattie controls the early being the vet but the gets suckered in by Summer calling for the truce and Summer pulls the tights sending Nattie to the floor, once Nattie gets back onto the apron Summer boots her in the face to take over. When we return from break, Summer targets the arm but it gets cut short and no sold, Paige comes out and gets onto the apron but Summer kicks Nattie into her and Rolls her up for the win. After the match; Paige chases Summer to the back.

Backstage: Renee Young is joined by the DEBUTING SAMI MOTHERFUCKIGN ZAYN! She says he's making his in-ring debut next week against Curt Hawkins, she asks him whats going through his mind. He says a lot, first that's a "lovely" blouse she has on, CLB Sami off the rip He says this isn't his first rodeo, he's confident and this is going to be a beautiful start between him and the WWE audience.

Bray Wyatt and the Family comes out, Bray looks Sinister AF! He says Chris Jericho got him thinking that he needs to go back to his roots. WITNESS THE NEW FACE OF FEAR. This is not the face of a human being, this is the face of a monster. The face of the Eater of Worlds. And every time you look into his face, I want you to realise, you can never hurt him. Because he's already dead.

Bray Wyatt (w/The Wyatt Family) vs. Danny Burch
SQUASH BRAY BAK! It's so awesome, he throws great strikes along with just throwing his body around crushing Danny before hitting Sister Abigail for the win.

Backstage: Neville is in the trainer's room when Bo comes over, Bo asks if he's upset about last week. Neville says he's been better, and Bo says to chin up. He says it's like John Cena says, never give up. He says Cena won the Royal Rumble, the same match that he was in, and Neville says he knows who he is. Neville says he's been looking for Bo all day, and Bo says he just entered himself in the battle royal in two weeks for a title shot. He says the spots are all full though and wishes Neville better luck next time. Neville says he's already signed up and says may the best man win. They shake hands and Neville leaves, and Bo doesn't look happy.

Sakamoto & Briley Pierce vs. Conor O'Brian
This fuckin' Connor guy man and I haven't even reached his peak of NXT yet UGH! Connor destroy's both guys and hits a double flapjack for the win.

A guy in all black comes out onto the stage and watches Connor, oh noz it's happening.

Backstage: Cory Graves says his whole life has been ups and downs, he enters the NXT battle Royal and when he wins everyone will........BRAY WYATT comes over, he asks why Graves keeps playing this cool guy when theirs a war right outside. Just ask Ohno, and his time will come. NXT belongs to him, Graves says he creeps him out and believes if he keeps messing with him he and his family will stay down.

E DEBUTS 3 AIN'T ENOUGH I NEED 5

Naww that shit needs to be linked

​

NXT Championship: Damien Sandow vs. Big E. Langston
This gets 12 minutes and oh boy, it starts off good with E dominating but he's clearly moving slowly to waste time, instead of his usual 95mphs destroying guys. Sandow avoids the corner charge and takes over with a lariat to the back of the head. This is where the match dies a slow painful boring death, Sandow keeps the rest holds for the entire heat, they all look terrible especially his headlock using his legs. E does all his squash match stuff during his comeback and hits the Big Ending for the win. *1/2

After the match; E hits a 2nd Big Ending and counts to FIVE!

Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida

It was around this time I started following NXT again, but I was only watching Ohno and Sami matches.

Tonight: Bray/Graves.

Curt Hawkins vs. Sami Zayn
So I'm currently watching PWG from 2007 in free time before bed and it's crazy how much bigger Sami has gotten from his prior life. Regal does a fantastic job putting over Sami as this word class wrestler whos been all over the world, but also puts over himself too. This is a fun Sami showcase, he bumps around and is already the best wrestler in NXT and maybe the WWE. He does the Sami thing and gives Hawkin's a shit ton of offense before making a comeback, he hits everything so clean and smooth and wins the match with running up the ropes into a tornado DDT. **

Cory Graves "Stay down" video package airs.

Antonio Cesaro vs. Yoshi Tatsu
Goes about a minute, before Cesaro hits the pop up uppercut and follows up with the Neutralizer for the win.

After the Match; Cesaro grabs the mic and asks if this is the best competition NXT has? He says there's nobody that can hold a candle to what he does in the ring. BUT SAMI ZAYN COMES OUT He asks if he said he has no competition, and Cesaro says he's a bright one. Sami says he's competition and says something in Arabic and asks if Cesaro speaks that one, and says it in French. Cesaro says to make his day, and the match is on

Antonio Cesaro vs. Sami Zayn
AWESOME FIRST MATCH! It gets about 7 and a half, Cesaro uses his strength but Sami counters with LUCHA goodness, until Cesaro hangs him up on the top rope to tag over, Sami takes a number of hard corner bumps and Cesaro is awesome working the neck and back, Sami shows heart and fire but keeps getting cut off with Cesaro killing him with stuff. CESARO CATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR AND COUNTERS THE CROSSBODY INTO A TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER Cesaro starts to get frustrated not being able to put this no-name away and starts punching away in the corner looking for the knockout, Cesaro blocks an inside cradle and deadlifts him up for a Suplex, but Sami slips out and schoolboys him for the upset. ***

After the match; Cesaro attacks him from behind and hits the Neutralizer.

Backstage: Renee Young goes to interview Aubrey Marie, but Emma comes over and butchers her name a lot. She says if Marie is stressed she should dance, Aubrey calls her dance stupid, and Emma asks if that's the new hipster meaning for cool. Aubrey tells her to leave of she'll take her out, and EMMA SAYS TAKE HER OUT TO EAT! Emma does her dance but pokes Aubrey in the head as she leaves.

Brey Wyatt video package airs.

MOTHERFUCKER ENZO AMORE DEBUTS!

"My name is Enzo Amore, I am a bonafide G and a Certified stud and when I look up and down the roster all I see is a bunch of fake tough guys. FOOGAZY! Everybody's real until a real situation shows up. Everybody's a G until a G walks in the room. BADA BOOM. REALEST GUY IN THE ROOM!"

Enzo Amore vs. Mason Ryan
Mason squash, he's god awful.

Next Week "Stephanie McMahon makes a HISTORIC Announcement"

Cory Graves vs. Bray Wyatt (w/The Wyatt Family)
This gets around 10 minutes, apparently, Bray is wearing the mask because he broke his nose in the Jericho match, but Regal claims maybe he's just doing it to scare his adversaries like he said in the promo last week. Graves uses speed and front headlocks to wear Bray down early, awesomely Bray hits his running crossbody to take over as we go to break when we return Bray does a lot of the same work he did against Jericho. I'll give it to Graves tho, he takes a nice bump when Bray shoves him back first into the steps before making his comeback, Bray loses his mask and Graves starts throwing strikes at the nose. He takes out Harper and Rowan, before locking in the 13 steps but Rowan distracts the ref allowing Harper to drop an elbow breaking the hold. Bray then picks him up and hits Sister Abigail for the win. **

After the match; The family puts the boots to him, but Ohno runs down to make the save but the numbers catch up to him and they beat him down too to end the show.
