January 22nd, 2014
Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida
Eiden debuts as the ring announcer, dat chocolate.
Wesley Blake vs. Adrian Neville
Wesley's gimmick is a cowboy, so yeah. This is a solid Neville showcase/squash he busts out some new stuff mixed with his regular stuff. Neville looks super fluent on offense all his spots, flips and moves all look crisp. Wesley gets like two punches in before Neville makes a comeback and ends it with the Red Arrow.
Backstage: The stunning Devin Taylor welcomes the BFF's, she asks Charlotte where she's been. Charlotte says she's been enjoying the benefits of being a BFF. Limousines, jets, the kind of things you do when you're a part of her family. She doesn't get why she's asking about Bayley, who REALLY cares about the cat lady. Life isn't about hugs and headbands, and neither is NXT. Life is vicious and she's not sweet and innocent. She dropped the nobody and joined the somebodies. Summer says 2014 is the year of the BFFs, starting with her match against Natalya.
Xavier Woods vs. Alexander Rusev (w/Lana)
Woods is now coming out to "Somebody call my mamma", and Rusev is now wearing proper gear, not the leather caveman stuff he's been wearing so he must have gotten the green light. Fun Rusev showcase, way better than last week and way better than their first match even though it's pretty much the same match. Rusev beats the shit out of him for 95% of the match, Woods makes a comeback but gets cut off and Rusev locks in the Accolade for the win.
After the match; Rusev locks in the Accolade again, but FUCKING' SIN CARA MAKES THE SAVE. Poor Hunico.
CJ Parker vs. Antonio Cesaro
FUCK YEAH! CESARO IS BACK!
Cesaro totally outclasses, out wrestlers and makes this guy look like a complete jobber. CJ dizzies himself trying an Airplane Spin, but being the master of the swing, it doesn't phase Cesaro. He gets the Cesaro Swing and then the Neutralizer to win.
After the Match; Sami Zayn comes out onto the stage, but he's on a crutch
he says 2014 is off to a bit of a rough start, with this medical situation. 2013 was the best year of his career and a lot of that has to do with the matches he's had here. One match, in particular, did a lot for him and that was with Antonio Cesaro. They called it the best wrestling match of the year, but for me, that's just one black eye on an otherwise great year, and he needs to fix that. He's asking him for a rematch. Cesaro gets the mic and walks up to him on the stage, and says NO! He throws the mic down and bumps his shoulder as he walks past him.
Backstage: Devin Taylor interviews The Miz, Miz says this is his first time here, and it's awesome. He says he's feeling saucy tonight, and they might have to do Miz TV. CJ Parker comes in and asks why the people keep booing, but he's talking to himself. Miz says he can see why and CJ doesn't get it. Miz says he just interrupted someone who's done everything there is to do, and that's disrespectful. CJ says he must have a ginormous carbon footprint because he's spewing all kinds of toxic waste. CJ says to consider this an environmental act, and he slaps him and leaves.
Renee joins, Saxton, Phillips and A-Train. FUCKING 4 MAN BOOTH!
Natalya (w/Bayley) vs. Summer Rae (w/Sasha Banks)
Goes about 2 and a half, Nattie again carries her on the mat before Summer takes over, she's starting to use her long legs as a weapon so that's cool. Nattie came back way too soon, she catches a spinning leg lariat and counters into the Sharpshooter for the win.
Backstage: Devin welcomes Cass and Enzo, Enzo not has pimped out his wheelchair that he's in. She asks Enzo for an update on his health and he says before he broke his leg, he lived life on the edge. Turns out, it's a little rough with a broken leg, so he decided to jump off. Difference between him and many other people is he can fly. Cass says he'll be back in no time, Aiden English comes over. He says the last time he checked, he beat him in a match and their singing contest was a draw after Cass tripped and fell. Cass says it's been cheap shot after cheap shot and he's surprised he hasn't gone home with the ugly girl from the party. He goes to sing, but Enzo runs over his foot as they leave.
Bo Dallas comes out for his "Banner raising ceremony" He says he wants everyone here to know that their reactions to their champion is why they're here to celebrate this historic moment. He cherishes their cheers. When you chant LETS GO BO, it gives him so much strength and it puts him to bed at night like a warm blanket. NXT officials have decided to celebrate the longest reigning NXT Champion in history. Bo says he didn't ask for this, but he humbly accepts. He thanks his family, friends and 4th-grade history teacher for teaching him so much. He unveils a banner hanging from the rafter celebrating his 224th championship day. Adrian Neville comes down the ring, he says he's here on behalf of everyone to tell him to shut up. Bo just laughs and Neville says he's going to take the privilege from around his waist. Bo says Adrian beat a nobody to earn this shot in 4:45 and says he's a champion. It wouldn't take him that long to beat him and says this is outlandish and insane and it's absolutely pointless. Triple H comes on the tron and says their match never had a conclusive ending, and it's a bold statement by Bo, he'll give it to them both. He says if Adrian can last 4:45 with Bo, then Neville will receive his rematch on February 27th. Also, that match starts now.
Beat the clock challenge: Adrian Neville vs. Bo Dallas
Spoiler alert this goes 4:45, Neville toys and wastes the clock early, Bo is so green he just goes along with it instead of trying to be the aggressor. He finally gets it once he takes over at the 3-minute mark, Neville takes some great bumps and it's the best Bo showing to date. Bo covers after everything and tries the cheap rollups but Neville keeps kicking out. Neville comes back and in the last 60 seconds, he goes for Red Arrow but Bo rolls to the floor and stalls for 45 of those seconds, what an idiot. Neville clearly yells at him so Bo comes back in and Neville runs out the clock to win. Damn Bo is dumb.
After the match; Bo tries to cheapshot him from behind but Neville sees it coming and avoids, Bo hits headfirst into the turnbuckle KO'ing himself. Neville then hits the Red Arrow and counts to three.
