NXT Reckless Abandon (Live from Universal Sound Stage 21 (FL) 1,400 in Attendance)

Boone Sparrow versus Samuel Stewart

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Samuel Stewart defeated Boone Sparrow in 7:22 by submission with a Crossface. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette welcomes us to tonight’s NXT Reckless Abandon event as the sole announcer and our first match of the evening sees two WWE Performance Center graduates go head to head in a match that ends with Samuel Stewart picking up the all-important victory in his NXT debut after forcing Boone Sparrow to tap out to the Crossface.

Match Rating: F+

Athena versus Audrey Marie

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Audrey Marie defeated Athena in 8:13 by pinfall with a Shining Wizard. Athena receives a great reception from the NXT Universe in attendance inside the NXT Arena as she makes her way to the ring for her NXT debut match tonight and it is clear that she is already a Fan Favourite in the eyes of many. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette says on commentary that with the influx of new female talent coming to NXT from both the independent scene as well as from Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown there could eventually be a reintroduction of the NXT Women’s Championship, a title that was last held by one half of the NXT Tag Team Champions Eve Torres before being retired due to a lack of challengers. Audrey Marie has experience on the main roster competing in front of the WWE Universe and it shows and the “Country Girl”, who wore a cowboy hat on the way to the ring, Audrey Marie ends up getting the win here after hitting a Shining Wizard.

Match Rating: D

Steven Walters versus Adam Pearce

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Steven Walters defeated Adam Pearce in 12:53 by pinfall with a DDT. Neither Steven Walters nor Adam Pearce receive a positive reaction from the NXT Universe in attendance inside the NXT Arena as they make their way to the ring, which Adam Pearce being booed for acting like an “Old School Heel” and the fans still not really knowing what to think of Steven Walters who doesn’t seem to have much of a personality. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette notes on commentary that the NXT Universe are starting to get behind Steven Walters by the end of the match and Walters ends up getting the win over the first ever NXT Arena Champion after hitting Pearce with a DDT.

Match Rating: E+

Johnny Gargano, Alesteir Black & Scott Dawson vs. Drew McIntyre, Alexander Rusev & Sunny Dhinsa

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Drew McIntyre, Alexander Rusev and Sunny Dhinsa defeated Johnny Gargano, Alesteir Black and Scott Dawson in 18:05 when Drew McIntyre defeated Scott Dawson by pinfall with a Futureshock DDT. The “Alien Invader” Alesteir Black is making his NXT Arena debut tonight and competing in front of the NXT Universe for the very first time. He comes to the ring mysteriously with an alien mask over his head and seemingly acting very curious about the environment around him. Johnny Gargano, despite being Cocky, seems to be loved by the NXT Universe and Scott Dawson soon takes control of the match for his team with his hard-hitting, No Gimmick Needed style. Eventually the former WWE Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre gets into the match and cleans house for his team before hitting the Futureshock DDT on Scott Dawson to win the match for his team of international stars.

Match Rating: D

NXT North American Title: Ezekiel Jackson © vs. Aiden English vs. Wesley Blake vs. Dustin Rayz

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Ezekiel Jackson defeated Aiden English, Wesley Blake and Dustin Rayz in 8:08 when Ezekiel Jackson defeated Dustin Rayz by pinfall with a Book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel Jackson makes defence number seven of his NXT North American title. This Fatal Four-Way match for the renamed NXT North American Championship sees Ezekiel Jackson be a complete Bad Ass and dominate the majority of the match despite the NXT Universe in attendance inside the NXT Arena backing Aiden English to pick up the upset win. Ezekiel pins Dustin Rayz to retain his title again.

Match Rating: D

Sin Cara versus Evan Bourne

In a bout that had solid in-ring action and average heat, Sin Cara defeated Evan Bourne in 7:24 by pinfall with a Moonsault. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette notes on commentary that Evan Bourne is competing in front of the NXT Universe inside the NXT Arena for the very first time tonight after having spent the past few years competing in front of the WWE Universe on Monday Night RAW. Evan Bourne seems to see himself as an Every-Man and one of the people, but it appears that those in attendance saw this as a bit fake and were on the side of the masked “Gangsta” of NXT Sin Cara throughout this match, which ended after Sin Cara pinned Bourne following a Moonsault.

Match Rating: C-

Highlights are shown of the first ever NXT UK Glory Days touring show earlier this month that saw Sebastian Knight defeat Damien Black to become the first ever NXT UK Midlands Heavyweight Champion and Rigour Mortis defeating Franco in the main event to become the first ever NXT UK British Heavyweight Champion.

NXT Championship: Curtis Axel © versus Eric Young versus Kyle O’Reilly

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Curtis Axel defeated Eric Young and Kyle O’Reilly in 13:45 when Curtis Axel defeated Eric Young by pinfall with a Perfect Plex. Curtis Axel makes defence number five of his NXT Championship. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette does in-ring introductions prior to tonight’s NXT Championship Triple Threat main event match before returning to the commentary table to witness Curtis Axel retain his NXT Championship in a great main event after pinning Eric Young.

Thursday, Week 4, October, 2014

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live:

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey versus TJ Perkins and Rich Swann

The main event of tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield and will see the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville team up with his “British Ambition” tag team partner Oliver Grey to take on the team of TJ Perkins and Rich Swann. Last week’s 205 Live main event saw Adrian Neville defend his WWE Cruiserweight Championship against TJ Perkins in the final match made by the now former 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle. At the start of the evening last week 205 Live commentary team member John “Bradshaw” Layfield announced to the WWE Universe that he was the new 205 Live General Manager. Prior to last week’s main event match TJ Perkins came to the ring with his good friend and fellow Fan Favourite Rich Swann. TJ Perkins asked JBL at if Rich Swann could accompany TJ at ringside for the main event as Adrian Neville would have his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez with him, but JBL rejected the request and sent Rich Swann to the back. Adrian Neville was then successful in beating TJ Perkins and retaining the Cruiserweight Championship, but an all-important victory for TJ Perkins and Rich Swann in tag team action tonight could well lead to one or both of them receiving a future title opportunity.

Tajiri versus Enzo Amore

This Sunday at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View Enzo Amore will join the masked Rey Mysterio in challenging Adrian Neville for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship in a Triple Threat match. Before then, however, the “Guido” from the Tri-State area Enzo Amore will take on former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Tajiri tonight on 205 Live. Despite rubbing the WWE Universe the wrong way with his egotistical rants about how is the best in the division, Enzo Amore is undefeated since coming to 205 Live from Friday Night SmackDown and holds victories over the likes of Chad Gable, Rich Swann and TJ Perkins.

Chris Jericho versus Chavo Guerrero

Finally, the “Cheeky Monkey” beloved by the entire WWE Universe and former Cruiserweight Champion Chris Jericho will be in action tonight on 205 Live when he takes on a fellow former Cruiserweight Champion in Chavo Guerrero. “Latino Heat” Chavo Guerrero last faced Jericho back in June on Monday Night RAW with Jericho picking up the win. Chavo Guerrero hasn’t won a match since his victory over Tajiri back at the start of August.

Quick Picks:

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey versus TJ Perkins and Rich Swann

Tajiri versus Enzo Amore

Chris Jericho versus Chavo Guerrero

(Predictions are welcomed, there will be a prediction contest held every month.)

WWE 205 Live (Live from La Puntilla Arena (PR), 1,076 in Attendance)

Pre-Show: Chad Gable versus A.R. Fox

In an extremely poor match, Chad Gable defeated A.R. Fox in 18:04 by submission. Unfortunately this match was too long given who was involved with the WWE Universe still not really caring about A.R. Fox despite him having previously appeared on 205 Live. Ultimately it was the former USA Olympian Chad Gable, who competed in the 2012 Olympic Games in London two years ago before going to Mexico to learn the art of being a luchadore, who picked up the all-important victory here after forcing A.R. Fox to submit.

Match Rating: D-

Tonight’s edition of 205 Live kicks off with the 205 Live commentary team of Scott Stanford, the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman and the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield welcoming the television audience to the show and announcing that tonight’s tag team main event will see the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville team up with his “British Ambition” tag team partner Oliver Grey to take on the team of TJ Perkins and Rich Swann. Ricardo Rodriguez then makes his way to the ring to a chorus of boos and jeers from the WWE Universe in attendance as he retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Ricardo Rodriguez says that he would like to introduce his clients, the WWE Cruiserweight Champion and “King of the Cruiserweights” Adrian Neville as well as the man chiseled from stone, Oliver Grey. The “British Ambition” pairing of Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey then come to the ring with Neville looking as Cocky as ever as he is handed the microphone from his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez. Neville says that this Sunday at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View he will beat both the masked coward Rey Mysterio as well as the arrogant little “Guido” Enzo Amore in their Triple Threat match to once again retain the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Adrian Neville says that since becoming the Cruiserweight Champion back in June he has already retained the title against Rey Mysterio on several occasions and just last week in the main event retained the title again against the “Fan Favourite” TJ Perkins. Adrian Neville says that he is very happy to see the back of the former 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle who Neville says made a mockery of the Cruiserweight Championship by being the last one to hold it before the inception of 205 Live and that Hornswoggle was an inept General Manager as well. Neville says that he is much more confident in the future of 205 Live under the leadership of the new General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield and says that he is excited that he and Oliver Grey have been given the opportunity to take on and defeat the perennial losers TJ Perkins and Rich Swann in tonight’s tag team main event. Neville says that JBL made the right decision in removing Rich Swann from ringside last week and that Neville and Grey will teach some respect into both Rich Swann and TJ Perkins tonight. Neville, Grey and Rodriguez then leave the ring together and head to the back as 205 Live heads to its first commercial break of the evening.

Rating: E

Tajiri versus Enzo Amore

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Enzo Amore defeated Tajiri in 8:28 by submission. Unfortunately Enzo Amore is starting to become a little stale in his current role. It would appear that many members of the WWE Universe are already getting sick of Enzo’s “Guido” routine. Nevertheless Enzo Amore gets the win here after forcing Tajiri to submit.

Match Rating: E+

(Dean Malenko feels that the fans have become a little bored with Enzo Amore and that perhaps a turn or a gimmick change would freshen him up and give him a boost.)

The 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield gets up from the broadcast table following a commercial break and says that not only is he a Journalist who does fine work at the broadcast table but he is also the General Manager now and also has a fine eye for talent. He then calls Oliver Grey out, and one half of “British Ambition” makes his way to the entrance-way. JBL informs Oliver Grey that this Sunday he at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View he will be in action as he will take on 205 Live’s newest signing, the debuting Cedric Alexander. JBL then tells Oliver Grey to go back and continue to prepare for tonight’s tag team main event when he will team with the Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville to take on the team of Rich Swann and TJ Perkins.

Rating: E

Chris Jericho versus Chavo Guerrero

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Chris Jericho defeated Chavo Guerrero in 7:48 by submission with a Walls of Jericho. Chris Jericho continues to win matches since coming to 205 Live.

Match Rating: D+

TJ Perkins and Rich Swann make their way to the ring for tonight’s 205 Live tag team main event. The Fan Favourites both receive great ovations from the WWE Universe in attendance as Rich Swann takes a microphone from the ringside area. Rich Swann addresses the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield and says that he’s excited to see Cedric Alexander coming to 205 Live but that he can get to the back of the line as that after Rich Swann and TJ Perkins beat the British Ambition pairing of Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey tonight they will be the next to challenge for the Cruiserweight Championship.

Rating: D-

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey versus TJ Perkins and Rich Swann

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, British Ambition defeated TJ Perkins and Rich Swann in 12:59 when Adrian Neville defeated Rich Swann by pinfall with a 630° Senton. Ricardo Rodriguez accompanied his clients, the “British Ambition” pairing of the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey to ringside for this match and watched on as Neville pinned Rich Swann to win the match for his team.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown:

Non-Title: WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jinder Mahal versus Big E Langston

The main event of tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie and will see the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jinder Mahal take on Big E Langston in non-title action. This Sunday at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View Jinder Mahal will put his WWE Championship on the line in a Hell in a Cell match against AJ Styles whilst Big E Langston will also be in action this Sunday at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View as he will join Kofi Kingston in challenging Jimmy and Jey Uso for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Jinder Mahal has had some disparaging remarks to make about Americans as of late and the WWE Universe in attendance tonight will likely be in support of Big E Langston who will be looking to do all he can to pick up the all-important victory against the WWE Champion Jinder Mahal.

WWE United States Championship: Bobby Roode © versus Andy Leavine

Last week on Friday Night SmackDown Bobby Roode made his first successful defence of his WWE United States Championship when he defeated Xavier Woods to retain the title in Roode’s first title defence since winning the title back in September at the Night of Champions Pay-Per-View.

Damien Sandow versus Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens

Last week on Friday Night SmackDown following a victory over Ryback, Friday Night SmackDown’s Money in the Bank briefcase holder Kevin Owens was once again warned by Jinder Mahal not to think about cashing in his title shot any time soon. Owens will be in action against Damien Sandow tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.

Kofi Kingston versus Angelo Dawkins

Before Kofi Kingston joins Big E Langston in challenging Jimmy and Jey Uso for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships this Sunday at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View, Kofi Kingston will take on Angelo Dawkins tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.

Non-Title: WWE Women’s Champion Naomi versus Layla

Women’s division action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown will see the WWE Women’s Champion Naomi take on Layla in non-title action just two days before Naomi puts her Women’s Championship on the line this Sunday at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View in a Triple Threat match against both Rain and Natalya.</div>

Pre-Show: Christina Von Eerie versus Maxine

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Maxine defeated Christina Von Eerie in 18:05 by pinfall. Maxine was visibly tiring towards the end of this pre-show match that went the distance with Christina Von Eerie possibly having the superior physical condition of the two women. Despite being tired by the end of this match, Maxine was still able to pick up the all-important victory here after pinning Christina Von Eerie after the eighteen minute mark.

Match Rating: E-

Match Rating: D-

Tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown kicks off with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jinder Mahal making his way to the ring. Mahal receives a tirade of boos and jeers from the WWE Universe in attendance as he retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Jinder Mahal says that this Sunday at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View he will prove that he is still a Rockstar and can perform like no other when he defeats AJ Styles in their Hell in a Cell match to successfully retain his WWE Championship. Jinder Mahal says that he is so loved in India as the biggest Rockstar and role model they have and this Sunday he will make the Indian people proud when he defeats the Redneck American AJ Styles and proves that his title reign will be long-lasting. Jinder Mahal says that the upper-management in WWE are bias towards the American AJ Styles as whilst the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie has put Jinder Mahal in a non-title main event match tonight against Big E Langston, AJ Styles has once again been given the night off from in-ring competition. AJ Styles then comes to the entrance-way with a microphone in hand and says that he would like to introduce the man who has been training AJ Styles behind the scenes as AJ adjusts to life in the WWE and the man that will lead AJ Styles to becoming the new WWE Champion this Sunday. Norman Smiley then comes to the entrance-way and shakes hands with his client AJ Style as Jinder Mahal looks shocked in the ring as SmackDown heads to its first commercial break of the evening.

Rating: D

Match Rating: D

Following the conclusion of the match Naomi celebrates in front of the WWE Universe before Natalya joins Naomi in the ring.

An irritated Naomi then kicks Natalya in the head before staring down Rain.

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, The Uso's defeated The Great Cabana in 6:46 when Jimmy Uso defeated Colt Cabana by pinfall with an Alley-Us.

The following contests are confirmed to take place at tonight’s WWE Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View:

Universal Championship: Hell in a Cell: Brock Lesnar © vs. Monday Night RAW’s Mr. MITB Kane

The main event of tonight’s Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View will see the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar put his title on the line in a Hell in a Cell match against the masked monster Kane, who is cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase tonight that he won back in July. Brock Lesnar defeated the inaugural WWE Universal Champion back in June on Monday Night RAW to become only the second ever Universal Champion and since then has made three successful title defences, the most recent coming in a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell match against both Roman Reigns and William Regal at last month’s Night of Champions Pay-Per-View. Kane will be doing all he can to pick up the all-important victory tonight and leave as the new Universal Champion in a match that he made his first WWE appearance in, Hell in a Cell.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Hell in a Cell: Jinder Mahal © versus AJ Styles

The WWE World Heavyweight Championship will also be on the line in a Hell in a Cell match tonight as Jinder Mahal will put the title on the line against AJ Styles. Jinder Mahal won a Triple Threat match against the former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt as well as Xavier Woods at last month’s Night of Champions Pay-Per-View to become the new WWE Champion on the same night that AJ Styles made his WWE debut in-ring appearance, albeit failing to become the new US Champion. Can AJ Styles win the biggest prize in the WWE in his second ever WWE match tonight?

WWE RAW Tag Team Championships: The Bar © versus Resurrection (Matt Hardy and Luke Gallows)

At Summerslam back in August the Bar pairing of Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro defeated the Resurrection duo of Matt Hardy and Luke Gallows to become the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions. The Bar then defeated Resurrection again last month at the Night of Champions Pay-Per-View to make their first successful title defence. The Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox has informed Resurrection that if they fail to win back the titles tonight then their run as a team is over.

WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships: The Uso’s © versus Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston

Jimmy and Jey Uso became the first ever WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions back in June before losing the titles to Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston at Summerslam in August in a Triple Threat tag team match that also involved the Rhodes Dynasty. Last month at the Night of Champions Pay-Per-View Jimmy and Jey beat Big E and Kofi to regain the titles and tonight Big E and Kofi will receive their contractually obligated rematch as this rivalry continues.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: The Miz © versus Dolph Ziggler

Last month on Monday Night RAW Dolph Ziggler returned to RAW for the first time in two years following a spell on Friday Night SmackDown and claimed that he wanted a shot at the Miz and the Intercontinental Championship. Tonight Miz will have to defend the Intercontinental title against Ziggler.

US Title: Bobby Roode © vs. Xavier Woods vs. Mr. MITB Kevin Owens vs. Randy Orton vs. Nakamura

The undefeated Bobby Roode became the new WWE United States Champion last month at the Night of Champions Pay-Per-View in his WWE main roster debut in a match that also involved AJ Styles, Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin and the former US Champion, Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens. Tonight Roode will put the title on the line in another Fatal Five-Way match against Xavier Woods, Kevin Owens, Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Adrian Neville © versus Rey Mysterio versus Enzo Amore

Adrian Neville defeated Rich Swann back on 205 Live in June to become the first ever WWE Cruiserweight Champion of the 205 Live era and has since made four successful title defences, including three singles victories over Rey Mysterio on Pay-Per-View. Tonight Neville will put the title on the line in a Triple Threat match against both Mysterio and Enzo Amore.

WWE United Kingdom Championship: Pete Dunne © versus Tyler Bate

The “Parking Inspector” Pete Dunne defeated the inaugural WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate back in August at Summerslam to become the new UK Champion and retained his title against Tyler Bate at the Night of Champions Pay-Per-View last month.
