NXT 2.0- February 15th, 2022

Live From: Orlando, Florida

Commentary Team: Vic Joseph & Wade Barrett

Welcome to another exciting edition of NXT 2.0! Vic Joseph & Wade Barrett barely have enough time to run down the card before they're interrupted by...

The Acclaimed!

Max Caster: "Yo! Listen! Platinum Max and Anthony Bowens, gonna take over NXT like Kevin Owens!"
"Who can stop us? These other teams can't. We're better than this crowd's dumbass chants!"
"Mustache Mountain, me and Bowens are bonafide. You two are better off taking a mustache ride!"

Anthony Bowens: "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"
"NXT!!!! THE ACCLAIMED HAVE ARRIVED!"
GRADE:

Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Semifinals Match:
VS
The Acclaimed vs Mustache Mountain (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven)
The Acclaimed got here by defeating MSK a few weeks ago, while Mustache Mountain beat Pretty Deadly on NXT UK to qualify. This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Bate & Seven. Tyler Bate and Max Caster start the match off with Bate hitting Caster with a big boot. Bate throws Caster in the corner and hits him with a knife edge chop. Bate picks up Caster and hits him with a powerslam. Bate goes to the second rope and attempts a diving pointed elbow drop, but Caster gets up and dropkicks Bate out of mid-air. Caster picks up Bate and hits him with a swinging neckbreaker before tagging out to Anthony Bowens. Bowens blasts Bate with a lariat before hitting him with a standing moonsault. Bowens picks up Bate and attempts a military press slam, but Bate wiggles out of it and hits Bowens with a German suplex. Bate tags out to Trent Seven, who hits Bowens with a lariat. Seven picks up Bowens and hits him with a sidewalk slam. The match comes to an end when Seven attempts to hit Bowens with a powerslam, but Bowens wiggles out of it and hits Seven with an exploder suplex! Bowens takes out Bate and tags out to Caster before they hit Seven with the Critically Acclaimed! Caster covers Seven and gets the three.
WINNERS: The Acclaimed
GRADE:

After that match is over, we cut to the locker room, where Kay Lee Ray is getting ready for her match. Dakota Kai enters and says that she's got KLR's back tonight before asking her something that's been on her mind. Dakota asks KLR why she helped her out a few weeks ago. KLR responds by saying that the answer is very simple...

Kay Lee Ray: "Dakota, I've been seeing you backstage without anyone, just moping about. So, from one lost soul to another, I've got your back mate."

Dakota cautiously thanks KLR before KLR asks her if she wants to team up in the upcoming Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Dakota accepts the offer and KLR finishes this promo by saying that her & Dakota are about to be the baddest bitches in NXT!
GRADE:

We then cut to another video hyping up the debut of Roxy Ramirez. This video shows Ramirez at the Performance Center, where she easily out-wrestles her competition. In a voiceover, Roxy says that wherever she goes, she's on top. Roxy says that whether it's on the streets of Laredo or in the Performance Center, she's always number one. Roxy finishes by explaining what she's going to do to the women's division...

Roxy Ramirez: "At Vengeance Day, I'm going to show the world why they call me "The Prodigy." So everyone in that locker room better take notice. Whether it's Mandy Rose, Cora Jade, or anyone else, just so you know, Roxy Ramirez is here to take over!"
GRADE:

w/VS w/
Sarray w/Io Shirai vs Kay Lee Ray w/Dakota Kai
These two (and their respective partners at ringside) competed in a tag team match last week, which KLR & Dakota Kai won after some miscommunication between Sarray & Io. This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Sarray. Sarray and KLR start the match off with a collar and elbow tie-up, in which Sarray hits KLR with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Sarray throws KLR into the corner and hits her with an enzuigiri. Sarray goes to the top rope, but before she can attempt anything, Dakota Kai starts jawing with her. That allows KLR to run up the turnbuckle and hits Sarray with a superplex! KLR starts working over Sarray's knee before hitting her with a sidewalk slam. KLR throws Sarray off the ropes and hits her with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. KLR attempts a powerslam, but Sarray reverses it into a hurricanrana! The match comes to an end when Sarray goes to the top rope, but she's distracted again by Dakota Kai. This time Io Shirai gets involved, yelling at Dakota. The two women soon begin brawling on the outside, but on the inside, KLR grabs Sarray and hits her with a running powerslam! KLR then picks up Sarray and hits her with the KLR Bomb (Gory Bomb)! Ray covers Sarray and gets the three.
WINNER: Kay Lee Ray
GRADE:

After that match is over, we cut to the parking lot, where Grayson Waller is arriving in an expensive car. Waller cockily struts out of the limo bragging about costing Johnny Gargano his match last week. Before Waller can enter the arena...

Johnny Gargano jumps him from out of nowhere!

Gargano begins unloading a barrage of punches onto Waller before he grabs a lead pipe. He tries swinging the pipe at Waller, but Waller ducks it and quickly runs back to his car. He desperately puts his keys in the ignition and quickly drives off, but not before Gargano destroys a few windows with the lead pipe. Gargano yells at Waller before we go back to the ring.
GRADE:

Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Semifinals Match:
VS
Odyssey Jones & Tankman vs Joe Gacy & Harland
Odyssey & Tankman got here by defeating Legado del Fantasma a few weeks ago, while Joe Gacy & Harland got here by defeating Jacket Time. This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Odyssey & Tankman. Tankman and Joe Gacy start the match off with Gacy extending a hand to Tankman. Tankman sees right through Gacy's facade and hits him with a big lariat. Tankman picks up Gacy and hits him with a powerslam. Tankman runs off the ropes and attempts a running splash, but Gacy rolls out of the way and hits Tankman with a senton. A bewildered Gacy starts stomping the living hell out of Tankman and only stops when the referee threatens to disqualify him. Gacy whips Tankman into the corner and attempts a running splash, but Tankman gets out of the way at the last second. Tankman hits Gacy with a belly to belly suplex before tagging out to Odyssey. Odyssey runs off the ropes and hits Gacy with a big splash. Odyssey attempts a spinebuster, but Gacy reverses it into a DDT. The match comes to an end when Gacy tags out to Harland, who goes absolutely wild on Odyssey, hitting him with a barrage of punches and slams. Harland then throws Odyssey into the corner and starts choking the living hell out of him! The referee threatens to disqualify Harland, but he just continues choking Odyssey. Eventually, the referee calls for the bell, giving the win to Odyssey and Tankman. Harland keeps the chokehold locked in however, with Gacy yelling at him to keep it in. Eventually officials run down to the ring and force Harland off, but not before the damage is done.
WINNERS: Odyssey Jones & Tankman (by DQ)
GRADE:

After the match is over, we cut to Toxic Attraction backstage. Mandy Rose says that she cannot wait to get her hands on Cora Jade on Saturday. Rose says that Cora has been such a little pain over the past few months that needs to be put in her place. Mandy then reveals something, she found out that Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne aren't going to be allowed at ringside at Vengeance Day! Mandy then finishes by saying that she's going to put Cora in her place on Saturday...

Mandy Rose: "Cora, it doesn't matter if Gigi and Jacy are at ringside on Saturday because I'm going to beat you into the dirt where you belong no matter what! And after that, the NXT women's division is truly going to be toxic!"
GRADE:

w/VS
Roderick Strong w/Malcolm Bivens and Damon Kemp vs Timothy Thatcher
Strong and the rest of Diamond Mine have been struggling recently, but they recently added their "Diamond Mine Protege" Damon Kemp. Meanwhile, Thatcher received an interesting note from Imperium last week. This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Thatcher. Thatcher and Strong start things off with a collar and elbow tie-up, in which Thatcher hits Strong with a suplex. Thatcher then picks up Strong and hits him with a double underhook suplex. Thatcher throws Strong across the ring with a biel throw before hitting him with a knee drop. Thatcher runs off the ropes, but Kemp trips him up, much to the delight of Malcolm Bivens. Thatcher then runs off the ropes again and hits Kemp with a baseball slide! Strong takes advantage of these shenanigans by hitting Thatcher with a high knee. Strong throws Thatcher into the corner and hits him with a knife edge chop before hitting him with an enzuigiri. Strong picks up Thatcher and hits him with a backbreaker before hitting him with a knee drop. The match comes to an end when Strong tries hitting Thatcher with a high knee, but Thatches catches him and hits him with a powerbomb! Thatcher goes to lock in a Fujiwara Armbar, but he's distracted by Malcolm Bivens! Thatcher's had enough, so he grabs Bivens and throws him in the ring! Before Thatcher can do anything, Strong sneaks up from behind him and rolls him up for the three! Diamond Mine quickly disperses as Thatcher argues with the referee.
WINNER: Roderick Strong
GRADE:

After the match is over, we cut to Cameron Grimes backstage. Grimes says he's excited to challenge Carmelo Hayes for the NXT North American Championship at Vengeance Day. Grimes says he's been watching Melo run his mouth the past few weeks and he cannot wait to shut his big mouth up. Grimes then lays out his plan for 2022...

Cameron Grimes: "At Vengeance Day, I'm going to win the NXT North American Championship and then I might even challenge for the NXT Championship! Why? Because 2022 is the year Cameron Grimes goes to the moon!"
GRADE:

VS
Pete Dunne vs WALTER
WALTER has been running through the competition since he arrived in NXT last month, while Dunne has been a bit busy on RAW, recently challenging WWE US Champion Damian Priest to a match at Elimination Chamber on Sunday! This match is a great match and the crowd is solidly behind Dunne. Dunne starts the match off by trying to hit WALTER with a flying forearm smash, but WALTER hits him with a knife edge chop in mid-air! WALTER picks up Dunne and hits him with a military press slam. WALTER throws Dunne off the ropes and hits him with a big boot. WALTER picks up Dunne and attempts a powerslam, but Dunne wiggles out of it and hits WALTER with an enzuigiri. Dunne throws WALTER off the ropes and hits him with a spinning heel kick. Dunne picks up WALTER and attempts the Bitter End, but WALTER reverses it into a sidewalk slam. WALTER throws Dunne into the corner and hits him with a knife edge chop. WALTER picks up Dunne and attempts the Imperium Bomb, *but Dunne reverses it into a facebuster. Dunne runs off the ropes and hits WALTER with a shotgun dropkick. Dunne picks up WALTER and hits him with a northern lights suplex. The match comes to an end when Dunne attempts the Bitter End, but WALTER reverses it into a chokeslam! WALTER then picks up Dunne and hits him with the Imperium Bomb! WALTER covers Dunne and gets the three.
WINNER: WALTER
GRADE:

After our final commercial break of the evening, we cut back to the ring, where the contract signing between Bron Breakker & Samoa Joe is about to take place. Wade Barrett is standing in the ring. Barrett gives some background on the upcoming match between Joe & Bron before introducing the two competitors. The two individually make their way down to the ring before sharing a tense staredown. The two then sign the contract, but before Barrett can close the book on it, Joe grabs his microphone and begins to talk. Joe tells Bron to enjoy these last few days as NXT Champion, because it's the last time he's ever going to hold it. Joe says he's held the NXT Championship three times already and he's more than ready to hold it a fourth time. Joe explains what's going to happen to Bron on Saturday...

Samoa Joe: "Bron, after I'm done giving you the beating of a lifetime on Saturday, you're going to be sharing a hospital room with your daddy!"

Joe goes to say something else, but Bron snatches the microphone from his hand! Bron says he speaks for everyone watching right now when he tells Joe to shut the hell up! Bron says he hears Joe talking all this crap about what he's going to do, but he can never back it up! Bron calls Joe a guy who failed so badly at being a wrestler he had to go into commentating, and he failed that so badly he had to go back to being a wrestler! Bron then explains to Joe the fundamental flaw in his plan...

Bron Breakker: "Joe, do you want to know why I know you'll never hold this championship belt ever again? Because even if you beat me, I know you'll just get injured again and run away to your gamer cave for half a year!"

Joe takes offense to that and tries to take a swing at Bron, but Bron catches him and hits him with a belly to belly suplex through the table! Bron grabs the NXT Championship and stands tall as NXT comes to a close.

Annoyed I missed a bulk of the Dusty Rhodes tourney. But Vengeance Day looks very promising

Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Finals Match:

Odyssey Jones & Tankman vs The Acclaimed

Comments: These 2 teams have absolutely been booked the strongest but I think Acclaimed winning gives them something to hold over other tag teams.

Crowbar Death Match:

Pete Dunne vs Tony D'Angelo

Comments: Hopefully Pete can go on to better and brighter things and Tony can go wherever D'Angelo goes

NXT North American Championship Match:

Carmelo Hayes © vs Cameron Grimes

Comments: Hayes is a new ish champion and don't see him losing to Grimes who imo has had his time in the midcard shine

NXT Women's Championship Match:

Mandy Rose © vs Cora Jade

Comments: Rose is a established name and while Cora has been getting built she just lacks character and name value that Mandy has

No Disqualifications Match:

Johnny Gargano vs Grayson Waller

Comments: This is still NXT 2.0 so Waller probably and should win here especially after his big win over AJ.

NXT Championship Match:

Bron Breakker © vs Samoa Joe

Comments: Bron is similarly a new champ and don't see him losing to Joe to retred old ground of heel NXT champ Joe. Joe is a strong name to legitimize Breakker's reign.

Tankman makes his way down to the ring, grabs a microphone, and says he has some bad news. Tankman says that due to the heinous actions of Harland & Joe Gacy on NXT on Tuesday, Odyssey Jones can't compete tonight.

This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Tankman. Max Bowens and Tankman start the match off with Bowens attempting a flying forearm smash. However, Tankman catches him and hits Bowens with a body slam. Tankman runs off the ropes and hits Bowens with a senton. Tankman throws Bowens into the corner and hits him with a big body splash. Tankman attempts a military press slam, but Bowens rakes Tankman in the eyes and takes him down with an enzuigiri. Bowens tags out to Caster and the two men hit Tankman with a double dropkick. Caster throws Tankman into the corner and hits him with a high knee before hitting him with a bulldog. Caster goes to the top rope and attempts a diving double axe handle, but Tankman catches him and hits him with a spinebuster. Tankman throws Caster off the ropes and hits him with a lariat that turns Caster inside-out! Tankman attempts a running powerslam, but Caster wiggles out of it and sends Tankman into the corner, where Bowens hits him with a pair of brass knuckles!

Now these two finally settle their differences in a Crowbar Death Match. The rules of this match are simple, it's essentially just a street fight with crowbars as the only weapon! This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Dunne. Dunne and D'Angelo start the match off, already with crowbars in hand, with a bit of a crowbar duel, with neither man getting any major blows in. Eventually, Dunne is able to strike the crowbar out of D'Angelo's hands and starts wailing on him with his own! D'Angelo eventually stops the assault by kicking Dunne below the belt. D'Angelo throws Dunne out of the ring and into the ring steps before grabbing a crowbar. D'Angelo swings at Dunne, but Dunne rolls out of the way at the last second and the only thing D'Angelo hits is the turnbuckle! Dunne then hits D'Angelo with a big forearm smash before sending him head-first into the ring barricade. Dunne throws D'Angelo back in the ring and tries hitting him with the Bitter End, but D'Angelo reverses it into a neckbreaker. D'Angelo hits Dunne with a German suplex before hitting him with a big knee drop. D'Angelo attempts a powerslam, but Dunne reverses it into a reverse DDT. The match comes to an end when Dunne attempts the Bitter End, but D'Angelo gets out of it by hitting Dunne below the belt again! D'Angelo then grabs a crowbar and cracks it right over Dunne's head! D'Angelo then picks up Dunne and hits him with the Silencer before covering him and getting the three.

Knight says that he's been doing some thinking about his place in NXT 2.0. Knight says he's seen his friends either get called up to the big time or just cut bait, while he's just sitting in the locker room week after week doing nothing. Knight says that's going to change starting Tuesday... LA Knight: "Well no more! At NXT on Tuesday, I'm calling my shot. I'm issuing an open challenge to anyone on the NXT or WWE roster to face the man of the hour, the man with the power, the undisputed king of charisma, LA Knight!"

That's earned the ire of Carmelo Hayes, who has called Grimes a bum and has promised to send Grimes back down to earth! This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Grimes. Grimes and Melo start the match off with a collar and elbow tie-up, in which Grimes hits Melo with a snap suplex. Grimes throws Melo into the corner and hits him with a knife edge chop. Grimes tries hitting Melo with a second-rope knee drop, but Trick Williams trips him up! Melo takes advantage of this and hits Grimes with a German suplex. Melo throws Grimes into the corner and hits him with an enzuigiri. Melo then goes to the top rope and attempts a diving leg drop, but Grimes rolls out of the way at the last second. Grimes then hits Melo with a surprise Cave-In! Grimes goes for the cover, but Trick Williams puts Melo's foot on the bottom rope just before the referee can count the three. Melo rolls outside to recover, but Grimes runs off the ropes and hits him with a suicide dive that also takes out Trick! The match comes to an end when Grimes throws Melo back in the ring and attempts the Cave-In, but Melo catches him and hits him with a dragon suplex! Melo then goes to the top rope and hits Grimes with the Diving Leg Drop! Melo covers Grimes and gets the three.

Gargano then hits Waller with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Gargano then tries throwing Waller into the corner, but Waller reverses it and hits Gargano with a belly to belly suplex. Waller then whips Gargano into the corner, who flips over the turnbuckle (a la Ric Flair) and stumbles to the outside. Waller runs off the ropes and attempts a suicide dive, but Gargano catches him and hits him with a belly to belly suplex! Gargano then lifts up the mats on the ringside area and tries hitting Waller with a DDT on the concrete, but Waller manages to escape. Waller tries getting away from Gargano, but Gargano catches up to him and sends him crashing into the ring barricade! Gargano reaches under the ring and grabs a table. Gargano throws the table in the ring, sets it up, and tries sending Waller through it with a suplex, but Waller wiggles out of it and hits Gargano with a neckbreaker. The match comes to an end when Waller tries hitting Gargano with the 21st Century Stunner, but Gargano catches him and sends him through the table with a back suplex!

The two men then pick Gargano up and hit him with an assisted Death Valley Driver on the concrete! They throw Gargano back in the ring and Waller slides his way onto him and gets the three.

NXT 2.0- February 22nd, 2022

Live From: Orlando, Florida

Commentary Team: Vic Joseph & Wade Barrett

Welcome everyone to another exciting episode of NXT 2.0! We start off with a video recapping what happened at Vengeance Day last Saturday, which finished with Bron Breakker retaining the NXT Championship against Samoa Joe. We then cut back to the arena, where...

Grayson Waller, Ortiz, & Santana make their way down to the ring!

Waller grabs a microphone as the crowd chants "WALLER'S A SCUMBAG!" Waller basks in the jeers before finally getting on to what he was about to say. Waller says that on Saturday, he killed the legend of "Johnny Wrestling" once and for all. Waller says he took Gargano to hell and back, but in the end, the "Grayson Waller Effect" trumped "Johnny Wrestling!" Waller says he knows what his detractors are going to say, that he only won because of his two associates. Waller says they're dead wrong! Waller then introduces his new associates...

Grayson Waller: "These two men right here, Ortiz & Santana. These two have been all around the world, kicking ass and taking names. When my match with Gargano was made, I realized I needed a bit of an insurance policy. These two were my insurance policy and damn did it pay off!"

Waller says he's done with Gargano, his focus is now entirely on Bron Breakker and winning the NXT Championship! Waller finishes by saying that there is nobody in NXT that came stop him, Ortiz, & Santana!
GRADE:

NXT Tag Team Championship Match:
VS
Imperium © vs Odyssey Jones & Tankman
Odyssey & Tankman won the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, defeating The Acclaimed in the finals at Vengeance Day. Shortly thereafter, they challenged Imperium to an NXT Tag Team Championship match, which was accepted! This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Odyssey & Tankman. Odyssey & Marcel Barthel start the match off with Odyssey taking Barthel down with a lariat. Odyssey throws Barthel into the corner and hits him with a knife edge chop. He then attempts a big body splash, but Barthel rolls out of the way at the last second and hits Odyssey with an enzuigiri. Barthel tags out to Fabian Aichner and the two hit Odyssey with a double European uppercut before Aichner starts going after Odyssey's knee. Aichner locks Odyssey in a kneebar, but Odyssey is eventually able to make it to the ropes. Aichner tries locking it in again, but Odyssey kicks him away and tags out to Tankman. Tankman blasts Aichner with a big boot before hitting him with a senton. Tankman throws Aichner off the ropes and hits him with a spinebuster. The match comes to an end when Tankman attempts the Tankbomb, but Aichner reverses it into a hurricanrana. Aichner tags out to Barthel, while Tankman tags out to Odyssey. Barthel ducks a lariat from Odyssey, jumps off the middle rope, and attempts a spinning European uppercut, but Odyssey catches him and hits him with the Odyssey Avalanche! Odyssey covers Barthel and gets the three! Odyssey Jones & Tankman are your new NXT Tag Team Champions!
WINNERS: Odyssey Jones & Tankman
GRADE:

After a quick commercial break, we cut backstage where Tyler Bate is located. Bate says that he's glad to be back in NXT after coming up short in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic a few weeks ago. Bate says while his partner Trent Seven may not be here anymore, he's ready to show the NXT universe what he's made of...

Tyler Bate: "I'm a former NXT United Kingdom Champion, I held that for over 100 days! I've got what it takes to make it here in NXT and hey, maybe even go after that NXT North American Championship!"

With that Bate leaves and makes his entrance for his upcoming match.
GRADE:

VS
Tyler Bate vs Local Talent
Bate was last seen on NXT a few weeks ago participating in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, losing to The Acclaimed with his tag team partner Trent Seven. Now Seven is back in England and Bate is out to make it on his own in the states. This match is nothing more than a squash match that Bate completely dominates. Bates eventually finishes off this local talent in just under five minutes after he hits him with the Tyler Driver '97 (Sitout Double Underhook Powerbomb).
WINNER: Tyler Bate
GRADE:

After the match is over, Bate celebrates his victory until...

Carmelo Hayes attacks!

Hayes beats the living hell out of Tyler Bate, throwing him around the ringside area and into the ring steps. He then tells Trick Williams to prop Bate up. Melo gets in Bates's face, tells him that he's never going to get the NXT North American Championship, and then hits him with the North American Championship! Melo stands tall as we go to commercials.
GRADE:

After a commercial break, we cut to the backstage area, where Timothy Thatcher is being interviewed. Thatcher is asked about what's going on between him and Imperium, specifically what happened a few weeks ago when they handed him a note. Thatcher says that was a big misunderstanding...

Timothy Thatcher: "What WALTER gave to me a few weeks ago was an invitation to join Imperium. Now I haven't answered that invitation yet, but I'm declining it right now. I can make Thatch-as-Thatch-can the dominant force in NXT without two guys who just lost the NXT Tag Team Championships and some Austrian fellow holding me back!"

Thatcher then finishes by saying that he's going to go out there tonight and beat Carmelo Hayes and maybe after that, go after the NXT Championship!
GRADE:

Non-Title Match
w/VS
Carmelo Hayes w/Trick Williams vs Timothy Thatcher
Melo was last seen (before his beatdown on Tyler Bate) at Vengeance Day, where he successfully retained the NXT North American Championship over Cameron Grimes. Meanwhile, Thatcher was last seen on NXT a few weeks ago in a losing effort against Roderick Strong. This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Thatcher. Melo, who just stayed in the ring after beating the hell out of Bate, starts the match off by hitting Thatcher with a flying forearm smash. Melo throws Thatcher off the ropes and hits him with a back body drop. Melo attempts a sidewalk slam, but Thatcher reverses it into a back suplex.

After the match is over, we cut to Joe Gacy & Harland backstage. Gacy says that he's heard a lot of people ask about what Harland did to Odyssey Jones & Tankman last week and he would like to personally apologize.

After a quick commercial break, LA Knight makes his way down to the ring for the main event. Knight grabs a microphone and says that it's time for the LA Knight open challenge! Knight says he's opened this challenge up to anyone from NXT, WWE, or the indy circuit, so who has the cajones to challenge the undisputed king of charisma, LA Knight? After a pregnant pause...

IT'S DOLPH ZIGGLER!

Dolph grabs a microphone as the crowd chants "HOLY SH*T!" Dolph tells the crowd to shut the hell up, because they are in the presence of a real superstar! Dolph says he's accepted LA Knight's open challenge to show the NXT Universe what a real superstar looks like, not these frauds like LA Knight and Bron Breakker! Ziggler then finishes by saying that he's about to show NXT why he's the Show (pause) Off! Before LA Knight can even react, Ziggler hits him with the microphone! Ziggler starts unloading a barrage of punches onto him before the referee eventually forces him off. The ref asks LA Knight if he can compete and he tells the ref to ring the damn bell!

VS
LA Knight vs Dolph Ziggler
This is Dolph Ziggler's first appearance on NXT since July 2013, when he stopped by during his World Heavyweight Championship run to face a young Alexander Rusev in a winning effort. Nearly 10 years later, he faces someone more similar to him in LA Knight. This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Knight. Ziggler starts the match by continuing his pre-match beatdown on Knight, hitting him with a barrage of kicks. Knight eventually fires back by hitting him with a stiff forearm smash. Knight throws Ziggler sternum-first into the corner and hits him with a German suplex. Knight picks up Ziggler and hits him with a powerslam. Knight attempts another powerslam, but Ziggler rakes his eyes and hits him with a beautiful dropkick.

Knight hits Ziggler with a knee drop before picking him up and hitting him with a military press slam. Knight throws Ziggler into the corner and hits him with 10 punches before hitting him with a scoop slam. Knight throws Ziggler off the ropes and hits him with a big back body drop. Knight goes to the second rope and attempts a diving knee drop, but Ziggler rolls out of the way at the last second. The match comes to an end when Ziggler hits Knight with a big superkick! Ziggler then waits for Knight to get back up and hits him with the Zig-Zag! Ziggler covers Knight and gets the three.
WINNER: Dolph Ziggler
GRADE:

After the match is over, Dolph Ziggler grabs a microphone. Dolph says what he did in the ring was just a fraction of what he could do on any given night. Dolph says he knows he's only been here for about 20 minutes, but he thinks he deserves a shot at the NXT Championship because he is that damn good! Before Dolph can continue...

Bron Breakker appears on the entrance ramp with a microphone!

Bron says he saw Dolph Ziggler's match and he was pretty impressed. Bron says he was a bit shocked Dolph could still go in the ring considering he's been stuck teaming on Main Event for the past year. Dolph laughs that off saying that Bron's way in over his head. Dolph says he's a former World Heavyweight Champion, which if Bron can recall, is something his daddy was never able to do! Dolph says that he wants a shot at the NXT Championship not because he needs it, but because it deserves better than being held by a third-rate Steiner! Bron laughs and tells Dolph that this is why his stand-up career never took off. Bron finishes by saying that he'll accept Dolph's challenge...

Bron Breakker: "I'll accept your challenge Dolph, in two weeks it's going to be Bron Breakker vs Dolph Ziggler for the NXT Championship! And don't worry, after I'm done with you, I'll send you back to the indies with your old cheerleading squad!"

With that, Bron and Dolph stare each down as NXT comes to a close.

Loving the dynasty so far. I was just wondering if off game you’re running WWE too or just NXT.

I'm running both! Obviously I don't put as much effort into the main roster booking as I do with NXT, but it makes running NXT a lot easier than having the AI run the main roster.

Prediction Contest:

This Show/Overall:

1) KyTeran- 4 Pts.

1) legendaryhorseman- 4 Pts.

3) SonOfSharknado- 3 Pts.
