NXT RE-CAP

The Rising Sun hits and out comes The King of Strongstyle Shinsuke Nakamura. YEAOH! The crowd goes wild as the charismatic flamboyant superstar heads to the ring to begin NXT.

Match 1: Shinsuke Nakamura vs Goldust

Nakamura sets Goldust up in the corner and hits the running knee lift. Nakamura heads to the corner, does his signature corner set up taunt and hits the Bomaya for the victory.

Match 2: American Alpha (Tag Team Champions) vs Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady

The tag team champions make their way to the ring looking confident as ever. Enzo & Cass last week proclaimed their stake into the Tag Team Titles when they were Interrupted by The Dudley Boyz. Enzo and Cass made an announcement on WWE.com that they were going to get revenge on The Dudleys and have issued a challenge to them for NXT next week, it still remains to be seen what the Dudleys will say.

Gable and Enzo start the match off with fast paced offense. Gable gets the upper hand and makes the tag to Jordan. Jordan delivers multiple various suplexes to Enzo who eventually makes a tag to Cassady. Cassady is rolling on offense when out of nowhere Bubba Ray and Devon hit a 3D on Cassady. Devon grabs a mic. “You want to challenge US!! Well there is your answer….you got us!! TESTTIFFYYYY”.

Match 3: Paige vs Alicia Fox

In a one sided womens match, it was Paige who demonstrated the abilities of why she should be the next #1 contender for the NXT Womens championship. This match did not last long, and it was Paige who picked up the victory after locking in the PTO.

After the match we see another cryptic display and words similar to last week….

In One Week…the landscape of NXT Changes. Forget everything you think you know. Because NXT….. IT will NEVER be the same.

We’ve seen Alberto Del Rio have his issues since returning to WWE with Hideo Itami. Alberto Del Rio took out weeks of built up frustration out on Itami this match and we saw several close finishes. Del Rio did a very outstanding job this match working on the left arm and shoulder of Itami and it later paid off as Itami attempted a GTS, however did not have the strength to keep Del Rio up. Del Rio countered into an arm bar which eventually led to Itami to tap for Alberto Del Rio to pick up his first victory since returning to WWE.

Match 4: The Dudley Boyz vs Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady

The Realest guys head to the ring with Enzo doing his routine schtick on the mic. Cassady begins to talk when the Dudley Boyz interrupt and head to the ring in a very bad mood. The Dudley Boyz dominated Enzo the entire match, and Big Cass never got into the ring. Whenever there was a close tag, a Dudley always made a distraction or pulled Cass off the apron. The Dudley Boyz hit the 3D on Enzo for the win.

Match 5: Sami Zayn vs Rob Van Dam

Easily the match of the night. The Crowd was hot throughout this entire match. RVD had the advantage early on and received “You still got it” chants.

RVD rolled to the outside when Zayn hit his signature diving DDT through the turnbuckle. RVD crawled back into the ring at a count of 8. Zayn went for the Heluva kick which was countered into a roll up for another count of 2.
