Orlando, FL – Full Sail University

Report via Andrew Twiss and PWInsider.com


This report is a little less clear than most on what will air and when as it was not clear to the live audience. WWE NXT only filmed intros for two episodes, but there were a lot of matches. Several were probably Dark Matches to fill out the show for the live crowd. Here is the card in the order it was taped. We’ll have to see what makes it to air.


Dark Match: Kona Reeves def. Raul Mendoza

Dark Match (?): North American Championship: Adam Cole (c) def. Lio Rush


Week 1 – June 6

In-Ring: Shayna Baszler, Nikki Cross – Shayna Baszler says she showed the entire locker room, through Dakota Kai, a hard dose of reality. She says there’s always one person who doesn’t get the message, and that’s Nikki Cross. Nikki comes out to confront Shayna. Shayna keeps trying to intimidate Nikki and threatens to put her to sleep. Nikki grabs the mic and says “Do it” over and over. They brawl with Nikki running Shayna off.

TM61 def. two local talents – Post match: TM61 says it’s all about winning now and all of the teams in NXT should kneel before them and call them The Mighty.

In-Ring: Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano – Tommaso Ciampa wants to talk about last week. Johnny Gargano came out and interrupted a match because it always has to be about Johnny. He says Johnny would do anything to cover up for nearly crippling his wife. Ciampa says he was merely defending himself. Ciampa says it’s all on Johnny. He tells Johnny not to show up. Johnny Gargano charges out, shaking off security trying to hold him back. He and Ciampa brawl all over the arena with Johnny diving from bleachers. Ciampa eventually gets the upper hand and locks Johnny in the Gargano Escape. Ciampa taunts Johnny and leaves. Gargano gets up and charges Ciampa, ramming him into the tron. Ciampa is busted open. Johnny wipes his hands on the blood on the ground and wipes it on his face. Gargano locks the Gargano Escape before leaving.
