NXT results: Did Bayley spoil Nia’s NXT
sendoff?
Several Superstars are leaving NXT
behind for Raw and SmackDown Live
following the WWE Draft, including Nia
Jax. But before the towering Nia could
leave, Bayley wanted one last chance
at payback. Did Bayley ruin Nia’s
farewell?
NXT Champion Samoa Joe def. Rhyno
(Non-Title Match)
Both NXT Champion Samoa Joe and
Rhyno deliver their offense with the
same brute force that you would
expect from near-300 pound athletes.
Neither of these men will be confused
with any of the competitors in WWE
Network’s Cruiserweight Classic, as
both Superstars are known to throw
their weight around inside the squared
circle. So, when these rivals went
head-to-head, it was bound to be a
hard-hitting collision.
Despite standing across the ring from a
very determined Man Beast, the
titleholder showed no reluctance to
engage in a fight. Ultimately, Joe
prevented Rhyno from ever delivering
his devastating Gore finisher, as the
champion locked in the Coquina Clutch
for the submission victory.
The Authors of Pain def. American
Alpha
Before American Alpha could even
make it to the ring, The Authors of
Pain blindsided the tag team,
unleashing a vicious assault. The
mysterious monsters then strode to
the squared circle with WWE Hall of
Famer Paul Ellering as General
Manager William Regal and officials
checked in on Jason Jordan & Chad
Gable.
Fearlessly, but perhaps recklessly, the
former NXT Tag Team Champions got
back up and charged their monstrous
rivals, sending them from the ring.
Despite the setback, a calm and
collected Ellering ordered his
behemoths back into the squared
circle as the referee rang the bell to
finally start the match.
Amid their heated battle, Jordan &
Gable somehow managed to fight their
way back, suplexing their larger foes
around the ring. Unfortunately for the
athletic duo, their momentum was
forcefully shut down after The
Authors of Pain delivered a vicious
clothesline for the victory. With
American Alpha getting drafted to
SmackDown Live Tuesday night in the
2016 WWE Draft, it seems their
impressive NXT run has ended in
defeat.
Austin Aries def. Patrick Clark
Patrick Clark displayed some of the
athleticism that he showed off during
WWE Tough Enough, but ultimately
the young competitor was
overwhelmed by a focused and
determined Austin Aries. “The
Greatest Man That Ever Lived” locked
in the Last Chancery, forcing his
opponent to tap out, claiming victory in
impressive fashion.
After the match, No Way Jose rushed
the ring looking for retribution against
Aries for attacking him last month.
The spirited Superstar laid into Aries,
sending him scurrying through the
NXT Universe and out of sight.
Bayley def. Nia Jax
Bayley didn’t hesitate to deliver a fiery
attack against Nia Jax. However, the
powerful Jax didn’t hesitate to respond
with a crushing offensive display. Jax
—who was drafted to Raw Tuesday
night — used her size and strength
advantage to overpower the former
NXT Women’s Champion with one
move after another.
Bayley eventually fought her way
back after Jax missed a spear and went
straight into the steel steps at ringside.
The commanding competitor would
not be kept down for long, however, as
she responded with a huge
Jackhammer on an embattled Bayley.
The explosive maneuver, shockingly,
did not keep the resourceful Bayley
down for the three-count. Jax set up
Bayley for her signature leg drop only
to decide otherwise and drag the fallen
competitor in position to hit a
maneuver, possibly her trademark leg
drop, from the second rope. Instead,
Bayley rose up to her feet, grabbed Jax
in the Bayley-to-Belly Suplex and hit
the finishing move from the second
rope for the win.
