Pyro goes off all throughout the arena and the camera zooms around, showing numerous fans all showing their support for the return of NXT, We then go ringside where Corey Graves and Tom Phillips are standing by.
Tom Phillips: Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to NXT! I'm Tom Phillips and with me is my broadcast partner, former International Champion, Corey Graves.
Corey Graves: It's the final show before No Mercy and I can't wait.
Tom Phillips: Luckily we'll have some good matches to hold us over until then like the debuting Trevor Lee going up against the oldest man on the roster but also the toughest, Finlay.
Corey Graves: I don't know much about Trevor Lee but if he's not able to beat and aging Finlay, I don't have high hopes for his career.
Tom Phillips: And in an almost curel joke, EC3 has forced Steve Blackman and Dolph Ziggler to be partners this week against their respective opponents at No Mercy.
Corey Graves: That match is full of combustible elements and I have a feeling something big is going to happen during that match.
Tom Phillips: Speaking of big, Spike Dudley got a huge victory over the International Champion Kevin Steen last week. This week he goes up against the number one contender to Kevin Steen, Daniel Bryan.
Corey Graves: Last week was a fluke, we all saw it. Kevin let his guard down for one second but don't think we'll see a miracle happen twice in two weeks.
Tom Phillips: But first we got tag team action to kick off NXT. Tony, over to you!
The crowd responds with a chorus of boos for the inevitable arrival of Bulletproof. Joey Ryan & Finn Balor step through the curtains with huge smirks on their face, after their assault last week.
Tony Chimel: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, Joey Ryan and Finn Balor, they are...Bulletproof!
The crowd shouts obscenities at both members of the club as they make their way down the ramp & slide into the ring to wait for their opponents.
Big E: DON'T YOU DARE BE SOURRRRRRRRR! CLAP FOR YOUR FUTURE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS AND FEEL THE POWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
IT'S A NEW DAY YES IT IS!!!
The crowd decide to cheer at this point in time as Big E and Xavier Woods, accompanied by Kofi Kingston charge out onto the stage. All three members of the New Day begin to dance around on top of the stage before heading down the ramp, clapping all the while.
Tony Chimel: And their opponents, being accompanied to the ring by Xavier Woods, Big E and Kofi Kingston, The New Day!
Big E and Kofi slide into the ring but right away, Balor and Ryan go on the attack. They stomp on the New Day before they can even fully get into the ring. Joey picks up Kofi and throws him out of the ring. Xavier tries to help Kofi get back to his feet but Balor hits the ropes and goes flying out with a somersault, taking out both Kofi and Xavier and landing on his feet. With Joey and Big E being the only two in the ring, the ref goes ahead and calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
Joey picks up Big E and irish whips him into the corner. Ryan runs at him but Big E gets and elbow up. Joey Stumble backwards and Big E charges out of the corner with the running body block. Finn springboards into the ring to stop Big E from gaining momentum but He jumps into his waiting arms and Big E throws him overhead with the belly to belly suplex!
Tom Phillips: I don't think Bulletproof was expecting this when they blindsided the New Day!
Corey Graves: He caught them off guard but this won't last.
Big E is feeling it and the crowd gets behind him but he turns right into a spear from Joey Ryan. The sleazy one stays on him, repeatedly punching him in the skull. Kofi slides into the ring to help out his parnter but Finn comes out of nowhere and takes him down with the Slingblade! Balor then kicks him out of the ring while Joey picks up Big E. Joey Tells Balor to go up top but first, he plants Big E into the mat with the pedigree! He turns E over and then Balor jumps off with the Coup de Grace! Joey then coves him nonchalantly for the pin.

Tony Chimel: Here are your winners, Joey Ryan and Finn Balor, Bulletproof!
Bulletproof celebrates in the ring while the New Day retreats to the back and the live feed goes elsewhere.
Fading in from the prior blackness, thus appears the large figure of Rhino, standing front and center, in front of the camera! He rolls his greasy locks back, before begining to speak into the camera.
Rhino: "To set the scene, I'm just five nights away from facing Steve Blackman in a Last Man Standing Match. I hate to beat everyone over the head with it, but I just can't help myself. I can't fucking wait to absolutely pummel that piece of shit to the canvas. But, lets talk about tonight, right? Lets talk about Dolph Ziggler; lets talk about how this sorry, sack of bleach-blonde dog shit, that doesn't have a chance in hell against me!"
Rhino pivots his mass, where his chest meets the camera-view from a horizontal standpoint. Thus, he see the full mass of Rhino.
Rhino: "It shouldn't be a surprise, really. I've just got more drive, than the man. He likes to spin himself off, as some kind of blue-collar ring technician, who works his hardest to put on a good show. However, he can never get the job done. So, why's that you ask? Just why can't Dolph be the greatest wrestler to have ever lived? The spoilers are everywhere, Ladies and Gentlemen. Your intercontinental Champion, Dolph Ziggler, just plain sucks. He's a lonely little surfboard that sits on the beach, but nobody wants to use him, because the bottom line is that he sinks under pressure! So, get ready for high-tide, "Show Off". Because, you're going to drown in your own blood after I Gore you, right through your abdomen!"
Rhino decisively snarls to the camera, and thus signals the end of his promo. Likewise, Nitro rolls on...
The titantron switches from the UWF NXT graphic to a live feed from backstage. Kevin Steen, The UWF International Champion, is shown walking down the hallway. As usual, he looks agitated, even annoyed, but at what it in particular, it isn't clear. His path is cut when suddenly...
Excuse me! Kevin! Kevin Steen! A quick interview please!
The champ turns to see some suit-and-tie shoving a microphone in his face. Kevin slaps it down.
Steen: Who the hell are you? You know what, it doesn't matter. Where's Renee?
She said Dave Meltzer told her that she wasn't allowed...
Steen: Shut up. You know what, it doesn't matter. Neither do you. You wanna know what I have to say? You want me to tell these people something? Fine.
Last week I lost. Spike Dudley rolled me up and pinned me right in the middle of my ring. Spike Dudley. Christ. Spike Dudley. The guy has like ten singles wins in his career and now I'm one of them. Yeah, laugh it up. Rub it in. Throw it in my face. I hear all those fans talking about it. I see them posting all over my twitter. Well bravo. Good for you. I'm still here, still the champ, changing the sport of professional wrestling forever and you're all just fat losers sitting in your mom's basements.
And for all those guys in the locker room looking at me, thinking I'm slipping or losing touch... think again. This wasn't Spike Dudley beating Kevin Steen, this was Kevin Steen beating Kevin Steen. I've never lost to the same man twice, but I've beat myself a few times now. Whether it was letting my guard down long enough for guys like Dean Ambrose or Vince McMahon to screw me over or for Mick Foley to attack me and steal my title... yeah, sometimes I get so used to beating all these guys up that I relax a bit too much. And then I drop one. But it's rare. Real rare. Less than once in a blue moon.
I had that little piece of trash beat. I took my time. I stalled. I enjoyed it too much. I had him pinned and let up. Was it a good move? Clearly not, but he needed to be taught a lesson. Next time I face him, I'll make sure he gets the rest of it, that's a god damn guarantee. You think he's better than me? Cause of that? Let me know when he's accomplished what I have in the time I have. Let me know when he's beat the caliber of talent that I have.
So yeah, I make mistakes. I'm human. Even me. But guess what? I always learn from it. I always grow. I always evolve. Dean beat me, I retired him. I lost the Royal Rumble then came back to crush a series of former champs before winning the International Championship at Wrestlemania in the match of the night anyway. So Spike got a pin. Now I get better. I'm sharper. Stronger. Angrier. Spike might not get his yet, but his time will come. First off, I've got Daniel Bryan. He gets to suffer because of it.
Well, not just because of that. I've got a thousand reasons to rip that smug little prick to shreds, but it doesn't hurt to add another. What happened last week was just a glimpse of what's in store at No Mercy. Daniel thinks he's tough cause he sidelined Dave Metlzer. Wow. Good for you buddy. You beat up a fifty year old journalist. I flattened you with a single move. There's really no reason to suspect that our title match lasts longer than a minute. I can end it any time I want.
Bryan... if you're out there listening... I took you out at the Rumble. You've got a shitty win over me that was handed to you by AJ Lee. Any decent official would have called off that match right then and there. And that was Nitro. This is NXT. This is my show. There's a higher standard now. You won't get away with something like that here. You've got no crutch to lean on, nothing to help you beat me.
I know you're a man who loves to make excuses, and that's always been the most humiliating thing about you. So how about I crack your jaw like you did to Dave so you couldn't whine if you wanted to? I think that would be best for everybody. Make no mistake about it buddy, this one is a forgone conclusion. You've got your history and your hollow threats. I've got a looooooooooong resume with names of guys I've destroyed. Let's see how they match up. There isn't a thing about you that intimidates me. I'm not jealous. I'm not scared. I have everything you want, and seeing as it's been so long since you had a title like this, I'd say you're the desperate one. You need me. You want what I got and it'll make me so happy to deny you that. This is my title, and it will be for a long time to come.
You're an asshole. You admit it. Everyone knows it. But those fans love you regardless. I'm going to show them how wrong they are, too. I'm gonna rip you apart and throw the pieces around the arena, let them see the blood on their hands. I want the depth of their ignorance to set in. I want them to know how asinine it was to puts their hopes in a selfish, childish has-been. I want to see the hope slip out of their eyes while the consciousness leaves yours.
Team Meltzer owns NXT. We're making wrestling better. There will be consequences.
Steen glares down at the man interviewing him.
We're done here.
The champ pushes him aside and storms off. NXT continues elsewhere.
Finlay's already in the ring, and is wielding his Shillelagh. He holds it up high above his head, and receives a positive response from the crowd.
As the pop song "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift begins to play throughout the arena, the fans get on their feet trying to get the best view possible to see who's theme Taylor Swift was singing. Once the song hit it's chorus, none other than Trevor Lee burst through the curtain. The fans that know who he is begin to cheer, but the ones who don't stay silent as Trevor walks down to the ring with an arrogant smile on his face.
Further so, Trevor gets in the ring, with the same previously-described arrogant swagger to his walk. Likewise, he begins to circle Finlay, as the ref' calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Finlay and Trevor Lee both begin to circle each other, but as Finlay attempts to comply with a lock-up, Trevor kicks Finlay with a low-kick to the gut. Trevor then begins to beat down Finlay with clubb-ish, standing double-axe handles to press on the offense, against Finlay. FInlay pushes Trevor against the ropes to get some breathing room, but Trevor turns around before he hits the ropes, and executes a springboard missle dropkick to Finlay. Trevor dives for the cover...
1...
But, its only a one count from Finlay!
As Finlay tries to rise, Trevor quickly gets Finlay into a front-facelock, but it's quickly countered with an overhead backdrop from Finlay! However, Trevor's quick to rise to his feet for a clothesline, but Finlay ducks under the attempt, and lifts him up into a standing fireman's carry positon! Finlay then rolls through with a Rolling Fireman's Carry! Finlay turns back around for the cover.
1...
Surprisingly, it's only a one count against Trevor Lee!
Tom Phillips: "Oh, wow."
Corey Graves: "He's tenacious. I'll give him that much."
Finlay and Trevor Lee both rise to their feet, at the same time. However, Trevor runs past Finlay for the ropes, as he's left disoriented to turn around for a failed attempt at a wild-clothesline. Trevor Lee then runs past Finlay's attempted clothesline, and rebounds against the other set of ropes, and connects with a running double-knee smash to the jaw of Finlay! Finlay's stary-eyed attempt at rising to his feet is futile. As soon as he enters a knelt position, he's met with a penalty kick to the chest, from Trevor Lee! Trevor dives for the cover...
Tom Phillips: "This could be it!"
1...
2...
But, Finlay just barely kicks out!
Finlay tries to rise to his feet, but Trevor grabs him by the back of the neck, and at long last, Trevor Lee briefly lifts Finlay up into the air for a Vertical Suplex positon! Then suddenly, Trevor flips Finlay over for a sit-out powerbomb, thus signalling the end of the match, with his finishing maneuver, "Orange Crush"! With it's execution, Trevor already has Finlay pinned.
1...
2...
3...
DING DING DING!
Tony Chimel: "And your winner of this contest by pinfall..."
TREVOR LEE!
Trevor Lee has his hand raised by the official, and he begins to act like he's at the top of the world, with suave confidence. Then suddenly, long after the match has been finished, Trevor Lee grabs Finlay's Shillelagh from one of the corners, and smashes Finlay in the back with an absolutely unrated whack! Finlay rolls around in pain, and thus rolls onto his back. Trevor then proceed to beat down Finlay with more caveman-like smashes, until he seems absolutely lifeless! Trevor drops the Shillelagh on top of Finlay, as he raises both of his hands above his head in victory. Likewise, Nitro rolls on...
The Scene opens when Jey n Jimmy Uso are in the back Discussion about there match while Renee young stops him
Jey: Bro I can't believe that we lost our match to the Wyatt's last Thursday on NXT and now we get to face them again this Saturday at No Mercy in a eight man tag No Disqualification match at No Mercy PPV.
Jimmy: yea Man they should be ashamed of there self's for what the Wyatt's did to us last Thursday in our match against Rowan and Harper on NXT.
Renee: Pardon me Gentlemen, but can I get a quick Moment of your time before your match this Saturday.
Jey: yea of Course.
Renee: last Thursday on NXT you in your brother lost your match to Luke Harper and Erick Rowan and then now you three will team up to face The Wyatt Family in a eight man tag in a No Disqualification match at No Mercy PPV So any Suggestions Jey ?
Jey: Well the reason that we lost our match is because they wanted to win instead of us but that's fine with us cause when we find a Mystery tag partner to join with the Bloodlines at No Mercy to take out the Wyatt Family in four days in our eight man tag No Disqualification match at No Mercy after this week's show of NXT on UWF.
Renee: Jimmy can you even defeat The Wyatt's this Saturday.
Jimmy: that depends on hows the tag match gonna be cause when our Cousin Roman finds our fourth member of the Bloodlines in our eight man tag and a no Disqualification match at No Mercy until we get another person to be in a eight man tag this week on No Mercy PPV right after this Thursday on NXT and I can't wait to see who's our final member to join with the Bloodlines with me and my brother Jey in our Cousin Roman Reigns in a tag match at No Mercy this week.
Jey: Cause we're the OOOHH!
Crowd: SOS!
(The Usos leaves when Renee young Continues talking)
Renee: there you have it folks cause in four days the Bloodlines will be in action when they challenge the Wyatt Family in a eight man tag at No Mercy this week on UWF.
Renee: So we hope that Jey n Jimmy Uso can search for a finale member to join the Bloodline in there eight man tag this week at No Mercy until NXT this Thursday night on UWF.
[Camera Scene fades when The Bloodlines heads straight towards the NXT ring before the match even begins this Saturday]
The titantron switches from the UWF NXT graphic to a live feed from backstage. The UWF World Tag Team Champions - The Young Bucks, are standing by.
Matt: Oh sup dweebs?
Nick: Young Bucks here comin' atcha live from whatever lame city we're in this week.
Matt: That's right, we come to shows we're not booked on. Tell 'em why Nick.
Nick: Cause NXT is OUR show, that's why. It's the intellectual and spiritual property of Team Meltzer. The four greatest minds in the sport today have come together and poured their hearts and souls into one wrestling show. And here it is. We are creating a product worthy of the great sport of pro-wrestling and filling it with the talent that deserves to be there.
Matt: That means trimming the fat.
Nick: That means beating up Dudleyz. We have the title belts because we're a great tag team. If there were belts for beating up chumps from Dudleyville, we'd have those too, because ever since we showed up in the UWF, that's what we've been doing.
Matt: You're darn right it is. We come out each and every week, even if we're not wrestling, just to make sure everything is running smoothly. We check to see if things are tip top, ensure it's all going according to plan and meeting our high standards.
Nick: Let's run things down shall we? Who do we have first? Finlay against newcomer Trevor Lee.
Matt: Lee sucks. A lot. A prodigy of the Hardy's? Puh-lease Don't tell me that and expect me to care. That's like going up to Gordon Ramsay and telling him you're a chef trained by Ronald MacDonald and Grimace. Still, he's getting a softball pitched his way with Finlay. Don't expect to be entertained here folks. Even a show as prestigious as ours needs curtain-jerkers.
Nick: Next we've got the New Day versus Bullet Proof. Wow. Cute. They think just because they changed the name that their Bullet Club will be successful in the UWF. Better men tried. And fell flat on their face. It's the original or bust, Finny boy. Still, these dudes have shown they can hang on our show, and they're probably next in line for our belts. We'll be happy to beat them when the time comes. Until then, enjoy them beating up some nobody try-hards who aren't even a fraction as good as they think they are.
Matt: Champions and contenders team up to face their opposites. Fascinating stuff there. Sure, there's some talent floating around this one, but make no mistake, tag-teaming is our house, and these jokers don't belong there. Stick to your mid-tier singles belts fellas, that's the only place you're safe on our show.
Nick: And finally, Spike Dudley squares off against Daniel Bryan in the main event. You know how I know for sure Team Meltzer walks out of No Mercy with all the titles we came in with?
Matt: Tell 'em Nick.
Nick: Cause we're champions, and champions focus on winning. Daniel Bryan is pissed at The Dudleyz. He wants a piece. The Dudleyz are all over the place. They know they can't beat us, Spike's too big for his tiny little britches and now they've got beef with the American Dragon. Everyone we hate hates each other as much as we hate them. They're distracted. Amateurs. It's gonna cost 'em, just wait and see.
Matt: Count on it.
Nick: Team Meltzer owns NXT. Spread the word, kiddos.
Matt: Psssh, adios sports fans.
The Bucks walks off and NXT continues elsewhere.
"Gore!"
"Gore!"
"GORE!"
About the usual ambience would've been the typical audio level from the audience in attendance. However, this volume changes with good length, as the calls for the speaker-played, chants for the Gore overtake the arena! In short, he gets a good pop, and then finally, Rhino emerges from the entrance ramp in usual hulk-like fashion. The Hardcore Championship is draped over his shoulder.
Tony Chimel: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 295 pounds, he is the Hardcore Champion, Rhino!
Rhino walks down the ramp and slides into the ring. He raises he Hardcore title over his head and the crowd cheers him on.
When the music stops blasts throughout the arena as Teddy Hart comes out with a smirk on his face as he walks down to the ring as he has a chorus of boo's mixed in with a little bit more cheers.
Tony Chimel: And his partner, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, weighing in at 195 pounds, Teddy Hart!
Teddy enters the ring and looks a Rhino and his championship before just smiling and shaking his head and going to his corner.
As soon we hear the intro, the bass kicks into the Tron, we see Blackman walking down to the ring with the fans giving him mixed reactions as he walk down to the ring.
Tony Chimel: And their opponents, first from Annville, Pennsylvania, weighing it at 246 pounds, Steve Blackman!
Blackman walks straight down to the ring with his kendo stick in hand. He slides into the ring and it looks like Rhino wants to take his head off but the ref keeps him at bay and Blackman just shrugs it off and waits for his partner.
FAAAAAME!
David Bowie's voice cuts the arena air like a knife and all of the crowd snap to attention, their eyes finding the stage as they await the arrival of the UWF Intercontinental Champion, offering a loud pop of approval for his theme alone.
Tony Chimel: And his partner, from Hollywood, Florida, weighing in at 218 pounds, he is the Intercontinental Champion, Dolph Ziggler!
Instead of doing his usual schtick, Dolph comes right down to the ring and slides in. He goes up to Teddy and the ref tries to get between the two. Rhino uses this to his advantage an decides to go on the attack against Blackman! The ref has lost control of the opening proceedings so he just calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
All four men are slugging it out with one another. Rhino knocks Blackman to the mat with a clothesline and Blackman rolls out of the ring but the Man Beast follows him out leaving Ziggler and Hart in the ring. Dolph has Teddy on the ropes and sends to the other side of the ring. Teddy hooks his arms to stop him from coming off the ropes so Dolph runs up after him but Teddy gets and elbow up, sending Dolph stumbling backwards. Teddy turns around and springboards off the middle rope with a moonsault, landing on the standing Ziggler! He grabs onto Dolph's leg for a quick pin.
1 . . .
But Dolph kicks out right away. On the outside, Blackman nails Rhino with a low blow as the ref has his back turned to the two men fighting on the outside. He grabs Rhino and irish whips him shoulder first into the steel ring post. Rhino crashes to the mat, holding his shoulder while Blackman goes over to his corner and waits on the apron. In the ring, Teddy had gotten Dolph back to his feet and lifts him from behind in a back suplex position but Ziggler flips over and lands on his feet. The momentum has him falling backwards though and Blackman blind tags himself in.
Teddy turns around dropkicks Dolph to the outside of the ring. Thinking he has an advantage, Teddy runs towards the ropes to build some momentum before coming back, looking to hit who knows what outside of the ring but Blackman rushes in and knees Teddy in the gut before he can even come off the ropes. The Lethal Weapon then headbutts Teddy which brings him down to a knee. Blackman grabs Teddy's head and brings him in a clinch and just knees Teddy repeatedly in the chest until he hits him with a high knee right in the face. He then drops down on him for the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Teddy kicks out.
Tom Phillips: Blackman actually outsmarting Teddy Hart here.
Corey Graves: Of course now you start to talk once Teddy is out. Typical Tom.
Blackman sits Teddy up and drives his knee into his back. He grabs Teddy's arms and pull on them backwards trying to ground the so called spot monkey. Rhino meanwhile gets back onto the apron as does Dolph Ziggler. The crowd is surprisingly clapping for Teddy to get back into the match, mostly because they are not fans of the Dead Prez and want to see Rhino get tagged in. Teddy is able turn his body to get all the pressure from the knee off his back. He rises to a vertical base and manages to elbow Blackman in the stomach. He takes off running towards the ropes but Blackman again catches him with a knee to the midsection. He looks at Rhino and laughs which in turn causes the Man Beast to try and get into the ring but the ref is there to stop him.
Corey Graves: I'll never understand what's the point of trying to get to someone when they taunt you. You're playing right into their hands and now Teddy is at the mercy of Blackman who can do anything now that the ref's back is turned.
Tom Phillips: Sometimes people's emotions get the better of them Corey.
Corey Graves: Rhino's a hothead and it's going to cost him, just watch.
Blackman brings Teddy back to his side of the ring and tells Dolph to grab his kendo stick and use it on Teddy. Dolph looks surprised by the order and tells him he can beat him without the use of weapons. Blackman instead drops Teddy with a neckbreaker and then gets right back up just to get in his tag partners face. The two men argue but Teddy is slowly crawling over to his corner. Dolph sees this and tag himself in and enters the ring but Blackman will have none of it as he pushes Dolph back into the corner. Teddy tags in Rhino and the Hardcore Champion comes charging into the ring, squishing both Ziggler and Blackman in the corner.
Rhino turns Blackman around and lifts him up onto his shoulder before turning around and hitting a running powerslam. Blackman tries to roll out of the ring but Rhino grabs him and stops him. He puts Steve onto his shoulders and walks around the ring, but Ziggler ends up dropkicking him in the face which in turn makes him fall backwards, basically hitting Blackman with a samoan drop. Rhino tries to get up quickly but Dolph runs up on him and hits the Famouser! He quickly turns Rhino over for the pin.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Rhino powers out! Dolph stays right on Rhino though, locking in a headlock to try and ground his opponent. Rhino is still Rhino however and he's quickly able to get back to a vertical base. From there, Dolph transitions into the sleeper hold and clutches onto the Man Beast's back. Rhino tries to grab at him but he's unable to reach behind him.
Corey Graves: All girth and no length. Rhino's built for a hardcore showdown but technical wrestling is the Show Off's forte.
Tom Phillips: I wouldn't count Rhino out just yet Graves, what Rhino lacks in technical skill he makes up with pure strength.
Rhino can't find a way out of the hold and is fading too fast to make it to the ropes. Instead and squats down, and the jumps into the air and on his back, squishing the life out of the Intercontinental Champion. Both men are down, but Rhino is first to get back to his feet. He's a little wobbly from the sleeper but manages to make his way towards Dolph. He grabs Dolph from behind in a waistlock but the Intercontinental Champion hits him with a few elbows to the side of the head. Rhino stumbles backwards and Ziggler runs towards him with a crossbody but Rhino catches him and drops him down on his knee with a backbreaker! Rhino pins his shoulders to the mat.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Ziggler kicks out! Rhino picks Dolph right back up and walks him over to his corner. Teddy lifts his foot on the top turnbuckle and Rhino smashes Dolph's face right into it before tagging in the arrogant Hart. Teddy hops over the top rope and throws Dolph into his corner. Blackman is still on the outside so Teddy doesn't worry about it. He runs Dolph and nails him with a dropkick to the face. Dolph falls forward but Teddy catches him. He turns him around and goes for a back suplex but quickly transitions him into a pwerbomb known as the Hart Rate! He falls on top of Ziggler for the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
Another kickout but Dolph!
Tom Phillips: I'm surprised to see Teddy Hart and Rhino working so well together.
Corey Graves: Dolph Ziggler his a great athlete but his ego makes him think he doesn't need any help to put away this duo and that's why he's getting a beating right now.
Teddy drags Dolph into position as he goes up to the top rope. He launches off with a phoenix splash but Dolph rolls out of the way and Teddy crashes and burns. Teddy is holding onto his stomach while Dolph uses the ropes to get back up. He then stomps on the mat, signifying he's going for his superkick. Teddy slowly starts to get up but Blackman hops back on the apron and tags himself into the match. He runs up to Teddy and picks him up and throws him into the steel ring post in Rhino's corner. He then looks at Rhino and tells him to tag himself in which he does.
Rhino and Blackman immediately begin to brawl. It's back and forth but Blackman grabs Rhino's arm twists him down to the mat in a fujiwara armbar,targeting the shoulder he threw into the steel ring post in the beginning of the match. Teddy comes into the ring over the top rope and dropkicks Blackman in the face. Dolph comes in to even the odds and starts to brawl with Teddy but the clever Hart pokes Ziggler in the eye. Dolph is blinded but throws a super kick and inadvertently hits Blackman! Teddy heads back to the apron and tags himself in before Rhino Gore's Ziggler in half! Teddy goes to the top and jumps off with the shooting star leg drop! He land right across the throat of Blackman's and the ref drops down for the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
Tony Chimel: Here is your winner, Rhino and Teddy Hart!
Rhino and Teddy Hart celebrate separately in the ring while Dolph walks up the ramp still blinded and Blackman kicks the steel steps in frustration, yelling at Ziggler while the live feed cuts to somewhere else.
We fade out from the last segment to find number one contender Daniel Bryan sitting in his locker room. He wastes no time addressing the camera.
Daniel Bryan: You think you've got it all figured out, don't you, Kevin? You're thinking to yourself that after what happened last week that I'm nothing more than chum in the water, waiting to get picked apart come No Mercy. That's the way your mind thinks. You have it in your mind that your this infallible monster, incapable of feeling pain.....An unstoppable killing machine bent on destruction.....But I see right through it all. Do you know what I see? A petulant and self-conscious child who's got an ego bigger than his common sense. You may have managed to drop me on my head last week, but that's the last time I allow that to happen. You need to beat me, Kevin. It consumes your whole existence. You can barely sleep at night. When you tuck your son Owen in to bed at night, little do you know just how little he respects you as a man. He knows just like all of these people know that there is only 1 wrestling machine here in the UWF.....and you're looking at him.
Daniel begins to wrap his wrists in preparation for his main event match tonight as he continues to speak.
Daniel Bryan: Tonight I compete in the main event of NXT against the same guy who pulled the wool over your eyes last week and beat you. Spike Dudley, congratulations on the victory last week, but when I came down for a fight, expecting us all to take down Steen and his merry band of bitches.....But instead, you and your brothers tucked tail and ran, leaving me all alone for the fight. That's the last time I do a Dudley any favors. Tonight I'm not gonna take it easy on you, Spike. You may have taken advantage of Kevin last week, but I don't lose focus like he does. That means your little Cinderella story of beating the 2 top guys in NXT.....Is not going to happen. This match is not only my warm up for No Mercy but it's also a statement aimed right at Kevin. Watch what happens when Daniel Bryan goes to work.
Daniel's wife Brie Bella walks in and hands him a bottle of water before kissing him on the cheek. Bryan takes a swig before continuing.
Daniel Bryan: I'm tired of seeing Kevin Steen walk around here like he's God's gift to professional wrestling. This is my show. This is my company. This is my profession. The old expression "This town ain't big enough for the 2 of us" rings true here. Something has to give and I can guarantee that it won't be me. I have too much left to do.....Like become the UWF International Heavyweight Champion.
Brie Bella: Oh Yes!
Bryan kisses her on the cheek before going back to his pre-match routine. We then fade into the next segment.

The General Manager of NXT makes his way down to the ring in a tailor made suit, looking as smug as ever. He enters the ring where there is already a podium set up for him.
EC3: No this is not a re-run from last week but it is a very important announcement just like last week. As a matter of fact it's a huge announcement. You see in two short months, Summerslam will be here. Whoever is International Champion whether it be Daniel Bryan or Kevin Steen, it won't matter. Whoever is champion at the time will be facing a very durable challenger.
I'm out here to officially announce that next month, NXT will have it's biggest tournament yet, the G1 Climax tournament. I have hand selected 8 of the top wrestlers on NXT to compete in it. The way the tournament works is, there will be two brackets of competitors, four on each side. Those four men will compete every week in a round robin tournament. The two men with the best record will go on to face one another at Final Battle where the winner will get to face the International Champion at Summerslam.
In order to win this tournament it's going to take a lot of endurance and heart. You'll be seeing these 8 competitors competing every week for 3 weeks straight, four in the case of a tie. Whoever comes out on top will have truly earned their shot at the International Championship. All the competitors will be announced after No Mercy so good luck to them and enjoy the rest of the show.
EC3 walks away from the podium as his music plays and the live feed goes elsewhere.
Fans cheering for NXT when all of a sudden we see
Rey Mysterio:Citizens of the UWF...
Fans cheer for the footage that Rey Mysterio has taped in advance and Rey goes on and he speaks
Rey Mysterio:Citizens I apologize for not being able to make it to the arena. My injury as had slowed me down as a of late, and so getting over there is not so easy, but you can best believe I will be at No Mercy, and I will face CM Punk, and take him down.
Fans pop for the sound of that is Rey goes and he talks
Rey Mysterio: Punk now may think because of ths injury he may have some advantage over me. Well you see Punk it isn't going to be easy. Because even though I may be not 100 percent, by No Mercy I will be. It all comes down to you Punk how much you train, and how much you want to beat me. Though the thing is a simple villain like you Punk can't beat a hero like me because when I see you Punk you remind me of another past villain. Lets see who was it again. Oh yeah its the new NXT commentator Corey Graves.
Fans give a mix reaction to Graves but mostly boos because of how mean he is too Tom Phillips on Commentary
Rey Mysterio: Let me just do check. Villain who makes fun of me check. Villain who has lame insults to me check. Villain who has weird tatoos check. Oh and finally delusional villain who thinks they can beat me... Check. You see Punk it seems like you pass the test of just how simple of a villain you are. I don't fear you at all, becayse I have defeated someone like you multiple times over, and over again. So there is nothing to fear about you... especially since you're going to be by yourself now Punk.
We all know you can't get by without the BulletProof holding your hand, and now that your by yourself you will have to rely on you, and only you. I know how to do that I have proven to many of the UWF fans that I can do anything on my own, and I can win by any means necesarry. CM Punk we all know he can't do that. I can, and that is why with the thoughts of my two sidekicks of Big Show, and Mark Henry in my heart I will get redemption at No Mercy, and take down the villain of CM Punk.... because folks when the head falls so does the rest of the beast... and that is what going to happen at No Mercy.
We head backstage where the camera crew are in the locker room and show Roman Reigns talking with his cousins, the Usos
Renee Young enters the picture and asks for a few moments with the three of them
Renee Young: Guys, sorry to bother you.
Roman Reigns: It's cool, Renee, the guys, they were just trying to get me to tell them who our tag team partner is at No Mercy.
Renee Young: That is sort of why I am here.
Roman Reigns: Of course you are. You want to know just like my cousins do and the rest of the UWF Universe. But I'm sorry to burst your bubble, Renee, but you're going to have to wait until Sunday.
Renee Young: Can you give me any insight as to who it is?
Roman Reigns: Well, I don't know. See, if I give anything, then social media will blow up and people end up figuring it out. Just be surprised like the rest of the world will be. No one will see this coming.
Renee Young: Is this all a master plan for mind games on the Wyatt Family?
Roman Reigns: Those goons? Nah, Renee, I just want them to sweat it out and think about it. I know they could care less who it is, but letting them wait and wonder, that's what I like. They don't have a clue just like my cousins don't. Again, no one will see this coming. Believe that, Renee!
Reigns winks at the camera and then fist pounds his cousins
The crowd rise to their feet as a superstar comes out to the public eye. A mixed reaction, mostly cheers fill the arena as only Spike Dudley comes onto the stage. Spike looks out into the crowd, pointing out to the them, whilst putting the 3D sign in the air.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is your main event and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Dudleyville, weighing in at 145 pounds, Spike Dudley!
He goes to walk down the ramp, stopping himself and pointing back towards the curtains. The crowd aren't left waiting as Spike's brothers burst through and onto the stage with him. The cheers continue as the trio head down to the ring, Bubba and Devon immediately heading around it to Spike's corner at ringside while Spike slides in and climbs a turnbuckle to throw his arms up defiantly for another huge pop!
10....9....8....7....6....5....4....3....2....1....
The fans explode as "The Final Countdown" by Europe begins playing over the loudspeakers. After the countdown, Daniel Bryan emerges, pointing upwards and leading the crowd in screaming "YES!" He makes his way down the ramp.
Tony Chimel: And his opponent, from Aberdeen, Washington, weighing in at 210 pounds, Daniel Bryan!
Bryan slides into the ring and stares down Spike. He walks over to his corner and calmly waits for the ref to call for the bell.
DING DING DING
Spike Dudley jogs in place a bit to psyche himself up while Bryan just stares at him. Spike slaps himself in the face before walking up to Bryan but Bryan grabs his arm right away and armdrags him to the mat and puts his hand on his shoulder, torquing on the shoulder of the littlest Dudley. Spike tries to punch Bryan with his free arm but it doesn't work. He then turns his body enough to get back to a vertical base. Bryan decides to let him go and Spike backs off, holding his shoulder, clearly frustrated as Bryan just smiles at him.
Corey Graves: Look at this, Bryan is just toying with Spike.
Tom Phillips: If he was smart, he'd learn to take Spike seriously or else he'll suffer the same fate as his opponent at No Mercy, Kevin Steen.
Corey Graves: You saying the Absolute Best isn't smart? He might be the smartest wrestler in the world Tom, he just knows that Spike isn't a threat.
The Dudley's hop on the apron and give Spike a few words of encouragement and advice. Spike gets up from kneeling and once again walks back to Bryan. The two lock up but Bryan transitions right away into a wristlock and puts it behind Spike's back. The Dudley Boy taps his shoulder before turning around and reversing the wristlock onto Bryan. Daniel Bryan just elbows Spike in the side of the head to break the hold and then knees him in the gut. Spike falls to his knees where Bryan kicks him square in the chest, a mix of Yes' and No's from the crowd with each kick. Bryan then steps back for the final blow to the head but instead steps forward and slaps Spike across the face.
Corey Graves: Haha! there we go! These guys might technically be both fan favorites but they haven't forgotten about the wars they've had.
You can see the frustration on Spike's face as he digs his fists into the mat. He stands straight up and gets right in the face of his opponent. Bryan goes for a punch but Spike blocks it and starts hitting a flurry of punches, backing Bryan into a corner. Spike continues to hit shots to Bryan but the American Dragon simply lifts Spike up and turns around to place him on the top rope. Bryan starts to climb but Spike fights him off. Bryan tries to get back up but Spike kicks him right in the face. Bryan comes forward one last time but Spike grabs onto his head and jumps off with a tornado DDT! He crawls over to Bryan for the pin.

2 . . .
And a kickout from Bryan! Spike looks a bit shocked, thinking he almost just stole one right there. Right away he picks up Daniel Bryan and puts him in a side headlock. He points to the corner, signifying he wants to go for the Dudley Dog but Bryan shoves him off into the corner. Bryan runs at Spike but the Runt hits him with a back elbow. Spike hops to the top turnbuckle and Bryan comes back at him with Spike getting his feet up to hit Bryan in the face but Bryan catches his feet and shakes his head. He then pulls him out and kneels down on one knee, Spike landing directly on top of it in a back breaker.
Instead of going for a pin, Bryan picks up Spike and gets him in a butterfly hold. He looks out at the Dudley's and smiles before flipping Spike around into a double underhook backbreaker! Spike rolls over face first on the mat and Bryan stands over him. He stomps on Spike's, forcing spike to push his arms back. From there, Bryan once again hooks Spike's arms but this time flips over into the Cattle Mutilation!
Corey Graves: Cattle Mutilation! Spike's done for!
Tom Phillips: Spike has been through a lot in the past, I'm not so sure he'll give in here Corey.
Corey Graves: He'd better if he still wants to be able to use his arms after this match!
Spike is clearly in agony as he cries out when the hold is locked in, but he just refuses to submit. Bryan bridges his body almost perfectly and keeps the hold cinched for a good 30 or 35 seconds before finally giving up on it to roll out. Spike sits up, but as he does Bryan kicks him hard, flush on the back. Spike flops over on his side and rolls, bringing a sadistic grin to Bryan's lips as he falls in for the cover.

...NO!
Tom Phillips: Look at the heart in Spike Dudley!
Corey Graves: I never in a hundred years thought he'd be competing with the champion and challenger for the International Championship in back-to-back weeks, let alone putting up a fight in one match and winning the other.
Tom Phillips: Is that respect I hear?
Corey Graves: No. Incredulity.
Spike gets a shoulder up and Bryan pushes up to his feet. He then grabs Spike by the ankle but the Dudley runt uses his leg to kick Bryan away into the ropes and as he rebounds Spike monkey flips him from the canvas. Bryan impacts hard and the Dudley boy recovers as quickly as he is able before hitting the ropes himself and coming back at the recovering Bryan with a dropkick! Bryan tries to get to his feet again but this time, Spike climbs up to the second turnbuckle and then leaps off and executes a facebuster! After making Bryan eat canvas, Spike hooks the leg.
1...
...NO!
Bryan kicks out quickly, so Spike immediately rolls him over and lays into the back of his head with some forearms. He nails the American Dragon several times before getting back to his feet to head for the apron and then climbs up to the top rope!
Tom Phillips: Spike's going for something high-risk here!
Corey Graves: High-risk doesn't always mean high-reward though, Tom!
Spike leaps off looking for a leg drop but Bryan rolls out of the way and the Dudley runt lands hard, ass-first, on the canvas. As he tries to recover, Bryan closes the gap and unloads those shoot kicks he is so famous for, the crowd shouting "YES!" along with him as each kick connects with a loud SMACK on Spike's chest. After seven kicks, Bryan hauls Spike to his feet and hooks under his arms before lifting him up and over with a butterfly suplex! Bryan keeps the hooks in and immediately tries to transition into a cross armbreaker! Bryan actually locks it in but what neither he nor the fans anticipate is Spike having enough wherewithal to scramble to his feet and push his weight down on Bryan, pinning him to the canvas!
Tom Phillips: Picture-perfect suplex into a cross armbreaker and oh my God what a counter by Spike!
Corey Graves: No way this ends here!

...3!
DING DING DING!
HERE IS YOUR WINNER:
SPIKE DUDLEY!
Corey Graves: I don't believe it, he stole another one!
Tom Phillips: Two big wins in as many weeks and the Spike Dudley story is quickly turning into a Cinderella story!
Spike doesn't hang around, rolling out of the ring almost as soon as the three count comes down. And with good cause, Bryan is livid in the ring and slams the canvas multiple times before getting to his feet and heading to the edge of the ring to shout after the retreating Dudley runt! The fans are sharply divided, with those who support the underdog cheering Spike while others start a "YOU GOT ROBBED!" chant for Bryan. Daniel continues raging, and Spike heads to the top with Bubba Ray and Devon. Their walking backwards up the ramp, raising Spike\s hand in the air practically rubbing it in the face of Bryan until Kevin Steen comes out from the back and grabs Spike from behind and throws him off the stage!
The Young Bucks also come out from the back and start brawling with Bubba and Devon. Steen starts to walk down the ramp and Bryan, still full of rage meets him half way when he exits the ring and they fight on the ramp. Both men are slugging away until Steen gets a knee in the gut of Bryan's. He walks him down the ramp and looks to bounce his head off the steel steps but Bryan places his foot on them to stop it. He elbows Steen in the gut and slams his face into the steps! Steen walks around the ring, trying to get away from Bryan. He leans against the barricade, giving bryan a false sense of security because as soon as he comes up on him. Steen grabs him and throws him as hard as he can against the barricade!
Multiple security guards come out from the back. Some of them try to get in between the Young Bucks and the Dudleyz but most go off to stop Kevin Steen from kicking the hell out of Daniel Bryan.
Tom Phillips: It's chos out here and we need some order!
Corey Graves:Not way! I say let them fight! Daniel Bryan should be smart enough to know that he can't compete with a fresh Kevin Steen.
The security guards manage to pull Kevin off of Bryan and begin to escort him to the back. They've also pulled apart the Dudleyz and the Bucks. They walk Steen over to the side of the ramp but Bryan slides back into the ring and dives to the outside, taking out all the guards and Steen! He then starts to attack the downed Steen while the other guards rush to pull them apart once again. Both men manage to get a few good shots in as they're being pulled apart until they finally get separated with Bryan rolling back into the ring and Steen being dragged away up the ramp. The last image we see is Steen staring at Bryan from on top of the stage with Bryan in the ring staring back as security stands between them.
