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 official, tonight is the contract signing for the biggest match in NXT history. Kevin Steen vs CM Punk. I can't wait!
Tom Phillips: Those tow are certain to tear the house down at Summerslam but we've also got some great action for you people tonight as The Dudley Boyz take on the Revival.
Corey Graves: Thank God Stacy's back because now I can tolerate the Dudley's. Unfortunately for them I can see her being a distraction and you don't want any distractions when going up against the Revival.
Tom Phillips: Speaking of distractions, let's hope Angle has his head on straight when he faces the Man Beast Rhino.
Corey Graves: With Ziggler joining us at the table, anything is possible but I'm looking forward to see if Rhino can back up his claims and actually beat Angle one on one.
Tom Phillips: Plus we got tag team action as the Wet Bandits make their return against Bo Dallas and Jack Swagger while the Wyatt Family takes on the also returning Miz and John Morrison.
Corey Graves: Those guys seem a little off to me. You decide which of the four teams I'm referring to. Something I can't wait to see however is Steve Blackman vs Rey Mysterio. That little coward Rey says his knee is at 100% but we're about to find out if he's still a sniveling, lying little coward!
Tom Phillips: That match later tonight but up first we have tag team action! Let's go down to the ring!
The scene opens up on The Wyatt Family standing backstage.
Bray Wyatt: John Morrison and The Miz. This week you looked to make a grand impact with your return, and against any other opponents, you more than likely would have. But this is my Wyatt Family, the types of monsters that not even the storybooks in the library of the Palace of Wisdom tell you about.
Braun Strowman: The two of you thought you were so funny when you came back and immediately started cracking jokes, but let's see how hard you're laughing when it hurts to do so. Let's see how many jokes you make about us after we've put you in the hospital with a feeding tube and a bedpan.
Luke Harper: You want these people to remember you on this night, and they will, just not in the way you want them to. Instead of a great tag team making a much clamored for return, you'll be remembered as the unfortunate two that were chosen for The Wyatt Family's Summerslam practice.
Erick Rowan: Tonight, you will follow the buzzards.
Bray Wyatt: We're here.
Bray blows out the lantern as the arena is now completely dark as, "Live In Fear" begins to play.
Bray makes his way out from the backstage with the rest of the Wyatt Family in tow.
i]The crowd begins to boo the Wyatts as they wait for their opponents to make themselves known. While this is going on, a light in the arena goes out. Followed by another. And another. Soon whole sections of lights are turning off, followed by the light up graphics around the arena. Then even the emergency lights turn off, leaving the arena pitch black. The crowd has time to murmur and begin to panic, but fear not! Strobe lights and a thousand technicolour lasers appear from the stage and slice through the black like a katana through Mongolian armour, the UWF Universe begins to stir in anticipation when suddenly through the PA comes...
SAIL
The crowd upon hearing this goes absolutely MENTAL!~ Women start screaming in octaves that are not even possible for the human voice to reach. Smarks turn into marks, marks turn into children and children turn into even more excited versions of childrens.
Ding...
Ding...
Ding...
Harper starts off with Morrison who is looking on at the crowd admiring all the beautiful people. Though Harper goes and he stands in front of Morrison, and Morrison looks shocked seeing this. Morrison runs towards the Miz, and he tags him in. Miz asks why he has to start first, and before Morrison can answers Miz gets knocked out with a huge big boot.
Tom Phillips: Miz and Morrison havent been here in a while so rust is an issue.
Corey Graves: Rusty or not when youre in the ring with the Wyatt family you cant lose focus.
Harper picks up the Miz, and he throws him across the ring. Harper is looking to do more to the Miz, but the Miz runs underneath the legs of Harper, and he tags in Morrison. Morrison looks on confused, and Miz rolls out of the ring, and Harper grabs Morrison, and he throws him in it. Morrison gets up, and he is met automatically with a huge punch. Morrison bounces off the ropes from the strong punch and Harper lifts Morrison high in the air, and he nails him with a huge flapjack.
Tom Phillips: Morrison is known for flying, but I dont think that is the type of flying he likes.
Corey Graves: Yeah he doesnt like it but I can tell you right now Luke Harper is loving this.
Luke Harper awaits for Morrison to get up, and he nails him with a huge discus clothesline. Harper looks to go for the pin, but Bray Wyatt signals him no. He is telling Luke make them suffer more. Harper places Morrison by the turnbuckle. Morrison is standing there, and Harper charges at him, and Morrison moves out of the way. Harper is now stunned, and Morrison bounces off the ropes hitting a knee to the face to Harper who goes down on one knee.
Tom Phillips: It seems like Morrison now has the big man reeling.
Corey Graves: All luck Tom.
Morrison goes and he tags in the Miz. Miz grabs the head of Harper, and he nails him with a DDT. Miz quick tags Morrison in again, and Morrison springboards off the rope, and he nails a springboard leg drop. Morrison looks on as Harper is raising up again, and Morrison quick tags the Miz again. Harper ends up going to the turnbuckle, and the Miz nails him with a jumping clothesline. Miz tags Morrison back in who goes to the top turnbuckle, and he nails another knee to the face of Harper. Morrison goes for the cover.

No kick out at one!
Tom Phillips: All those moves, and all it was a one count for the Wyatts
Corey Graves: It takes almost inhuman abilities to take these men down. Morrison goes, and he tags in the Miz again. Miz measures Harper up, and Harper gets up, and Harper gets hit with the skull crushing finale from the Miz. Miz drags Harper near to his corner. Miz tags in Morrison. Morrison goes to the top turnbuckle, and he springboards off it, and he nails the starship pain onto the down Harper. Harper gets the leg hooked by Morrison.

No kick out by Harper. Miz and Morrison go and they look on at each other, and the two men dont know what to do. The two men both exit out of the ring, and they begin to talk it over.
Corey Graves: What are these two goofs doing?
Tom Phillips: Maybe trying to re-evaluate the situation that theyre in.
Miz and Morrison are talking over it, and they both agree that would be the best course of action. Miz and Morrison go to head back in the realize, and they realize Harper is dragging his body, and he makes a tag to the big bad Braun Strowman. Miz and Morrison both their faces look like theyre turning green. Morrison gets thrown in by the Miz, and Morrison gets up, and he is met with a huge big boot. Morrison gets turned inside out. Miz laughs on the outside, but Strowman grabs him, and he lifts him on the apron. Miz is amazed, and Strowman throws him into the ring. Strowman goes and he doubles clothesline both men taking them down. Strowman then picks up both men and he nails both of them with a reverse chokeslam, and he pins both of them.

Here are your winners the Wyatt Family!
Corey Graves: Total domination by Braun Strowman.
Tom Phillips: Corey you maybe right you may have to have inhuman strength to take these men down.
The Family exits the ring as they follow their leader Bray who leads them up the ramp as NXT moves forward.
The scene opens up in the backstage area. Tom Phillips is seen in the back with Kurt Angle who is in his full wrestling attire.
Tom Phillips: Im here with none other than Kurt Angle and I have a few topics of interest.
Kurt Angle: Of course Tom, and thank you for having me. Im sure the UWF Universe is thankful for this opportunity as well.
Tom Phillips: Lets hop right in. What are your thoughts your match with Rhino in the main event?
Kurt Angle: Honestly I think Rhino is a piss poor excuse for a NXT wrestler. He barely looks like a human and he isnt one that usually gets and keeps the fans entertained. But yet, here we are duking it out one-on-one, so I guess he is good for something. But tonight, I plan on having Rhino be my personal punching bag. Im going to bruise his intestines and body parts with each and every blow that I deliver. Im going to destroy the Man Beast tonight in his tracks. That alternative career as a Michigan governor might seem like a better option after tonight.
You know as a matter of fact, does anyone actually like Rhino? No right? Thats what I thought. Im going to make sure I vanish him and expose him for the fraud that he is. I think hes one of the guys that just takes up too much space on the roster. And one more thing about Rhino. Have you ever smelled his breath? Smells like hot corn chips and
Kurt Angle pauses in mid-sentence as he sees something, or someone. The camera zooms out a bit and its apparent that someone is walking up to Angle. In a few seconds it becomes clear that the person is none other than the man beast himself. Tom notices the obvious tension in the area and takes a few steps backwards for safety.
The camera enters a full-scene with Kurt Angle and Rhino both staring each other down. Angle is on the left, Phillips with the microphone in the middle, and Rhino on the right. Rhino exchanges a few, short glances between Angle and Phillips, before speaking-
Rhino: "Hot corn chips, Angle? What does that mean, and actually, what does that even smell like? It's not that I wouldn't know. In fact, I've got a pretty good idea what my breath smells like. It probably does smell pretty hot, almost like I'm burning with rage, Kurt. Now, there's a burning furnace at the pit of my stomach, and it's always fuming up another odor, or some other - so I'm so sorry, if I offended you with the stench. But, take this friendly bit of advice anyway, Kurt. A bad breath will be the least of your problems after I've ripped out every bodily organ you have, and crushed every bone you didn't think you even had. But, while we're here..."
Rhino turns to Tom Phillips-
Rhino:"Tom, why don't you go ahead and ask me a few questions, while I'm here."
Tom holds the microphone with slightly wobbly hands, but it's enough to keep what needs to be said on air-
Tom Phillips: "U-Uh... Sure, Rhino... So, how do you think you'll win the match?"
Rhino's quick to respond.
Rhino:"By kicking his ass."
Tom has a confused look on his face.
Tom Phillips: "That simple?"
Rhino shoots a glare at Kurt, foul intentions in his eyes, as he says what comes next.
Rhino: "As simply as I said it, and just as simply, it will be done."
Rhino continues to stare down Kurt.
Kurt grabs Toms wobbly hand that is holding that microphone and drags both of them closer to his face and starts speaking.
Kurt Angle: Kick my ass? You have one lucky week and all of a sudden you think youre Mike Tyson? You think youre the baddest guy in the locker room? On the planet? Save it Rhino. You couldnt pour water out of a shoe if the directions were on the heel. I can completely understand why youre feeling so confident, little have you realized that this is a different week. A different opportunity, and a different match up and you can guarantee that there will be a different outcome. It doesnt matter how many suplexes or innovative moves I have to come up with out of my arsenal. It also doesnt matter how many gores I may have to eat in the process. Youre just a small, tiny obstacle in my way to keep me amused until I can get my hands on Dolph. Fact of the matter is Ive already defeated you when it matters most. Tonight will be no different.
Rhino cracks a smirk, though this quickly dissipates, as Rhino returns to a cold, dead stare-
Rhino: "Well, aren't you pathetic. Are we going to play these mind games again, Kurt? Last time you tried to play these they didn't work, and you took the pin from me. It shows your desperate, and that you don't have a game plan. Speaking of which, is a surprising change of pace from you, Kurt. I thought it was integrity, intelligence, and intensity -- but it's clear you're missing all but the last one, there. Do you think you've already beaten me, Kurt? DO YOU?! Because, if you seriously think so, you 'ought to take a good, hard, long look in the mirror, Kurt. Because there, you'll see the person that's already been defeated when it matters most."
Kurt then walks right up to Rhino and head butts him. The begin to literally butt heads with each other until they both lose it. The two men begin exchanging lefts and rights, back and forth. Kurt kicks Rhino in the stomach which forces him to double over. Kurt clobbers him on the back with a forearm. Rhino then grabs Kurt by the legs and runs him spine first into the wall and begins to hit him with a flurry of rights and lefts. Kurt pokes Rhino in the eyes and then grabs a fist full of his hair and slams his head into the wall. Kurt then slides behind a dazed Rhino and delivers a german suplex on the cold hard floor.
Kurt then stands up, proud of the damage that he has done. He starts to walk away slowly when all of a sudden, a mop bucket comes flying out of nowhere and hits him square in the temple. Kurt hits the ground hard and Rhino gets on top of him and starts pummeling him with more lefts and rights. NXT officials and backstage officials are on the scene as they hurry to separate the two men as the scene fades to black.
Dash and Dawson make their way from the back into the filled arena. The crowd appreciating the damage they did last week to Dallas and Swagger does not go unnoticed as they make their way down the ramp.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, at a combined weight of 446 pounds, Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder, The Revival!
The Revival is all business as they don't even bother recognizing the crowd. They simple get into the ring and wait for their opponents to come out.
YER, WE'RE COMING DOWN
GET UP, GET UP, GET UP
DROP THE BOMBSHELL.
The crowd rise to their feet as they await the appearance of The Dudley Boyz. The crowd raise the noise levels as The Dudley Boyz make their way from behind the curtain but they aren't alone as it's the return of Stacy Keibler! Bubba points to the curtain as Spike Dudley emerges with a table in hand. The Boyz do the standard Dudley fist pumps as Stacy motions out to the crowd. Devon and Bubba grab the table from the littlest Dudley and begins their way down the ramp with Stacy in toe and Spike deciding to go backstage.
Tony Chimel: And their opponents, being accompanied to the ring by Stacey Kiebler, weighing in at a combined weight of 565 pounds, Bubba Ray and Devon, The Dudley Boyz!
Bubbe and Devon enter the ring and go to the corners to pose for the fans. The Revival doesn't waste any time though, attacking the Dudleyz from behind, Dash actually pushing Bubba over the turnbuckle with him falling to the floor. From there, they start to double team Devon with boots all over his body. The ref is able to back them way though with Dash heading out to the apron. The ref checks on Devon and asks if he wants to continue. Devon nods yes and the ref reluctantly calls for the bell.

DING DING DING
Dawson immediately continues on the attack and goes right to the knee of Devon's. He picks up his left leg and kicks him in the back of the kneecap. Not one to let up, Dawson drops an elbow on the inside of the leg for good measure. There he stays on the leg, rubbing the point of his elbow into the kneecap of Devon's. Devon tries to fight out of it with shots to the side of the head of Dawson's but Scott just elbows away at the knee even more. Bubba has had enough tough as he just enters the ring and kicks Scott in the side of the head. This breaks the hold and allows Devon to crawl over to the ropes.
Tom Phillips: Smart tactic by the Dudley Boyz there.
Corey Graves: Smart? If it was the Revival who did that, you probably would never shut up about how they're breaking the rules. Hypocrite.
Dawson and Bubba are in each other's face, mouthing off to one another until Bubba throws a big elbow. Dawson is caught off guard and turns around into a big spinebuster from Devon Dudley! Devon immediately goes back to clutching at his knee. He tries to power through the pain and make his way to Bubba but Dawson manages to tag in Dash. Devon is just inches away from tagging in Bubba but Dash comes in and grabs his leg, dragging him back to the center of the ring and putting him in the inverted figure four leg lock.
Devon is screaming in pain, Bubba knowing he has to do something to help out his partner. He tries to enter the ring again but the ref cuts him off this time. While this is going down, Scott Dawson enters the ring and starts kicking away at the exposed knee in the figure four leg lock. Devon is about to tap but Stacey Kiebler reaches out and rakes the eyes of Dash who's head was near the ropes. Wilder releases the hold and grabs at his eyes. Dawson, realizing what just happened exits the ring and tries to confront her. Bubba sees this while he's arguing with the ref and exits the ring. Stacey is backing up slowly as Dawson yells at her but he ends up getting blindsided with a clothesline to the floor.
Tom Phillips: And that's what happens when you take your eyes off the Dudleyz for just a second.
Corey Graves: What are you talking about Tom? That was blatant cheating and the Dudleyz should be exiled! Stacey can stay.
Bubba picks up Dawson and thows him into the barricade for good measure. Meanwhile, Wilder has come to and knowing that he had Devon on the verge of tapping out. He tries to go right back to the inverted figure four but when he turns, Devon manages to kick him off with his free foot and Dash goes tumbling through the ropes. The crowd cheers loudly, knowing that this is the chance for Devon to finally get the tag. Bubba is back on the apron, reaching out but Dash suddenly gets back into the ring. He grabs Devon's leg but Devon jumps forward and tags in his brother!
Bubba comes in and takes down Dash with a big clothesline. Dash gets back up only to get taken down with another. Dash gets up for a third time but this time Bubba starts throwing straight punches to the side of the face until he stops to do a wave motion between his arms and finishes it off with the bionic elbow! Wilder falls to the mat and Bubba follows up with a cover.

And a kickout from Wilder! Bubba doesn't waste any time bringing Dash back to his feet, and putting his head between his legs. He points to the table outside, indicating that's he's going to powerbomb Dash through from the inside of the ring. He lifts Dash up but Wilder fights back with fists straight to the skull of Bubba. Bubba isn't deterred in any way though and goes to throw Dash to the outside but Dawson hops on the apron and prevents it by holding Dash up. Eventually with enough shots to the head, Dash is able to get free and lift Bubba up for a flapjack onto the ropes! Bubba bounces off the ropes hard and Dash quickly goes for a cover.

But Bubba kicks out! Dash just gets right on top of him and starts slugging away, keeping true to the Revival's motto of no flips, just fists. He then goes over to tag in his partner. Dawson comes in and they both pick up Bubba and send him off the ropes. Bubba comes back into a double back elbow followed by a senton from Dash and a fist drop from Dawson. Dawson then goes for a pin.
1 . . .
2 . . .
Another kickout from Bubba! Dawson gets angry and immediately tags in Dash who comes into the ring for another double team.
Corey Graves: Talk about tag team wrestling 101, these guys are keeping the most decorative tag team in wrestling history grounded.
Tom Phillips: But you'd have to wonder if they'd be doing so well if this match didn't start out the way it did.
Corey Graves: No, I don't have to wonder that at all.
Dawson picks up Bubba and sends him into the ropes. It looks like their setting up for Shatter Machine but Bubba comes back with a huge big boot to the face! Dash runs at him with a clothesline but Bubba ducks under it and gets his back, throwing him back with a german suplex! Dash is dazed, scurrying to his feet but Bubba just gets behind him and gets him in a full nelson. It isn't long until Dash feels the fury of the Bubba Bomb! Instead of going for the cover, Bubba walks over and tags in Devon who goes straight to the top. Bubba puts Dash in position and lifts his legs up and apart. Just as their about to hit the Wassup? Dawson comes onto the apron and pushes Devon off the turnbuckle, Devon landing hard on the ground below.
Dawson tries to enter the ring but Bubba cuts him off with a knee to the side. Bubba starts to beat down on Dawson until Dash hits him with a chop block from behind. Bubba falls to his knees and from there, The Revival just beats the holy hell out of Bubba Dudley. They start to drag him over to the corner for Dawson to put in the figure four on the ring post but Devon comes over to fight him off on the outside. Dash though exits the ring and goes after the weak left knee of Devon's. The Revival decides to do away with the attack to Bubba and instead they double team Devon and toss him into the ring. Devon is slow to get up but when he finally does, Dawson lifts him up for the flapjack and Dash connects with the double knee facebuster collectively known as the Shatter Machine! Dash covers Devon while Dawson keeps a lookout for Bubba.

Tony Chimel: Here are your winners, Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder, The Revival!
The Revival celebrates in the ring while Spike Dudley comes out from the back and him and Stacey check on the Dudleyz. The Revival acts as if they might attack Spike but instead head to the back, still celebrating up the ramp as the cameras go elsewhere.
The cameras go backstage where EC3 is sitting at his desk when Maxine walks through the door.
Maxine: Ethan, Steve Blackman is here to see you.
EC3: Good, bring him in.
The Hardcore Champion walks through the door with the title over his shoulder.
EC3: Steve! I bet your wondering why exactly I called you into my office. Well to put it rather bluntly, I need a job done and it seems like only a man of your nature is able to get it done. You see, ever since I took over Nitro and transformed it into what NXT has become, I've always had one goal in mind. Get rid of the Samoans. Steen nearly got Roman to quit but he stuck around until now. He's officially quit and of course you saw what happened to Jey Uso at Final Battle. Do you see where I'm going with this?
Jimmy Uso is all that remains and low and behold, he's you're opponent at Summerslam. In a match where anything goes and nobody can stop you. I need you to make sure Jimmy doesn't walk out of the building that night on his own accord if you catch my drift. Do this for me, and I'll not only give you a big bonus for the night, but you'll also be rewarded with a big opportunity I have planned coming up. What do you say?
BLACKMAN:So you really want me to exterminate Samoans? I mean kinda fucked up and i am man who isn't racist. But what you are somewhat offering me to do against Jey Uso, seems kind of my lane. If I cant make him walk out of the ring, i will personally send him on a stretcher after the match is done. So IF I do win at Summerslam and retain my title, you better make sure you keep your promise of my reward, you hear me OR ELSE!
Then we see Blackman giving EC3 a very stern look. Blackman turns away to walk out but suddenly EC3 speaks.
EC3: Oh and one more thing. If you don't mind, Mysterio says his knee is at 100% now. Find out if that's true tonight in your match.
Blackman: If its true, then i will make less than 100% to the point he can not even wrestle in the PPV. I am out of here, and remember, you better keep that reward or I will put you in bad situation, bossman.
Then we see him getting out of his office, as we continue the broadcast.
Tony Chimel: "Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first..."
"One More Time!"
Tony Chimel: "From Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Black Gate, South Carolina, the team of Dan Lawrence and Markus Crane, The Wet Bandits!"
The Wet Bandits theme song hits and a collection of groans fills the arena for the return of the dynamic duo who have yet to win a match in their careers. They stroll down to the ring and slide in.
Tony Chimel: "And introducing their opponents, from Perry, Oklahoma, and Brooksville, Florida, Bo Dallas and Jack Swagger!
Jack Swagger and Bo Dallas emerge from behind the curtain to their entrance music. Dallas is all fun and games, while Swagger clearly isn't. Bo's already running around the ring, and Swagger appears to be deliberate as he makes his way down to the ring. Regardless, they enter the ring at the same time, and take up position on the left ringpost from the entrance ramp. The official calls for the bell-
VS
DING DING DING!
It appears Markus Crane and Jack Swagger from each team will start the match off, as they both begin to circle each other. Markus and Jack reach proximity with one another, and it appears the two will engage in a collarbone-elbow tie-up. However, Swagger's amateur background allows him to slip behind Crane, and subdue him with a rear-waistlock. Swagger then lifts Crane into the air, and drops him stomach-first to the canvas, as Jack's quick to roll Crane off his belly, and closer to the center of the ring, as he wears him down with the same rear-waistlock.
Tom Phillips: "Jack sure is putting his amateur background on display here, Corey."
Corey Graves: "As he should, it's his rightful advantage."
Markus manages to rise to his feet, whilst Jack has him in the waistlock. Markus is trying to bend his back to relieve pressure from the hold. Then suddenly, Markus has an absolutely ingenius tendency, and proceeds to thrust his ass back into Swagger to mock anal sex with Jack Swagger. Jack Swagger is irate, and releases the hold immediately. Spitting his hands, trying to cleanse himself from Markus' bullshit. Angry, Jack looks to be coming back with what's to be a shot to the back of the head of Markus. But instead, Markus hits Swagger with a pele kick that sends him down to the canvas like a ton of bricks.
Tom Phillips: "Oh, boy. Gettin' creative here tonight!"
Corey Graves: "Uh."
Swagger is on the ground, still looking frustrated with letting himself get distracted. However, Swagger can't bring himself up before he's hit with a running senton by Markus Crane on his side, as he tries to reach for a tag on Bo Dallas. Jack Swagger clutches his side, clearly in agony, as he's forced to slump over onto his back. Just as Swagger does so, Markus comes running back with a senton on Jack's back. Now, he rolls onto his back in agony, but it receives the same treatment, as Markus finally hits a running senton square across the stomach.
Corey Graves: "I refuse to believe my eyes, when there's so much more he could've done, instead of sentons."
Tom Phillips: "But, it's effective."
Corey Graves: "..."
Markus covers Jack Swagger-

But, Jack kicks out!
Jack powers out of it, by tossing Crane clear across the ring. Crane almost lands on his head, but that's okay. Crane stumbles for a tag on his partner, 'Dirty' Dan Lawrence. Jack does the same, and tags in Bo. Both Bo Dallas and Dan Lawrence come running towards eachother, but it's Bo Dallas that actually ducks under, and by taking down both of the legs of Dan, and in turn, causes him to fall face-first to the canvas. Bo Dallas spins around the other side of Dan, and quickly engages him with a grounded front facelock.
Tom Phillips: "And Bo catches Dan Lawrence with a double-leg, into a front face-lock."
Dan Lawrence manages to rise to his feet, whilst in the front facelock, but Bo Dallas quickly transitions into a headlock onto him. Now, Dan Lawrence is forced to lean against the ropes, in order to send Bo Dallas across the ring with an Irish Whip. Likewise, Bo is sent across the ring, and Dan Lawrence is positioning himself on the middle rope for something. Bo Dallas comes running back, and Dan Lawrence comes flying half-way across the ring with a springboard Atomic DDT!
Corey Graves: "And a springboard Atomic DDT from Dan Lawrence, onto Bo Dallas."
Dan Lawrence scrambles for the pin on Bo-

But, Bo Dallas kicks out!
Dan Lawrence proceeds to stomp away onto Bo Dallas, clearly angry. Dirty DL continues to stomp away onto Bo Dallas, until Bo finds the leverage to grab the bottom rope across the ring. With the referee forcing the break, Bo slides out of the ring for a breather. Dan Lawrence starts clapping, squatting and all sorts of shit. Markus Crane starts doing the exact same thing, and everyone's just really confused.
Corey Graves: "What did I do to deserve this."
Dan Lawrence then ricochets across the ring from the rope opposite to Bo Dallas, and he would've connected with a suicide dive, but Bo Dallas gets distracted by something momentarily and wanders off, while Dan Lawrence is forced to collide remorselessly against the barricade. Insult to injury, I think is the term proper.
Corey Graves: "I have no words, Tom."
Tom Phillips: "Me neither."
Bo Dallas turns around to see Dan Lawrence on the floor, and all. Likewise, he scoops Dan Lawrence up by the tights and neck, and slides him into the ring for the cover-

But, Dan Lawrence kicks out!
Bo Dallas grabs Lawrence by the hair, and drags him over into his team's corner. With a front face-lock on Dan Lawrence by Bo Dallas, Jack Swagger tags himself in, as it's understood that's what Bo wants. Jack Swagger proceeds to beat down on the back of Dan Lawrence, with multiple standing double axe handles. Swagger then drags Lawrence closer to the center of the ring, and positions him for the Swagger Bomb. Likewise, Swagger lifts him up into the air from the gunwrench, and slams him back down with the powerbomb!

Tony Chimel: "And your winners by pinfall..."
BO DALLAS AND JACK SWAGGER!
Bo Dallas is all smiles, as he comes heroically running circles around Jack Swagger in celebration. Jack Swagger's hand is risen by the official. Meanwhile, Dan Lawrence and Markus Crane are gathering their bearings, as they leave the arena. All the while, NXT heads elsewhere.
[The Scene opens when Jimmy Uso is talking to his Wife Naomi in the back while Jojo stops them]
Jojo: Pardon me Jimmy. but can I get a few moments of your time before NXT this Wednesday.
Jimmy: Yea Sure thing Jojo.
Jojo: last Wednesday on NXT you won your triple threat match against Teddy Hart and Trevor Lee and then now you will face Steve Black man for his Hardcore title at Summer Slam PPV So any Suggestions Jimmy ?

[Camera Scene fades when Jimmy Uso heads back to his Locker Room before his match at Summer Slam even begins next Sunday]
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...
Fans in the NXT arena are quiet when suddenly...
Fans in the arena cheer like crazy as Rey Mysterio's theme hits. The fans are popping, but die down a bit as Rey's music, and then all of a sudden out comes Rey Mysterio to a huge pop. Rey comes out, and he is no longer limping the injured knee seems to be healed of the former International Heavyweight Champion. Rey walks down the ramp, and he walks down the ramp, and he interacts with all the fans of his.
Tom Philips: Well a heartfelt official welcome back to Rey Mysterio from this capacity crowd.
Corey Graves: Shut up, Tom. This man doesn't deserve a hero's welcome.
As Rey's heading down the ramp, Blackman comes sprinting down behind him with the Hardcore Championship in hand as he drills him in the back of the head with it, knocking Rey to the ramp. Steve releases the title and heads over to the ring, flipping up the apron as he begins to search. He soon emerges with his signature kendo stick as he begins wailing on Rey with it. Mysterio climbs to his knees and then to his feet despite the shots as Steve swings it like a baseball bat at the bad knee but Rey just leaps over the swing and, once he lands on his feet, delivers a standing dropkick that sends Blackman staggering backward, causing him to drop the kendo stick.
Rey picks it up and snaps it over his knee, discarding the halves to the side as he slides into the ring. Blackman comes to and slides into the ring as well as the match officially gets underway.
DING DING!
Blackman takes Rey to the mat with a clothesline the luchador wasn't expecting and uses the opportunity to grab the leg of the bad knee but before he can capitalize, Rey kicks him away with his free leg and gets to his feet. The two share a brief staredown before Steve dives at the leg of the bad knee but Rey sidesteps and delivers an elbow drop to the upper back as Blackman eats nothing but mat. Rey returns to his feet, as does Blackman, who sweeps the back of Rey's leg to put him on the mat. Blackman follows this up by grabbing the leg of the bad knee and raising it up before slamming it violently against the mat.
Rey cries out in pain as Steve has a sickening smile appear on his face. Blackman raises the leg again and once again violently slams it against the mat to the same reaction from Rey. Steve now turns the leg so that he can attack the side of the knee as he begins delivering a brutal series of stomps in quick succession.
Tom Philips: Well we're going to find out whether that knee's 100% or not.
Corey Graves: I can't help but enjoy this considering all I went through with Rey.
Blackman backs off as Rey clutches his knee on both sides, cupping it with each hand. Rey puts his hands to his sides flat on the mat and tries to push himself to his feet but as soon as he puts weight on the bad leg, it buckles as he collapses into a seated position. Blackman smiles as he takes off running toward Rey and delivers a falling headbutt onto the knee, a move that ends up hurting both men and leaves Steve vulnerable. As Steve is dazed, Rey rolls him over onto his back and grabs his arm, locking them between his legs and he grabs both sides of the wrist and wrenches back with a gruesome looking armbar.
Rey only applies it for a moment before releasing as the way he's applying it is aggravating his knee. Blackman gets to his feet smiling about this as he goes for another stomp to the knee but Rey pulls his leg out of the way and to Steve's surprise, kips up.
Tom Philips: What?
Rey points to his temple with his pointer finger and taps it a few times, indicating he was playing mind games with Blackman. Steve takes an angry swing at him but Rey sidesteps and trips him as he lands draped over the middle rope. Rey runs to the opposite ropes and as he comes back, he swings through and goes for the 619 but Steve grabs both legs and bites the knee of the bad leg as Rey cries out in pain as Blackman allows him to fall to the ring apron.
Corey Graves: 100% or not, getting bit hurts.
Steve exits the ring and grabs Rey's leg and drags him towards the ring post, then pulls it away and drives it knee first into the post. Rey cries out in pain as Steve palms the knee and pulls him out of the ring, allowing Rey to hit the back of his head hard on the outside floor. Blackman looks like a man possessed as he scoops Rey up and takes off running straight ahead, dropping him knees first into the steel steps as they explode apart upon impact!
Steve looks happy with what he's done as Rey climbs to his feet and begins hopping back and forth from foot to foot, showing that no matter how Steve tries to capitalize on it, the knee has healed. Blackman is furious as he grabs the top of the steel steps and hurls them at Rey, who sidesteps quickly. Steve snatches up the other half of the steel steps and hurls them at Rey as well, who just manages to sidestep. Blackman now heads underneath the ring and emerges with another kendo stick as he begins swinging it violently.
Tom Philips: This madman's going to get himself disqualified!
Corey Graves: I don't think he could care less at this point, Tom.
Rey slides into the ring as Blackman follows after but before he can swing the kendo stick at Rey, he's reprimanded by the referee who takes it from him and throws it out of the ring. Blackman is furious as he goes after Rey who hits him with a dropkick that sends him backward as he spins dizzily and ends up draped over the middle rope. Rey runs to the opposite ropes and rides the momentum off of them into a picture perfect 619. Blackman is to his feet and staggering around dizzily as Rey follows up with the West Coast Pop and then covers.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Tony Chimel:Here is your winner, Rey Mysterio!
As Rey celebrates, Blackman rolls out of the ring and retrieves his kendo stick as he re-enters the ring and takes a violent swing at the back of the knee on Rey's bad leg as it buckles and Rey falls to one knee. Blackman hits him in the top of the head and then swings it like a baseball bat, hitting him in the back of the head.
As Rey lay there face down, Blackman continues to unload on the knee with the kendo stick when suddenly Jimmy Uso comes sprinting down the ramp but by the time he slides into the ring, Blackman's already slid out of it as he climbs over the barricade and exits through the crowd, he and Jimmy having a staredown.
The titantron switches from the UWF NXT graphic to a live feed from backstage. Dave Meltzer is seen speaking with The Young Bucks in a locker room.
Meltzer: And she had the nerve to send Byron to do her dirty work for her! Can you believe it?!? I can't. It's actually unbelievable!
Nick: But have you talked to EC3 yet? There's no way he can't overturn our loss! Bulletproof blatantly cheated!
Matt: Those freakshows tarnished our record. What the heck is that about?
Nick: Tarnished!
Meltzer: Yeah, yeah, and that's terrible. You two need to get it together and keep your heads in the game. Your match at Summerslam is nothing short of a clustercuss. You've got The Dudleyz coming back with a bone to pick -
Nick: Well, we did kick their girlfriend in the face...
Meltzer: Then there's Bo Dallas and Jack Swagger, who my sources suggest is the "next big thing" -
Matt: Wait! Aren't we still the next big thing?
Meltzer: Not to mention The Wyatts, who sure don't seem to like you -
Nick: Yeah, well, it's friggin mutual.
Meltzer: And the House of Pain who REALLY don't like you.
Matt: Psssh, whatever, they're losers.
Meltzer: As well as about a half-dozen other teams who all want to knock you off the top. But NONE of that is as concerning as Scoops McCallahan and this... this... "grudge" of hers that she just can't get over. You know what I need to do?
Nick: File an H.R. complaint?
Matt: Hoof her right in the front-butt?
Meltzer No! I need to -
Kevin Steen suddenly walks into the shot.
Steen: You need to focus. All of you.
Matt: Oh... uh, hey Kev!
Nick: Haven't heard from you all week, man. How's it going?
Steen: I've got a contract signing coming up here, and you know how those go... but how about you? Dave, what have you been up to lately? Keeping your eyes wide open and your ears to the ground? That's why you're here, isn't it? To let us know what's going on before anybody else knows?
Meltzer: Um... yes.
Steen: Right. Keep that in mind. That's where your head needs to be at. Not on whatever you've got going on with Scoops McCallahan. At Summerslam, we get put on trial. CM Punk is single-handedly challenging everything we've fought to build. If he wins, then none of it mattered. Let that sink in. This is a must-win situation.
And you two? What the hell happened last week? You're the most dominant team in company history and the first loss you drop to another team is Bulletproof? We're at war... and it looks like we're losing. We can't. We can't. We're better than that, because we are and we have to be. So get your god damn heads back in the game.
Nick: Yeah, sure thing man.
Matt simply nods. Dave is pale and quiet. Steen nods and walks off, ready for the contract signing. NXT continues elsewhere.
Tony Chimel: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is tonight's main event! Introducing first, from Detroit, Michigan and weighing 295 pounds... RHINO!
"Gore!"
"Gore!"
"GORE!"
Burning right through the atmosphere with the threesome bellows for the Gore, the audience pops, as Rhino's likely to be arriving soon. Then right after, the audiological events are followed by the sound of a rhinoceros charging forward, and Rhino's just now past the curtain, and on the stage. He beats on his chest a few times, before tossing up both of his hands for his signature flex.
In standard fashion, Rhino rushes the ring with carnal speed. Sliding through the bottom rope, he places himself on the middle rope of the furthest corner, and does his signature flex there too. The Man Beast hops down then, and moves to his corner to await his foe.
Tony Chimel: And introducing the opponent, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and weighing 240 pounds, he is the Olympic Champion... Kurt ANGLE!
Kurt Angles theme music blares across the arena and the crowd instantly lets out a flurry of cheers. The cheers get louder once Kurt emerges from the back. He does his signature pose at the top of the ramp with the pyro going off. He makes it down to the ring and immediately moves to his corner to await the starting bell.
-VERSUS-
DING DING DING!
The men in the ring circle each other, sizing one-another up and looking for a gap in their respective opponent's defenses that they can exploit to get an early edge -- both long-established, battle-hardened veterans and former UWF World Champions. Kurt finally closes the gap to tie up Rhino, but as he tries Rhino goes low with a shoulder thrust that propels Angle back into the corner. Rhino holds Angle there, getting hands up to clasp Angle's forearms before sliding them in to Kurt's jaw to cinch in a chin hold that the official starts a count on. Rhino releases after three, backing off as per the referee's orders to give Kurt some breathing room and the pair, again, square up with the fans buzzing.
Tom Phillips: Less than two minutes in and already the power of the War Machine on display as Rhino simply outmuscled his foe into that corner.
Dolph Ziggler: I've been on the receiving end of Rhino's brute force in the past, and let me just say, I don't envy Kurt his match here tonight.
Corey Graves: Some ring acumen there too, guys: Rhino knows, as anybody who wants to stand a shot on this brand -- that Kurt Angle is one of the best grapplers in this sport, and he wisely avoided a tie-up there.
Kurt again looks to be coming in to tie-up with Rhino, but this time Rhino slides to the side and throws a knee up, catching Kurt in the stomach. Angle, from the sheer force of the blow, is doubled over and Rhino drives an elbow into his spine before spinning around, planting a boot on Kurt's arse and kicking him toward the ropes. Kurt lurches forward, but catches himself with his two hands on the second rope, then gets fully vertical and turns around but as he does, he turns into a huge shoulder block that takes him off of his feet to crash to the canvas. Downed, Angle is defenseless as Rhino sets into him with a boot, then drops down with two clenched fists on his torso, before repeating the blows in a hammering fashion until Kurt wisely rolls out of the ring to regroup.
Corey Graves: I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but is Rhino actually outfoxing Kurt Angle here?
Tom Phillips: I don't know, Corey - it's early yet - but it certainly seems like he may be!
Dolph Ziggler: I think it's wise not to count Angle out. He's an Olympic Champion and one of the smartest minds in wrestling, not to mention a class act.
Kurt climbs back up onto the apron and Rhino immediately starts advancing, making it clear that he has no intention to give the Olympic Hero any separation. Angle, therefore, hops off the apron and back on to the floor. He then feigns sliding into the ring and again Rhino moves in, so Kurt pulls back out. Finally he shouts something at Rhino and then climbs up on the apron. Rhino charges, looking to connect with a shoulder-thrust through the ropes, but Kurt falls down to his back on the apron while tugging down the second rope and Rhino sails out through the gap, clear over Angle, to land on the floor on hands and knees! Kurt laughs hysterically as he rolls into the ring and gets to his feet, having traded places with the War Machine who gets up red-faced as the fans laugh and cheer on Angle. Kurt then says, "You fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book, Rook!" The fans laugh even harder at the taunting and Rhino loses that cool head as he slides into the ring. Kurt, now, has all the power and he closes the gap quickly, such that when Rhino stands up he's already cinched into a belly-to-belly clutch and Kurt tosses him overhead with force in a suplex! Rhino hits the mat hard and immediately shoots up in a seated position as he braces his lower back, but Kurt pulls him to his feet, locks in the same clutch and executes the same maneuver a second time to a large pop from the crowd!
Dolph Ziggler: See what I'm saying? Kurt has turned this match around.
Tom Phillips: He's putting those same skills that helped him secure Olympic glory to use here in disarming the War Machine!
Corey Graves: There's a reason so many people revere Kurt Angle, and it's the level of talent he brings to this ring. Watch closely because he's about to put on a clinic.
Not wanting to press his luck with a third belly-to-belly, Kurt shoves a seated Rhino down to the canvas and hooks the leg.
1...
...NO!
Just after the one, Rhino gets the shoulder up and Kurt breaks the cover, getting back to his vertical base and taking a second to adjust his mouthguard. That second is costly as Rhino gets to one knee, and when Kurt closes back in to pull Rhino to his feet, he gets smacked flush on the jaw with a hard right that staggers him. Rhino then throws a forearm into Kurt's stomach that causes him to snap forward, at which point Rhino connects with a hard uppercut that puts Kurt on his heels and reeling. It's at this moment that Rhino finds his legs and surges, taking Kurt by the waist and driving him into the corner with a massive shoulder thrust! The fans "ooo!" as Kurt is folded by the blow, then Rhino pulls back and surges forward three more times with a series of brutal, subsequent shoulder blows. Finally Rhino relents, but only for a few moments as he steps back a few paces and then lurches forward and connects with a full-force splash! As Rhino pulls away after that impact, Kurt staggers out of the corner and falls flat on his face and Rhino roars and pounds his chest to some heat from the Angle fans in tonight's crowd.
Corey Graves: That was an impressive turnaround from the War Machine, and this match is shaping up to be one of the most entertaining NXT has put on in a while.
Dolph Ziggler: I don't know about that, Corey. Did you watch the G1 Tournament?
Tom Phillips: Of course he did, we do the commentary all the time, Dolph. Still, you wouldn't think it given how different these mens' styles are, but they're putting on a real showcase of power and grace.
Rhino pulls Kurt up to one knee, and then up to his vertical base before grabbing him by the wrist and pulling him into a shoulder block. Rhino repeats this motion several times, never releasing Kurt's wrist and actively working to keep the Olympic Champion on his feet, before finally converting the grasp into an arm wrench and driving a hard elbow into the back of Kurt's head that puts him down on the canvas. Rhino then rolls Kurt over and hooks the leg.
1...
...NO!
After the one-count, Kurt gets a foot on the ropes and this forces the break. Rhino seems irritated by that, and he grabs Kurt's ankle and pulls him into the middle of the ring before going for the cover again, but this time he doesn't even get a one-count before Kurt kicks out. Rhino growls as he gets to his feet and heads to the corner, throwing his hair back over his shoulder and shaking his head. He then turns toward Angle who already is up on one knee, trying to shake the cobwebs off and, determined not to let Kurt get back into this thing, rebounds off the ropes and connects with a boot to the side of Angle's head that draws some heat from the crowd.
Tom Phillips: The War Machine getting some hate from tonight's audience for that big boot.
Dolph Ziggler: It was a literal low blow, and that sort of kick can cause concussions.
Corey Graves: It's one thing to kick a man when he's down, but to kick a living legend like Kurt Angle... that won't endear you to anybody.
Kurt is clearly rocked by the hit to the head as he lies flat on his back and tries to shake out the cobwebs. Rhino, grinning, merely stomps around in a circle before sizing up a man he is clearly viewing as his prey. As Kurt gets back to his vertical base, Rhino drives him into the corner and then starts to unload with a flurry of hard lefts and rights to Kurt's shoulders and head. Angle gets his arms up to block, and Rhino slides low to deliver kidney shots. Angle tries to block low, and Rhino goes high.
Dolph Ziggler: This is like a pugilist's wet dream here, Rhino is just pummeling Kurt Angle and you can see the life fading from the Olympic Champion's eyes.
Corey Graves: Maybe so, but like you said earlier it's always a little too early to count Angle out. If anyone can find an escape here, it's him.
As if to prove Graves' point, Kurt manages to catch one and then the other arm, and then turns the tables and puts Rhino in the corner before unloading with a hard knife's edge chop to his chest. Rhino roars in pain as the impact of the blow can be heard to the rafters of the arena. Almost immediately, Kurt follows up with another, and then pulls Rhino from the corner in a suplex clutch and executes a quick snap suplex! Rhino hits the canvas back-first as his spine, again, bears the brunt of the impact and he rolls on his side, bracing it with the back of a hand as Kurt stays flat on his back breathing heavily and clearly still feeling the effects of the beating he just took in the corner. Both men stay down for several seconds and so the official starts a ten-count, getting to four before Kurt finds the ropes and uses them to get vertical. Rhino is still on his side, still bracing his back for several more seconds before crawling for the corner and using the turnbuckles to get up. Kurt, having recovered first and managed to get this senses back, moves in on Rhino who is still trying to get oriented and immediately clutches and connects with a belly-to-back suplex!
Tom Phillips: Again with a suplex and the accumulating force of impact of all of those rough landings has to be taking its toll on the Man Beast!
Dolph Ziggler: I'll just say I would not want to be Rhino right now. Kurt Angle knows all of the right ways to execute a suplex for maximum impact and he has to be smarting after suffering so many.
Corey Graves: I'm with Dolph there, Tom.
Not wanting to give Rhino the time to recover whatsoever, Angle rolls Rhino onto his stomach and then sits on his smarting spine to lock in a camel clutch! Angle starts to stretch Rhino, and the War Machine roars as the hold is cinched in! Rhino immediately starts looking for a rope to grab, but soon realizes there's nothing but air within reach and clasps his hands into tight fists as Angle pulls back on the hold, the referee checking to make sure Rhino isn't submitting.
Dolph Ziggler: I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen Kurt lock in this particular submission hold in the past and, really, I'm not sure I have.
Corey Graves: Still, you can see how effective this choice is. He's been wearing Rhino's back down all night and, on top of stretching out the neck, this hold is just hell on the back.
Tom Phillips: Really smart choice by the Olympic Hero.
Rhino looks like he's fading, but he manages to dig deep and find a second wind as he pulls his arms back and manages to wrap them around Angle's ankles. Rhino then starts pushing to get up, lifting Angle in the process.
Corey Graves: What the... there's no way he's strong enough to do this!
Dolph Ziggler: You might call it desperate, but I call it ingenius -- and if you've never witnessed the War Machine's strength, get ready!
Rhino gets to his knees and Kurt is bug-eyed in disbelief. So strong is his complete disbelief in the whole thing that he doesn't realize the precarious position he's in as Rhino manages to get his shoulders beneath Kurt's legs and has him positioned in an electric chair! Rhino roars as he pushes up to one knee, and then to his feet, the crowd in a frenzy of booing and cheering for the display of strength and audacity as Rhino begins to march around the ring! Kurt starts to throw punches, finally snapping out of his sheer shock, but it's too late as Rhino falls backward and dumps Kurt with the electric chair drop! Angle cries out and all the momentum swings in the Man Beast's direction as he gets to his feet, thumps his chest, stomps both feet one after the other and heads to the corner, then turns toward Kurt Angle and assumes a three-point stance as Angle slowly gets back to his feet! Rhino launches, and Kurt turns around just in time to catch the full force of a bone-shattering GORE!!!
Tom Phillips: G--
Dolph Ziggler: I wanna do this! GORE! GORE! GOREEEEEE!!!
Corey Graves: Ugh, give it a rest, will you?
Rhino hooks the leg!
1...
2...
...3!
Here is your winner,
the War Machine...
R H I N O!
Dolph Ziggler: A round of applause for the man who, at Summerslam, will compete for the Money in the Bank contract in a one-on-one match against Rey Mysterio. Way to go, Rhino!
Tom Phillips: You're probably only saying that because you're happy to watch your own Summerslam opponent take the 'L' in this one, right, Dolph?
Corey Graves: Why shouldn't he be? Nobody wants their opponent to have the momentum heading into a big match, and especially not a championship defense!
Rhino continues to celebrate in the ring as Kurt rolls out of it, clutching his stomach and looking rather disappointed over the loss. Dolph, meanwhile, simply stands up at the announce table, smiling and clapping for the War Machine as his celebration continues.
We see Bobby Roode at the backstage.
Bobby Roode: For those of you who are ignorant enough to not know somebody like me, I am Bobby Roode. I am not going to WASTE my time talking about myself, what I have accomplished. Those are your works to do. If you don't know me, that's your loss. What you should do is go online and search the name of Bobby Roode. Then you will see all the accomplishments that I have achieved throughout my career. And you can go online and read the reviews of those losers who couldn't become even a cleaner in the backstage of a professional wrestling arena. I don't give a damn about what they say, I don't know what they say because I am not you. I don't go online and read wrestling stuff because I DO wrestling stuff! You see, I am living the life that all you guys dream of. You people open your computer, write about wrestling or watch matches. You open your PlayStation and you play wrestling games. Me? I do write wrestling but it's not online, it's in a wrestling arena. I do not play wrestling games because I am already a wrestler in real life. And I am not just a wrestler, no. Do not go and make that mistake. Do not EVEN think about it because I am special. Very special. I am one of my kind. You may have heard some guys who had called themselves 'special, unique' and you may called some of the wrestlers things like that. Even you went on and believed that they are the best in the world. They are not. Because you haven't seen the best yet. You see, there is always a bar in wrestling. The guy who takes that bar higher becomes the better wrestler. And I am that person, the person that sets the bar higher each and every single night! Now you smarks may think "Who the hell are you? You talk about being the greatest but we haven't seen that yet" then that is your fault! Not knowing a wrestler like me is a lack in your life! Talking about mistakes, I have done a few mistakes in my life, I admit.
Bobby Roode: For those of you who are AGAIN ignorant and stupid enough to don't know, I have been in UWF before. Yeah. I even become a half of tag team champions along with your beloved "Cowboy" James Storm. We had become Tag Champions by beating Barrett & DiBiase. That was one of my mistakes. Believeing and trusting in that stupid ass cowboy was a mistake! A mistake that I have done for many times. I don't know how I was stupid enough to let that man use me just like that! But from now on, I am on my own. I am off my chain! I am not tangled in strings anymore! I am no ones muppet anymore. I am not any "Insert a manager that can make me look good because I am terrible on mic" Guy! I am my own guy, I am a Bobby Roode guy. I will fight on my own for myself. I will get all the accomplishment that I couldn't get because of my mistakes! I was a loyal man. Loyal to my partner, loyal to my company, loyal to the fans... But all of these are mistakes that made me not look as good as I really am. This time, those mistakes were not be made. This is a different time. I have seen that it is time to stop giving and start taking! So that's what I am going to do. I will show you that I am nothing like you have ever seen! Not because you deserve to see me in my greatest form. It's not because I have to prove myself to anybody. I can beat anyone's ass in that locker room. I can outwrestle them, I can give the beatdown of their life! I have to do what be my best because I have to prove myself to one person and one person only, and that person is me! Bobby Roode! Me being the best here is not a fact to anyone here yet. But it's a fact to me because I know it. I believe it. And I will make myself right here in UWF! So, I am here to show all of you and myself the truth. A rude truth!
IT PAYS TO BE BOBBY ROODE!
Roode walks away.
The camera opens up with EC3 already standing in the ring where the table and two chairs are. There is a microphone on each side of the table as well as in EC3's hand as he gets ready to speak.
EC3: Ladies and gentlemen, last month started a tournament where 8 hand picked competitors fought it out to see which of them would get a chance to fight for the International Championship at Summerslam. What I saw from everyone in the tournament impressed me but two losers in that tournament have already took their ball and gone home. The rest continue to fight it out every week but one man, one man made it through. The first annual G1 Climax Tournament was a success and here to oversee the contract signing for NXT's historic event is none other than my aunt, the owner of NXT, Dixie Carter!
NXT Owner Dixe Carter makes her way out from the back to massive boos. Her nephew is the only one in the arena clapping for her but she pays no mind to all the fans. She climbs up the steps and enters the ring. She blows kisses to the crowd, winking at them before she raises the mic to speak.
Dixie Carter: Thank you for the welcome NXT! I know you missed me but like I said when I originally took over, I'm far too busy to be running the day to day here and my nephew has done a terrific job. My good friend Donald Trump even told me many people say NXT is the place to be. As a matter of fact, this brand is making me a ton of money so Ethan, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Your high concept ideas are pricey but they've been showing great results. As any businesswoman knows, you have to put money, effort and thought in to get greatness out. You have to say screw complacency and take risks in order to grow. My nephew has taken many risks to achieve what he believes in. A place where anyone can succeed if they work hard enough. Even if he's not a big fan of you personally, you can still succeed on NXT, just ask Jey Uso.
The crowd boos, knowing full well how Jey Uso had just been treated the past month.
Dixie Carter: Well you can't really ask him now that he's in the hospital but you get my point. When I first took over this brand, all we had was Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan as true main event superstars. Kevin Steen had just come back and Seth Rollins had fallen off. It's been 7 months since that faithful day and now look at us. Kevin Steen is the International Champion, Dolph Ziggler arrived hotter than ever and almost won the Royal Rumble. Rhino has come out stronger and more vicious to where he can win the Money in the Bank briefcase. Rey Mysterio returned because of the hype NXT was getting. Kurt Angle is a superstar on the rise and even Tyler Breeze and Carlito made a name for themselves here before they washed out. Of course as I said before, even Jey Uso found his way to the top through hard work and determination. Bray Wyatt's found his groove back, Spike Dudley has come from out of nowhere, Steve Blackman is killing it as Hardcore Champion and the tag division is red hot! I'd take all this over when we just started out with Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan any day.
NXT has helped build all these stars. It's the place to be to prove your worth. But out of all the people I named, no man has had a better resurgence than the man who won the G1 Climax Tournament. Lafdies and gentlemen, I introduce you to...CM Punk!
'Portishead - Machine Gun' begins blasting as CM Punk makes his way straight to the ring without stopping. He gets into the ring and grabs the microphone.
Dixie Carter: CM Punk is a great success story but NXT wouldn't be here if not for this man. He is the current, reigning International Champion. His ideals are very much in line with Ethan's and because of that, NXT has flourished. So Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...Kevin Steen!
"Godzilla" blasts through the PA. Maybe it's because they're just sick of booing those already gathered in the ring, or maybe its because the people are just desperate to see somebody beat some humility into CM Punk - but there are more cheers than anything else as Kevin Steen walks out on to the ramp. The champ looks pleasantly surprised, even flashing a quick smirk as he stares down towards the ring. Sporting his title belt over his shoulder, "Mr. Wrestling" strolls to the squared circle. Sliding into the ring, Steen promptly takes a seat across the table from Punk. He lounges back in the chair before tossing the UWF International Championship down on the table before grabbing a microphone.
Dixie Carter: Now boys, I'd like this to stay civilized. This is a big match at Summerslam and I want you two to be in perfect health. Don't y'all be doin' nuthin' that'll hurt this match okay? Now Kevin if you would please.
Kevin lounges back in the chair before tossing the UWF International Championship down on the table before grabbing a microphone.
Steen: Well, there it is. The "big one". Take a good, long look at it, Punk. Why don't you just do what you do best, pat yourself on the back, and remind yourself how great it is for you to be here in my ring, looking at my championship on my show.
Kevin tilts his head in Dixie's direction.
Steen:: Yeah, that's right Dixie, and try to keep that in my mind next time you show up and open up that big yap of yours. This is my show. Ethan might sign the paycheques and book the matches, but there's only one name synonymous with this brand. Team Meltzer has redefined and saved professional wrestling right here on the most cutting-edge show in the world today. Those other guys you listed? I've already beat 'em. I've cleaned out this roster of just about anybody you could ever hope to call a contender... there's just one guy left...
"Mr. Wrestling" redirects his attention towards Punk.
Steen: I'll admit, you went through a lot to get here. Despite coming up short time and time again, failing at Aztec Warfare and having the weight of Bulletproof drag you down, you still made it through the G1 to get here tonight. I'd tell you I'm impressed, but I'm sure you're already impressed enough for the both of us.
I know you're most comfortable when your head is stuck up your own ass, so maybe it's been a while since you took a look around. For the past year or so, I've absolutely destroyed what was commonly thought to be the natural order in the UWF. There were men who were supposed to be the all-time greats, guys so dominant that they were called unstoppable. I beat them. I upstaged them. I put most in the hospital and even retired a few. It's only gotten worse since NXT started up.
I just passed Roman to become the second longest reigning International Champion in history. You really think you're going to be the guy that ends this all now? Give me a break, bud. Not you, of all people it won't be some vindictive little second-city prick. I've fought to hard. I've beaten better. You many be unlike anybody else I've faced, but it's never mattered who the other guy was, I've just always been the better man.
Now... I might not be the most popular guy in town, but there's a couple thousand people here, and I bet a few million watching around the world, who just can't wait to watch me drop you on that greasy head of yours. And hearing them cheer my name for the first time in who knows how long, well, I'm tempted to start the biggest party of the summer a little early.
CM Punk then looks over to EC3 once Kevin Steen has finished speaking.
CM Punk:
Take a look at it? How about no. Hey there Ethan, how's it been? Dixie...Yeah. Let's talk about you guys first before I get over to Kevin there. You two, the mastermind of this palace that we call NXT. Not only have I not spoken to you in God knows how long, I've held it all in. But this right here is a microphone, we're live... this means I get to do what I want! Oh boy, this is going to be fun! I've not gone up to either of you because I know just how much of a waste it is speaking to you both, it's almost like talking to a dead horse. Now I've got the rightful opportunity, none of you can take that away from me. It's signed, look... I've just signed the dotted contract.
CM Punk quickly signs the contract.
You could rip it up, you could take it away but you're not going to. Of course I've had a great success story, it's because unlike everyone else, I refuse to finish second best. For years I've been striving, making a name for myself. I've been here, I've left here, I've gone on RAW, Thunder, Nitro, Smackdown and every damn name this place has used in the past. Every single time I've made it to the main event only to be screwed out by Authority. This time, that isn't happening. You don't want anything to happen do you? Oh, perhaps a table will flip and Kevin and I will provide some sort of preview for Summerslam. You'd like that wouldn't you? I don't know what I'm going to do in a couple of minutes, perhaps I'll just walk to the back, perhaps I'll throw a punch at Kevin and we can get this party started earlier. Now... to you Kevin.
Uh yeah, that's a pretty nice belt isn't it. It'd be a shame if I took it away from you Kevin. Oh, that's exactly what's happening at Summerslam. This, I've held it before. I will take a good long look at it, it's around filth, it's dirty, not shined. I'm going to clean it Kevin, all you're doing is keeping this nice and warm for me. I've been an unpredictable person ever since I've taken the G1 by storm, ever since WrestleMania I've only lost once. That was to Dolph Ziggler, who I beat in the finals mind you. Revenge is quite sweet, but you've got nothing to deliver revenge on. Not just yet. As for me, I've got revenge. Revenge for never having a rematch, so what happens to you at Summerslam isn't going to be my fault. It'll be on Ethan Carter and Dixie Carter for not giving me the rightful opportunity earlier. I don't need to look around Kevin, for the past year I've proven my worth to be here in this very ring and I'm glad that it's now and never. We could go on about the names we've beaten, we could go on about how one of us is better than the other. It's a sweet symphony playing.
Congratulations on surpassing Roman Reigns' reign, even that was shitty. I never understood what this company saw in the guy, what's he doing again for Summerslam? Some shitty tag match that nobody cares about? Yeah, just as I thought. Former champions end up nowhere Kevin, former champions don't get very far. Soon, you'll be riding the coats of what Rey Mysterio is doing right now. He might hold Money in the Bank and perhaps cash in, but I don't see that happening. I'll kick his ass like I have before, much like you have too. There are too many irrelevant people around here, but me.. I'm relevant as it gets. Call me a prick all you want Kevin, I'm the Second-City Saint. You want the party started... It is 'Summer' after all and you're looking at the 'Summer of Punk'. You're not prepared for the massacre Kevin, you're clearly not pre-
Clearly tired of everything that's come out of Punk's mouth thus far, Steen flips the table over onto Punk and knocks him off his chair. Dixie clears out as well as EC3 as Steen goes on the attack and starts to beat down CM Punk. It isn't long however until Seth Rollins pops up from under the ring and attacks Kevin from behind. Clearly there was an attack set up by Punk but Steen pulled the trigger first but nonetheless, Steen is now at the mercy of both Rollins and Punk.
The crowd surprisingly cheers when Dave Meltzer comes out onto the stage and calls for the Bucks to come down and help. After awhile though, no Bucks come and Dave wonders what's going on. The feed then cuts to backstage where Balor and Ryan are beating down on the Young Bucks. Dave runs to the back to go help or do something, leaving Kevin in the ring to his fate. Punk puts the table back in position and tells Rollins to give Steen to him. Rollins does and Punk picks him up onto his shoulders. He looks straight into the hard cam and smirks before hitting the GTS!
The fans in the arena boo loudly but Punk keeps Steen standing, not want him to fall. He then goes over and throws Kevin onto the table and instructs Seth to go up top. Rollins obliges and quickly ascends to the top rope. Rollins looks back to measure the distance before he comes off the top rope with a Phoenix Splash through the table!
Tom Phillips: My God they might have just ended Kevin Steen!
Corey Graves: So far Kevin has done wonders on his own but now it looks like he might actually need that entourage he's got for Summerslam to help watch his back.
Punk goes over and grabs the International Championship and raises it high, putting his foot over the body of Steen's, signifying that he's going to slay the giant at Summerslam and come out the International Champion. It's the last image we see as NXT fades out.
