They show a WWE.com exclusive of Sylvester Lefort confronting Lana, who is speaking Russian. 

Sylvester Lefort vs. Alexander Rusev

Lana introduces him here tonight. Rusev immediately smashes him and locks in the Accolade and that is all. Really. I would have preferred at least a big power move first to help put him over as a monster a little more, but I guess this works.

Match Rating: 1/4* (out of 5)

Charlotte and Bayley are backstage and in walks Summer Rae and Sasha Banks. They give Bayley a new headband. Charlotte isn't buying it, but they try to get Bayley to join their clique. 

El Local vs. Leo Kruger

Local tries to attack Kruger, but he gets hit with a big spinebuster instead. Kruger hits a big running lariat and three snap suplexes. On the third one he rolls into a guillotine and that is all. It's looking like this will be one of the fast paced editions of NXT. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

They show footage of Emma and Paige arguing last week after Emma accidentally hit Paige. 

Travis Tyler & Troy McClain vs. The Ascension

I guess we're going to get a third squash here tonight. The Ascension hit their usual power stuff before quickly hitting their finisher and ending it. Again, not much to write about here. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

Tye Dillinger vs. Mojo Rawley

Dillinger actually gets in some offense here as he quickly shows that he isn't just some jobber. Alex Riley lets us know that the NXT Universe is going to love Rawley. Sure. Rawley's offense is really...something. He wins with a weak looking squash like Earthquake. Not good. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

Luke Harper vs. Kassius Ohno

Looks like the big fellas are going to get some time here tonight. We get some stiff looking action to begin. Harper slows it down for a little bit, which he had a habit of doing in the early Wyatt days. Ohno fights back with a forearm and a diving kick through the ropes. Ohno flips over the ropes and Harper greets him with a boot, sending him to the floor. Harper slows it down again and once again Ohno fights back. Ohno hits a somersault neckbreaker, but it's not enough to put Harper away. Ohno hits the KO, but Harper kicks out. Harper then hits the discus lariat and gets the victory. This was again disappointing, but far from bad. I just was hoping for something a little different. 

Match Rating: **

As you could probably tell from my review, I wasn't really into this episode here. This was just a bunch of nothing and it led to a disappointing main event for me. However, NXT has still been on a roll and I'm willing to bet that next week will be back up to the standard they have set in 2013.
