We get a recap of the Sami Zayn/Adrian Neville match from last week.
Bayley vs. Becky Lynch
Becky hits a suplex and hits a leg drop. Bayley fires back until she gets distracted by Sasha. Becky is able to snap her neck on the top rope and that's all? I mean there was a little more than what I typed, but not by much. They get in her face until Charlotte's music hits. Even this leads to nothing, as Becky and Sasha just head to the back. If this was all the time this was going to get, why even put it on this week?
Match Rating: 1/4*
Bayley thanks Charlotte backstage. Charlotte says she won't be here next week and she knows what Sasha is capable of. She tells Bayley to stay away and not to ask her for a match. Bayley agrees and gives her a hug.
The Vaudevillains come out and say that they are the #1 contenders and that they deserve their match now. The Lucha Dragons music hits and two little people dressed as Sin Cara and Kalisto come out. Aiden English calls out a referee and we have a match.
Vaudevillains vs. Mini Lucha Dragons
Simon hits an airplane spin and hands him off to English for one from him. He passes him back to Gotch for another one. He hits a body slam and bring in their partner. English hits a swinging neckbreaker for the victory. This seemed a little out of character for them.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We get our first Kevin Owens vignette. 12/11/14 is flashed at the end of it.
Baron Corbin vs. Elias Sampson
The crowd is already counting along and it takes about 17 seconds for Corbin to hit End Of Days for the victory. This has turned into an episode of Superstars tonight.
Match Rating: 1/4*
After the match, Bull Dempsey's music hits and he just passes Baron, so no story really given here?
Bull Dempsey vs. Steve Cutler
They play it up as he is trying to one up Corbin. The crowd counts along, but he starts hitting elbow drops and the crowd boos it. They start chanting "Baron's better", which is like an episode of The Twilight Zone. Dempsey hits a top rope headbutt and that's all. Yep.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Tyson Kidd vs. CJ Parker
Kidd avoids Parker in the corner and then hits a kick to the face. He hits a dragon screw into the ropes. He hits a fisherman hook neckbreaker and puts him in the Sharpshooter. Parker comes close to the ropes, but Kidd brings him back and that's all. Parker continues to get buried for whatever reason.
Match Rating: 1/2*
Tyson gets on the mic and says that his Uncle Bret taught him to make his own opportunities and challenges Finn Balor to a match next week.
Enzo and Cass are with Carmella getting ready for their match.
Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder
Dawson gets things started off right for his team and hits a leg drop. They hit a double team by slamming Enzo into the mat. Enzo is able to hit a knee lift and tag in Cass. Cass sends Wilder out of the ring and a knee to the gut of Dawson. Enzo hits an inverted atomic drop and Cass hits a boot for the quick victory. What is going on tonight?
Match Rating: 1/2*
The Ascension come out after the match and attack all 4 men. Wilder is the one they hit Fall Of Man on. They want Finn Balor and Hideo Itami.
Sami Zayn is out to speak his mind. They show the video package of his road to redemption. He calls out Adrian Neville and asks him for one more chance at the NXT Championship. Neville respects Zayn and says he would give him a rematch any time. William Regal comes out and says that the rematch will happen at NXT TakeOver. Neville refuses to have Zayn put up his career because he doesn't want to end his career. Zayn says that if he can't beat him, he is done.
This was one of the weaker episodes of 2014. Featuring all squash matches and an interview main event, it just didn't really do much for me.
