NXT Taping Results (1/23, 1/30 and 2/6) *SPOILERS*

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

I know there's already the thread for the new championship in NXT, but this is for the rest of the show too.

Source: ringsidexcess.com/2013/01/10/spoilers-wwe-nxt-taping-results-for-1-23-1-30-and-2-6/ (I know they're new and unknown, but various tweets on Twitter from people live at the show back these results up)

Dark Matches

* WWE United States Champion Antonio Cesaro b. Justin Gabriel with an uppercut in a non-title match. After the match, Cesaro delivered a Neutralizer to Gabriel for good measure.
* Natalya b. Emma with the Sharpshooter.

1/23 Results

* The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan) b. Percy Watson and Yoshi Tatsu when Luke Harper steamrolled Watson with a clothesline to advance in the WWE NXT Tag Team Championship tournament.
* Sasha Banks b. Alicia Fox with her finisher.
* Corey Graves b. Jake Carter with the Fuller Lock. After the match, Graves cuts a promo about being screwed out of a NXT Championship rematch and being excluded from the tournament to crown the first-ever NXT Tag Team Champions. Graves says management better be watching him and tells Alex Riley that he’ll see him next week.
* Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey b. 3MB (Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater; no sign of Jinder Mahal) when Neville hit a corkscrew from the top rope on McIntyre to advance in the WWE NXT Tag Team Championship tournament.
* WWE NXT Champion Big E Langston b. Axl Keegan with the Big Ending in a quick non-title match. After the match, Langston went to hit another Big Ending on Keegan and was about to do the 5 count, but was interrupted by Conor O’Brian on the titantron. O’Brian promises Langston that in 2 weeks, everyone will see what the 5 count means to him. Langston carried on with the 5 count and delivered a few more Big Endings which the crowd ate up to close the show.

1/30 Results

* Kassius Ohno and Leo Kruger b. Alex Riley and Derrick Bateman when Ohno made Riley tap out to a chinlock to advance in the WWE NXT Tag Team Championship tournament. After the match, Corey Graves came out and attacked Riley from behind but was quickly chased away by Bateman.
* Mason Ryan b. Sakamoto with a jackhammer.
* Paige b. Aksana with a cloverleaf. The crowd erupted when Paige’s music started. After the match, Summer Rae entered the ring and laid out Paige before leaving through the crowd.
* Bo Dallas and Michael McGillicutty b. Epico and Primo w/Rosa Mendes when Dallas hit a scoop slam on Primo to advance in the WWE NXT Tag Team Championship tournament to close the show.

2/6 Results

* Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey b. Kassius Ohno and Leo Kruger when Neville hit a corkscrew from the top rope on Kruger to advance in the WWE NXT Tag Team Championship tournament. Grey and Neville will face the winner of the Bo Dallas/Michael McGillicutty vs. The Wyatt Family match in the finals at the next taping.
* “The Ascension” Conor O’Brian b. Mike Dalton with a dropkick. O’Brian was announced with the Ascension term as a new nickname. After the match, O’Brian mocked WWE NXT Champion Big E Langston’s trademark 5 count which led to Langston coming out to confront O’Brian. In an attempt to one-up O’Brian, Langston hits the Big Ending on Dalton. It is announced that Langston will defend the NXT Championship against O’Brian at the next tapings.
* Xavier Woods b. El Local with Culture Shock.
* The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan) b. Bo Dallas and Michael McGillicutty when Luke Harper clotheslines McGillicutty following a distraction by Bray Wyatt to advance in the WWE NXT Tag Team Championship tournament. The Wyatt Family will face the team of Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey in the finals at the next taping. After the match, Bray enters the ring and extends his hand to his brother Bo, but Bo smacks his hand away. Erick Rowan and Luke Harper surround the ring to distract Bo as he gets hit with a splash by Bray. The Wyatts lay out Bo.

So in a month Conor O'Brian will win the NXT Championship, to immediately be called up with a completely different gimmick than The Ascension...

[CMWaters]

Hmm, so Connor is now a one man Ascension, I see. Interesting.

At least he's not being punished for his partner's stupidity.

As a heel, no less.

I dunno, for the most part Langston is the same on WWE as he is in NXT.

Maybe a little more charismatic, but still.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Glad the Ascension gimmick hasn't been shitcanned, but I'd prefer it if they had put someone else into the team.

What's with some of these finishes? An uppercut? A clothesline? A scoop slam? What is this, the 1987 Survivor Series?

A chinlock. I had to re-read that several times

[joebob27]

It's to make Mason Ryan's jackhammer look even more jackhammery.

[CMWaters]

It's going to be strange to type some of these names in the Win-Loss records when they come up.

Mason Ryan, Alex Riley and Sakamoto...names I didn't think would be on the 2013 list.

a European uppercut, which many are saying should be his main finish. A lariat most likely. And WWE frequently refers to a snap powerslam as a scoop slam.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Some post taping goofiness:

* WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels comes out to the ring. He puts over the entire NXT roster and talks about the NXT Tag Team Championship, saying he was once a Tag Team Champion and it’s one of the biggest honors of his career. Fans chant for Triple H and Michaels says he’s busy right now. Triple H comes out moments later, but heads to the back and comes back out to Degeneration X music.
* Michaels and Triple H exchange stories and talk about their hair problems. Eventually fans started to chant for Kevin Nash, who came out. The three of them chatted before DX music interrupted and out came Billy Gunn and X-Pac. Fans wondered where Road Dogg was and Triple H responded by saying he’s at home. Damien Sandow interrupted the DX-Kliq reunion, but they barely paid attention to him.
* Triple H eventually apologizes to Sandow on behalf of them all and asks him to do his cartwheel so they can apologize and then end the event. Sandow takes off his robe and Triple H asks that the audience does a drumroll. Sandow does the cartwheel and is immediately hit afterwards with a Sweet Chin Music from Michaels. Everyone but Michaels leaves the ring. Michaels closes things out by saying if you’re not down with that, we got two words for ya and fans say “suck it!”.

Well, the uppercut is from Antonio Cesaro, so it could have been Swiss Death or any of the other flippy variations that are plenty credible as a finish.

Yeah, the uppercut by Cesaro is a pretty bad ass finisher.

That was probably one of Ohno's cravates, Hangman's Clutch III I'd wager.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Riley is so much better than this. He should be in the upper midcard, not jobbing to developmental guys. The NXTers and WWE guys ahould be kept separate, because it's a no win situation, especially when titles are involved.. The WWE guys can't win the belts because it's beneath even the lowest jobbers to do so, and they can't lose to the NXT guys because it makes the main roster guys look weak when they lose to guys who are essentially the minor leagues. WWE guys should only wrestle WWE guys and NXT guys should only wrestle NXT guys.

[Timmy8271]

Great show tonight. On the last taping, Neville actually hit his finisher on Ohno, not Kruger. They really made Neville a star in my eyes tonight. The people go nuts for his finisher.

The final stuff with the Kliq/DX reunion was so so great. One of the best things I've seen live as a wrestling fan. Sandow almost broke character when they were talking about HBK's assless chaps.

Ah, jeez, my youth. At least they all look pretty good for their age. Well, except X-Pac.

[froggyfrog]

I like the tapings. I like how O'Brien is sticking with the gimmick, maybe he'll find a partner, maybe he won't need to. I like the addition of Tag Titles and how they have finals consisting of only NXT people and no main roster guys. I like how Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns are kind of out of things now that they got called up.

Good tapings bro propst
