WWE NXT Results 08/03/10

NXT Results from Laredo, TX:

They opened with highlights from last week's elimination as the latest WWE Poll was revealed. Eli Cottonwood came in last, and when asked for comments he attacked his fellow NXT rookies. He finally walked backstage and shoved his pro John Morrison on the way, before rushing back down to the ringside area to attack NXT rookies again.

Michael Cole and Josh Matthews were on hand for the open, 2 weeks away from Summerslam. Striker was in the ring to welcome everyone before introducing each of the remaining six NXT rookies: Alex Riley, Kaval, Percy Watson, Lucky Cannon, Michael McGillicutty and Husky Harris. They all joined Striker in the ring. Striker said tonight the rookies are going to compete in a kissing contest. He then had Team LayCool come to the ring. They got out of the chairs on the stage and put on extra lipstick.

LayCool got in the ring to give the rules saying each of them has to kiss the longest, most passionate and softest. Husky Harris went first with Michelle saying Harris had to sweep her off her feet. Michelle told Harris to close his eyes and pucker up, but then said no it won't be LayCool they get to kiss, it's the 1993 Homecoming queen Margarita. The overweight woman came down who appeared to have all sorts of blemishes on her face.

Harris leaned Margarita back and kissed her quick, then started falling against the ropes gagging. McGillicutty went second and licked her face then fell against the ropes next. Lucky Cannon went third and seemed to woo the crowd and LayCool. Next up was Percy Watson who removed his glasses first. Michelle had to push Watson into her face. LayCool had their rookie Kaval go next, but Layla grabbed him and planted one on him that sent him stumbling back. They still made him kiss Margarita and he downed a bunch of Tic Tacs after. The final kisser was Alex Riley and he planted a long kiss on her before falling back to the mat. Margarita chose Lucky as the winning kisser. LayCool told the rookies they won halitosis, gingavitis, cooties and athlete's foot.

Kaval vs. Husky Harris

A rematch from just last week took place with LayCool on the apron as well as Cody Rhodes. Matthews noted another voting period opens on WWE.com until next week. During the match, Kaval managed to jump up on Harris' shoulders before dropkicking him. Harris fell to the outside, so Kaval tried to dive over the ropes onto him. Harris caught Kaval and slammed him into the crowd barrier.

In the closing moments, Kaval had Harris in the corner and did a cartwheel towards him then tried to jump at Harris. Harris avoided it and Kaval hit the corner. From there, Harris slammed Kaval down and then did his running Senton Bomb to win it. Cody Rhodes seemed pleased with his rookie and got in the ring to raise his arm.

Winner: Husky Harris wins via pinfall over Kaval.

They rolled out The Miz talking about NXT rookie Michael McGillicutty. Miz said that he seems to want to follow in 'daddy's footsteps' but it's not that easy to get into WWE.

Ashley Valence interviewed Michael McGillicutty and Kofi Kingston backstage. She asked McGill about The Miz's comments. McGill said The Miz calling him mediocre means nothing and tonight he's going to shut him up in the ring. Just then, Lucky Cannon arrived in saying he plans to do something about Miz tonight. McGill told him to wait his turn, but Lucky wouldn't back down so they got in each other's faces.

The Miz piped up from the stage with a mic in his hand. He said as usual the focus is all on him. Miz told Lucky and McGill they could fight each other and then maybe the winner could face him. Kofi Kingston told Miz to put his money where his mouth is. Kofi said Lucky and McGillicutty fight tonight and then Miz faces the winner, tonight. Miz got upset and agreed to it, saying he'll eat them alive.

When NXT returned, Matthews and Cole reviewed the upcoming Summerslam 2010 PPV matches. They include Rey Mysterio vs Kane for the World Heavyweight title and Sheamus vs Randy Orton with the WWE title on the line. Also Team WWE faces Team Nexus in a 7-on-7 elimination match.

Matt Striker was up on stage to ask which pro on NXT is doing the worst job on the show. Kofi suggested that LayCool is doing the worst job of them all because they put Kaval in a pink snuggie. LayCool said its Kofi Kingston because WWE Universe loved Kaval's pink Flawless T. Mark Henry said the worst pro is the guy with the first elimination, Zack Ryder. Cody Rhodes said its the guy whose Intercontinental title he's going to take away, Kofi Kingston. Zack Ryder got up to give his thoughts but was interrupted by The Miz. Miz said all of the other Pros are the worst. Miz and Morrison got into a shouting match which Miz eventually overtook. He told them to sit back and watch as he guides his rookie to a win next. Riley arrived out to the ring before commercial.
