WWE NXT Results 02/01/11

NXT Results from Long Island, NY:

Striker introduced all of the rookie/pro pairings left: Bateman/Bryan, Saxton/Ziggler, Curtis/Truth and Clay without Del Rio. Striker asked Ricardo Rodriguez where Del Rio is. He told him that Del Rio has had so much to do since winning the Royal Rumble, that he couldn't be there tonight.

Striker had the first contest of the night ready to go, the arm wrestling contest for 3 immunity points. Curtis defeated Saxton quick in the first matchup. Next up, Clay went against Bateman as Rodriguez talked at 100mph. Clay won easily. In the finals, Clay went against Curtis, but he ended up using a headbutt on him. Curtis was awarded the competition and two immunity points.

Chris Masters vs. Byron Saxton

The former pro and rookie pairing squared off. In the late moments of this contest, Masters overpowered Saxton and leveled him with a big clothesline. He followed with a Spinebuster, then signaled for the Masterlock. Masters locked the hold on his former rookie while Ziggler waved his towel around. The match was awarded to Masters.

Winner: Chris Masters wins via submission over Byron Saxton.

They showed an earlier segment from backstage where Daniel Bryan was trying to teach Derrick Bateman about submission holds. Bateman said he just doesn't get it. Gail Kim walked in, and Bryan said she'll show Bateman the guillotine hold. Bateman said girls don't know about submission wrestling. Gail put the hold on Bateman who soon passed out on the floor. Bryan said it was "hot" then made out with Kim as Bateman was trying to recover on the floor.

After commercials, BRodus Clay was in the ring with Ricardo Rodrigeuz talking to him non-stop. Time for Clay to face his former pro, Ted Dibiase. Dibiase arrived for the match without girlfirend Maryse, but she showed up and went nearby the commentators.

Brodus Clay vs Ted Dibiase

During the match, Maryse gave her number to Grisham as part of a ploy. As Dibiase was being manhandled by Clay in the ring, Maryse pulled her cell phone out and snapped a picture of the action in the ring.

Clay was dominating the match as Maryse posed in front of the ring and shot another picture. Dibiase managed to clip Clay by hitting him in the knee. However, Dibiase became distracted as Maryse pretended she was going to kiss Todd Grisham. Instead she slapped Grisham. Clay hit a huge powerslam on Dibiase to get the victory.

Winner: Brodus Clay wins via pinfall over Ted Dibiase.

Another backstage segment featured Saxton trying to talk trash about R-Truth to Johnny Curtis. He told Curtis that Truth is talking bad about him behind his back. Curtis told Saxton that he and Truth are friends, but they're not. Saxton said Curtis can deny it all he wants but he knows the true story.

Time for the next competition. This time they had a "Talk the Talk Challenge." The live Long Island crowd would play the role of judges for each rookie's in-ring speech. Saxton talked about WWE Pros, and mocked R-Truth's rap song. Truth came back by doing his original song and Ziggler said they sounded the same. Next up, Bateman dissed Dolph Ziggler saying he has the face of a worn-out catcher's mit. He said Ziggler's name was formerly, Turd Ferguson, which got the crowd into a silly "Turd" chant.

Curtis talked about Chris Masters, but said he can't follow up Bateman's impressive speech. Instead, Curtis slapped Clay in the face, then escaped the ring to hide near the commentators.

Finally, Brodus Clay talked about US Champion, Daniel Bryan. He made a remark that Bryan needs to bring Gail Kim to his apartment so he can show her what a real man is like. Bryan responded that a real man isn't a fat man. Clay gave a mean stare in Bryan's direction.

Striker surveyed the crowd which gave the biggest applause to Bateman, giving him the immunity points for "Talk the Talk."

They showed the Raw Rebound. It featured last night's "Raw Rumble Match" with John Cena, John Morrison, CM Punk, Randy Orton, R-Truth, Sheamus and Jerry Lawler battling it out for the chance to face The Miz at the Elimination Chamber PPV. Punk was eliminated by Orton, Orton by R-Truth. It came down to Cena, Sheamus and Lawler. Cena was on the apron and Sheamus shoved Lawler into Cena causing him to be eliminated. The winner was Jerry Lawler after Sheamus rushed at him with a Brogh Kick and John Cena pulled the ropes down outside the ring. Lawler goes on to face Miz for the title at Elimination Chamber, while the other six guys will compete in the actual Elimination Chamber match at the Pay-Per-View.

Josh Matthews and Todd Grisham talked about Jerry Lawler vs The Miz for the world title at Elimination Chamber PPV.

R-Truth arrived doing the "What's Up" entrance theme song allowing crowd members to particpate in the chorus. NXT Rookie Johnny Curtis was with him. Ricardo Rodriguez did some "Que Pasa's" as part of it.

Johnny Curtis & R-Truth vs. Daniel Bryan & Derrick Bateman

Early on R-Truth did a few hip tosses on Bateman to take control of things. The commentators talked about how Curtis and Bateman both won some immunity points earlier tonight. The two rookies ended up squaring off and getting into a bit of a brawl on the outside of the ring. NXT took a break as the pro's separated their rookies.

Back from break, Curtis was putting Bryan in a headlock in the ring. Matthews reminded fans that there will be an elimination next week. Voting opens tomorrow at 12PM EST on WWE.com. Curtis and Bryan ended up trading forearm uppercuts at one point with Bryan gaining control.

The action broke down with Truth jumping onto Bateman outside the ring. Curtis missed on his leg drop off the corner. Daniel Bryan managed to lock Curtis into the Labell Lock on the mat making him tap out.

Winners: Derrick Bateman and Daniel Bryan win via pinfall over R-Truth and Johnny Curtis.
