WWE NXT Results 04/26/11

NXT Results from Greensboro, NC:

Todd Grisham was on hand for commentary, opening by saying 30 different superstars were drafted to new rosters. Grisham noted his broadcast colleague, William Regal, was drafted today from Raw to Smackdown. Grisham sent it to the ring with hosts Matt Striker and Maryse.

Maryse introduced the six rookies and their pros. Byron Saxton, Conor O'Brien, Darren Young, Jacob Novak, Lucky Cannon and Titus O'Neil all headed to the ring while the pros stayed up on stage to watch. Titus has 13 redemption points to lead, while Darren Young has 7.

Tonight's first competition for the rookies was worth 4 points called "How Well Do You Know Your Pro?" First question, pros had to write on a dry erase board what their rookie does better than the rest. Saxton and Conor got theirs wrong. Darren Young got on the mic saying he doesn't care what Chavo said, and he thinks he's a better wrestler than him. They gave Novak the first correct answer even though they were different. Lucky Cannon and Titus were both wrong.

In the end of this contest, Jacob Novak won because he had the only correct answer of the 2 rounds. Novak wins 4 redemption points.

Regal and Grisham talked over how Novak has been on his case, and crossed the line in England last week.

Titus O'Neil vs. Darren Young

Young went over at Hornswoggle on the apron early on, but then Horney goosed him. Titus took control after that with several power moves including a bodyslam for the near fall.

Young got a figure four leglock on Titus, and asked Chavo for some outside help. Young eventually released the hold and then started to look out at Chavo. Chavo told him you don't release the hold. When Young turned back around, Titus grabbed him for the sit-out powerbomb slam to win it.

Winner: Titus O'Neil wins via pinfall over Darren Young.

WWE.com is currently presenting a digital edition of WWE Magazine on their website.

Jacob Novak & JTG were introduced to the crowd and got in the ring. They showed the incident between Novak and Regal last week, with Novak shoving Regal at ringside. Regal said the signal meant if he messes with me he'll be scarred for life. JTG did his "aka" introduction for Novak to a flat crowd reaction. Novak got on the mic and reminded Regal he embarrassed him in front of his entire country. He said Regal's career is over while Novak's is just getting started.

Regal stood up and got a mic to respond. Regal told him he's not going to let a pathetic muppet like him talk trash without doing something about it. Regal said he'll take his jacket, climb in the ring and have a match right now. Regal prepared to get in the ring, but Novak got back on the mic. He asked several times if Regal wants to fight, then said it's not gonna happen, because he's got a real match scheduled. Novak said when they fight it will be on his terms, next week.

Vladimir Kozlov & Conor O'Brian vs. Jacob Novak & JTG

Kozlov took control early on against Novak, then tagged in Conor for some double teaming takedown. Regal called JTG a waste of space in the WWE.

After a break in the action, Novak and JTG were able to team up on O'Brian. The ref warned them about a possible DQ for not backing off on him. They kept working the in and out tags and doubleteam to wear Conor down. Novak kept O'Brian down in an armlock with the crowd trying to rally Conor to break it.

O'Brian finally made the hot tag to Kozlov who did his chest headbutt multiple times, before a huge slam for the near fall. JTG came in to break it up, but Kozlov tossed him out through the ropes. Conor O'Brian tagged in. Novak managed to knock Kozlov out of the match, then ducked O'Brian's attempt to boot him down for the win.

Post-match, JTG and Novak taunted Regal through the ropes.

Winners: Jacob Novak & JTG win via pinfall over Vladimir Kozlov & Conor O'Brian.

The Awesome "Kharma" Kong promo from last night's Raw was shown again during a commercial break during the above tag match.

The Raw Rebound covered 2011 WWE Draft starting with John Cena drafted at #1 to Smackdown after Team Smackdown won a 20-Man Battle Royal. Other picks included Rey Mysterio and Big Show to Raw. Randy Orton and Sin Cara to SmackDown. Alberto Del Rio to Raw, Mark Henry to Smackdown. In the final match of the night, a six man tag match, Team Raw defeated Cena's Team Smackdown. The final pick of the night sent John Cena back to Raw.

Grisham said the draft continued today on WWE.com, but none of the draft moves will affect this Sunday's Extreme Rules PPV. He and Regal ran down the list of matches for the card.

Backstage, Maryse was walking fast down the hallway saying she needed to talk to Yoshi. She told him that the purse he bought her is gone and someone stole it. She started talking in French, then suggested maybe it was "him." Yoshi asked if it was Lucky? Maryse started to walk off. Yoshi went down the hall and found Byron Saxton, asking if he saw Lucky. Saxton said he'll be facing him in the ring next if Yoshi really wants to find him. He complained that he wished Yoshi would spend half as much time as he does with Maryse, acting as his NXT pro. Byron left for the match, leaving Yoshi standing alone in the hall.

Byron Saxton vs. Lucky Cannon

Maryse was seated at ringside to watch the match. Lucky walked over to Maryse saying he had nothing to do with it. Maryse wasn't hearing it though. Yoshi angrily said something from near the ropes to him.

Cannon gained control during the match, as he kneed Saxton against the middle ropes to choke him. He followed by whipping him hard to the corner. Saxton fell to the mat, where Lucky hit two huge leg drops and then settled into a headlock.

Todd Grisham mentioned that Tyson Kidd and Yoshi Tatsu were both involved in today's WWE draft moves.

Saxton started a comeback, and eventually hit a huge clothesline from off the corner area. He had a rollup near fall with Lucky kicking out. Byron had an impressive slam move to the mat for a near fall, with Kidd rushing over to put Lucky's leg on the ropes. Yoshi came over and tossed Kidd against the crowd barrier. Lucky dropkicked Yoshi through the ropes. Lucky went over and told Maryse he had nothing to do with it.

Yoshi got back up and went over to chase Lucky. Lucky slid under the ropes into the ring, with Yoshi going after him. Yoshi started to beat him up so the ref called for the bell.

Post-match, Saxton was livid over Yoshi interfering, so he hit a finishing move to flatten him on the mat. Lucky walked up behind Saxton, grabbed him and hit a unique slam move with Saxton on his shoulders. He looked over at Maryse to see if she was impressed. Maryse kept smirking as NXT went off the air.

Winner: Lucky Cannon wins due to DQ of Byron Saxton when Yoshi Tatsu interfered.
