WWE NXT Results from Mohegan Sun Casino, CT:

They showed highlights of the big shocker that Derrick Bateman from Season 4 would join the competition against finalists Titus O'Neil and Darren Young. On last week's show, Bateman and his pro Daniel Bryan defeated Titus and Young in the main event tag match.

Grisham reminded fans that Money in the Bank is in five days in Chicago. Derrick Bateman came out to start off the show. Bateman went over and shook hands with Regal before getting into the ring to pose. Bateman got on the mic to welcome fans to NXT. Bateman said the WWE begged and pleaded for him to come back and save the show. He said his opponents are seeking redemption, but he's going to redeem redemption. Bateman promised to redeem the entire WWE. The crowd started to boo, and then Darren Young came out to interrupt.

Young asked him who he thinks he is, reminding him of what he's done in the past, main eventing Summerslam, wrestling John Cena on Raw. He told Bateman he's done more in WWE already than Bateman will ever do. He then said Titus O'Neil isn't a D-Young, but at least he's been there all 19 weeks of the competitions. Bateman interrupted to ask why he's defending Titus O'Neil. Hornswoggle's music hit and Titus O'Neil came out to intervene in the convo.

The three rookies got into an argument in the ring, and almost got into a physical confrontation. That brought out Maryse to intervene. She spoke on the mic from the stage, saying the three rooks can try to prove themselves in a Triple Threat Elimination match next.

NXT returned with a shot inside the Mohegan Sun casino looking at the gambling tables in one section. Grisham brought up Money in the Bank and the possible consequences of CM Punk winning Sunday's WWE Championship match at the PPV. They replayed highlights of CM Punk's rants and blunt statements on Raw, then showed the contract signing where Punk asked for perks for his contract. Punk tore apart his contract after getting punched down by Cena on Raw in Boston. Punk has vowed he will defeat Cena on Sunday and take the WWE Championship with him when he leaves.

Hornswoggle was backstage in the locker room staring at a framed picture of Maryse. Bottles of root beer were all over the table. Titus O'Neil came in to ask where Hornswoggle was for his match earlier. He saw Horney staring at the picture and confronted him about it saying he needs to get over her. Just then a man walked in with a package for a Mr. H. Swoggle. It was a small box with candy inside. Horney opened it and started to munch on them, then looked at the picture thinking it was from Maryse. Titus just shook his head trying to tell him it wasn't Maryse who sent them.

Vlad Kozlov was shown talking on his cell phone backstage when JTG came over and got in his face. JTG said he came to see if he was interested in another friendly wager. Kozlov reminded him that he lost their last bet. JTG said this time he bets him that he can't be more gangsta than him. JTG said Kozlov looks scared. Kozlov said he's got a deal, and then erupted with a "Booooooy!" before snapping his fingers in JTG's face. JTG was stunned and asked "what just happened?" as Kozlov walked off.

Yoshi Tatsu vs Tyson Kidd

Yoshi arrived out first followed by Kidd who was proudly wearing his necklace with the Yoshi action figure's leg on it as a pendant. Yoshi had an early advantage until he rolled out of the ring and back in, allowing Kidd to attack.

Yoshi started a comeback with chest chops and a chest take down followed by quick kicks. Yoshi went for a jumping move at Kidd in the corner, with Kidd avoiding it, then jumping back up to slam Yoshi backwards onto the mat. Both guys were down, with Yoshi rolling to the outside holding his head as NXT went to commercial.

NXT returned with Kidd locking Yoshi's neck in the headscissors submission on the mat. He broke it off then did an elbow drop. He tried to send Yoshi to the ropes, with Yoshi coming back for a near fall attempt.

Later still, Yoshi gained momentum again with chest chops and a slingshot of Kidd to the corner, followed by a German suplex bridge pinfall. Kidd kicked out and managed to take out one of Yoshi's legs, then started up his own burst of momentum. Yoshi knocked Kidd out of the ring then prepared for a running jump over the ropes. Kidd was quick up to the apron with a Pele kick to Yoshi's head. He went for a springboard splash elbow drop but Yoshi got both knees up.

The finish saw Kidd try for a moonsault off the corner. Yoshi moved out of the way and Kidd hit the mat. Yoshi followed with a backwards bridge pinfall rollup to win it. He went over and retrieved the necklace with his action figure leg on it from the corner of the ring. Yoshi raised it up in victory, but Kidd smashed him down, grabbed the necklace/chain and escaped the ring. Yoshi angrily looked out at Kidd as he backed up the ramp.

Winner: Yoshi Tatsu wins via pinfall over Tyson Kidd.
