WWE NXT Results from University of KY:

The show opened with a video recapping how there's just three men left, but Titus O'Neil is dominating the rookie redemption challenges with more points than his other opponents combined. They showed how Derrick Bateman tried to cost Titus a match against Young a few weeks ago, but Titus still managed to win. However, Bateman managed to beat Titus last week in their match. Darren Young was at ringside to give him assistance by grabbing Titus' foot in the corner and congratulated him on the win.

Todd Grisham kicked it off on commentary mentioning Summerslam is less than two weeks away. He sent it to Matt Striker in the ring. Striker introduced Titus O'Neil to the fans. Grisham started talking about Titus' dominance in the competition. Regal said O'Neil has redeemed himself. Striker asked Titus about how he feels about the Bateman Young alliance against him. Titus said he thinks it's cute, because he's dominated the competition up until now. Titus said that his two opponents know their only chance to win is taking him out of it.

Titus tried to do his dog barking chant, but some rock music started up bringing Derrick Bateman and Darren Young out. Bateman said nothing can take away the fact that last week he beat him. Titus told Bateman there's no way he can beat him one on one without help. Darren Young reminded everyone he's competing in NXT all by himself without a pro mentor. Titus suggested they have a tag match right there tonight. Striker polled the audience and they were in favor of the idea. Young said the only way they'll fight Titus tonight is if they can choose his partner.

Titus agreed to it, so Bateman and Young conferred about it. They said they'll face Titus O'Neil and his partner...Matt Striker! Striker tried to protest it saying he hasn't been in the ring in 4 years. Titus said that's just fine, but Striker still wasn't agreeing.
