New Day came out with all three guys holding miss. In the ring, they called out Baltimore Orioles star Adam Jones who stood up in the front row holding up a replica championship belt. New Day got the crowd heat by reminding Baltimore they haven’t won the title in 32 years. They tried for the New Day Rocks chant, but the crowd added in sucks. Kidd and Cesaro came to the ring.

Kidd & Cesaro took the first fall by pinfall about 2:48 into the match after hitting a double team Big Swing and basement dropkick combo on Kofi. After that, Xavier Woods got on the apron to run interference. Natalya yanked him off the apron and then Kidd or Cesaro dove out to take Woods down.

Rusev vs. John Cena - WWE U.S. Championship I Quit Match - TBD in progress...


Early on in the match, Rusev got the mic to ask Cena if he wanted to quit before they even started. Cena shrugged him off and went for the attack. Later on, the crowd chanted "We Want Lana" which irritated Rusev, causing him to go to ringside, grab a steel chair and make her sit near the commentary table as punishment.

Later on in the match, Cena took control and beat up Rusev on the ramp. The ref asked Rusev if he wanted to quit and he yelled “No” as he was catching his breath. Cena grabbed a guard rail and rushed down the ramp to jab Rusev in the gut with it. Cena set it up against the ring and went for the AA but Rusev slid off and supplied Cena on top of it instead. Both men were down and the ref asked Cena, but he said “Hell no.” Rusev put The Accolade on Cena, but Cena managed to power up with Rusev on his back. Rusev kept it locked on him as Cena looked to be fading. He got up and rammed Rusev back first into the turnbuckle, but Rusev kept the hold on as Cena fell back to the mat with Rusev still on him.

Cena passed out so he couldn’t say “I Quit” to the ref. An angry Rusev went over the turnbuckle and disconnected the top ring rope. Rusev went to the outside and grabbed a bottled water to pour on Cena to wake him up. Rusev took the free metal turnbuckle piece attached to the rope and went to hit Cena, but Cena ducked it and then put an STF on Rusev with the top rope pulling against Rusev’s face. Lana stood up from her ringside seat and screamed into the ring as she saw Rusev screaming in pain with the ring rope pulled against his eyes. Lana yelled at the ref then crawled into the ring and grabbed the mic yelling “He quits, he quits!” The ref called for the bell. The commentators reviewed the footage with Rusev yelling something in Bulgarian and then Lana got into the ring to say I quit for him.

Winner: John Cena won the I Quit match against Rusev to retain the US Championship.

The commentators made note that Naomi pinned the WWE Divas Champion in the match.

Winners: Tamina & Naomi defeated The Bella Twins via pinfall.

During a backstage interview, Byron Saxton informed New Day they are going to defend the titles in the first ever Elimination Chamber Tag Team title match. New Day was shocked asking how that would work, saying “that’s not happening.”

Neville vs. King Barrett

Late in the match, Neville went for Red Arrow but Barrett rolled out of the ring to avoid the move. Neville adjusted himself on the top rope and leapt out for a big splash onto Barrett on the outside. Neville seemed to tweak his knee on the fall though. He limped back in the ring to beat the ref’s count by 8. Barrett was still on the outside and about to get in at nine, but decided not to and got counted out. Post-match, Barrett shrugged off the boos and started walking up the ramp. Neville had his arm raised in the ring and Barrett rushed in to attack, eventually beating him up on the outside.

On the outside, Orton tore apart the commentary table and set up for a move with Rollins. Ambrose and Reigns got involved and helped Rollins to hit a Triple Powerbomb on Orton, causing Cole to yell out about The Shield seeming to be back together. Rollins put his arms around Ambrose and Reigns then put a fist out for them to put theirs with. Ambrose and Reigns jawed at him, then punched Rollins with Cole exclaiming, “one time only.” Kane tried to help out Rollins but Ambrose and Reigns got the upperhand and then powerbombed Kane on top of Rollins on the Spanish commentary table. The table didn’t break. A huge “one more time” chant broke out so Ambrose and Reigns obliged them, picking up Kane again to this time smash him through Rollins and the table.

Reigns and Ambrose played buddy-buddy for a few moments, but then realized they were the only two competitors on their feet. Ambrose slid into the ring and prepared for a fight. Reigns came in and they jawed at each other for a bit before throwing punches back and forth. Reigns hit a power bomb for a near fall. The two traded near falls with Reigns having one after a Superman Punch. Reigns hit a huge spear moments later and had a pinfall but Rollins rushed in to break up the pin.

The heels gained control as Aksana tagged Alicia in to work on AJ.

AJ managed to avoid a charging Maxine in the corner, so Maxine hit shoulder first into the corner. AJ tagged in a Bella who started taking it to Maxine. The Bella scored a faceplant on Maxine, but Aksana rushed in to break up the pin. The action broke down with Aksana, Alicia Fox and one of the Bellas all ending up outside the ring. Maxine was still legal against a Bella and shoved her to the corner where AJ managed to tag in blindly. AJ got up on the corner and hit a flying bodypress to score the winning pinfall. Primo rushed to the ring to congratulate his former rookie. AJ jumped up to straddle hug Primo, then he gave her a kiss in the ring.

Winners: AJ & The Bella Twins win via pinfall over Maxine, Aksana and Alicia Fox.

The Masterpiece Chris Masters was introduced as the next pro for NXT Season 4. His cocky, brash and young rookie is Byron Saxton, who was also a commentator for ECW.

NXT returned with Maryse and Ted Dibiase backstage. Dibiase said he'll be a pro for Season 4 to coach his rookie Brodus Clay. Clay is 6'8", 350 lbs. He said he's the world's biggest suplex machine. Cole said he's the former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg, the "Mastedon of Mayhem."

Striker was in the ring with the two finalists Naomi and Kaitlyn. He said it's time for a diva trash talk face-off where each diva rookie talks themselves up and trash talks the other diva down. Kaitlyn talked about how Naomi is the most athletic and talented of the rookies, but she lacks one thing that can't be taught: personality. Naomi said the time is now and she's ready to be a diva now. Naomi said she just wants to thank the WWE Universe for the experience. Striker came over to say now that they've squared off verbally, they'll face off in a match, next.

---

Kaitlyn vs. Naomi

Early on, Kaitlyn started goofing off doing the robot, so Naomi mocked her dancing. Kaitlyn rushed her and went for a surprise schoolboy pin. Kaitlyn used an airplane spin to throw Naomi across the ring, which also made Kaitlyn dizzy. Naomi made a comeback though and used her butt bump to knock down Kaitlyn. Moments later, Kaitlyn tossed Naomi to the mat for a near fall.

Cole and Matthews pretended they were bored with Cole whistling, saying he was trying to get emotionally involved in the match, but it was tough to do. Cole made an apology for not mentioning Harley Race as a former KOTR winner last night. Matthews noted that Don Muraco also wasn't mentioned.

Both divas ended up on the outside, with Kaitlyn using a catapult move to launch Naomi towards the ring. Kaitlyn settled into a leg scissors in the ring to wear down Naomi. Naomi eventually got out and started to gain momentum with a variety of takedowns. Cole yelled to the ref to count faster. Kaitlyn went for a move off the corner, but met a boot to the face from Naomi.

Winner:

Post-match, Vickie got up to make another speech. She said she wanted to introduce one of the WWE Pro's for Season 4, her boyfriend Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler arrived out to the stage in street clothes, to say he'll represent Jacob Novak.

Striker had the pros convene up on stage to talk over the voting for the NXT Season 3 Finals between Kaitlyn and Naomi.

---

Cole reminded fans that one week from Monday will be the 2010 Slammy Awards on a special 3-hour Raw in New Orleans, LA.

They showed the Raw Rebound which recapped Miz's speech as the new WWE Champion, and Lawler interrupting to talk about how Miz won after 7 guys attacked Orton. The Raw GM eventually got involved in their argument, ordering Miz to defend the title against Lawler in a TLC match for Raw's main event. Later on the two fought it out, with things going wrong for Miz despite Alex Riley trying to help out.

Lawler was up on the ladder with Miz having crashed through a table on the outside. Michael Cole left his announce position to go try to help Miz up. Eventually, Cole got into the ring and grabbed Lawler's leg to prevent him from reaching to get the WWE Title down. That prompted Lawler to drop down, confront Cole and eventually punch him down. Meanwhile, The Miz made the climb up the ladder. Lawler rushed back up the other side but was eventually clocked in the face by the belt, so Miz was able to retain his title.

Cole reiterated he'll try to contact Lawler privately about this matter, but will address it at length on WWE Raw.

The next pro introduced was former NXT rookie, Daniel Bryan. His NXT season 4 rookie is Derrick Bateman from Cleveland, Ohio. Bateman describes himself as "Man-tastic." Cole joked maybe Bateman can teach Bryan how to be a man.

Striker was back up on stage with the other four eliminated NXT divas, Jamie Keys, AJ, Maxine and Aksana. Striker asked the four former competitors who they thought should win. Jamie and Maxine were both in favor of Naomi, while AJ said she wants her best friend Kaitlyn to win. Striker asked Aksana who she thought should win, and she asked Striker if he's single. Goldust chimed in telling Aksana to shut her mouth since nobody can understand her. Aksana said she thinks WWE Universe wants her to be winner of NXT.

---

Matthews reminded fans to watch tonight's episode and other past episodes on WWE.com, YouTube and Hulu.

The next Season 4 Pro is Alberto Del Rio and he will coach rookie Conor O'Brian. O'Brian said it's a "dog eat dog world" and you have to fight for yourself out there.

Time for the final elimination to determine the Season 4 NXT Winner between Naomi and Kaitlyn. Striker had both rookie divas in the ring for the big announcement. They showed the Titantron with both their pictures flashing back and forth until finally it stopped on Kaitlyn as the Season 3 winner of NXT. Kaitlyn is the next breakout diva. She dropped to her knees in excitement then gave Naomi a hug.

Striker asked Naomi to give her thoughts. She said it's bittersweet she wished she had won, but everyone worked hard so she's happy for Kaitlyn. Time for Kaitlyn to give her acceptance speech. Kaitlyn even thanked her "ridiculous pro, Vickie Guerrero." Kaitlyn said she hopes fans will cheer her for who she is and who she will be. Kaitlyn thanked Aksana and her friend AJ. She tried to start up an "Aksana sucks" chant but didn't get it going. Cole called that move "classy."

Other pros, Goldust, Alicia Fox, Primo and Bellas got in the ring to congratulate Kaitlyn. AJ rushed to the ring to hug her friend, and other rookie divas joined them. Cole said he's out of there. No big attack scene to close out the season like Season 2. They showed a replay of Kaitlyn and Vickie's reactions to the announcement of Kaitlyn winning to close the show.

AJ won the competition easily with 1300 points to Naomi's 100 and Kaitlyn's 0 points.

Kaitlyn vs. Nikki Bella

Kaitlyn's pro mentor Vickie Guerrero was ringside for coaching. Kaitlyn tried to give her her trucker hat to hold but Vickie tossed it. Early on, Nikki had the advantage as she used several moves to take down Kaitlyn including a huge dropkick to the legs.

At one point, Nikki tried to work on Kaitlyn's hurt left leg. She locked in a submission to wear down Kaitlyn on the mat. Nikki eventually put the match away, despite Kaitlyn's comeback attempts. Vickie screamed at Kaitlyn post-match since she lost again.

Winner: Nikki Bella wins via pinfall over Kaitlyn.

They showed highlights of last night's episode of Raw which featured John Cena's farewell speech to the WWE Universe. Also on last night's Raw, Cena screwed Barrett out of winning the WWE Title in his rematch against Randy Orton, and The Miz cashed in his MITB contract to become new WWE Champion.

Naomi vs. AJ

Second match of the night was a rookie versus rookie matchup. Kelly Kelly was on hand for her rookie and Primo escorted AJ to the ring for the match. They showed AJ using an impressive submission hold to finish off Aksana last week.

AJ seemed to hurt her lower back at one point, then got back in the ring. The two diva rookies shook hands, but then Naomi gained control as she landed a dropkick to the back of AJ. She followed with a huge legdrop for a near fall pin. Moments later, Naomi hit an enziguiri kick but still couldn't capture the pinfall. She used a surfboard submission for a while, but Matthews said Naomi's shoulders were down. AJ escaped it and turned it into a pinfall, but Naomi tossed her away.

AJ managed to land a spinning Tilt-a-whirl DDT in the middle of the ring. However, she was slow to go over for the pinfall and Naomi kicked out. AJ kept building the minimum. There were multiple kickouts with Cole and Matthews calling it the best match of the season. AJ started to go for a headscissors spin, but turned it into something else. Again AJ locked "The Octopus" submission onto Naomi just like she did to Aksana last week, to grab another big win by submission.

Winner: AJ wins via submission over Naomi.

---

The final competition of the evening for the rookie divas was "Last Sumo Standing." All of the rookie divas were introduced once again, but they each came out wearing those fake sumo suits. Vickie was upset at how Kaitlyn rolled down the ramp jokingly. Striker told AJ she has a bye to the finals, so Kaitlyn went against Naomi in the yellow circle in the ring. The object was to push your opponent out of the circle. Naomi tried to push Kaitlyn but ended up falling over and landing outside the circle. Friends Kaitlyn and AJ faced off in the finals AJ got Kaitlyn down on the mat but couldn't quite move her out of the yellow circle. Since they were both down on the mat for so long, they did a restart with both divas standing again. This time, Kaitlyn won it.

Matt Striker introduced the four remaining NXT divas Naomi, Kaitlyn, Aksana and AJ. Tonight there will be another elimination. He congratulated Kaitlyn and AJ for winning competitions last week.

The first competition of the night was "How well do you know your WWE Pro?" Striker would ask a question, the rookie diva's pro would write an answer down, and the rookie would say their answer to see if they matched. First question was "When I first saw my rookie diva, I thought she was BLANK?" AJ, Naomi and Aksana got theirs right, but Kaitlyn did not.

The next question was "On a scale of 1 to 5, how would you rate your rookie's in ring ability? 1 being terrible, 5 being expert." Naomi and AJ got theirs right. The final question "Who does your rookie feel should be eliminated?" AJ got it right and ended up winning the competition. Cole and Matthews held up their own signs with one of Matthews' reading "I'm with Stupid," and Cole's reading "Eliminate Me."

Naomi vs. Kaitlyn

Kelly was already on the apron with her rookie Naomi. Vickie arrived out from backstage saying how ungrateful her rookie is but she still has a match tonight against Naomi. Vickie walked to ringside to support Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn took the early advantage and worked a leg scissors on Naomi to wear her down on the mat. Naomi turned it into a pinfall which Kaitlyn escaped. Naomi tried to start up a comeback, but Kaitlyn clotheslined her down and put a headlock on.

They showed the highlight video of fans in Atlanta getting their tickets for Wrestlemania 27. It takes place on April 3, 2011 in Atlanta, GA. Cole said people from a variety of countries have already got their tickets.

AJ vs. Aksana

AJ was accompanied to the ring by Primo while Goldust started down the ramp with Aksana. He stopped though and tossed down the sunflowers on the ramp, then walked to the top of the stage. Aksana turned around to see he wasn't joining her and Goldust simply shrugged at her.

During the match, Aksana pretended to be nice by letting AJ back in through the ropes after she had fallen out. Aksana grabbed AJ and tossed her back out again. Michael Cole took a phone call as the match continued with Aksana putting AJ into a submission move on the mat.

AJ started to gain momentum with several near falls. AJ was able to wrap herself around Aksana in an interesting submission hold, eventually bringing Aksana down to tap out.

---

Time for another NXT Rookie Divas competition. This time it was "Diss the Diva." Striker congratulated AJ for winning the first competition of the night. In this contest, each rookie diva got 1 minute to diss the other divas. Aksana had trouble making sense in her attempts at dissing the others. She attacked Kaitlyn during her disses. The crowd gave Naomi the most cheers so she won the competition. However, AJ had the most competition wins to earn immunity from tonight's elimination. Michael Cole was busy talking to some fans in the crowd, so Matthews handled commentary. The WWE Pros huddled up to talk over voting for the upcoming elimination.

---

When NXT returned, Cole and Matthews talked Survivor Series and how this Sunday John Cena's career is on the line. They showed a special video package about John Cena and how he found where he belongs with WWE but now is conflicted in his latest role. The video highlighted Cena as part of Nexus and having to take orders from leader Wade Barrett. Barrett has ordered Cena to raise his arm as the new WWE Champ when Cena referees the Orton versus Barrett match at the PPV.

Striker was up on stage to interview the Pros on their thoughts about the NXT divas. He asked the Bellas first. Brie started to answer, and Nikki interrupted her saying "blah blah blah blah" then said none of the rookie divas compare to any of the divas you see on TV. Alicia Fox gave her thoughts saying this has been like some sort of Diva Daycare in her opinion.

---

Josh Matthews reminded fans they can see episodes of NXT on demand at YouTube, Hulu and WWE.com. Now time for the elimination. Striker had the four rookie divas ringside. He reminded them that AJ has immunity so one of the other three is going home now. They showed the pictures rotating on the screen and it stopped on Aksana, meaning she's the latest elimination. Aksana collapsed to the floor holding her head. She got up and said to the WWE Universe she's going to Mr McMahon's office to petition to stay in WWE. She said she will be back. Aksana walked up the ramp and Goldust stood in her way to stop her. He said he had one more thing to say to her. Goldust opened his top and pulled out a paper to hand Aksana, then said "I want a divorce." Aksana stormed backstage.

Voting opens up again on WWE.com as of Wednesday for the next elimination. The show closed as they showed a replay of Aksana fainting then showed the remaining 3 divas, Naomi, AJ and Kaitlyn clowning around.

WWE NXT Results 11/02/10

WWE NXT Results from Bridgeport, CT:

NXT opened with the video package promoting the Goldust and Aksana wedding tonight by 24 Karat Productions. Goldust proposed to his rookie diva Aksana weeks ago in order to help her solve her immigration problems.

After welcoming fans to the show, Cole and Matthews sent it to their host Matt Striker in the ring. Striker made his usual introductions of the rookies: Kaitlyn, Maxine, Naomi, A.J., and Aksana. Striker said there will be a wedding tonight and an elimination. Cole quipped "Thank God," prompting Striker to turn around and look at him. Striker told Aksana she has 0 competition wins and mathematically has no chance at immunity. He excused Aksana to go prepare for the weeding.

Tonight's first competition would be a Kissing Contest. Striker said he'd need a special judge for the contest. Hornswoggle's music hit and he arrived to the ring with Maxine giving him a look. Each of the divas had to kiss him and Hornswoggle had to say which one made him feel happy inside. Kaitlyn went first and made Hornswoggle fall against the ropes. Maxine was next and said she wouldn't be kissing Hornswoggle. She ordered him to leave the ring and he did all sad.

As Hornswoggle was walking backstage, Dashing Cody Rhodes arrived out wearing a suit, with a hand mirror. He patted Horney on the head and went to the ring. He said the contest needs someone "dashing," and here he is. Kaitlyn was told to go again. Dashing Cody Rhodes put on some lip gloss before and then Kaitlyn kissed him twice. Maxine refused to do it and made Cody kiss her hand. Naomi also refused to do it saying she wouldn't kiss him if he were the last guy on Earth. AJ went to kiss him, and he pulled out a nail file. He told AJ he knows she never kissed a guy before but he's rooting for. AJ pounced on Rhodes and took him down to the mat. He told Striker AJ was the winner.

Back to Striker and Cole, they said AJ has 2 wins now and could possibly save herself from elimination later.

Backstage, AJ was walking and Primo caught up to her. He said after seeing her kiss Cody he got a bit jealous. AJ said there's been something she's wanted to tell Primo for a while now and since elimination's coming up. She asked to tell him in private, so they went to the nearest room. Insider was Dusty Rhodes along with the Bella Twins all dressed up for Goldust's wedding. Dusty told them they'd need to find another room to use but told AJ she was looking good tonight.

---

Kelly Kelly vs. Alicia Fox

Kelly did her early pounce on Alicia and then later a tilt-a-whirl headscissors to toss Alicia. Alicia recovered to knock Kelly out of the ring. Back inside, Alicia stretched Kelly over her knee. Kelly regained control briefly, but Alicia dropkicked her down.

Alicia missed on the headscissors kick so Kelly did a Sunset Flip on her off the corner. Alicia kicked out, but Kelly followed up with her finisher to plant Alicia face first on the mat.

Winner: Kelly Kelly wins via pinfall over Alicia Fox.

Primo and AJ were trying to find a room still backstage. This time they opened a door and saw Maxine kissing Hornswoggle. She stopped and saw them. She tried to tell them it's not what they think, that he was choking. AJ and Primo went to find another room.

---

Survivor Series 2010 is presented by Paper Jamz. Tonight's second competition in the ring is the Wedding Gift Scramble. The divas had to tear through presents on the table to find a flag. First diva to find it would win the contest. Kaitlyn found the flag within about a half minute to win her second contest. Naomi with 3 competition wins in the past several weeks has immunity tonight.

Time for another Stand Up for WWE promo video package. It featured various superstars talking about their famous WWE parents and relatives. Goldust, Ted Dibiase, Cody Rhodes, Usos, Natalya, Randy Orton, Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty were all part of the featured video.

If Barrett wins the title, Cena is released from Nexus. If Barrett loses, Cena is fired from WWE by Barrett.

Matthews reminded fans they can see episodes of NXT on Hulu, YouTube and WWE.com.

Finally AJ and Primo found a spot backstage near a piece of equipment. AJ noticed it was moving. They looked behind the board they were next to, and saw Dolph making out with Kaitlyn. Dolph stopped and pulled Kaitlyn out trying to say it wasn't what they thought. Vickie saw it all on the big screen and went storming backstage. When she finally got there, she grabbed Kaitlyn and tossed her against the wall. Two guys just happened to walk in carrying a wedding cake. Kaitlyn grabbed it and threw it onto Vickie, covering her in icing. Vickie was shown screaming as NXT went to commercials.

Next up, the wedding of Goldust and Aksana. All of the pros and rookie divas were assembled on stage as was Striker to watch. Cody Rhodes and Dusty Rhodes both arrived to the ring as part of the wedding party. Hornswoggle came out as the ring bearer carrying the ring on a pillow. The groom arrived out next, Goldust. The priest asked everyone to rise as Aksana came out wearing her golden wedding dress. The minister asked Goldust and Aksana to say their vows. After they did, the minister asked if anyone objects. He then said, if nobody does, then he does. Goldust asked why? The minister said because everyone has a price. He walked up the ramp as Ted Dibiase and Maryse arrived out onto the stage.

Dibiase said that because the wedding was over, it's time for Aksana to go back to her country. The immigration agent arrived out with a pair of handcuffs. Dibiase told Goldust there's just one way to prevent this and that's to turn over the Million Dollar Belt. Dusty Rhodes got on the mic to interrupt. He said he thought this might happen so he found someone else as a minister to help out. He asked him to come out and Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase arrived out. Cole noted he's an ordained minister.

Dibiase arrived to the ring and finished the wedding. Hornswoggle handed over the rings for them to put on each other. Goldust went in for the kiss, but Dusty Rhodes went over and kissed her on the cheek. As Goldust went to kiss Aksana, she slapped him in the face, then turned around and left the ring. Everyone was shocked in the ring as Aksana walked backstage.

Host Matt Striker had the five rookie divas assembled by the ring for tonight's elimination. Naomi had immunity for tonight. Time for tonight's big sendoff.

Basically the rookies just posed and walked around the ring to some corny music. Kaitlyn grabbed the mic and started her Vickie "Excuse Me" immitation, then fell on her huge butt and pounded the mat as the fans cheered. The audience gave their reaction to each rookie diva and gave a lot of applause to Kaitlyn giving her the win.

He told them if they're not married next week, Aksana will be deported.

Brie Bella vs. A.J.

Nikki was ringside for her twin sister. AJ came out in her TMNT Halloween costume along with her pro diva Primo. Brie had the upperhand early on, as she settled into a headlock on AJ. AJ got to her feet to elbow her away out, but as she came from against the ropes, Brie leveled her with a clothesline. Brie put a headlock back on as Nikki yelled "finish her off!"

Brie got outside and Nikki started arguing with her. Primo came over and told them not to try that "switchy thing". AJ gained control as Brie got back in the ring. AJ had repeated takedowns for near falls with Brie kicking out. At one point, the ref was giving instructions to AJ and missed it as Nikki yanked her sister out of the ring and took her place. Nikki was now in the ring and able to finish off AJ with a Faceplant to the mat.

Brie wasn't happy with her sister's actions nor was Primo who got in the ring to yell at the ref.

Dibiase and Maryse were backstage. Maryse said she doesn't want to be here anymore because it smells like vomit and the girls outside are tacky looking.

infuriating Vickie.

Vickie and Alicia wore mic headsets on the

apron to coach their rookies in the match.

Maxine started to wrap the hood around

Kaitlyn's face and choked her against the

bottom rope. Michael Cole took a cell phone

call during the match. Matthews said it must

be the Raw GM because Cole doesn't have

friends. Cole handed the phone to ring

announcer Tony Chimel too. Eventually

Matthews found out it was Cole's mother on

the phone.

Kaitlyn fighting Maxine near Vickie and

Vickie falling off the apron. Maxine managed

to roll up Kaitlyn for a pinfall and held her

butt to secure the pinfall. Kaitlyn tore off

the sweatshirt and tossed it off. Vickie

package to show how WWE is a good, clean

sports entertainment phenomenon across the

globe. Other parts of the video segment

showed WWE's involvement with charities like

the Overseas tribute and Make A Wish. Cole

encouraged viewers to stop by WWE.com and

help support WWE in the face of all the

political attacks going on now. "Stand Up

for WWE" is the latest campaign.

Time for the "Who's That Body?" Competition

for the rookie divas. The divas had to

identify various diva or superstar bodies

shown to gain points. They each had air

horns again like the name that tune contest.

Naomi got the first body right with Cody

Rhodes before Striker even gave choices. AJ,

Kaitlyn and Naomi were the only ones to get

answers. Naomi got the last answer right,

Melina, to win with 3, to Kaitlyn and AJ's 2.

When NXT returned, Matthews and Cole

discussed the upcoming Bragging Rights PPV

with Team Raw vs Team Smackdown, as well as

Orton defending the WWE Title against Wade

Barrett. John Cena will be in Barrett's

corner as a Nexus member. They showed video

highlights of how Cena became a member of

Nexus after losing to Barrett at the last

PPV. Ever since, Cena's been subjected to

humiliating orders from Wade Barrett. Cena

was ordered to help Barrett win the Battle

Royal weeks ago to become #1 Contender for

the WWE Title. Just last night, Cena teamed

up with Orton to take on Husky Harris and

Michael McGillicutty. They won but after the

match, Nexus attacked Orton while Cena could

only watch.

Matthews brought up the Goldust Aksana

situation. Backstage, Goldust was petting

the Million Dollar belt and thanked Aksana

for saving it. Goldust said if Aksana

married him she wouldn't be deported.

Goldust said in two weeks they get married.

Goldust got down on one knee and presented a

ring to Aksana to make it official. He moved

his lips towards Aksana but held back, then

wished her luck in the limbo contest later

on.

---

Time for the next divas competition "The Limbo." Two refs held the limbo stick for the divas to limbo under. As Striker told the refs to "lower the bar" Cole said it's just like the show's bar has been lowered. Kaitlyn and AJ started clowning around under the stick. Kaitlyn was eliminated for not clearing the stick. AJ was also eliminated, followed by Aksana. It came down to Maxine vs Naomi. Naomi ended up with the big win to have 3 competition victories, giving her a chance at immunity.

Kelly Kelly & Naomi vs. The Bella

Twins

Early on, The Bella Twins started to dominate Kelly with several double team moves. Kelly eventually made an escape to tag in Naomi who took it to one of the Bellas. At one point, all four divas were involved in the contest. Nikki got pissed, then rushed over and pounced on Naomi. A big brawl ensued with Kelly pulling Naomi away and Brie pulling Nikki away. As it became Brie vs Naomi, Brie offered the rookie a sincere handshake. Later, Nikki tagged in and then talked some trash before shoving Naomi down. Moments later Nikki shoved Naomi off the corner turnbuckle, causing her to fall onto the apron.

Later still showing aggression, Nikki rushed over to knock Kelly off the apron. She pulled Naomi over by her hair to let Brie tag her in. Naomi kicked Nikki out of the ring. Things went awry as Kelly was trying to get into the ring. Nikki shoved Brie away from Naomi then took the winning pinfall on her. Kelly was confused as to why Nikki was so hostile. She checked on Naomi on the mat as the Bellas raised their arms up on the ramp. Brie was confused about her sister's aggressive behavior as Nikki was mocking a crybaby to taunt Kelly and Naomi.

Winner: The Bella Twins win via pinfall over Kelly Kelly & Naomi.

Naomi got on a roll with a number of consecutive takedowns on Alicia. Kelly Kelly was on the apron to cheer her rookie on. Alicia used a fake out pretending she needed time to get to her feet. The ref made Naomi back up and then Alicia kicked her in the gut.

Naomi was able knock Alicia down from the corner apron area, then went to the corner rope. Naomi went for the flying cross body, but Alicia moved away. She came back and botched her scissor kick, missing Naomi's back. She did another moments later for the win.

Winner: Alicia Fox wins via pinfall over Naomi.

Backstage, Goldust was telling his rookie Aksana how proud he is of her. She was still upset about her working papers, saying her attorney said there's not a lot of options. Aksana said she might get sent home for six months to fix things. Goldust said they're going to fix this together, but she has to focus on her match and competition tonight. Goldust gave Aksana some strategy as NXT went to commercial.

---

After commercial, Striker was back in the ring with the five divas. He said before the second competition of the night, each of the rookies can show off their personalities for the pro's and WWE Universe. Naomi got to go off about Michael Cole and how she didn't want him to be there. AJ described her dream date saying it would involve Xbox or PS3 and ordering a pizza. Kaitlyn tried to insult Vickie saying that she and Dolph bought a gift for her, some Ben Gay perfume. Aksana talked about how much she loves America and the people there. Maxine talked about respect, and how Hornswoggle disrespected her last week with a pie to the face. She said Kaitlyn's been disrespectful to her pro mentor, Vickie and disrespected her relationship with Dolph.

WWE Raw Rebound was up next. It showed highlights of the latest John Cena adventures with The Nexus. In the main event, John Cena faced The Miz in a NO DQ match with the winner becoming the team captain for Team Raw at Bragging Rights PPV. Cena was about to win despite Alex Riley interfering, but Hysky Harris and Michael McGillicutty came to the ring and attacked, allowing The Miz to win.

Post-match, Harris and McGill tried to attack again, but Cena fought back. Wade Barrett came to the ring to stop John Cena then he started to insult him calling him a coward in front of the fans. Wade said Cena's scared of him and that's why he won't lay a finger on him. The show closed as Cena was going up the ramp. Barrett ordered him to stop then did the "You Can't See Me," trademark phrase to mock him.

Cole and Matthews talked about Bragging Rights PPV where Wade Barrett will challenge Orton for the WWE Title with Cena in his corner. Also Team Raw, will be captained by The Miz.

They reviewed the finish of last week's match where Kaitlyn defeated Vickie Guerrero. Post-match, Kaitlyn hugged Dolph Ziggler. Kaitlyn was backstage practicing some punching moves. Vickie walked up to her saying she had hoped she would be eliminated last week. She said they're stuck together for another three weeks, so they might as well let bygones be bygones. Kaitlyn said no problem. Vickie warned her that if she even touches Dolph again, getting eliminated will be the least of her worries.

Matthews introduced a preview trailer of the new Big Show movie "Knucklehead" which will be playing in limited engagement theaters next week. It features Big Show as the world's biggest orphan, who also becomes a wrestler/bareknuckle fighter, going on the road. Mark Feuerstein of "Royal Pains" co-stars in the new film from WWE. See knuckleheadthemovie.com for more information.

Time for the next WWE Diva Rookie challenge, "Power of the Punch." The diva with the hardest punch/highest score would win the competition. Here's the results:

Naomi 801
AJ Lee 362
Kaitlyn 005
Aksana 666
Maxine 605

Kaitlyn messed up on her punch attempt after some theatrics using the Ben Gay on her arm. Aksana scored the symbolic devilish number 666. Naomi won with her high score of 801.

---

AJ vs. Aksana

Goldust and Primo were on the aprons to coach their rookie divas. Early on, Aksana was on the outside where Goldust gave her some tips. She got back in the ring to try to take control, but AJ got her down with a headlock. Moments later Aksana did the drop down and punch AJ. However, not long after that AJ got a surprise rollup pinfall for the victory.

Winner: AJ wins via pinfall over Aksana.

Post-match, Goldust got on the mic in the ring with Aksana. He told her he knows she's got immigration issues, but there's options. Goldust suggested they could get married and then she'd be able to stay in the country. Goldust told her he'd do anything to help her, so he got down on one knee and proposed to Aksana. Cole called it "riveting." Aksana said "yes" to his proposal. Michael Cole said "finally a reason to watch WWE." NXT went off the air with Cole thanking Goldust for saving the episode tonight.

Striker was in the ring with the six divas for the next competition, the Rookie Diva Talent Show. Each diva would show off their talent. Cole told Matthews to wake him up in 10 minutes so he can take a nap.

Aksana went first and did pushups with her legs on the backs of her arms. The audience seemed impressed. Naomi was next and did a rap song which featured lyrics about Cena, Raw, Smackdown, Kelly and Naomi. AJ was up next and said she would give Michael Cole a personality. She was joking but then showed off her flexibility skills with a variety of poses and splits. Next up was Jamie who said her talent is turning people on. Striker had a dumbfounded look on his face afterwords.

Kaitlyn went next and said she's an artist. There was an easel in the ring and Kaitlyn started using a big marker. Her pro mentor Vickie Guerrero was up on stage looking not so happy. Kaitlyn drew some sort of picture and then revealed a stick figure of Vickie Guerrero with a big booty saying "Excuse Me!" Maxine said she wanted to take the opportunity to apologize to Hornswoggle for last week's mishap where she pushed the wheelbarrow and he fell at the end. She had a pie she had baked for Hornswoggle and asked him to come to the ring to accept it from her. Horney came to the ring and Maxine got down on her knees. As expected, Maxine got smashed in the face with a pie by Horney.

The winner thanks to crowd applause was Kaitlyn. That gave Kaitlyn her third competition win, tying AJ. Striker asked the crowd who they thought should be immune from elimination and Kaitlyn won on crowd cheers.

Backstage, Goldust was telling Aksana how he loves to hold onto the Million Dollar belt. Just then a man from US immigration department walked in asking for Aksana.

Aksana got upset but Goldust told her he'd take care of things and not to worry.

Cole and Matthews brought up the unstable history of Kaitlyn and her mentor Vickie Guerrero. They showed a highlight video package including Vickie's demeaning treatment of her rookie.

Kaitlyn vs. Vickie Guerrero

Vickie was accompanied to the ring by Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler, and his music played for the entrance. Ziggler was in a suit and Nikes while Vickie wore an "Excuse Me!" blue and black jumpsuit. Ziggler watched from ringside.

Vickie did a variety of warm-up moves to prepare for the match, wasting time in the ring instead of starting the match. Kaitlyn walked over and shoved her, so Vickie shoved back. Kaitlyn hit a drop toe hold to trip Vickie to the mat. Vickie asked the ref to check her lip for blood. Vickie got a kick in and then slapped Kaitlyn, so Kaitlyn slapped back. Vickie dropped down in the corner and rolled to the outside. Kaitlyn ducked through the ropes to ask if Vickie was OK, and she grabbed her by the hair to yank her outside.

Vickie started to beat up Kaitlyn on the outside now, screaming at her to "get up!" Kaitlyn was crawling in the ring with Vickie taunting her and striking her. Vickie started choking Kaitlyn against the ropes by sitting on her on the middle rope. Vickie kept doing fake pity attempts pretending she was hurt. Finally, Kaitlyn picked her up for a slam to the mat and a near fall. Vickie backed towards the ropes and as Kaitlyn came at her, Vickie yanked her into the ropes. Vickie screamed at Dolph outside the ring asking if he was going to help her. Just then, Kaitlyn seized the moment to roll up Vickie for the surprise pinfall.

Post-match Kaitlyn was ecstatic. Ziggler climbed into the ring and Kaitlyn rushed over to hug him as Vickie was screaming. Vickie angrily yelled at Dolph then left the ring.

Winner: Kaitlyn wins via pinfall over Vickie Guerrero.

WWE NXT moves to WWE.com from SyFy

While this Friday will mark the beginning of the WWE Smackdown era on SyFy, this past Tuesday was the end of the NXT era for the network. A huge announcement came on last night's edition of the show, with Michael Cole and Josh Matthew reporting NXT Season 3 will move to WWE.com exclusively as of Tuesday, October 5th, 2010. This only affects the United States, who will now get the webcast version, while other countries will still see it on television. The reason, according to PWInsider.com:

"..domestically, NXT will become a WWE.com property as WWE was unable to sell the show to another cable network under the NBC Universal umbrella and contractually, could not take it outside of their auspices on cable."

Apparently, SyFy wanted to bring back its hit show "Caprica" too. NXT Season 3 wasn't exactly pulling top ratings, and the recent wrestling action was pretty terrible. Consider the fact that last night's NXT show had zero matches, a bunch of challenges, in-ring confrontations and then recaps of the main events from Raw and Smackdown. However, they did book an interesting contest for the first NXT episode on WWE.com. Kaitlyn has challenged her mentor Vickie Guerrero to a match. Vickie laughed at the notion but accepted, saying she plans to show Kaitlyn who the pro is. Vickie is not quite a wrestling diva, so what will she do to manipulate this one? Regardless of that, Kaitlyn can gain popularity with fans over the move.

Speaking of fans and voting, elimination #1 is next Tuesday as well. Voting has opened up over at http://nxt.wwe.com with A.J. Lee being immune from elimination, having won 3 challenges. Kaitlyn and Naomi have each won 2, while Jamie has 1 win under her belt. Aksana and Maxine have yet to win a challenge, so it's likely one of them will get voted off first. This contest may very well come down to A.J. vs Naomi vs. Kaitlyn. It's hard to see Kaitlyn getting voted off with a big match pending against Vickie. Jamie, Aksana and Maxine seem to be struggling in terms of personality, but that's not to say all of these women wouldn't make great eye-candy in some capacity as new divas.

Another interesting thing with this whole NXT Season 3 move is the recent walk-off by Michael Cole and then his return a week later. He keeps dissing the show, making you wonder what's the point? Was that WWE's big plan to reel in viewers? Were they expecting a huge increase in ratings the next week after Cole left (in which CM Punk was on commentary)? For some reason they said Punk would be back again, but he wasn't on last night's show. Something's very fishy, but you can tell someone (maybe Mr. McMahon) was not happy with the wrestling on the show, or the overall way it was going. Much better suited for WWE.com, but unfortunate because NXT was a fun show to see on television and had potential if done properly. This season has been too much like Diva Search Contests though.

How do you feel about NXT moving to WWE.com? Will you watch or skip it?

WWE NXT Results 09/28/10

WWE NXT Results from :

They started off with highlights from last week's challenges: Musical Chairs and Talk the Talk. AJ won both competitions, giving her two wins just like Naomi.

Matt Striker was up on the stage to introduce the NXT Season 3 diva rookies: Aksana, AJ, Kaitlyn, Jamie, Naomi and Maxine. Striker said starting tomorrow the WWE Universe can cast votes on WWE.com at 12 noon to determine the WWE's next breakout diva. Tonight's competition is "Wheelbarrow Challenge." The divas each had to push a wheelbarrow around the ring. Whomever did it fastest would get a challenge win. Striker said they needed to make it tougher though. He called out Hornswoggle to put in the wheelbarrow to push around.

Maxine went first and got 14.7 seconds, even though she shoved the wheelbarrow after crossing the finish line and Hornswoggle fell on the ramp. Hornswoggle responded by biting her on the butt. Next up was Naomi who did the contest in 15.2 seconds, not quick enough to beat Maxine. Jamie got 14.4 seconds to edge out Maxine. Kaitlyn got a very impressive 12.0 seconds to take the lead. Next up was AJ Lee and got 17.7 seconds. Aksana got 13.9 seconds, giving Kaitlyn the win for her second competition.

They presented a this week in WWE history segment. September 22, 1997 Monday Night Raw was the historic moment which included Cactus Jack vs Triple H in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Also o nthe show, Vince McMahon who had been a longtime announcer confronted Stone Cold Steve Austin in the ring. McMahon ultimately fell victim to a stunner and Austin was taken away in cuffs.

Josh Matthews introduced a video package on AJ Lee, who represents all the nerds out there. She said she stayed home on Saturday nights playing video games and was fine with that. She talked about waiting in line for eight hours for Wrestlemania tickets with her dad. She said her passion and determination will get her to the end of NXT.

Still to come tonight, another challenge: Diss the Diva.

Raw Rebound was shown once NXT returned. It was a recap of the Jericho vs Orton main event. Orton was ready for the win, but Sheamus came in to try to ambush The Viper. Instead, Orton DDT'd Sheamus off the middle rope. As Sheamus prepared to get up, Orton got ready for a punt kick. As he ran, Jericho caught him with a Codebreaker. Sheamus got out of the ring, and Jericho grabbed a steel chair. Jericho swung at Orton in the ring, but Orton avoided the chair shot, then hit the RKO on Jericho. With Sheamus still watching from ringside, Orton delivered the punt kick to Jericho, requiring medical staff to take him out on a stretcher. Cole said Sheamus and Orton meet Sunday in The Viper's Playground: Hell in a Cell.

---

A special announcement came from Michael Cole and Josh Matthews that starting next Tuesday, WWE NXT will only be seen on WWE.com, instead of SyFy. It will be the only place to find out the first NXT Season 3 diva elimination.

A background video was shown on Kaitlyn. She was a huge tomboy since birth, but got into fitness competitions as well. She feels she can showcase more of her personality as a diva. She said she wants to be the one that everyone can laugh with. She wants to show girls they can be goofy and still be feminine. Her role model is Beth Phoenix.

---

The theme song for Hell in a Cell is "Sacrifice" by Atom Smash, available for download everywhere.

They showed a replay of what went down on Friday Night Smackdown involving Kane and the Undertaker. In the segment, Kane arrived to the ring to make a new challenge to Undertaker. Kane said he plans to destroy Undertaker for good, this time in a Hell in a Cell match. He said Taker's not welcome in Hell, unless he brings him there. As Kane kept talking, suddenly the Undertaker's bell sounded. Next up was the ominous theme music, as druids brought a casket down to the ring. They left it at the bottom of the ramp, ringside.

As the lights came on, the casket was bright red, Kane style. Kane went over towards the casket saying "the games are over big brother." He ripped open the casket lid, and laying inside was Paul Bearer with the classic urn. He sat up anad the lights wnet out, with Undertaker's bell sounding. As the lights finally came back, Taker was in the ring behind Kane, with Paul Bearer standing in front of him. Bearer raised up the urn, and Undertaker went over to attack Kane ferociously, seeming to have recovered his strength. He was about to go for the chokeslam, but Kane rolled out of harm's way and got up the ramp. Bearer held up the urn as Taker knelt down. Kane yelled "Nooooo!!" from up on the ramp, realizing Undertaker may have recovered his powers.

Time for "Diss the Diva" where each rookie diva had to diss her competitors. Aksana and AJ went first. Kaitlyn tried to impersonate Naomi, by walking around with her butt stuck out. Naomi took exception and kicked her down. When Naomi went she talked about how Kaitlyn was talking trash on her video confessional. AJ ended up getting the victory based on crowd cheers. As she celebrated the win, Vickie Guerrero started her "Excuse me" routine and came to the ring.

Vickie confronted her rookie Kailtyn, saying week after week she's tried to mold her in her likeness. Vickie asked the audience to just feel her pain for once. Vikcie said she wishes Kaitlyn would step it up. Kaitlyn got on the mic saying she's tried her hardest from the start. She said next week is the first elimination and she won't have another chance to do this. She said she's going to step it up and challenge Vickie to a match. Vickie asked her if she remembers who she's talking to. Vickie said she'll accept her challenge next week and show her why she's the pro.

After she accepted the match, Vickie suddenly slapped Kaitlyn in the face. Kaitlyn fell to the mat, then got back up and shoved Vickie down. She jumped on her to start the cat fight. Eventually, Matt Striker had to break things up with Michael Cole yelling he wishes he was Striker right now. Vickie Guerrero backed up the ramp looking angrily towards the ring at Kaitlyn who was still holding her slapped chin.
