They showed footage of Brad Maddox's interview on Raw, with Mr. McMahon setting up a match between him and Ryback.  If Maddox wins he gets a $1 million contract for WWE.

WWE NXT Results 04/18/12


NXT Results from London, England:

NXT opened with a video package recap of what's been happening with the storylines on the show, narrated by Derrick Bateman.  The storylines involved Maxine and Curtis trying to kidnap Striker, but Striker being kidnapped by Hawkins and Reks instead.  The heel duo told Maxine to get Regal on her good side and off their back, then they'd release Striker.  However, Bateman and Kaitlyn found Striker before that could all happen and saved him, leading Reks and Hawkins to no longer have him in their possession.

Josh Matthews welcomed fans to the show, right before Percy Watson arrived out for the opening bout.  Regal was also on commentary with Matthews.

Percy Watson defeated Johnny Curtis by pinfall.  Curtis was accompanied to the ring by Maxine who went over to take a seat next to Regal for guest commentary.  Maxine blamed Johnny Curtis for the whole Striker kidnapping incident.  Matthews continued to grill Maxine about the whole kidnapping as a match was going on in the ring.

In the match finish, Percy got going hitting several of his big moves including the Showtime Splash for a near fall.  Curtis kicked out of a pinfall.  Watson went for the Percycution but Curtis escaped.  However, Percy shoved him into the corner and grabbed him as he came back to hit Percycution for the win.

Post-match, Regal got on the mic to congratulate Percy, and told Curtis to come back down and provide guest commentary as Maxine wrestled next.

Maxine defeated Kaitlyn by submission.  Johnny Curtis and Derrick Bateman both joined the commentators for the match.  Matthews started bringing up how Curtis and Bateman both dated Maxine, but Bateman commented on the match to interrupt.  Maxine slapped on a Dragon Sleeper with body scissors, drawing praise from Regal.  Maxine eventually fell to her knees and had to tap out against Maxine's arm.

Post-match, Regal shook Curtis' hand and kept him there.  He called Maxine over to address the Striker kidnapping incident.  Regal said from now on if they wish to stay on NXT, Maxine will need to become manager of Johnny Curtis.  Regal pulled out a contract and asked them to both sign on the deal.  Regal said they didn't have to sign it, but they don't have to work there either.  After both of them signed it, Regal pulled out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed Maxine to Curtis.  Regal said he doesn't know what happened to the key.  Maxine and Curtis were irate over it.

They covered highlights of the Jericho and Punk feud involving alcoholism and Jericho's constant taunting of Punk.  This all has resulted in the two having a match set for Extreme Rules 2012 Pay-Per-View.  The PPV will be at Chicago and the match will be a Chicago Street Fight.

Reks was backstage arguing with Hawkins saying there's film showing that they kidnapped Striker.  Just then, Maxine and Curtis came out yelling as they were cuffed together.  They started yelling at Hawkins and Reks.  Percy Watson, Bateman and Kaitlyn each came walking by and made their own attempts at jokes, then left.  Maxine and Curtis left, so Reks and Hawkins said "we're done."

Reks and Hawkins came to the ring after a break, dressed in Hart foundation gear.  They addressed the Striker kidnapping saying the footage of them taking him was doctored by Regal and others.

Just then, Matt Striker appeared from backstage carrying Curt's walking stick.  STriker started saying he's learned to never back down in his time with WWE.  Striker said WWE has fed him, clothed him and allowed him to take care of his family.  Striker said a month ago, someone took that away from him.  Striker said he was blindfolded and hit, almost like he was hit by a walking stick, which Curt left behind.

Hawkins taunted Striker, so he started swinging the stick at them.  Regal intervened saying he's had enough of Reks and Hawkins.  Regal said it's time to put an end to this thing, so it will be Curt Hawkins vs. Tyler Reks with the loser getting fired.  Regal said they need a referee, and Striker pulled off his jacket to show he already had the ref shirt on.

Tyler Reks defeated Curt Hawkins by pinfall in a "Loser is Fired" Match. The two friends pulled no punches as they went at each other.  Hawkins took a swing at Reks before the bell, right before NXT went to a quick commercial break to promote WM29.  At one point during the match, Reks jumped over the top rope and took out Hawkins on the floor.  Reks hit a huge series of clotheslines late, and then a face front slam to the mat for a near fall.

Reks charged at Hawkins in the corner but ate a boot, allowing Hawkins a near fall chance.  The close saw Reks kick Hawkins in the gut, and get him on one shoulder.  Hawkins escaped and went for a move of his own with Reks escaping that and rolling up Hawkins for the pinfall.

Post-match, Reks left the ring and walked over to point at Regal.  Hawkins started to shove Striker in the ring, so Striker punched him down and yelled "You're Fired!" then lead the crowd in the "Goodbye" song.

Regal got on the mic saying Curt Hawkins is now fired so he needs to leave.  He shook Reks' hand and said he changed his mind, because Reks is now fired as well.  Reks started pounding on the steel steps and other objects yelling at the refs who came to bring him backstage.  Regal put his arm on Striker and Reks and Hawkins contemplated their job loss.  NXT ended with Striker and Regal all smiles.

Maxine went down the ramp to join William Regal for the next match, bringing a "care kit" with her.

WWE NXT Results 11/02/11


WWE NXT Results from Greenville, SC:

NXT opened with a video package about the ongoing relationship between Derrick Bateman and Maxine. A slow romantic song played in the background as they showed highlights of them smooching and other scenes from NXT. Last week in the ring, Maxine agreed to marry Bateman at the end of the show.

Jack Korpela opened on commentary, welcoming fans to Greenville, SC. He said William Regal is there with him tonight. JTG's theme music played with JTG in the ring already. He called Greenville "Hatersville" and said it over again to get boos. JTG introduced the soon-to-be-married couple of Bateman and Maxine, making a remark about how this is everlasting love not 72 days of "fly-by-night love." Bateman came out carrying Maxine in his arms.

They got in the ring. Maxine told JTG to refer to them as "Bate-max" from now on. Bateman said if JTG keeps this up, he might be a "best man." JTG whispered into his ear and Bateman corrected it saying "best fly man." Maxine said Bateman's forgetting something, so JTG handed him the small box. Bateman got down on one knee and put a ring on Maxine's finger, then kissed her on the lips.

Titus O'Neil's music hit and he came out to interrupt along with AJ and Percy Watson. They made some remarks about Maxine looking like a fish or "Chicken of Sea" and called them the "Young and the Fish Lips." Bateman tried to defend his love, but Titus brought up that Bateman was supposed to find Maxine's father to ask for her hand in marriage. Titus said nobody can find her father though. Percy Watson pulled out a black bag with Titus pulling out a dead fish pretending it was Maxine's father. They pretened it said no and then in unison said "Guess you didn't take the bait man, get it Bateman?" A mini-fight broke out with Titus throwing Bateman out over the ropes. They chased JTG out and Maxine left too.

Matt Striker came out from backstage to interrupt their arguing. Striker announced the main event of JTG, Derrick Bateman & Maxine against Titus, Percy and AJ.

Jack Korpela opened the show alongside William Regal. Host Matt Striker was in the ring with Titus O'Neil and Derrick Bateman, the two remaining rookies in the redemption season. Bateman had JTG and Maxine with him. Titus had Percy Watson with him. Bateman tried to thank JTG and lock lips with Maxine, but Titus interrupted saying if they wanted to see "Dolphin Tales" they'd go to the movies. He said they don't want to see that, they'd rather see the next breakout star, Titus O'Neil.

Striker intervened and said tonight's challenge is actually "Talk the Talk" and gave each rookie a chance to talk about his opponent. Bateman insulted the local fans telling them to go up the road to see Dallas if they want to see real football. Bateman said he doesn't cater to the WWE Universe like Titus, he caters to a universe of one. He pulled Maxine forward for another kiss.

Titus said he's wearing pink trunks tonight because of losing grandmothers to breast cancer, so he's supporting the cause. That got a big pop from the crowd. Titus kept up his talk and then had the crowd do his dog chant in support of him. Striker had the crowd vote and Titus clearly had their support. Titus got back on the mic to talk more trash about Maxine looking like a fish. Percy Watson dissed JTG's outfit and grandmother chain. That got JTG to punch Percy. Striker intervened in the brawl in the ring, then arranged two matches: Titus vs. Bateman, and Percy vs. JTG, now.

Percy Watson vs. JTG

After a commercial break, JTG managed to knock Percy off the apron. JTG went out of the ring and got down, waited for Percy to stand up and clotheslined him down hard before tossing him back into the ring. A pinfall attempt failed by JTG so he began choking Percy against the ropes.

Later, JTG went for a move off the corner, but Percy got up and hit JTG face-first into his knee to counter. Percy began to strike away on JTg and then dropkicked him down, before a huge clothesline. Percy did his huge splash move for a near fall. He finished JTG with "The Persecution" flapjack slam for the pinfall victory.

Winner: Percy Watson wins via pinfall over JTG.

Kidd told Striker he might want to be smarter about what he says to a guy with a big stick as Hawkins lifted up a cane he had in hand. Striker told Kidd he's got a match next against one of the Uso's.


Jey Uso vs. Tyson Kidd

Early on, Kidd took control with a huge kick to take down Jey for a near fall. He followed up with a knee to the throat in the corner area. Kidd kept up the attack with a huge elbow to Jey's face. Jimmy started pounding the mat to rally Jey with the crowd. Jey fought to his feet only for Kidd to throw him down.

Jey hit a huge superkick to knock Kidd down before heading to the apron and up onto the corner. Curt Hawkins went over and hit his cane against the ropes but it didn't really do anything. Jey jumped off the corner for the Splash but Kidd got both knees up. The ref yelled at Hawkins who said he was just watching. Meanwhile as Jey got up still stumbling around, Kidd grabbed him for the Fishermen's neckbreaker move to win it.

Post-match, Hawkins and Kidd tried to make a beatdown/attack. Yoshi Tatsu rushed out to make a big save. The heels backed up the ramp grinning and pointing to the injured Uso's in the ring.

Winner: Tyson Kidd wins via pinfall over Jey Uso.




William Regal gave thanks to Flo Rida for "Good Feeling" the official theme song for 2011 Survivor Series, now available on iTunes.

From there, they launched into Raw Rebound. It covered the events of Monday's Raw where Cena told John Laurinaitis he wanted a match with Miz and Truth because they keep messing with him and he's sick of it. Laurinaitis picked Cena's partner, Zack Ryder, who got beat up backstage by Miz and Truth during his interview. The main event still went forth as a 2-on-1 handicap match, Truth and Miz versus Cena. Truth and Miz tried to attack Cena using steel chairs, but Laurinaitis came down to the ring and told them to leave at once. He granted Cena the choice of his partner for Survivor Series to face Miz and Truth. Cena said he chooses someone who can bring it "The Rock."

Backstage, AJ and Kaitlyn were talking in the locker room. AJ said there is plenty of tension and drama around there. Kaitlyn said she can handle it and she's going to take out Tamina without her seeing it coming tonight. Tamina had walked into the locker room and was behind Kaitlyn. AJ sort of pointed and Kaitlyn turned around to see Tamina. Tamina said she's going to smash Kaitlyn's face all over the ring tonight.

Titus got an early start with several slams on Bateman and beat on him in the corner. AJ and Maxine started having a bit of a verbal war with Maxine bringing up AJ's relationship with Titus and Hornswoggle. Bateman escaped the ring and went over towards Maxine to recover. Bateman managed to regain the match once he got back in the ring, knocking Titus off the apron and then jumped off the apron to dropkick him down.

Titus picked up Bateman and slammed him against his knee then used multiple shoulder blocks and punches. He clotheslined Bateman down before getting riled up and doing his dog barking. Titus went for a huge move off the corner, with Bateman avoiding it and slamming Titus to the mat. Bateman then got a quick rollup pinfall for the win.

Post-match, Maxine got in the ring Bateman who called this "the greatest day of my entire life." He said he conquered his biggest foe tonight. Bateman started saying he's always known he loved Maxine and everything he does is for her. Bateman said he had an important question for her, then got down on one knee to ask her to marry him.

Maxine thought about it for a moment than slapped him hard. Bateman was taken back by it. Maxine went over and started to kiss him passionately as they started stumbling around the ring. Bateman stumbled back and yelled out "she said yes!" As Bateman was hugging Maxine she had a weird look on her face like she didn't know what was going on or made a mistake. Meanwhile, Titus and AJ were ringside shaking their heads over it all.

Winner: Derrick Bateman wins via pinfall over Titus O'Neil.

Zack Ryder is WWE Internet Champion


That's right Broskis, Long Island Iced Z, Zack Ryder, is the official WWE Internet champion. Zack even has an official belt, seen in the "Z! True Long Island Story" episode #24 on YouTube.

In his latest YouTube video, Ryder shows off the hardware, but ultimately ends up throwing the belt away in the trash. Ryder calls the belt a joke, saying it's merely a kids replica championship belt with stickers on it. However, he brings out an even cooler looking version of it later on (seen here). Actually it looks pretty damn cool and wouldn't be a half bad idea if Ryder started bringing it to the ring. In fact, WWE may be on to something since they show multiple TV shows, including WWE Superstars, on the internet each week. Ryder could defend the belt on Superstars.

Speaking of Ryder, Triple H made him the official assistant to Smackdown GM Teddy Long on the show Friday night. Ryder didn't do too badly in his first night. He found a guy for Mark Henry to squash within a minute in the ring, and gave Ezekiel Jackson a handicap match against Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase. Jackson lost the match to Rhodes by pinfall, which could be a sign of things to come for Rhodes.

As noted on Yahoo's recent writeup, Zack Ryder has certainly been doing well thanks to his YouTube show and Twitter following, as it has fans inspired and asking him to be shown more on TV. However, the WWE seems to be working on their use of social media to further develop the brand. With CM Punk and Zack Ryder's recent viral videos on YouTube, as well as public feuds by WWE superstars and divas on Twitter, this could get interesting.

Novak went to get back in, with Regal throwing him in over the ropes. He proceeded to beat away on Novak in the corner from there.

Regal got tossed out of the ring as NXT went to a commercial break. Right after break, Novak tried for a quick pinfall on Regal for the win. He settled into a headlock on the mat. JTG looked puzzled with the crowd as they started a "Regal, Regal" chant.

Regal was distracted a bit by JTG from outside the ring, allowing Novak another near fall. Moments later, Regal managed to catch Novak in his submission, the Regal Stretch. Novak soon tapped out to give the pro a victory. JTG just shoo his head, then confronted his rookie outside the ring. Regal walked over and pointed at them.

Winner: William Regal wins due to submission of Jacob Novak.

Todd Grisham reminded fans to start voting tomorrow at 12 Noon EST over on NXT.WWE.com. It will go from 6 rookies down to 5 on next week's elimination show.

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.

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.

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.

Rev Theory's "Justice" will be the official theme song for WWE Extreme Rules 2011.

They showed a replay of last week's conversation in the locker room backstage between JTG and Vladimir Kozlov. They made a friendly bet over whether JTG could make his rookie "fly" before Vlad makes his rookie a "beast."

JTG hit the ring and introduced his new and improved rookie, Jacob Novak. Novak came out rocking Timberland boots, a white undershirt, jeans, sunglasses and a Yankees baseball cap. Novak got in the ring and then said he knows there's a lot of other pros who could do better with him than JTG. He said he hasn't earned a single immunity point and now this new gimmick. Novak dissed the Yankees and threw the hat off, then turned his attention to William Regal. Novak said he's been hearing a lot of talk from Regal, then said he'll show Regal how to be a star, when he's ready.
