WWE NXT
January 1, 2015 (This show might air the following week due to the holiday)
-Sami Zayn came out to a massive pop to kick off the first episode of NXT in 2015. Before he got in the ring he jumped into the crowd and had a championship celebration with the fans. Eventually he got to the ring and put over the title match at Takeover, and said that holding the title means your the best in the business. For him, it also means that he was able to get the job done “his way”, in refence to not cheating at Takeover. Sami says that night should have been the best of his life, but instead he was put in a stretcher because of his “best friend” Kevin Owens. He tells Kevin that he was hurt, but he wasn’t killed, and he’s right here ready to defend the title any time.
-Out comes Adrian Neville, who puts over Sami for being the better man in their match. He calls Zayn a “new man” that proved him wrong, and he definitely won “the big one” when it mattered most. The champ asked if he was out to ask for a rematch, and William Regal hit the scene. He praised them both and called their match “one for the ages”, then announced the rematch for the 1/8 show.
