Episode 3
Kevin Nash came out to say he was in charge tonight and he ran through the episode's card. He was interrupted by Heath Slater, who got Jackknife Powerbombed to end the segment.
– Sakamoto vs Adrian Neville
Neville won with a twisting shooting star press.
– Leo Kruger vs Trent Barreta
Barreta won by disqualification. Ohno was doing commentary and came down to hit Barreta with a discus elbow on the outside. Kruger followed that up with the Kruger End and got the pinfall. Regal pulled Baretta out of the ring to avoid a two on one attack and the ref announced that the result was being reverse and that Barreta won by DQ.
– Big E Langston vs Camacho
Langston won with the Big End.
Before the match Langston was going to give a promo about winning the championship, but Camacho interrupted him. After the match, Langston did his usual post-match schtick.
– Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel vs Damian Sandow and Antonio Cesaro
Kidd and Gabriel won when Sandow was hit with a Lionsault by Gabriel and then a Springboard Elbow by Kidd.
Before the match Sandow cut a promo to try and turn the crowd against him. He ended with what he claimed was "a soon to be famous quote" by himself, "He who seeks the admiration of idiots, is himself an idiot."
Notes:
– "HBK" Shawn Michaels was announced for the next taping, on January 10, 2013.
– Adrian Neville is the former PAC.
– At one point Nash called Langston the "WXT Champion", which led to a loud NXT chant. Slater made fun of this during his promo by emphasizing the letters NXT when talking about the impact he has made there.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
