The Shield won with a Skywalker by Rollins on Keegan.
After the match, The Shield beatdown Dawson and cut a promo about how they are the most destructive force in WWE history. Graves appeared on screen and challenged them to a match next week, due to them costing him the title two times. Rollins accepted and told the others to take the night off next week.

- Naomi & Cameron vs The Bella Twins
The Bella Twins won with a double team on Cameron. The move had each Bella holding one of Cameron's legs and rolling forward like a jacknife pin, which caused Cameron to slam down as if she was powerbombed.

Regal won with a Knee Trembler.

The next portion of the taping was called "NXT Clash of the Champions" due to all of the matches being title bouts.

Cesaro won with a Neutralizer.
Neville was going for the Corkscrew SSP but got crotched, uppercutted and hit with the Neutralizer.

Lumberjack Match

Paige won with the Paige Turner.

- Chris Jericho vs Bray Wyatt
Jericho won with the Walls of Jericho.

Notes
- John Cena will be wrestling on May 2 at the next taping.
- I have no idea how many episodes were taped tonight. There are 6 weeks before the next taping and it felt like there were 4 or 5 shows worth of matches filmed. I believe the first episode ended with the Langston-O'Brian match and the second with the Ohno-Regal match. The "NXT Clash of the Champions" is likely going to be a special episode too. After that, I have no idea if we had 1 or 2 more episodes worth of matches taped.
- Ohno and Regal had a fantastic match that is well worth going out of your way to see. Neville and Cesaro's match was great as well.
- After Regal's match with Ohno he joined the commentary team.
- Bailey has Kristal Marshal's old theme song.
- Rami Sebei is El Generico unmasked.

This sounds pretty sweet.

Do they show NXT on Sky?

Yeah it's usually on at midnight/1am though not sure when is next on

Would anybody actually win one of these titles on NXT?

Forgive my ignorance I have never seen it

Night of Champions or whatever sounds brilliant viewing. Really good to see them mixing talent with the NXT wrestlers. Jericho seems as eager as anyone to help younger wrestlers. Interesting to see Regal won.

Most impressed that WWE seem to be putting effort into making Maddox a color commentator. He is full of character and charisma, if they can manage not to squash that out of him then he could be a very good addition.

Didnt realise The Shield were wreaking havoc on NXT as well!!

Really enjoying the Kassius Ohno/William Regal program, interested to see where it'll go

And it appears the WWE stupid name machine has rolled over El Generico.....

(Im aware he was using his real name here)

Quite ironic you complain about his name when El Generico in English translates imto "The Generic"

The internet would meltdown if someone with great pedigree was given that name

I didn't know you could speak spanish

Personally I think it's a good move for all involved, it gives WWE a chance to experiment with the guy behind the mask and for Generico's sake it's good that WWE won't have trademarked his character if it all goes south

Totally agree, they can't trademark his own name anyway so the fact he wrestles under his own name will only gain him even more exposure

Yeah if only he was going his own name Kay Fabe......

He is going under the name from now on

Spoiler:

I'm not defending the WWE's weird infatuation with generic names but I've heard worse, there's a few puns you could easily play around that name which makes promoing a bit easier, like I say though, when his main character translates as The Generic its just kinda ironic if we slate anything else

I'm struggling a little bit to get over how much of a carbon copy of the Ambrose/Regal feud from FCW it seems to be. Although I do think it's funny that of all the people in developmental, Regal chooses to work with the two former CZW world champs.

That's the whole point of FCW though, you try things, if it works you promote it to the better shows, if it bombs then you leave it where it is, that's why I hate the over-exposure of the Internet, FCW isn't something you're average fan is supposed to see, its like watching a Barcelona training session then complaining that the things they do on matchday is just a rip off of what they did well in training

I also like the fact that Ohno name checked CM Punk, fans who'll know Chris Hero expect him to do well but a lot of WWE fans might not know him so putting it out there that he trained alongside Punk and traveled with him will give him more credibility IMO, they will think well if he worked with Punk this guy might have something
