NXT Results (9/20) – Tonight’s WWE NXT 2.0 episode opens up on the USA Network with highlights from last week’s NXT 2.0 One Year Anniversary show, including the teaser for the return of the black & gold.
– We see footage from earlier today, showing Carmelo Hayes knocking on someone’s office door in the back. New NXT North American Champion Solo Sikoa also enters the room and they have words. We see Shawn Michaels in the office now, it’s his office. Solo and Hayes are arguing but Michaels says we’re not doing this now. He gives them props for last week’s match and says he appreciates Solo working the match to fill in for Wes Lee, but says because Sikoa was not the person fans voted for to challenge Hayes last week, so the result of the match cannot stand. Michaels asks Sikoa to hand over the title and says he’s done it before so he knows it sucks. Michaels gives Sikoa props for what he’s done in NXT over the last year, and wishes him good luck on RAW, SmackDown or wherever he goes. Sikoa says he had some unfinished business to handle in NXT. Solo says he told Hayes he had next. Sikoa walks off and Hayes talks some trash. Hayes asked Michaels to hand over the title to him, but Michaels said Hayes tried to outsmart the system and got burned. Michaels respected Hayes being cocky and arrogant, but he told him any time he thinks he’s bigger than the business, the business will slap him in the face, and that’s what it did. Michaels reveals a 5-man Ladder Match for the vacant NXT North American Title at Halloween Havoc.
– We’re now live on a tape delay from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Vic Joseph welcomes us. He’s joined at ringside by Wade Barrett, and they hype tonight’s show as fans cheer.
