NXT 2.0

We’re live in the Capitol Wrestling Centre and out comes the NXT Champion, Bron Breakker, along with the man who he took the title from, Tommaso Ciampa. Both men are wearing “Steiner” singlets.

Robert Roode comes out to his old NXT music, followed by Dolph Ziggler, but Breakker and Ciampa attack them on the ramp! All four men brawl around the ringside area and Ciampa dives over the ropes onto the Dawgz with a corkscrew plancha, then he and Breakker sit on the apron and pat themselves on the back and bark.

Bron Breakker & Tommaso Ciampa Vs. The Dirty Dawgz

Ciampa starts the match with Ziggler and Roode is still down on the outside. Ciampa stomps Dolph before tagging Breakker. Ciampa throws Ziggler up over his head and Breakker impressively catches him and hits a spinebuster. Roode rushes back in and Breakker drops him with a right hand, but then Ziggler hits him with the Zig-Zag for a near-fall.

Roode tags in and beats Bron down, then lands a neckbreaker. The fans chant “welcome home” and Roode tells them to shut up, so they start chanting “go back to RAW”. Ziggler tags in and grabs a sleeper on Breakker as the fans chant “you don’t go here”. Breakker fights up but gets caught with a neckbreaker. Roode tags back in and hits a suplex followed by a flying forearm off the middle rope.

Ziggler back in and he rakes the face of Bron, then tags Roode for a double team but Breakker counters them both. Ciampa gets the tag and comes in hot with clotheslines to both Roode and Ziggler in the corners, then a flying double clothesline to drop both. Ciampa pulls the singlet down and looks for the Fairytale Ending but Roode runs him into the corner. Ciampa fights him off and hits Dolph on the apron, but Roode catches him with a spinebuster for a two-count.

We return to see Ciampa catapult Dolph up and over the ropes to the floor. Roode checks on Ziggler before running around to pull Breakker off the apron and prevent the tag to Ciampa. Roode throws Breakker over the barricade into the crowd, then tags into the match and hits a double-team backbreaker with Ziggler for a near-fall.

The Dawgz look to isolate Ciampa but he sends Dolph to the outside and drops Roode. Both men are down but Breakekr returns to the apron and gets the tag opposite Ziggler. Bron comes in flying with lariats and hits both men with belly-to-belly suplexes. Breakker runs for a spear but Dolph kicks him in the face. Bron ducks a superkick and connects with a powerful spear, then tags Ciampa as the fans bark.

Ciampa goes up top and Bron lifts Dolph onto his shoulders so they can hit the iconic Steinerizer! Ciampa covers Ziggler but Roode rushes in and breaks the pin attempt. Ciampa and Roode go back-and-forth but Breakker sends him out of the ring and Ciampa is able to hit Ziggler with the Fairytale Ending and covers for the pin and the win!

LA Knight is walking backstage and he tells the viewers to call anyone they can because he’s about to walk out to the ring and call-out Grayson Waller. It’s time to play the piper and *toot toot* that’s him.

*Commercial Break*

LA Knight is in the ring and the fans are chanting his name. Knight says him and Grayson Waller have been doing this since before Halloween Havoc, where he beat Knight to get the hosting job. They put each other through Hell in WarGames. Then Waller stole his car and blindsided him, taking him out of action. Well he came back and beat the holy Hell out of Waller, so he went and got a restraining order and a bodyguard. Did that stop LA Knight? Na na!

Grayson Waller and Sanga appear on the platform above the fans and Waller says he beat Knight last week and their feud is over. Knight says he can’t hear what he’s saying over the fans telling him how much he sucks. Waller says the fans suck, Knight sucks, and he’s moving on with his life. Knight holds him up and shows a picture of last week when he left him lying in the ring. Knight says they’ve wrestled twice and both times he’s left Grayson lying.

LA asks Waller to prove he has a shred of manhood in those marbles, he wants a Last Man Standing match. Waller says next week he’s getting all the likes and swipes because he’ll be the last man standing. Knight says he was hoping he’d say that because he’s going to leave Waller lying for a third and final time, not because he’s not good enough because Knight won’t allow him to win. And that’s a fact of life. YEAH!

Indi Hartwell is warming-up backstage but Persia is busy texting. Hartwell asks if she’s got her eye on the ball and Pirotta says she does. They walk off but Persia runs back to send one last text.
