FCW Live Event Results – 05/13/2010

FCW Arena – Tampa, FL

Match 1: Titus O’Neill & Wes Brisco defeated Jacob Novak & Leo Kruger when O’Neill pinned Novak

Match 2: Dos Equis pinned Protis Clay

GM Norman Smiley came to the ring and asked FCW champion Alex Riley to join him. Smiley announced that next week at FCW Arena, former champ Justin Gabriel will finally be invoking his rematch clause. Riley was unhappy, but accepted the situation. Justin Gabriel came out and told Riley that he intends to win NXT to get the chance at a WWE champion of his choice on a PPV, but how great it would be to win back the first title he won since signing his developmental contract first. Riley then told Gabriel that he had a surprise for him… Wade Barrett & Joe Hennig then attack Gabriel from behind. Eli Cottonwood & Heath Slater quickly came in for the save. Smiley announced that tonight’s main event will be a 6-man tag match. Alex Riley, Joe Hennig, & Wade Barrett vs. Eli Cottonwood, Heath Slater, & Justin Gabriel.
