-Dana Brooke cuts a promo backstage with Devin. She calls herself “misunderstood” because they called her a “former fitness model”, but talks about recently competing in the Arnold Classic Brazil. She tells Charlotte she’s being replaced by the “Total Diva”, and that some people have to earn their place in NXT instead of their family name opening the door. Dana was reading the promo line for line about two feet left of the camera, because it appeared to us she was just staring intently at nothing the entire time.
(3) Kevin Owens vs. Samoa Joe
Owens mocks the “NXT rookie” and yells at him that he’s the champ, and Joe decks him in the face and an all-out brawl stars. Joe matches his intensity with every single move. They go to commercial and when they come back the brawl is still going on. The champ gets an edge and hits the cannonball in the corner followed by a running senton splash, then slows down the pace with a side headlock for several minutes. The crowed chants “headlock city”. Joe tries to fight back a few times, and Owens knocks him back down. KO takes too long mocking him, and Joe hits him with an atomic drop and a senton of his own. Spinning wheel kick out of the ropes for a two-count. Running leg lariat for two. They head up to the top rope and Joe looks for the Muscle Buster, but Owens starts throwing right hands to back him off. He rushes the corner but runs into the S-T-Joe and the fight spills to the floor. Kev teases the powerbomb on the apron but Joe fights out of it and we get a referee bump as the brawl continues. The ref eventually calls for the bell as the two beat the hell out of each other on the ramp.
Winner: No Contest
-A swarm of referees separate them but they continue to fight. They pull apart, come back together, repeat as necessary. Eventually security gets involved and it takes about 15 people to pull them apart to end the show.
