WWE NXT Result (09 May 2012)

Matt Striker and William Regal start the show in the ring. Striker says that tonight will feature Tyson Kidd and Percy Watson against Michael McGillicutty and Johnny Curtis. Striker recaps why this same pairing was nixed a few weeks ago, and throws it to Regal to explain the details. Regal says that he does not think that Watson attacked Riley last week, and despite his suspicions, McGillicutty has alibis for the two attacks.At the suggestion of John Laurinaitis, he has hired a new security company to handle things backstage to keep the peace. Striker calls out the security team.

Oh look, it is Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins wearing suits. Regal calls for security to remove them. Hawkins and Reks gloat as they tell him that their new job is the security team. Regal can’t believe it. Hawkins says that they are there to “serve and protect so little guys like Striker don’t get kidnapped.” Strikers blows a gasket and runs at them, but Regal warns him off. Striker starts to argue. Hawkins says that they are on best behavior, and have a second chance and will be having a match on Superstars this week. Regal tells them that they had better stay on the straight and narrow.

As Maxine comes out to the ring (handcuffed to Johnny Curtis), she compliments William Regal. She then acknowledges her loss on Raw (accidentally saying that it happened “last night,” which is accurate as of the time of the taping, but not the time of the airing), but says that it is about working together a a team, and she holds no hard feelings against “Tammy” and falsely compliments her. She promises that she’s a new person.

Tamina Snuka vs. Maxine (w/Johnny Curtis)

Curtis is on commentary. He says that he doubts that Maxine has actually changed. Curtis is acting a bit weird, but not in his usually creepy way. Maxine fooled Snuka to take control of the match. Maxine with a hard full nelson that looks very painful. Maxine locks on her reverse Dragon Sleeper and Snuka has to put her into the turnbuckle to escape. Snuka with a comeback. Samoan Drop and the Superfly Splash, but Maxine rolls out of the way and Snuka eats canvas. Maxine with a Dragon Sleeper on the mat, and Snuka taps.

WINNER: Maxine via submission.

Post-mast, Maxine acts all smiles and giggles, and is happy to be re-handcuffed to Johnny Curtis.

Alicia Fox introduces a new and improved JTG. He has proper trunks, a new hairdo, a pleather vest, and real ring boots. This could be just what JTG needs to get his career back on track.

Yoshi Tatsu vs. JTG (w/Alicia Fox)

Early back-and-forth between the two. JTG goes on sustained offense. Tatsu’s got a bad nosebleed. Tatsu makes a comback with chops then kicks. A Shining Wizard gets a nearfall. Tatsu calls for the end, but JTG ducks. JTG nearly falls over backwards, recovers, and gets in his finisher for the win.

WINNER: JTG

Backstage, Curtis is freaking out over the “new Maxine.” They run into Hawkins and Reks. Reks says they should work together, but Curtis says that their current situation is from working together with Reks and Hawkins. Hawkins says that they they have an “in” with John Laurinaitis, and can see them through safely “if there is an NXT left.”

Maxine questions the “if there is an NXT left” bit, and Reks says to ignore it. Reks offers them a gift, the handcuff keys which they take. Striker walks in and tells them to go find some bad guys, and they head out. Curtis acts grateful to be free of Maxine.

Backstage, Kaitlyn tells Watson that the attacks backstage have been bothering her. He wants to know why he’s in the middle of it. She says that it looks suspicious. Derrick Bateman appears (wearing a suit) and tells Kaitlyn to be careful around Watson because he can’t be trusted. Kaitlyn tells Bateman that ever since his match on Smackdown, he’s been acting like a jerk. He tells her that he was embarrassed and he’s angry. She tells him that she can take care of herself and talk to whoever she wants. Bateman storms off. Watson tells her that he understands and isn’t offended, and runs off to talk to Bateman. Kaitlyn talks to herself wondering why everyone near her is acting weird. There’s a noise in the background and she goes running back to find out that Bateman’s been attacked. He says he doesn’t know who did it, and confirms that Watson didn’t find him. She also finds Watson’s old giant glasses from NXT 2 on the scene.

Tysonn Kidd & Percy Watson vs. Michael MCGillicutty & Johnny Curtis – Tag Team match

There is some brilliant wrestling between McGillicutty and Kidd to start the match. Back-and-forth with Watson and Curtis and McGillicutty, then Kidd tags in and lands a big dive over the ropes to fire up the crowd. He stands on the barricade to get the crowd excited as they cut to break.

Out of the break, Kidd is controlling McGillicutty. Curtis messes with the ropes when Kidd looks for a springboard move, and Curtis and McGillicutty are able to isolate Kidd for a stretch. Nasty tag team action as McGillicutty puts Kidd on the mat with a backslide, and Curtis hits Kidd with a top-rope leg drop for two. Kidd finally gets Watson in after some hard-fought separation, and Watson comes in at fast-forward speed. The Highsman gets a nearfall, but Curtis breaks it up. Kidd takes Curtis out of the equation. McGillicutty fights out of the Percycution, but misses a corner splash, letting Watson get the Percycution for the win.

WINNERS: Tyson Kidd and Percy Watson.

Post-match, Reks and Hawkins come out to take Watson away. Kidd tells them not to, so Hawkins clocks Kidd. After a brief struggle, they take Watson to the back.

The show goes off air.
