Johnny, you cheeseball Photo Credit: WWE.com Reign In Power, Bruno Definitely Not Lloyd Braun In Voiceover Form: Last Week on the Leftovers: Kairi Sane made the pre-show great again by hitting THE Elbow on Lacey Evans, and Heavy Machinery and Tino Sabotelli and Riddick Moss got taken out by the War Machine Raiders. The Garganos: come out to raucous applause Johnny: (off mic but to the camera) I've got goosebumps.  Look!  (shows them) Full Sailors: Welcome back!  Johnny Wrestling! Johnny: Going into New Orleans, I dreamt of this moment and the goosebumps it's giving me right now.  It's...it's really good to be home.  I was defined by Tomasso for too long... Full Sailors: BOOO! Johnny: ...it'll happen when your best friend stabs you in the back, breaks your heart, costs you a championship and then a career. Full Sailors: BOOO! Johnny: Hell, I couldn't even say his name for the longest, I was so haunted.  But after 37 grueling minutes I've got my life back ...

Get ready, you mutha***** for the big payback Photo Credit: WWE.com Results, stray thoughts, and takeaways from NXT's three- hour special from the Big Easy just as soon as I can finally relax when the credits box pops up... Results: Adam Cole beat Ricochet, ECIII, Lars Sullivan, Killian Dain and Velveteen Dream in a ladder match to become NXT's first-ever North American Champion. Shayna Baszler became the seventh woman to win the NXT Women's World Championship after Ember Moon passed out in the Kirifuda Clutch. The Undisputed Era's Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly retained the NXT World Tag Team Championships over the Authors of Pain and Roderick Strong and Pete Dunne in a triple threat match when Strong turned on Dunne, allowing Kyle O'Reilly to gain the fall. Appropriately enough, Aleister Black became the 13th different man to win the NXT World Championship by beating Andrade "Cien" Almas via pinfall after a second Black Mass. Johnny Gargano used a brac...

Reporters cry, producers die... Photo Credit: WWE.com Bobby Fish was officially written out of NXTV with an injury.  Unspecified on air since it's been only recently revealed is that the injury might keep him out until the winter. The Undisputed Era's Kyle O'Reilly and Adam Cole, BAY BAY ran in on what were to be the Dusty Classic finals between Pete Dunne/Roderick Strong and the Authors of Pain; as a result, William Regal made a triple threat match for both the Cup and the NXT World Tag Team Championships. The Era would complain about this later on to no avail. In advance of their match to be taped in the preshow of New Orleans tomorrow but aired next week as part of the usual leftovers show, Lacey Evans spent some time running down the entire division and her opponent, Kairi Sane, made relatively short work of Vanessa Borne. The promised hoss fight between Lars Sullivan and Killian Dain went to a ... let's say no contest when every other participant in the North Ameri...

A champion concerned about all this white-on-white violence Photo Credit: WWE.com Velveteen Dream: comes out to his usual big heel pop Tyler Bate: gets a smaller pop Both: go catch as can on the mat, Bate World of Sporting it up and sends Dream scurrying Dream: throws a fit outside Bate: grooms the 'stache Dream: gets control back from break and works over the back Bate: fires back with some forearms and a boot Exploder!  Airplane spin!  Rebound lariat!

Who's one more (hopefully kick-ass) match away from being number one contender? Photo Credit: WWE.com Master Regal: Welcome to NXT.  With Drew McIntyre out due to injury, an opportunity has opened up in the #1 contendership to face our new champion, Andrade "Cien" Almas, in Philadelphia at our next Takeover. There will be four qualifying singles matches and then a fatal four way, the winner of which will get the title shot in Philadelphia. Tonight, the first two of those occur as Killian Dain faces Trent Seven and Kassius Ohno... well, he was supposed to face the Velveteen Dream, who is still injured.  But he will face a worthy competitor nevertheless tonight.  Best of luck to all the competitors. Zelina Vega and Andrade "Cien" Almas: swag their way out Full Sailors: split reaction Zerlina: You are all witnesses to the beginning of a historical championship reign! Full Sailors: see earlier Zelina: Respect the man...embrace the legend...rise for your NXT Champion...
