Dark Match: Fandango beat Garrett Dylan with a pretty cool finisher. The crowd was digging Fandango.

Dark Match #2: Layla beat Alicia Fox with the Lay-Out.

Episode 1 - Airing December 12

(1) U.S. champion Antonio Cesaro beat Michael McGillicutty with the Neutralizer in a non-title match. This match had some really good back and forth, and McGillicutty worked the role of
the face.

(2) Bo Dallas beat Axel Keegan with a Spear. After the match, Bo started to cut a promo challenging
anyone from the top of the roster to the bottom. (Big Show would later accept this challenge for the bonus main event.) But, Bo lost his composure when someone in the crowd shouted “Edge wants his gimmick back.”

(3) Corey Graves beat Yoshi Tatsu via submission with a “fuller leglock,” which looks like an upside-down figure-four. Really good heat for Graves.

(4) Roman Reigns beat Gavin Reid in a squash match. Byron Saxton tried to interview Reigns after the match, but Roman cut him off and kicked him out of the ring to cut his own heel promo. Reigns seems to have the whole package. His promo was arrogant, and received pretty good heat from a very “pro-heel” crowd.

(5) Tyson Kidd beat Leo Kruger via submission with the The Dungeon Lock. Really good match. It is really stunning to watch Kidd work.

After the match, Kassius Ohno came out and attacked Kidd from behind. As Ohno was about to hit his KO elbow, William Regal pulled Kidd out of the ring to close the show.

Episode 2 - Airing December 19

(1) Paige beat Sasha Banks (formerly Mercedes KV). Paige is a really solid in-ring wrestler and is loved by the Full Sail crowd. This was a massive improvement to the normal Divas matches seen on a weekly basis.

- Oliver Grey was in the ring awaiting his opponent when Bray Wyatt came out on stage. Wyatt said it was time to meet the next son of the Wyatt family and out came Erick Rowan. Wyatt sat at the top of the ramp in a rocking chair while Rowan dismantled Grey.

(2) Erick Rowan beat Oliver Grey with his unnamed finisher.

- NXT Commissioner Dusty Rhodes comes out to promote the NXT Championship match between challenger Jinder Mahal and defending champion Seth Rollins later tonight. He quickly turned his attention to the $5,000 bounty Vickie Guerrero placed on Big E. Langston a few weeks back and called her a bitch, which he then apologized for.

Camacho interrupted and says he is accepting the offer to take out Langston because he “needs money." Langston then comes out and says next week Camacho can try to take him out. Big E. even offers Camacho the chance to choose anyone he wants to team up to try to take him out.

(3) NXT champion Seth Rollins beat Jinder Mahal (in 3MB gear) with Blackout to retain the NXT Title. This was a good match, but not as good as their match for the title initially.

After the match, Corey Graves came out and exchanged words with Rollins to close the show.

Episode 3 - Airing December 26

(1) The Usos beat Epico & Primo when Jey hit a splash on Primo. The crowd was out of the match until the end when they came to life for the Usos's win. Primo and Epico were extremely dull, but the chant of the night was a “Where’s Carlito?” chant that started up mid-match.

After the match, The Ascension appeared on the Titantron while The Usos celebrated their win, extending their rivalry.

(2) Big E. Langston beat Aiden English & Camacho when Langston hit the Big Ending on English after Camacho bailed. Big E. was mega-over with the crowd. After the match, Big E. did the five count not once, but twice.

Reax: There is no doubt that Big E. is the most over star that they have in NXT. The crowd just lost it when he did the five-count. He is decent on the mic, but I wouldn’t expect to see him while Ryback is still around. But, Langston is pretty good in-ring. I’ve seen him work a couple longer matches, and it is much better than the usual muscle heads.

(3) Kassius Ohno beat Percy Watson with the KO elbow. This match was extremely sloppy, Watson was poor, and Ohno seemed to struggle with that. The crowd was worn out by this point.

- WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross came out and introduced NXT Champion Seth Rollins for an interview. Rollins was asked about his defense over Jinder Mahal last week and what’s next for him. Corey Graves interrupted, saying that he will become the next champion. Graves ambushed Rollins and placed him in a submission hold. Referees had to come out to break it up to close the show.

Reax: I really like this Graves-Rollins rivalry. They could do well.

Dark Match: World Heavyweight champion Big Show beat Bo Dallas with the W.M.D. to retain the World Title. Note: This match may be included in the third episode.
